Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll!

I'll accept rock n' roll, but I will need two more reasons that are morally decent.

What on earth is morally indecent about sex?

sex and drugs are only morally indecent if done right!

Did you ever read the Fu Manchu stories and want to smoke some opium? The stories made it clear it was bad for you but the effects also sounded so cool.

Don't drink. Don't smoke. What do ya do?

Annette Funicello, who is a fine example of 'goody two shoes', described an incident in her autobiography that is relevant. She was in a casino gambling, having a drink and smoking a cigarette. Two ladies came up and expressed how shocked they were that she was doing that. She smiled at them and replied, "I have two kids. You know what else I like to do?"

I confess there have been times when I've started a post at work, gotten dragged off to actually *do* work, and come back a couple hours later, finished the post, and then realized that in the interim 20 people had posted the same thing.

Of course, I said it more eloquently, so I let my post stand.

Wait, there are other posters? I need to use that ignore button a little less often.

What is it with people reading a posted question, ignoring the 78 responses answering the question, and then posting an answer to the question that essentially either repeats what the other 78 have said, or else contradicts what the other 78 have said because the person doesn't really know anything about the subject?

Hey, at least they read the posted question. The ones that really get me are the ones where it is obvious that the person posting didn't even read the original post.
