(21,020 posts)agree, and especially if there was absolutely nothing IN the pipe to begin with.
How the hell do people take a thread of a story and weave such complicated horror stories with absolutely no proof whatsoever?
So...let's see...
He's arrested, put into a jail cell with hardened criminals and in the course of 12 hours or however long it takes for him to be processed and bailed out, he's sodomized 70 times by 10 toothless Bubbas, who also manage to teach him how to crack open safes and drive getaway cars.
After getting out of jail, he tries to get into college but is thrown out on his ass, after which he takes up with a woman named Nasty Nell and together the two of them wreak havoc across the country raping and pillaging and murdering the innocent citizens of our country.
He is caught in Texas, where he's executed by the state by a guy wielding a dull pizza knife.
Because some guy ratted on him twenty years before.
The End.
Or...maybe the kid has a problem, or is on the verge of having a problem that his parents aren't aware of, and they are good parents who get the kid into treatment before he fucks his life up (and the lives of all his family members) by killing himself with drugs. People might know, or know OF someone who did just fine even though they took drugs, but that doesn't always work out for everybody.
Either way is a possibility, I suppose.
It's just too bad people choose to shame someone based on assumptions rather than fact.
