Bill Clinton smoked pot but didn't inhale, didn't say it was wrong but laughed about it so now kids think it's OK to smoke pot.
Bill Clinton got a BJ in the Oval Office, he said it wasn't sex, his wife didn't leave him so now kids think it's OK to give/receive BJs and that it's OK to cheat on your spouse.
Bill Clinton dodged the draft so everyone thinks it's no one's responsibility to fight for our country.
An old woman spills a hot coffee on her lap at a drive thru, burns herself, sues and now everyone thinks that if you want something, sue for it.
Abortions were made legal so women don't have to think about the consequences of unprotected sex so they just whore around and if they get pregnant, oh well, just have an abortion.
