There's not a damn thing Baby Boomers haven't farked up.

As a baby boomer I have to say,

don't blame us, we didn't ask to be born.

That's one way to keep teenagers off drugs?

It never ceases to amaze me when someone that I *know* did some heavy pot smoking during the 'summer of love' turns up to give an anti-drug speech. And they usually spew the same sort of rhetoric that Nixon did when he created the DEA.

I really do wonder how some of those people sleep at night. I'll bet it involves scotch and/or sleeping pills.

Children don't know shiat, they only know what they're told.

Those assholes are all hooked on that Facebook.

I come from a family that crosses the generation divide. My mom is McCain's age and my oldest brother are boomers while my younger siblings are Xers. For a long time, I thought that the problems were just with the boomers, but as I grew older I came to realize that boomers mostly act they way they do because of their own damn parents. If you don't like Boomers, don't vote for McCain. It's his generation that really is responsible for this mess.

This makes sense, because most of the people now having kids are complete and total losers. Don't know what it is, but current batch of twenty-somethings are complete farkwads.

You know as well as I do that the war on drugs was created long before Dixon. Like it or not, the US is a country founded by puritans ... the DEA is just the logical extension. You guys gotta just farking relax. North American political discourse right now is sad. It's about every hypocrite calling everyone else a hypocrite. No good can come of this.

I'm old enough to remember this classic from the 80's:

I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!!! (new window)

What do you expect? So many kids grew up farked up on ADD & ADHD drugs that you'd expect them to move onto the better shiat.

Pincy: This makes sense, because most of the people now having kids are complete and total losers.


At my high school reunion last year, it became obvious that the girls who should have never had kids, were the first ones to get knocked-up.

In the past three minutes I've seen two anti-drug ads television. They make the most ridiculous points.

Bullshiat everyone knows that all teenagers every where are on drugs at all times.

/half kidding.

Of course kids are worried about their parents doing drugs. If they get busted, the kids wind up in foster care.

The funniest recent drug commercial is the one where a kid who smokes weed burns his guitar on the barbecue. What musician ever did drugs and was successful?!?!?

Hmmm... it didn't really work that way in my house.

//now that the little sister is 21, we can have family pub crawls

I would rather do illegal drugs and knowing the side effects beforehand than doing legal prescription drugs and get sent to the OR because my heart is going to explode because of complications.

My son keeps asking me about drugs, and I tell him the truth--pot isn't dangerous. It's just a matter of time, now....

He hasn't found my stash yet.

Can we get another AW from the Boomers? I can just see them now, sitting around talking about how their son is on them about the and how it is totally ruining their feeling of "completeness" or some shiat.

My dad is a former hippie and so is my step-mom. I wasn't surprised to find out that they did some pot (or in their case), a lot of pot back in the 70s.

Father's day, 2005 my sister and I came over for father's day dinner with our dad and step-mom. My sister also brought over her then Four year old daughter Katie. It wasn't long after my sister arrived that we realized that she was stoned. My dad and step-mom's reaction was basically "We don't care if you're doing pot, we did the same thing. Our concern comes when you're doing it in front of your child, and when you get behind the wheel stoned."

My sister is pregnant and already has two children. Her husband makes money by selling out of their living room. No one that I know who sells out of their home has never been caught, so it's only a matter of time until I get the call that my sister and her husband have been arrested. Especially since they both already have warrents out for their arrest for unpaid speeding tickets.

Legalize drugs; all of them!

my bro read this and shot the link to me. Last christmas, we (my wife, my bro and me) went to the local casino and left our kids with our parents. When we came back, we found my mom, dad, two aunts and an uncle smoking pot and drinking. They told us not to worry, that they weren't "so high they couldn't drive" in case one of the kids got hurt.

My eldest daughter was inside (awake, when she should of been in bed) playing guitar hero, laughing that everyone else was 'acting all goofy and let me do what i want'.

Texas, sadly.

Last month we reminded her of the warrant out for her arrest, she said, "My husband was visited by a cop one day while I was at work. He told the cop that he can't go to jail because he was the only one home with a baby less than a year old, so the cop went away."

