how much do I hate American parents?
Good God the self-righteousness of the "we must all follow the LAW and be GOOD SOLDIERS!!!" brigade. "For the CHILDREN!!!" they maintain.
Listen up moms and dads. Anything you did as a kid is okay for your kids to do. Did you live to tell about it? Well then they will too. Did you have sex before you were married? Couple of one-night stands where you can't even remember the person's name? Did you drink at ages 18, 19 and 20? How about 15, 16 and 17? Did you smoke pot, take shrooms, do lines, pop pills? Did you drive over the speed limit with no seat belt on?
Sure, sure you say, but things were "DIFFERENT" then! Some of those things weren't against the law then (and we know you're SO law-abiding--how about on your tax returns? how about those speed limits? Never go a mile over 65 do ya?) The weed was "weaker," cocaine is not as bad as crack, we didn't KNOW about seat belts, blah blah blah.
Fact is, you wanted to do fun things and take risks when you were young and so do young people now. Perhaps they want it even more considering what an utterly shitty world we have made for them.
This 15-year-old makes me puke. Self-righteous prig. Hope he gets a chronic illness which make him unable to hold down any medication given by mouth so that the only thing that helps is smoking the EVIL WEED. That would be justice. Fuck DARE for lying to our kids for decades now. Bunch of police department PROPAGANDA or have we forgotten the distinction between information and LIES?
The only thing this Mom did wrong was somehow fail to instill in her son an understanding of the entirely capricious nature of the law (one minute 18-year-olds can drink the next moment they can't, etc.) As Dickens said, THE LAW IS AN ASS. US law has upheld slavery of blacks and the second-class status of women. The law is VERY OFTEN absolutely WRONG, and it is obviously so with respect to our drug laws.
You can't make nature illegal. Pot is a weed that grows in the wild and is ingested in pure, unadulterated form. Please arrest God for putting this horrible plant on the planet, he is obviously a drug pusher.
