uh oh... Roy Dyson's Bill
- Thread starter smcdem
- Start date
Duh! They're EXACTLY who I think they are! How old do you think my kids are? Do you think they don't have friends? Do you think I haven't spent the last 6 years of my life surrounded by teenagers?
You need to quit school, get a job, get your own home, get married and have children - and do it quickly...while you still know everything!

Many teenagers are responsible to some degree but everyone has lapses in responsibility couple that with inexperience and it turns deadly. Most of the teenage driving tragedys I hear about aren't some dirtbag but someone that gets good grades, participates in after school activities and has a bright future but has one small lapse of judgement. I can see where they are coming from with this bill but its not their place.
Just curious does Roy Dyson have some personal connection to want such a bill? Or he is just sick of teenagers driving down his street with the stereo too loud?
On a slight digression I think that anyone under 18 caught drinking alcohol should loose their drivers liscense.

Might want to examine the habits of your kids then.. as well as their friends.
As someone who was a substitute teacher for half of last year... I found 80% of teenagers to be pretty good kids, and for the most part, responsible considering their age.
Oftentimes... they were even more responsible than their parents.
Your insisting that teenagers are these worldly, responsible, mature beings makes me
Sleuth, no offense, but you have been a substitute teacher for half of a school year - I have been a full-time parent for almost 20 years.

Sleuth as a teacher you would be suprised to find out things about the so called "good kids". Im talking everythign from mass cheating (high school validictorians), seteriods, shoplifting, etc
Yea not just things kids aren't allowed to do but illegal things.

Smalltown I dont think they can include anyone over 18 in this bill since 18 is legally (although usually not mentally) an adult.
SMCDEM It doesnt have anything to do with conservative thought.

Oh please, Small - I don't think we're talking about limiting the driving habits of 18 year olds here. And I don't think we're talking about 16 year olds going off to war.
Sleuth, explain to me how this is going to help if the kid dies or kills someone else?

Not really surprised...
I was a teenager not all that long ago... only 6 years removed from 19.
But before we go blasting our teenagers' behaviors, we might want to look at ourselves.
I seem to remember a NY Eve party not too long ago when several of us, myself included, had a lot more alcohol than was healthy. And I'm willing to wager that not every single person who drove home that night didn't have at least one or two less than an hour before.