Upon hearing this, I said, "And you actually believed that shiat?" She's still convinced that as long as she has young children in the home, the police won't arrest her. Reality going to suck for her.

Awesome. Why do people in the US have unpaid tickets that result in warrants...especially when they are committing illegal acts regularly?

Thank Jebus here in cannuckville unpaid tickets don't mean you are going to jail.

Sigh

I am 22 years of age, my mother is 51.. I lived with her until the end of 5th grade, I did not really realize it at my age and the trust I had for my mother. As I got older I realized it however, snorting/smoking coke, she never rocked it up tho.. Bud is nothing, I could care less.. She smoked regularly as do I now, however she has completely lost herself..

I went to a foster home in 4th grade, when she started to lose it, due to a bunch of shiat including me and my brother that is 4 years older than myself.

To make a long story short, she delivered news papers for nearly 10 years, yes... A paperwoman.. Due to my own farking around I got kicked out my grandmothers at the age of 16, I tried to move back in with my mom. She still had the paper routes at this time however come to find out she is smoking Meth heavily.. Having tons of other junkys over every night, all night. I could not sleep and it sure was not farking healthy.. We lived in a trailer to make it worse (she has been living there for 30ish years, owns the trailer)..

She Crashes her car due to being high as a kite.

Paper route reduces her extremely good pay (lol?) - She agreed to it as I witnessed it. However when her first check with the reduction comes she flips out and claims to not have been told, loses/quits her fine career.

She has not worked since, it has been about 6 years. She lives off of my Grandmother more so and a bit of myself.

My older brother will not speak to her at all, we bother never knew our fathers growing up (different fathers). He always wanted to meet his, at the age of about 21 he finds the man she claims to be the father. He tells my brother that he left our mother because he knew that he was not the father.. Paternity test backs his word.

I'm always debating if I should keep her in my life as well, she lies to me every-single-time I see her. She claims not to smoke the junk anymore but it is blatantly obvious that she does. She is missing half her teeth and the remaining ones will not last much longer. Every now and then I will catch one of her junky "adult" friends that I will have to chase out of the trailer when I visit her.

Tons of issues with this woman. My brother is very successful and I have made many improvements in the last 4 years..

When I visit I try and get her support, she does not accept it tho. I try to use weed to get her off the junk actually but she just continues to lie and mentally abuse me, Its very hard to deal with but I find it harder to just forget about her...



Anyway.. I get this feeling from alot of older, completely lost individuals.. They are farking children, and I hate it. Fark em.

I noticed that almost everyone puts "/hot linked" under a picture that they have posted... WHY?

I really do hate Baby Boomers, and my generation: Generation Y. I feel more comfortable with the Xers. The farking Ys are the biggest tools around.

I was held back in school a for a while and it was like stepping into a new world. A world of scared, pretentious people. There were the type you only thought existed on TV. Did anyone else feel this sort of thing happen?

Thank Jebus here in cannuckville unpaid tickets don't mean you are going to jail.

Because there's got to be some way to get you to pay the speeding fine, or else, no one would. I don't know about the rest of the U.S., but here in Texas, if you don't have the money, or don't want to pay the fine, a simple night in jail typically does the trick. A friend of mine does this with his tickets. He has a few drinks, checks himself into the jail, goes straight to bed, in the morning he visits the judge, the judge sentences him to time served and he goes home.

In my sister and her husband's case, it's not that simple. Simply not paying the fine is viewed as skipping your court date because within 30 days of the ticket you have to make an appearance (a phone call is not an appearance). You either pay the fine by either saying guilty or no contest (guilty is pretty much, yeah you caught me I did it. No Contest means, I don't want to deal with this, I'm not guilty, but I don't want to deal with it, so here's the money). Not Guilty equals a court date and you get to confront the officer, if the officer doesn't show, you walk.

Since she never did anything with the ticket, it's viewed as skipping out on her court appearance, which is a crime, and won't simply be solved by one night in jail. Especially if they serve the warrant while they're both smoking a joint, then it's failing to appear in court and possession, and if there's enough for a sell or two, it could even go up to a felony charge of possession (watched several episodes of Cops, learned about the whole felony level of possession thing).

Now, this doesn't happen with parking tickets, just moving violations.
