Putting the "pop" in your soda...

[rventura23]

There is a reason it takes a prescription to acquire these drugs.  They shouldn't be in the hands of children to be used for 'harmless pranks'.  Punishment is defintely called for.

agreed, not a funny prank

[YASNY]

Both of my parents worked, yet I still feel they spent a large amount of their free time with me and my sister.  I feel they did a great job rasing me and making me a successful person.  I still think that you can both work, and still have time to instill values and raise your kids correctly.  But thats just my opinion.

 

I won't argue that point. But then again, I reiterate that it's not easy and that parents have to learn how to parent. Even though you apparently do, I want to express to you to be sure and 'count your blessings'. Sounds like you have a wonderful set of parents ... as do I.

I know those blessings well enough as I have been close to many people who werent in my situation. I really have alot of admiration for good parents in general. It takes alot of work to raise a child, and even more to raise it well.

Im curious where people stand on this sort of situation.  When I was in school, this would be considered a harmless prank.  Nowadays, its gonna be something like distributing pharmaceutical drugs without a license. 

 

Where do you stand?  Harmless Prank or Inexcusable idea that needs to be punished?

This doesn't seem harmless to me. Putting toothpaste in the soda is harmless. Putting hot sauce in the soda is harmless. Putting Viagra or any other drug in the soda is not harmless.

Yes, as well it should.  Of course the parents of the children are at blame as well.  You should be in touch with your kids to know if something is bothering them to the point where they are thinking about shooting other kids.  Also, where did these kids get the guns?

 

Adults pick on other adults in the workplace, on this board, on the street.  Its something they are going to have to deal with through their childhood, in HS, in college, in life.  Its the way of human beings to establish dominance in a social setting.  We all went through it, and none of us shot and anyone, or got shot at.  I think that people are overreacting at a few isolated incidents.

 

I feel for parents who have to worry about crazy kids and their neglegent parents however, and this is not an attack in any way.

Adults pick on other adults at your workplace? That seems kind of strange to me. I mean playing around with someone as long as you can take it when it comes back at you is fine. If you are putting things such as drugs in your coworkers drinks then I think you will be in some trouble.

^^^^^^^^^^

 

I agree with this.

 

But when we were in school, we never would have thought to use viagra or anything of the like. I would have spit in his drink.

Oh absolutley.  I agree with you 100%.  Back when I was that age, I think we would have use gum or dirt or something of that matter.  I believe parents these days want their kids to be extra safe, but do not take the time to actually raise their kids and make sure the kids can be safe themselves.  Coming from a psych backround, I believe alot of the problems in kids today is due to nurturing and parenting. IMO

You would put dirt or chewed gum in someone's drink? WTF?!?!?

Im not condoning the action or saying that I find it funny, at all. I just think that kids were doing equally stupid things when I was that age, and were sent home with detention or suspension for it instead of sending for attorneys. When I was in HS, it was the ex-lax pranks or swirlies or freshman beat-up day(which I am fairly sure was phased out when i became a sophomore). I mean, think about it, in Dazed and Confused the main character of the movie was laughed at by his own teacher when the seniors showed up with their paddles. If that kind of stuff happens today, its hazing and jail-time.

 

I guess I was just pointing out the differences that I noticed, and stirred up the pot as a result.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. I never remember anything happening with drugs, illegal, or prescription, that didn't have higher consequences than this. Ex Lax is over the counter. Hardly the same. Swirlies? That is nothing. Times have changed. Hazing is not allowed anymore. It is actually a good thing because a lot of it was getting to be very very extreme and violent. It was not like how I recalled it being in high school at all.

You disagree with what? Kids werent doing stupid s*** with drugs in your high school? Well, maybe your high school experience was different than mine, but there was a couple of things that happened in the two high schools I attended(West Chicago + Batavia), and many of them involved drugs, illegal and prescription.

 

And when you are saying Hazing isnt allowed anymore, you are agreeing with me. That sort of stuff still happened when I was in high school, and it doesnt happen anymore because kids are taking it one step further nowadays.

 

Sorry that you dont recall your HS being like that, but we all have different experiences.

I disagree that if something was done with drugs, such as tricking someone into eating a pot brownie, and authority figures found out about it that something more than just a detention was the only thing they received. You were going to get into more trouble than just detention. I remember stuff like that and someone getting in a whole lot of trouble for peeing in someone's lemon lime gatorade. Way more than just detention or suspension. That is what I stated. In both instances the kids were expelled from school. Then again I went to a Catholic School.

 

You came up with Ex-Lax and swirlies. That is nothing compared to what this kid did and you were comparing the two. You did so by saying they were "equally as stupid", which is hardly the case and far from the truth. Viagra was originally used and developed as a general blood-pressure lowering drug. This could have different effects on different people.

