It would be the responsible thing to do, set an example, and keep him money.

You're high right now, aren't you?

Charles Barkely has soemthing for the Idiotic Role Model statement:

Parents blaming Football or Michael Phelps for how their kid turns out, are no different than the hand out mentallity that is reinforced with idiotic social policies. YOU (as the Parent) are responsible for your kid not Michael Phelps.

Jennifer Capriati

Amid mounting pressures to live up to the expectations placed on her, and a first round loss to Leila Meskhi at the 1993 US Open, Capriati took a break from competitive tennis in late 1993. She soon ran into personal and legal troubles. She was involved in a shoplifting (a ring, that was worth $35) incident in December 1993, and in May 1994 was arrested for marijuana possession. In November 1994, Capriati attempted a return to the tour at a tournament in Philadelphia. The return lasted just one match, losing to Anke Huber in the first round. After that, she did not play on the tour for 15 months. Her arrests and associated mugshot made her "the poster child for burned-out sports prodigies," to quote the Chicago Sun-Times.[3] [4]

Big deal, Michael Phelps is holding a bong to his mouth, I don't see any smoke so... Ol' Sheriff Buford T. Justice is going to get his feelings hurt if he tries to bring up charges based on what, a picture and "eyewitness" accounts? I'm SURE that someone could work a little PhotoShop magic and gin up a pic of the good sheriff with Drago the wonder donkey going full blast in a smoked filled back room of a Tijuana midget hermaphrodite strip club.

And hey, where can you buy a bong for smoking weed? I think he was smoking tobacco... Obama smokes too!

While there have been no documented cases of marijuana being the primary cause of death, it has been linked to hundreds of deaths as a secondary or contributing factor. So play you stat games, but you are full of crap and must know it because you did the research.

There have been independent studies of UFO's and ghosts...

That doesn't make them true.

For every study that you can produce there can be a counter study showing the exact opposite.

Of course, not all of these kids will be able to work out 6 to 8 hours a day and have world class trainers, equipment and facilities. But you hit on the head. Phelps can do it and achieve, so therefore everyone can! You are a knuckledrager!

Hey!

Why not drink alcohol?

There are so many commercials on TV selling it! You too can be another statistic and kill or be killed drinking and driving.

Hey my role model just got popped for DUI!

It's the in thing to do!

Its kind of hard to explain to your kids, "Hey drugs are bad, it will cause problems, makes you lose brain cells, makes you lazy". When the fact is, we've had the Highest office in the land held by Persons who partook, Athelets and Celebrities a plenty who excelled at their career and embibed. They counter the notion that Drugs are anything different than Alchohol and Cigarrettes (which are more harmful) that are legal.

But continue to make up silly word games on peoples nicknames, since you cant make a point that makes sense, maybe you at least be a source of amusement.

Exactly.

I think alcohol abuse is much more harmful to one's self than marijuana. But, we sell that by the gallons. People are killed everyday because of drinking and driving.

I've never heard of a man beating his wife and kids because he was stoned...
