Your signature with timestampentence (the HOT ACTION one) is a fucking idiot. I'm fifteen years old, male, and heterosexual; and I have not, nor will I ever engage in HOT ACTION after 12:30pm. I'm deleting the sentence. MaxW 02:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Teenagers under age 17 should have a curfew so there wont be too much of a violence-
I dont think we should have curfews some of us aren't as bad as others. So why should we be punished for people's bad choices. If they want to be out they should have permission from their parents, not the law. It should be up to their parents. Did the law raise kids? Nope. So I think that kids under the age of 18 should go by what their parents say and think is reasonable. I know all the people who enforced this law think that they are helping kids, but they're probably making it alot worse by making the kids feel more rebellious. And I know that I get pissed when I can't go and stay out late on a saturday night even though my parents already said I could.
From another persons point of view-
Considering that I cannot pick a side, I will make a view at both points:
     
My curfew view- There are many reasons why curfews have been enforced. I am only 12 and do not live in an enviroment with a curfew so I could careless, but I see many rants as is. The Curfew law is supposably put to make sure that kids who are young and vulnerable don't go out and get raped or shot. Of course there are people who can hold their own against the world. But even so, it is not official that you are known responsible enough. Even if you are maybe someone isn't. Anyway, by age 18 you should be able to control your actions and can handle yourself better whereas if you are a vulnerable kid, not saying everyone is, you aren't raped as easy. You would already by that time know when you are in a unsafe enviroment or not. Already knowing that even the known safest enviroment isn't exactly fully secure either. This is only an opinion if I was on the side of the curfew law.
My non-curfew view- I know that the law, or "the man", is trying to plant a curfew time for certain areas. Meaning we aren't allowed out of our house at certain times. As much as I understand the concerns that they have of us being out at night, I think it isn't necessary that we should have it. Not saying we all go out at night and underage drink or pop caps into people or vice versa. We consider it dictatorship because we have no rights. You have no right to take away our privileges. But, for the law to even lay down a curfew is just like taking away our freedom. If there is one person who should even think about what we should do and what time we come home, it would be our parent/guardian. I mean, if you are gonna let people drop out of school, only if you have a letter from your parent/guardian, then why not the parent/guardian also decide what time their own child goes out.
:* This is meant to be an article on curfews in the style of an encyclopedia, so that means factual information. Although I appreciate that this is topic that can stir very strong feelings, if you want a change in how curfews are used or not used, migFile:Áht I suggest raising them with your elected representatives rather than here.

message: Teen curfew's are a serious issue and the section needs to be cleaned up by someone familiar with the subject matter. The text is both sparse and poorly written in many places, and more factual evidence is needed.

I have taken the liberty to change the generalistic statement that many teenagers commit crimes at night, to some teenagers.

Unfortunately, I agree. I believe I can re-write it.. but seeing that I am new, it's slightly hard to figure out how to add it. =P

thread_title: Cleanup/rewrite

message: Why shouldn't we? What do we have to do at 2 o'clock in the morning that we couldn't at 10 in the evening? Most teens don't really have a reason to be out at 2 o'clock in the morning anyway. And the ones who are against it are the ones who are always out and causing trouble at the night.
:Christ. It doesn't _matter_ what _you_ think children should be doing at a particular time. What matters is whether the law has the right to restrict freedom of movement. We have a little document called "the constitution" that says 'no,' but those of you who don't understand the concept of restriction of government power tend to disregard it. Also, learn to spell, or at least use a spell-checker. It doesn't take much time, and it would make your argument sound slightly less retarded.
:Well I'm against it, just because I believe in personal liberty and authority. The notion that "all have to suffer from the mistakes of a few" seems to overrule in this case. And I've always hated that notion, because I never ever do things that are harmful or violent, don't drink alcohol, anything, so that doesn't give police any reason to arrest me at all. You are making a blanket statement on all who "are agisnt it" but not all cause trouble at night. - AstareGod 13:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Who wrote the BS that was there before? Only one or two states have curfew laws (one of them being Indiana, I think). All curfew decisions are left to counties and cities, which makes it harder to overturn the law. To get rid of a state law, all you need is one smart, brave kid willing to get arrested. With this set-up, you need one in each county, which isn't going to happen.

Actually in Illinois, since January 1, 2008, there has been a state wide curfew stateing that all teenagers under the age of 18 are not allowed to drive past 10pm Sunday-Thursday and not past 11pm Friday and Saturday and can not begin driving until 6 am the next day. There are certain allowances for jobs and school functions. Otherwise though, if caught out driving after such times your license could be suspended.146.163.51.133 (talk) 21:30, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Is it really the law in the U.S. that au pairs can be forced to follow a curfew set by the “head of the household”? (This would be seen as unconstitutional in Germany if the au pair is over 18 years old, otherwise the parents or legal guardians would be the ones to decide - who could of course delegate this to the adults in a host household.) If this only applies to au pairs who are not of age, it should say so in the article. Who is the general who is recommending 9 p.m. for their curfew, anyway? Just kidding, but I really would like to see some citations if an article says “generally recommended”. Also, why does the article only talk about au pair “girls”, when au pairs can be any gender? Or does this really mean that the generally recommended curfew only applies to female au pairs? I think “au pair girls” should be replaced by “au pairs” everywhere, if that is not the case (which I really hope). -sebi- (talk) 08:52, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
