Parents bring it on themselves. A while back I was ahead of a woman who had
small twins in one of those massive carriers that span an entire aisle
width. I'm checking out, she pulls in and grabs 2 bags of Skittles and
hands them to the toddlers who begin to greedily devour them. I'm sure she
thought she was being a nice mom, maybe rewarding the kids for not making a
scene at the store, whatever. But she's getting her kids hooked on candy at
a very early age and that will haunt her mightily for years to come.

You could tell she was getting her kids addicted by giving each a
bag of candy? You must have been neglected as a kid.

Get a clue, please. Kids are naturally addicted to candy. Maybe
this is a biweekly award for behaving at the store. I would
hardly call that being irresponsible, Jill.


Just watch some adults. They move slowly and expend little effort, with
some major exceptions. They need vegetables, not candy. Watch some
kids. They have to move a lot. That's why they have recesses
frequently at school. They need the candy for energy.

I wouldn't call it an "addiction". It's what they need.

I've been making that point for a long time.

"Read Genesis 19:8 where Lot is willing to have his own
daughters brutally raped. Some *family values*, and he will "bring
them
out to" the mob, since he sees them as his property. Later, these
same
two daughters have sex with him because they consider his right as a
male to have an heir as being more important than their own sexual
integrity. The Bible said that both of them had sex with him on two
successive nights, and that they got him so drunk that he didn't
realize
that he was copulating with his daughters. Yeah, right?!? If he was
THAT drunk, he would never have been able to get it up, much less
climax
inside them. Very implausible story. "
