Can you be more specific? Did I use too many big words?
No, professor, your words are fine. The profundity of your meaning is lacking, but your words are fine.
I agree on some of what you said. I have a 15 year old that I would trust to join the military right now. He’s fully mature and capable enough of getting a job, at least, but most places won’t hire him until he’s 16. It’s ridiculous. He was capable at 14.
And I come down hard on my kids if I think they are bringing trouble to themselves or to me. But kids are not adults. I don’t want my 11 year old or 15 year old being interrogated alone. They need back up there. Heck, I, as an adult, would want that! I would feel intimidated having authority come after me saying what they are going to do to me. I watched a grown adult family member almost get railroaded by the Boulder County Courts here in CO because of anti-male, zero tolerance bias. I can certainly see where a child would be overwhelmed by a situation.
Too cynical by half. I bet the cop feels horrible about this; and so do all of those involved. It would haunt any normal person, and normally cops are normal people, and normally act normally.
OK?
I’m sorry if the idea that everyone is responsible for their actions isn’t profound enough for your nuanced world views.
Sickening
my heart is not broken
That’s right on.
Now we're at the Pee Wee Herman stage I see.
"I know you are but what am I?"
A country especially a pseudo puritanical semi-marxist one can’t survive when 1/3 the population are outrightly criminals or potentially criminal as a result of capricious laws, 1/3 the population are directly or indirectly government employees who are often immure to many laws and the remaining 1/3 of the population is sinking into poverty from trying to support such a system.
Geez...my dad didnt have all of these rules when he was in high school. He could even bring his guns to school
“Since the girl was in on it too are they going to charge her with a felony have her register as a sex offender for life? They might as well ruin two lives.”
Not unless she had a copy of the tape.
Otherwise, she broke no law.
“She is guilty of making child porn too.”
No.
Brilliant reply.
Care to explain how she isn’t just as culpable in making the video as the boy was?
should she return the money he gave her?
Prayers for Corey’s soul and for his parents. Tragic happenings in my opinion.
