On a serious note I honestly don't think that democracy is working for us anymore. We aren't educated enough to make it work. I think in order to vote you should need to take a test that proves you know at least how an economy works. We live in a time where people honestly believe there are only two parties and they think two people from the same party have the exact same values. I had a lot of hope for our country before Trump attained popularity. My brother-in-law just recently went to Europe and everyone was asking him what the hell is going on in our country. I'm pretty ashamed of all of this.

I'm with Coliver - this isn't really funny. Not that I'm a Trump lover or anything.. it's more childish than anything.

I'm not trying to sway you guys, you have your own sense of humor but I think that is sort of the point

"Oh %$^& I'm pregnant at 15" is news to scare enough people from wanting to shack up.

Pretty much that and the awareness of STDs wasn't as prominent in previous generations.

What is odd is that talk of STDs was like all that there was in the 1980s. Today it has gone away mostly.

Exactly. Remember when HIV was a death sentence? That was scary.

Really? It is taught comprehensively in middle and high school in NY. I guess we don't have the news stories about AIDs that were constant during the 80s though.

Apparently teen use of Marijuana has gone down after legalization in Colorado. Granted it is a survey so the results can be a bit skewed.

@coliver It's legal now... No need to do it under the bleachers after school.
Edit: Now they can openly do it in the bathrooms during lunch.

It was one of the big arguments against legalization though, selling it legally would lead to rampant and widespread use...

I find it hard to believe it would go down, after all, alcohol consumption went down amongst young people in the 1970s and 1980s in America because of the end of prohibition... oh wait it didn't.
Let's forget that and focus on one thing, it's a self-reported survey, and according to this, 6.4% females obese, 13.2% males... in America?

That's what was always expected since that has been mirrored everywhere in the world.

There really aren't any valid arguments against legalization.

I'd say more than a bit on those "yeah I'm totally not fat you guys" questions
Further:
Four out of five Colorado high school students have not used marijuana in the last 30 days, a rate
that remains relatively unchanged since 2013. Colorado does not significantly differ from the
national average in lifetime or current marijuana use (Figure 4a).Basically not different, seems vastly different "gone down", that seems more like confirmation bias in a way. If it hasn't really changed it's not statically different, especially if it's within the margin of error.
