BL - What I was trying to achieve was to diffuse the situation and try to cool down a few members over what appeared "to me" just a bunch of kid (intoxicated, having social issues, or plainly bored, whatever) flipping a few smart Cars. Initially leaving the part about you or someone else (potential) unfortunate financial situation completely way (wayyy) far out of the scope.
What if this have happened to your car one asked. Fair enough comment but it did not happen to me or you.
I didn't meant that I'm cool with going flipping everybody's cars in the world. I see some took it that way, fragile little things lol. What I was trying to mean was as long as nobody got hurt in case "alone", therefore some (members) might be better to laugh at a car news like this instead of going on about shooting kids, ruining their future by putting them in prison, or what else some nasty person would think about doing to a harmless (again, in this case alone) troubled KID for just a STUPID CAR STORY.
That part just didn't made sense to me so I jumped in and stupidly try the "Hey super kewl here mouah ha er ha, nothing worse than other problems we have to deal before this one, carry on" IDIOT comment.
Without thinking that few obviously seen it as if "it just happened to themselves".
I'll never forgive Jamesp for saying this at first place but still love him for his ingenuity and absolutely fascinating engineering skills. I really had a massive sense of humor failure when I first saw his post and some of others (early morning I think). I went completely fizzy.
I really had to try everything I could JUST to try to SELL the idea that we should be cool with kids, no matter what they do or cause to a society (or to a car forum crow, clearly)
sorry it didn't worked out, truly sorry actually
PS: went as far as throwing my dog pooh story. what a f^%$&&g jerk I am

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.

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

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

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.