 

I am agreeing that hazing isn't allowed anymore and for good reason. It kept on getting worse and worse. It didn't stay at the same level it was when I was in H.S.

 

Now do you know what I am saying?

Well, you just pointed out to me the differences in punishment at a catholic and a public school.

 

Junior year we got a liason officer in our high school, so things calmed down a bit, but we were still morons.

Ok, hazing and freshman beat-up day are equally as stupid as slipping someone a boner with a viagra, dont you agree? The kids could both end up in the hospital, no? Does it all come down to medical attention that is needed? Is it not damaging to someones digestive tract to give them an entire bottle of ex-lax? Maybe the kid that was superglued to the toilet junior year could have sued, but he didnt.

 

Like I said before, i am not condoning this kids actions whatsoever, it was stupid and irresponsible and potentially damaging. But there were plenty of times I can recall in high school where kids were doing worse things, and the school authorities would look the other way, or give out detentions or suspension. If I were the parent of the kid slipped the "mickey", I would ask for the school to punish in the fullest possible way, But I wouldnt call my lawyer. Thats just me though. I know how you feel about it, and i dont disagree, I just see it a little different in my own reaction to it.

[southsideirish]

No, I don't. I don't agree in the least. Freshman beat up day, when I was in h.s., never put someone in the hospital. It never went to that extreme or violent. So no I don't agree with you at all. Viagra could give you way more than a boner. Viagra was

originally used and developed as a general blood-pressure lowering drug. This could have different effects on different people.

Ex-Lax is not even in the same league as Viagra, and to answer your question, no it isn't damaging. A swirly is not in the same league either. It is not comparable. I don't agree at all. Maybe's, if's, and's, and buts. A kid in my school also superglued another kid to a bus seat and was suspended for a while. Did he sue? No. It was a different time. Still it is not Viagra. Not comparable. This kid is not suing anyone either, as far as I know.

I can't think of anything that was close to what this kid did without the kids getting expelled. I don't believe this kid's parents got his lawyer involved and if they did it wasn't to sue. I don't see anywhere that states a lawyer is invloved. I would not get a lawyer either, and I never said I did, but the kid should be punished and it is up to the school if the authorities should get involved. I believe dealing with prescription drugs in that manner requires for the authorities to get involved. I could be wrong however.

I dont believe I am right and you are wrong, or vice versa. I just believe we see it different. I know Viagra was initially developed as a blood thinner/heart attack prevention drug, and I know the differences vs ex-lax, but I think the intent is the same in both instances, to humiliate the victim, not really to harm them even though it is possible.

 

To me, I see it as "When I was in high school, people slipped the dork some ex-lax at lunch time" and over just ten years it has changed to Viagra, similar to what hazing and freshman beatup day were when I was in HS(beat the kids rear until he was purple) changing to that debacle with the powder puffs girls football a few years ago where the girls were just getting beat down period.

 

This discussion would have an entirely different feel if the kid had actually consumed the drug, Im sure.

I agree. Now if it were Spanish Fly, I'd by laughing my ass off.

 

For the record, see potential side effects of Viagra. I would definitely say slipping into the drink of a 15-yr old is not on the same level as a prank. Stick to itching powder or putting a passed out guy's hand in warm water.

 

What are the possible side effects of sildenafil?

•  If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking sildenafil and seek emergency medical attention or notify your doctor immediately:

      · an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);

      · chest pain or an irregular heartbeat;

      · swelling of the ankles or legs;

      · shortness of breath;

      · prolonged or severe dizziness;

      · a prolonged (lasting longer than 4 hours) or painful erection; or

      · dizziness, nausea, or angina (pain, tightness, discomfort, numbness, or tingling in the chest, arms, neck, or jaw).

•  Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take sildenafil and talk to your doctor if you experience

      · flushing;

      · mild dizziness;

      · headache;

      · nasal congestion;

      · diarrhea;

      · temporary blue tint in vision or other vision abnormalities; or

      · itching or a rash.

•  Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Spitting must be one of the dirtiest things someone can do to another person. You didn't spit at or on someone but gave someone a drink with your spit in it. Very dirty. I thnk this is one of the first things you learn as a child, about how nasty and dirty that is. Very dirty, very nasty.

Is this a personal attack? To answer your question, no. I have never had anything like that done to me. I would play tricks on people such as a pin on chair, or pepper or hot sauce in a drink, but never something as nasty as spit or urine. You are taught how nasty that is at a very young age. I just can't believe kids actually spit in another's drink when I learned at such a young age how nasty and dirty that is. Whoever did that should be very ashamed.
