Last week a 12 year old apparently drank himself in a stupor, as he was just drinking in before going to a party.  |
Funny thing is, there's no age restriction on purchasing PAM and baggies nor is there an age restriction to buying cough medicine which kids can use to get high. At some point, society has to take a stance and not only allow people to make stupid choices but to properly punish them for harming themselves or others for making these choices.
The idea that a game, song lyric, movie, etc., is the reason that someone hurt themselves is completely ludicrous. The day the courts stop listening to this kind of trash and diluting the true focus of the case is the day that society takes a turn for the better.
God gave us free will and the courts are trying to take it away. If given a choice, I'll put my faith in God long before I listen to anything a court has to say.
