• What purpose to dads/fathers serve in life?
  I honestly think you're being way too hard on your dads. I used to feel similarly about my dad when I was your age (both of my parents were very strict, and my father could be quite aggressive at times), but now that I've grown up and learned a few thi...

• People blaming being drunk for their actions?
  I find myself rolling my eyes whenever someone says "but I was really drunk when I did it". It's not like saying that is a 'get out of jail free' card. Mind you, anyone who forgives someone for that kinda excuse, generally deserves what they get- one c...
