Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2005Someone Asked, Why Did You Not Have A Drug Problem, When You Were Growning Up?
The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, ''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?'' I replied: I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed. Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place. ~author unknown~ >The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine >lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and >he asked me a rhetorical question, ''Why didn't we have a drug >problem when you and I were growing up?'' <snip> >and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this >kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed. Are you really advocating beating chidren as a cure for adult use of methamphetamines? If so.. that's a very bad idea --G >>The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine >>lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >If so.. that's a very bad idea Cue Jan to call you a liar. Apologies for belaboring the obvious.

"I was beaten as a child and I turned out to be a responsible adult. Therefore if I beat my children, they will be responsible adults." I'm not saying that I'm an expert in raising children, but most people that claim to be aren't either.

No it was not . The OP suggested that all those old fashioned things we used to do, including beating children, were the reason that methamphetimine addiction was not prevalent in the "good old days" I think tt's a bad idea. Do you think it's a good idea? >>Sophistry on -G's part.

I did read it again and it still recommends beating children ( my understanding of "drug me back to the woodshed.") This is still a very bad idea BTW...

LOL... that's actually quite funny. I've never heard the word 'drug' used like that before. Ann I think the proper term is dragged.
