(32,354 posts)21. You're saying the police hold parents liable now
...so that is different.
I think it's a different generation of parents now, who are much smarter about the trouble that kids can get into. When I was a teenager I could get away with a lot because my parents weren't paying attention and they trusted me too much. I'm embarrassed to say that I took advantage of it too. I guess I'm lucky I survived.

Not only should he be denied the Supreme Court position, he should be debarred for lying under oath.

In the 80s, boofing meant anal sex - and I think "skis" in his calendar meant cocaine.

I think Kavanaugh was never intended to be made judge. Just who do the R's really want there?
