Re: Take a look at what my parents just installed on the computer.
vulture i agree it's bad form and will try to delete my suggestion. i am all for parents protecting 16-year-olds from their own stupidity, particularly when it comes to binge drinking, drugs, drunk driving and drunk passengering, not to mention exposure to gambling. however, i also feel that without some freedom at 16 they will not be ready for it at 18, and that this is really more of a contest of wills between child and parent than any serious infraction. nevertheless you are right.

If you wanted to be a huge badass you could go and look at animal porn or kiddie porn. Then you would have to tape your parents reaction. Then post it. [/ QUOTE ] This is the best idea yet.

The kid's sixteen. If you're an adult imposing internet restrictions on your 16yo child, you're an imbecile. [/ QUOTE ] My point had nothing to do with whether or not the parents are right; my opinion is that they are NOT. But none of that matters--I have no business meddling in the parents' right to raise their kids as they see fit. It is nobody's business but theirs, and any attempt to influence someone else's kids against their parents is way out of line.

You know who's really lame? The 30 yr. old guy who'll buy the high school kids the beer. There he is, with his big chance to "be cool," so he takes it. [/ QUOTE ] What is better? 1) The father who buys his sixteen year old son and his buddies a case of beer and lets them drink in the basement and play some beer pong while he is upstairs, and then offers a ride home for anyone who can't drive. 2) The father who tells his sixteen year old son he cannot drink, and then sits upstairs while his son goes over to his buddies house to drink and then drives back home drunk. The father does not know what is going on, but suspects it. Edited for clarity.

Re: Take a look at what my parents just installed on the computer.
#1, and that shouldn't be illegal. Is #1 illegal though in most states? I've heard that it is from some people, but others have said that if the parents are in the house with the kids then the kids are allowed to drink beer.

#1 [/ QUOTE ] His son will be alive. He, however, will be in jail for contributing to the delinquency when the other kids' parents find out.

Say it's just the kid who wants to have some drinks while watching an NBA game in his basement. The kid obviously won't run and tell the cops. Is there anything illegal about the dad giving him something to drink?

I believe the cops can come right in and as long as you are in YOUR house with YOUR parents they can't do anything about it.
