I dont even know what to say to this:

Former Sun Richard Dumas: Nancy Reagan’s ‘Just Say No’ campaign ‘got me interested’ in cocaine http://yhoo.it/16Q17YS via @YahooBDL

 

So between Nancy and Ronnie, the drug and AIDs epidemic of the 80's is pretty much their fault. Too funny.

 

It's cause of George Washington that I got addicted to tea and crumpets.

 

I would not put the entire blame on Nancy, but sometimes advertisement whether positive or negative is effective.

 

When I was a kid in school there was a lot of 'drug education' in health class. The teachers spent weeks teaching us about and testing us on all the different pharmacuetical and street drugs, all the slang terms for them, how to identify them, how to take them, dosages, how each drug would make us feel, etc. I'm pretty sure the intent was so we wouldn't use drugs. Once we all became little experts however, everyone pretty much rushed right out and tried everything they could get their hands on -- which was everything. A number of my friends are no longer with us, for one drug related reason or another. I certainly hope they've changed their approach now that my daughters are reaching that age.

 

I blame Greg Oden for me taking selfies in the bathroom.

 

Funny. I've always said the Just Say No campaign has kept me away from drugs. I've always been grateful that I was educated at the right age. I also feel blessed that I discovered my sexuality when the AiDS crisis was well underway and safe sex education was everywhere. Unfortunately, it pretty much made me scared of sex to the point that I really don't have sex at all in my life. I don't give blowjobs or have anal sex which pretty much limits me to getting blown occasionally (not a horrible thing), masturbation, and kissing. My husband and I hardly do anything- just holding each other- which is nice). It's sad but it's better than being dead. How's that for too much information?

 

You nailed it.

 

Addicted to? No. Enslaved by? Seemingly...

 

How generous of you.

 

Sounds like poor parenting to me.

 

I blame racism today on history teachers teaching about slavery.

 

I blame the MADD ads that showed mutilated cars on drunk driving deaths because going that fast while drunk must be fun.

 

Jimmy Carter's fault, no doubt.

 

Sometimes, parents do the best job of parenting that they are aware/capable of doing. Unfortunately, sometimes, that's not enough.
