its the parents fault that teenagers are so messed up. did you know that girl who poisoned her fathers drink was being molested by her father for years! maybe you should be careful about what you say and not be so quick to judge others or be look down on people because they are teenagers.

Lulu: That is because when we were that age we knew there were consequences to our actions (whether they were good or bad)and we worried about getting in trouble. Too many kids these days do whatever they want because they don't worry about getting in trouble. How many times do you hear about something and the defense is well they are only kids? So that makes it all right? They do the crime then figure oh well even if I get caught I am a minor so I won't get in real trouble.

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. It's for moisture protection. Geeze!

I always put a shot of WD40 in my morning coffee, it loosens me up.

We don't need abortion now that we have the Nebraska law...

"Sick of arguments and teenage bad behaviour? In America, some parents have woken up to the fact that, thanks to a loophole in one state's law, they can legally abandon their children there."

jvldude...abortion doesn't change the behavior of these idiots. You have to get to the source of the problem, not just stop it from reproducing.

I don't get teenagers these days... I would never have dreamt (sp?) of doing half the things these children are doing when I was their age.
