I see what you just did there   *winkwinknudgenudge*
 
Lots of drug education stuff is crazy. We might be all the chillun of the world, but we're not stupid. Lots of times random youth groups will come to schools and and try to talk about the horrors of people who took a drug. It usually is how a band de copain was screwing around, started taking drugs. One person is peer pressured in, takes it, and gruesomely has their brain swell up and is dead within an hour. Not that i'm saying it doesn't happen, but more like the way the story was told. Completely BS, make's my parent's stories about the Big Bad Wolf sound realistic.*
 
Being in IB, a lot of open ended questions are complete crap. How will you apply the fantastical life lessons you just learned from a corny movie that looks like it was made during the age of the T-Rex in real life? Gee, well now that I understand the symptoms of hyponatremia I will initiate public campaigns in an effort to enlighten all of society in the possible detriments of consuming abnormal levels of dihydrogenmonoxide without supplementing oneself with an inadequate ratio of necessary electrolytes. Recent advancements in psychology, as conducted by the American Physiological Association, dictate that the use of characteristic advertisements may induce greater success rates in the education of a general public in the harms of hyponatremia.

*I completely disagree with the consumption of most drugs, but some of the life lessons that people try to teach are just rediculous.

You may be a little young for this Kid but one that stands out in my mind was when Clinton came on tv and said he didn't have a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. What a mess that was. I didn't personally know him but at the moment nothing is coming to mind.

Clinton revealed himself as a liar during his campaign when he admitted to experimenting with marijuana but "I didn't inhale".

*mindblown

Are you trying to tell me criminals don't register their guns? What kind of crazy talk is that...  
 
Anyways, speaking of political deceptions I've always liked the whole Moon Bears take on it.

"With all due respect" is quite accurate if no respect at all is due. Depends on how it's meant.
