I mean, it sounds like such a stereotype Orange County thing.
-
yah idk... i live in a pretty small town... a little over 6,000... so maybe its a little different compared to where you grew up... about 1 month ago in a town about 45 mins away from me... these teenagers were on there way home from a party... they crammed 9 kids into a fuckin little 5 person coupe... and they crashed.. 5 of them died... its pretty horrible... all because they were to scared to call there parents... my parents always have told me if i dont have a ride(a sober driver) or no where to stay i can always call them
-
and what is the sterotype of orange county?
-
I grew up in Miami. That's about as f'd up as it gets.You haven't seen The OC? Lots of rich, permissive parents, with kids who go to town with the sex and drugs?
-
yah but its different around here... its somewhat like a farm town.. not the city or anything.. its hard to explain
haha yah thats defantly not us... not rich... parents would kill me if i did drugs... my parents know i have had sex... but they dont... promote it.. i think thats the word im looking for...
-

Steve, it's often said (though it may be a myth) that in Prohibition more alcohol was drunk than when it was legal. Do you think the current selective prohibition for people under 21 in the US is any more successful?BTW, I've known a few teen alcoholics. Their alcoholism of course held them back in life, as well as gradually deteriorating their frontal lobes. But the ones I knew were good kind people. (I'm not pointing any moral - just my observation.)

Quote:Steve, it's often said (though it may be a myth) that in Prohibition more alcohol was drunk than when it was legal. I don't know that it's true, but it's certainly plausible. A lot of drinking was done during prohibition, but worse was the corrosive effect the law had on society and the legal system. It was incredibly corrupting, and it fueled the rampant growth of organized crime.Current drug laws not only have the same effect, but do little to decrease the availability of illicit drugs, judging from their street prices.That begs the idea, thought, that it's wrong to regulate adults' personal behavior, and the negative effects of the diminuation of liberty.But still, it doesn't mean it's a good idea to get drunk all the time, even if the government doesn't stop you from doing it.Quote:Do you think the current selective prohibition for people under 21 in the US is any more successful?This is a complex question, which I'll defer for the moment.Quote:BTW, I've known a few teen alcoholics.

(I'm not pointing any moral - just my observation.) For much of my life, I've been surrounded by alcoholics. I don't know whether it has something to do with me, or it's just the way the dice roll. My own parents drank rarely, and I drink very moderatly. A beer or a couple of glasses of wine from time to time are fine with me; that put me in the "doesn't drink" category with some of the people I know. In some cases, someone had to be the adult, and I was stuck with the job.My uncle had a bar on the Skid Row of Miami, and I got to know some of the regulars, including my aunt. Nice people, mostly, but with destroyed lives. An 8-year-old shouldn't have been exposed to some of the things my aunt did.
