Just a place to rant...

After reading some comments on a article regarding a teenager and their possible role in a devastating situation, a lot of people comments are upset at other people for putting any blame on the teen because the teen is a child. Now I understand what the people mean, but this has been on my mind for some time. Where does one draw the line with what a child should be responsible for? Throughout most of human history teens have lead armies and been a major part of building (or destroying) empires, yet in today's thinking they are considered virtually helpless and unable to handle "harsh" realities because they are afterall only children. Seems to be a schism in what's really true.

Completely unrelated.


All I see is more stuff that allow one group of people to feel justified in acting like complete asswipes towards another group of people. Like we haven't seen that scenario play out 1,000 times throughout human history. People do not learn.

When you are old enough to tell right from wrong, you are old enough to take responsibility for your actions.

I'm watching to see how this particular case turns out, it's getting stranger. At this point I can't fully side with the teen, but I feel for them.

:nod: I'll have to agree. I want to blunt but Chappelle pretty much summed it up.

You know this whole GoT or rather FaI thing is messing with my perception.

Why do people who have problems with not being said hi never say hi themselves? Power issues?

Our computer system is screwing up way more than usually and it's totally jacking up my stuff, which is costing me 10x more work, which is just about to pluck my last nerve. AND IT AIN'T FRIDAY.

Tedious stuff on top of more tedious stuff on top of more tedious which seem to only breed more tedious stuff. Something's wrong here but I can't say what it is, but it is.

It irks me when folks walking towards you stare at you in the eyes but never say hello. I mean what the fuck is up with that? Why are you even looking at me like you want to speak but you never do? Then when you do speak, they keep on walking but still stare? Urgh!

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I pretty much give them one simple hi once, then depending on their reaction, I general ignore them afterwards, i don't know if it's some kind of power play, an insecurity issue or what, I just know I'm not a mind reader and they've got a tongue.
