I'm sick of the temperance style attitude towards alcohol. Unless these kids were going to be driving afterward, where is the harm?

Answer: There isn't any.

Sorry I didn't reply to your comment earlier, Peter. I was busy jotting down the hundreds of laws that these "kids" shouldn't follow anymore. But, they probably already have their own list, so it's wasted time on my part.

Just wondering exactly when you would suggest they start following the rules of our society. How about when they turn twenty-one? Better yet, let them ignore the laws 'til they're 25. Maybe they shouldn't be responsible for themselves until they get married, or have children. Great life lesson you suggest. And some people STILL can't figure why a lot (A LOT) of today's "kids" have little, or no, respect for authority. Why, I've actually heard there are places where you can steal stuff and punch cops - after all, they're just teenagers.

Don't like the laws? Change them. Otherwise, suffer the consequences of getting caught doing something you KNOW is unlawful. What consequences? Could be a fine, a police record, time behind bars, or, as some choose, become potting soil for someone's flower bed. Another of life's lessons.

Well peter how do you think these kids get money for their booze and drugs....breaking and entering. Cars, homes, businesses...you name it. So the kids who have died in college from binge drinking or related shenanigans really not important. You clearly do not have any teenagers.

LOL This reminds me of the buffalo incident that is currently before the courts. I heard yesterday that the lawyer for the 14yr old is saying that it's unconstitutional to try the kid as an adult. Since we are discussing making kids more responsible for their actions and IMHO tyring to teach them rules and limits. People with Peter's attitude are the ones sabotaging this whole thing by applying adult rules. Let's forget that they were drinking as underage or providing alcohol to underage kids.

They locked the door on the police and then organized to bum rush the police to keep from being arrested, the grabbed speakers and other stuff to fight off the police with. Is this how you want your children to act? Anyone who has the nerve to whine about the thuggish attitude of todays kids while trying to enable them by minimalizing things like is truly truly ignorant.

Back to the Buffalo thing, in reading the 14th amendment that they cite in complaints of trying youthful offenders as adults. Wouldn't it be something to see...the Judge decides to set precedent and eliminate youth court entirely. Try all youths in all crimes the same as adults. After all isn't this the same variation of the argument people used when they wanted to apply the elder abuse law on Jaquetta? Its not fair, it's age discrimination.

People need to be very careful what they wish for and push to support. You might just get it.

David you sit in front of a computer, if you can't look LMAO up then I can't help you either. Trying to imply that I lack courage to tell you is even funnier than the fact you don't know what it means.

As for the alcohol thing I think everyone here probably tried it when they were underage however we also knew the risk of getting caught by the police and what would happen as well. So your sarcasm is pretty much wasted.

As for people being "Hammered by the Batavian" I guess you havent yet realized that this forum isn't full of comments from the Batavian, but its the comments of it's readers. Someday you might make the distinction.

ROTFLMAO

Kyle you heathen with your rotflyao. And to the folks whining about "oh like you never drank before you were of legal age crap". And when a drug thirsty 19 year old breaks into your home, carrying a hunting knife and destroys your property guess you will just chalk it up to a bad freaking day. Cool!

I just don't understand the need to continuously make such a public display of these arrests. Obviously it's propagated by a nose problem within our community.
