You'd say the same if your 17-year-old daughter was dating a drug dealer?[/quote]

DP. This isn't an equivalent scenario at all because I see nothing in the OP that indicates concern that the girlfriend is dealing drugs. If my kid of any gender was a close associate of someone I had reason to believe was engaging in illegal behavior, we would be having a very serious conversation about the potential consequences of continuing a close friendship or dating relationship with someone doing something that could result in criminal convictions. If my 16+ year old kid of any gender is dating someone who doesn't have red flags for abusive or illegal behavior, I would pretty much mind my own business even if I didn't like the person.[/quote]

Unmotivated girls who don't leave town for university are party girl losers; at 18 it's illegal to drink, so I guess she does fit the bill of engaging in illegal behavior.[/quote]

You just make up all sorts of sh!t, don't you?[/quote]
