It looks like you cant place limits on your children or they will kill you...The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

DZJ 0 #2 March 2, 2008 Probably not enough information in that story to say anything with any great confidence, but I'd imagine there was probably at least as much wrong with the family as a whole as with 'the youth'; your average family argument doesn't end with 3 murders and an attempted 4th.

NWFlyer 2 #3 March 2, 2008 But, but, but, this is Speakers' Corner, I could just as easily take that article and rail against Christianity ... after all, the family friend quoted in the article said "they were good Christian people." Therefore, of course, I can make the argument that this is how Christians solve their problems. Clearly then, the title of the thread should be "WTF is wrong with today's Christians?"At least, I think that's how the discourse is s'posed to go in here. Let me know if I'm supposed to actually, like, make cogent arguments or something. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

NWFlyer 2 #8 March 2, 2008 Quote Yes yes, but the real question is was it Clinton's fault in the first place? Clearly. I was trying to figure out a way to blame Bush since it took place in Texas and as we know, Bush once was Governor of that great state. But the daughter (the errant youth in question) is 16, which means she was likely born in 1992... also the year that Clinton was first elected. Coincidence?

434 2 #10 March 3, 2008 Can happen in the best families! I wonder if this happens in other countries as America? We only hear about the school shooting, and serial killers in USA regulary. Not so often from other countries! Maybe you should ask what is so wrong with America, since there is so much killings and hate going on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
