If that's what you got out of it, no wonder its annoying. You might as well not read if you lack the ability to understand.

It's different when you're an adult and making decisions for yourself - but when a parent downplay drugs and alcohol to kids - especially when they're at that stage of their life where there can be big repercussions, I think they aren't doing their job properly.

I'm saying its not your option to make that decision on behalf of my children.

So if a bunch of you more socially liberal parents want to get together and let your kids drink in the rec room-go nuts! If you think that's best for your kids as they are in a safe environment-great on you. You are operating against the law, and against society's beliefs, so you are taking some real risk upon yourselves.

So what's your argument? What facts do you want? I, and people like me are being unreasonable? That's not a fact. I don't understand the issue? That's just fucking offensive. It's that offense that drives these threads to the point of "I, Taylor 001 through 192 is fucking right, and you people are fucking retarded for not agreeing with me" Couldn't get the 193rd on board?

A lot of posts in here are being blown out of proportion. Both sides bring up valid points.

Of course they do, not my fault you're not intelligent enough to find them.

My GF teaches sex ed, she has tons of research material on teaching kids about safe sex vs the typical abstinence crap taught in American schools. Guess what? it works as countries that teach safe sex have lower teenager pregnancy and STI rates vs those that teach abstinence or nothing at all.

The exact same applies to alcohol and drugs. You can teach them safety, or you can pull the wool over your eyes and think they won't do anything wrong.


Drinking age on private property is not enforced, yet you'd know this since you're quoting the "law".


For drugs and alcohol, you are correct, make your own foolish decisions.

For sex, you'll be surprised. That decision was made by people smarter than you, sex education is part of the BC curriculum starting in elementary school despite the protests of idiot parents that don't want it taught at all. Unfortunately, idiot parents can ask their kids be pulled from these classes cause they'd rather teach abstinence or any other stupidity which does not work.


As I pointed out, the drinking age argument doesn't apply on private property. Nice rant, pointless though.


A responsible parent will ensure the other parents know.

Aside from that, you don't even have kids and are acting like a crazed whacko who "owns" their children. God help your kids, and I don't believe in god, so they're fucked.


You are responsible for your own actions. If you are offended by my words, go take a chill pill and come back.

Then again, you're probably the type to teach that you're not responsible for your own actions, that someone else is always to blame for when you go off the handle. Sad, I feel sorry for you.

I've pointed you to where the facts are, now go off and do some research, you'll be better off for it, and your eventual kids will thank me.

honestly alot of people in this thread have their head in the clouds and dont seem to have a grasp on how the real world works

also in terms of strict "asian parents" thing, i'm asuming this is a chinese thing because the viet people i grew up with/was good friends with all had horrible parents who couldnt care less about what they did as long as the cops didnt show up.

Define "tons". I bet its more like a "few" which is the exception cause there's always going to be idiots that never learn - for example there's lots in this thread.
