man, you bet. Not hating anyone - except for james a little :p

No, this isn't it at all. There's a larger issue here which you don't seem to grasp. As members of a society, when we condone and encourage stupidity and bad behavior, we all are diminished in a small way, and society suffers. Over time it adds up.

That's why the comments "cool," "hysterical," and "FUNNY" are bothersome to some of us. You are focusing on a single act and not its broader implications.

It would be best if this thread were shut down, and Nine8Six, you really would be doing yourself a favor if you were to stop commenting on this topic. Seriously.

Wow, such hostility. I guess the good old agree to disagree no longer is in use. I do not generally agree with nine8six on this whole thread. However, I like to think I will not let it affect my time spent on this forum. It is his opinion. 1st amendment and all.

I did get a good laugh when I saw the picture though I guess I am a full supporter of social deviance.


Definition:

Forum - a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

(Caveat: people will still ostracize you for going against perceived or actual norm.)

Sorry if my comment seemed harsh or hostile, but he digs himself deeper with every comment. As they say, "just my opinion."

The nine8six solution:

1. catch the kids
2. parents to pay damages and compensations
3. request for public apologies made to the community from those kids/parents. Asking for motives and reassurance this won't happen again.
4. Give them 100hrs of forced communuty services
5. A good dad's life lessons (yup, ouch)
6. Good laught about it later and move on

Some other solution (thanksfully not everyone's solution):

1. Catch the kids, or just shoot them during the act
2. Put them straight in prison with real criminals to learn from
3. Shut down related discussions, censor people differences
4. Nothing happened, let's all move on without that kid

That's where I'm was completely lost. Sorry that my differences have offended some or alinated others.

The end for me on that topic

Ummm, it's not that it "just" happened to ourselves, rather, if it happens to my neighbor, I may be next. What's to stop those bored kids, right? So, we should not imagine this can happen to us, but you can imagine this was bored or drunk or AAA battery-challenged kids??

What is your fascination with this being an act of teenagers or kids? Just as you say it didn't happen to us, you were not there and it may have been a group of 50 year olds. How would you or I know?

And dude, get over the completely stupid "shoot kids" line. It's very uneducated. I may confront someone while armed, but for f__ks sakes! I'm not going to set up sniper style in my back room window and take them out like I do rats! Or maybe bind their hands at gunpoint and do the back of head execution thing? Oh, the drama.....imagine the possibilities!

Never forgive another member for having an opinion? I have not forgiven you for saying stupid things regarding this topic because that's the difference between left & right politics, and you are entitled to your (absurd) opinion, so there's nothing worthy of forgiving.

Kids, kids, kids, kids, kids. You have no clue. Shoot them during the act? There's something very wrong with you.

986, you and I are from very different cultures and we can learn a lot from one another. First off, (my bias) there should be no reason to have to forgive anyone for telling you about a culture outside your perceptions of your norm. And (from my cultural bias) never forgiving shows a character weakness that deserves nothing less than pity, but I don't think you say those words with the same meaning that I would say them. Forgiving and moving on increases strength of character in the one doing the forgiving. Texas is Texas, we Texans are mainly friendly and polite to everyone. I'm exactly the kind of person you want to see coming if you have a flat tire, if you waive me over you have a ride or I'd change your tire if you couldn't. I'm also a soft touch, when someone is clearly hungry I'll feed them if I can. I gave an elderly gentleman $20 last week because he looked, and said he was hungry, and that was the only cash I had in my wallet. And still I shoot the "children" (well, not personally), a riddle here to be sure. The chances of me harming anyone, or not helping them when they need it is practically nil. On hate, again a cultural bias is working here. To me, that's a big deal. I believe no one should hate anyone, and as it leads down a very dark road. I was taught to love, not hate. Love means everyone including the jerk who just cut me off in traffic, (and the "children").

So my bias is don't hate, even a little. 986 I don't have anything to forgive you for as I take no offense to you expressing a cultural bias (flipping cars is funny) even though (and you and other may chuckle here) I think it exemplifies an entitlement attitude that is damaging to society. That's ok, I may not agree with it, but I defend your right to say it. And even though I find that attitude wrong in the extreme, there's no reason to not forgive or hate because of it. I prefer to learn through our differences. If you ever come to Houston look me up and we'll go to the gun range, you tend to meet really nice folks there. Nothing like living in a culture to understand it.

And your headlights look awesome, DOT sticker or not. :cheers:

Of course I don't "hate" you, James. Keep sharing the great work you do.

OK, everybody..........all together now.

What would Johnny Danger Do?

You'll put your eye out!

See, cultural clash again

You really don't get it do you, James. I shoot from the waist. Picked up the technique from a cowboy movie I've watched when I was nine, eight or six years old. Can't really remember.

See you at the range... (pfffff!)

That should buff right out....
