I think you are giving far too much credit to the majority of parents out there. Most of them are retards! They can't even take care of themselves never mind be a good role model for their kids[/QUOTE]Sadly I know you are right, and I have seen it in several countries since years.I went to primary school in Belgium, and remember we had 1 hour per week of "civic education". Topics were like how the parliament function, the basic idea of what is a constitution, the need of respect.of law if we want social life to work, etc..Must also have been things about being polite, civil behaviour etc..We are speaking mid 60's here so the world was not yet the madhouse it is now.But it was our parents who teached us (sometimes harshly) how to properly behave in society. And there was 4 of us !

Some of the darkest days of my life were when I was smoking weed every day. I think it's a horrible drug and should not be advertised in such a way. If it has medicinal purposes, then great. Let's explore that. But I think creating a culture in which drug use is normalized is not the way to go. "War on drugs" is also not effective.Instead, resources should be spent on education about these harmful drugs so we create a culture of responsible use (or better yet, no use at all unless for medicinal purposes).#JackStraw for governor 2023[/QUOTE]It does have medicinal uses, but that's after the hallucinogenic component has been removed. People who smoke dope to alleviate pain are making excuses for using drugs.

They have these things called schools. It's for teaching. You could teach people about responsible use there.[/QUOTE]Kids think they know too much, so not interested. They think they're different, and can try different drugs and not get hooked. I have one in my family, started on dope, no problem she said, dope is not addictive, but then needed to try something more, and it's a one way road.
