You should try becoming a part of the community before expecting anyone to do anything serious with any of this.

I'm not naive enough to think that my kids aren't exposed to all kinds of things that I wouldn't want them to know about.

And, while I'm not a fan of illegal drugs and the glamorization of them, I have to say that there is something aesthetically pleasing about a pot leaf. The symmetry of the leaves and the zig-zag edges are pleasing to the eye.

As a father of a teenage daughter this one disturbs me greatly.

I wouldn't want to be associated with putting a someone into that scene.

I was 16 once and it disturbed me!! That poor girl is either completely drunk, or thinks nothing of herself and those guys are jerks for thinking it's funny that she's demeaning herself like that.

okay... off of my soapbox now.

I agree, I am not naive in the least I was a teenager once and I don't plan on sheltering my daughter from these things. I want her to be aware of them and there harmful effects (of course to deter her from ever using, I am such a hypocrite). I am a fan of the "pot" plant once in a while, but I dread the thought of my daughter ever using, weird how that works.

I agree with tofu, having a 5yr old daughter myself... but I started working on this because I felt sorry no one was helping his cause. So I feel I still have to post this



also take heed of what volkswes and the others said... become part of our community, and 9/10 we will help you out

I agree. but not for someone who just shows up and asks us to do so. I think doing something for our real community would be awesome though, kinda like an add 1 thing to the picture contests. But serious.

You tell me how you can do something meaningful...with this.

All I can come up with is to tell her/ I think a her/ to use a toothbrush on that hairy tongue.
