Somehow, RWHN doesn't believe he should be held to his own standard.

I wonder why that is?  What makes HIM different?

This statement is nonsensical.

Bullshit.  I am applying your standard to you with no hyperbole.

You are a bad parent.

It's because alcohol is legal!

If pot had always been legal, RWHN would be yelling about how dangerous (insert other drug here) is and how you can't compare it to pot because that's completely irrelevant.

So what I'm seeing from RWHN is that it has nothing whatsoever to do with "harm", it's entirely about legality.

Actually, it's all about punishing poor people.

You know, decry the event in the OP, while supporting the mechanism which allowed it to happen.

But he makes alcohol more accessible to his kids.  That's somehow different.

No, it is about the harm.

Well, HIS kids are middle-class and white. If they got into alcohol it would just be youthful hijinks, not like the diversion and jail time those other kids deserve.

That's the only conclusion I can come to, based on his "alcohol is okay and also demonstrably more harmful" stance.

Nephew Twiddleton

Just to point out the logical conclusion that Roger hit upon-

Because of both of my parents there was never any lack of alcohol in the house. I never imbibed alcohol until I was 17 and out of state. I never imbibed any of dad's or mom's alcohol. Mom shared a bottle of wine with me on my 18th birthday (since 18 was the legal age when she was 18, and figured if I can die for my country and vote for politicians, I can drink in her house), but that was more or less it. My parents didn't increase my access. Matter of fact, almost all of my alcohol and drug consumption between 17 and 21 was entirely away from them. Cause, you know, I figured if I drank their shit they would notice.

My kids are at absolutely no risk, ergo, you are incorrect good sir.

Right, because you're Superdad, as you like to point out every time you're not mentioning that you have sex with whomever you're dating at the moment or pointing out that somehow our tax dollars are making you more comfortable.
