A Controversial, Yet Thought Provoking Topic...

[KID ROCK1]

Lets say you have an eleven year old son or daughter and one day out of the blue your precious, innocent child who you love with all your heart and raised with religious values to love thy fellow man all of a sudden...

Did you parents stop loveing you after you did that? I guess that's your excuse for th e way you are.

wow, what a disturbing topic.......

Of course, you couldn't help but still love your child, I think. Flesh of your flesh and all that. But I would be completely and utterly mortified, and feel that I didn't do my role as parent well enough. It's my personal belief that yes, although kids do have their own mind about some things, more time than often they don't receive the attention that children do deserve in this day and age. With the cost of living being what may, it forces a lot of parents to go to work at the same time, leaving the child in the hands of a day care or babysitter. So to compensate, it's a parent's responsablility to keep a close eye on their children, hard though it may be.

But then, who am I to talk? I have no kids.

And I have no idea what I would say or do to console the parents of the other children taken from them by my child. Here's hoping I never have to find out

You're my bitch. Post again about how you're being attacked even though you didn't say anything bad.

Post.

Post.

Dance for me Monkey Boy.

Mu-haha.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Dance...dance...dance....come on....you can do it....Hey AJ? Turn the organ grinder faster willya'? Post...post...post...post...you know you want to...

*Snidely Whiplash laugh* Mu-haha.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

He's thinking "Okay. I post about how I didn't say anything bad and that they're all paying attention to me and flaming me for no reason and they're all losers and this lust makes me laugh. Yeah! That's the ticket! I'm soooooooooo clever. Tee-hee."

Dance...dance...do it....

I would still love the kid
but
i would recognize s/he needed help i couldn't begin to offer and so i would turn that child over to the authorities. I'd stand with my child, emotionally and physically, throughout the hard days to come, though horrified by the actions s/he took that resulted in the deaths of other women's children.



A side note:
Why don't people let other people make mistakes and then come back from those mistakes, wiser and stronger?

Yes, i'm talking about treating some of the more scorned Lit members as dirt forever vs. allowing them a time away - a time out to reflect on misdeeds, so to speak - and then allowing them back, perhaps not with open arms but under a term of probation, perhaps, where we all hope that person has changed their ways?

Why are we so hostile and ready to cast an asshole flamer troll into that role forever - even if it seems obvious that person *wants* to be noticed for the positive changes s/he's made?

Is there no redemption, ever, at Lit for bad guys?

I hate the thought that we're so intolerant.



Addendum:
DCL? Are you saying that KidRock1 = AJ? I'm way out of such loops, of course, but even that one is a stunner to me. Are you sure?

If so... dammit AJ. Pick one nick and use it consistently. This flipping around in nicks you do is both undignified and dishonest. It also hurts your credibility with people like me.

I'm Ignoring All Venom Spewers...

This is a rather deep topic to discuss and not something that any parents could possibly prepare themselves for but the fact of the matter is that parents do go thru this and I couldn't imagine having to look at my son behind bars for capital murder against fellow students and friends...

If this were to happen to my son/daughter...

What would I do...Does crying count as a first reaction...

How would I feel...Stunned, numb, in disbelief, trying to wake up from a bad dream...

Who would I call first...Either my wife/exwife or an attorney...

What would I say to the other families...I guess "i'm sorry" would be a good start but in all honesty I would prolly be at a loss for words...

Would I blame myself...Absolutely not...All one can do as a parent is raise their children with morals and principles, and faith in a higher being, but if thats still not enough to keep a child from killing kids in school then its a problem that lies within the child that I had no control over...

Would I still love my child...You damn well better believe it...

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Well done Koko. Now rest.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Come on. Be "real" some more...

This is the point where your hypothetical differs from the reality we've seen played over and over again. Many of the parents of these adolescent killers did not instill their children with morals and principles and demonstrated absolutely no control or discipline over their children. I remember reading that the bedrooms of the Columbine killers were littered with ammunition, guns, plans for the massacre, and paraphenalia for bombs. Simply walking into their rooms would have alerted any half conscious parent that something was wrong with Junior.

I uh

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

LOL

He has no intention of actually discussing the topic. He was hoping someone would flame him so he could say "See! I didn't even do anything! Losers!"

But now if he does the switcher-oo he's Monkey-boy. So all he can do is keep pretending that he's truly interested in the topic.

But he's itching. I can feel him.

Come on...just one little twirl....?
