so your telling me, you where never an 18 year old who thought about sex, drinking, wanking and isn't every 18 year old view on woman basically the same?(assuming your a male of course). it's all the things that go through a young man's head at that age. Least he is up front about it and lets be honest about it, if there was cameras on front of every 16/17/18/19/20/21 year old lad in Britain, Ireland, France, everywhere, the would just be the same as Frankie Cocozza.

I am presuming that you are a lot older than Frankie (sorry if I'm wrong) but this just seems to come across as older people slamming young people for who the adults where when they where younger. For example, Parents, say 35 years old and above, have this incredible urge to strike youngsters down, saying that all they do is drink, do drugs etc.. It's only since newspapers and media in general have become widely available that these views have come across.It was the exact same scenario in the 50's/60's/70's, just not everybody knew that everyone else was doing it because of the lack of media coverage. My parents are just over 60 and the have admitted doing drugs in there teens and twenties, drinking and fooling around. Your only young once, people learn, my parents raised me exceptionally well, they had good jobs and enjoyed they years when they where free to do what they wanted.

Stop everyone taking your anger and hatred out on one person because you think he is a waster or what have ya. Kids will be kids and he will soon cop on that it's not all sex, drugs and getting hammered.

Sorry I got carried away a bit!! haa
