Reply #120: Way Too Extreme... [View All]

Cheers for taking no prisoners on the subject of drinking and driving, however, there is such a thing as being too extreme. How much you wanna bet in her youth she went out drinking and partying? This seems like not just punishing a possible drinking and driving matter, but, an extreme case of do as I say and not as I do (or have done)...

Here's a problem I've noticed quite a bit from compared to back when I was a youth. So many places and activities are no longer available for youths to go to and socialize with each other, that, inevitably they find something to occupy their time. Unfortunately, being youths that usually means something dangerous to themselves or others. Ergo, in this case, if she permanently removes his mode of transportation, he'll end up getting one on his own which will probably be much less safer. I am assuming that since he's 19 and she's selling his car that the car is probably in her name.

Close down parks and other hangouts (at night) easily monitored by police and the youths will find somewhere else to hangout, and, usually its a less safe area.

Clamp down hard on youths drinking or using soft drugs like Pot, and they'll find something else to get into, and, almost certainly it will be a far less safer something.

etc, etc,...
