How much personal responsibility should we expect children to have? Genuine question. Because there was a time where some people believed that it was ok for kids to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes.

This is what parents are for.

  • In that case, maybe we don’t need to card people anymore at the liquor store. If underage kids happen to buy, that’s the parents’ fault.

    • That's probably a good idea. That law never really did anything anyway, kids have never had problems getting their hands on alcohol

  • This is what the whole society is for, why singling out this aspect of behavior?

    Education? Safety? Environment? Justice? Is this not also, then, what parents are for?
