Parents often mistake what they have taught their child when they punish and prohibit. Mostly what they teach them is to not get caught.
There is pedophila, and the posession of military hardware, all around us. I can drive 20 miles from here and buy a hand grenade, for cryin' out loud. We didn't stop anything, just moved it elsewhere.
One can pretend things are not like they are, but the rest of us have to deal with the world as it is.
You ban cigarettes, but 15% of the people are still addictive types. Despite all the hype and all the years of bans, about 15% of the population still smokes. Ban them completely, and they will find something to smoke or inject or swallow while you go off and pat yourself on the back.
Fuck, marijuana was not only banned, but in the rush to purse racist policies, they lied about it and put it on a schedule with heroin. Yet I can buy weed at the junior high across the street.
I find it funny that people believe themselves when they think anyone listens to them as they try to prohibit something. Especially their kids.
With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

You can beat people up, chain them, keep them in jai, shoot them, blow them up, and they will still find a way to do what they want.
If you use education, and THEY decide to stop it, then it will end. Not before.
