At what point did I EVER call it ok? I NEVER said that. Thanks for assuming. All I said was that it was not violence. That is a fundamentaly different statement. Calling non violent but offensive actions violence downplays the seriousness of actual violence and puts it on the same level. You’re not helping anyone by…

Actually if you study the history books that’s not the case that they are usually the first targets. Homosexuals are usually targeted after the party in question obtains enough power. Usually there are other populations scapegoated as a means of gaining that power to begin with. Like Germany and the jews or russia and…

If you think telling people where to pee is violence you are a fool or a child. I’ve seen violence. This is not

“I made a reasonable assumption based on the recidivism. It’s pretty unlikely they’d keep offending if offered real help.”

jews too

7 had them. when cloud pretended to be a soldier at junon for example

I have compassion. It was a tragedy to be sure. But be realistic. Blaming others unjustly helps no one. It certainly makes things worse. The stupidity of most teens is not severe enough to get most teens out of grand theft auto. I see no reason why that argument should hold here but not with millions of other teens.…

“And if nothing the courts did helped modify their behavior, than that’s as good as ignoring it”

You are comparing apples to oranges. Foster homes are a completely different issue. The state does not have the authority nor the responsibility to inervene with parents who are simply bad parents excepting when the basic necessities of life are not met. These kids had parents, they had guardians. Therefore it was the…

I NEVER said they were full adults. I said 16 is old enough to know not to steal cars 8 times and to expect consequences for doing so. If we saw this behavior from most teenagers you might have had an argument. But we don’t so your point is invalid. 16 year olds are stupid but they are smart enough to know better then…

Absolute horseshit. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT the responsibility of the state to make up for bad parenting. 16 is absolutely old enough to be expected to be responsible for one’s actions. they are not 6. Not 50 years ago they would have been 2 years away from being old enough to go to war and have families. Stop coddling…

how did the justice system fail? they got their convictions for their previous offenses. they CHOSE not to heed and shape up. they chose to continue to commit crimes. I fail to see how the justice system failed them

“it’s their fault” does not equal “ they deserved it”

bullcrap. . they knew exactly what they were doing. they’d done it before

It’s not that they are underpaid. It’s that the rest of the staff is overpaid. the industry is bloated

Dont be ridiculous. The rest are not being payed with education because they have already completed their educations. And if they are like most people they spent the following ten to 15 years of their careers in debt as a result. Not having to deal with that is an immense boon that you are seriously overlooking.…

Still can’t touch bowie’s famous labyrinth boner

Yeah cus it’s not like they’re getting a free education out of the deal or anything

Bullshit. They basically get free education out of the deal. That is NOT slavery. Comparing the two is absurd and offensive

He’s not defending him. Which you would know I’d you had read the original material and not just the jezebel article
