33girl is right.

You (generally) should demonstrate your critical thinking abilities by agreeing with her . . at least in principle.

When people use unqualified phrases such as "family values" or "higher standards" etc it conjures different meanings among an audience.

Its a vague statement and a corruption of the use of the English Language when used in debate settings because it leads to communication ambiguities.

At best its often the fall-back of someone being lazy because they know their audience will fill in the meaning for them, each according to his or her tendencies.

At worst its a manipulative technique in a dialogue to create a position thats difficult to assail but is based on a logical fatuity.

Please clarify how the higher standards of any GLO preclude drinking as an acceptable activity?
