are you the ones who used to smoke pot back in the 60's? my how times have changed. That's the problem... That we did it then has become an excuse for "we can't tell you not to do it." It doesn't matter what we did then....we did a whole bunch of things we were lucky to survive and/or stay out of jail for doing. But somehow, we seem to have conveniently forgotten that although we did all those things, society didn't condone 'em then. So it's become "hypocrasy" to refuse to condone 'em now. The REAL hypocracy is in pretending to have grown up into responsible adults, yet refusing to define right and wrong, then accepting behavior from kids we KNOW to be wrong, and THEN protecting 'em from the consequences of their actions. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/store/custo...0&cat=6&page=1 http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |

And I agree: my god, what the baby boomers have done to this society! THEY were the ones who chose to let daycare warehouse their kids instead of raising 'em themselves...their kids have made the same choice...and now we have a third generation of "warehoused" kids coming up who've had no real "raising," and who are so desperate for any real attention--postive OR negative--from adults that they'll even shoot their schoolmates and teachers to get it. I can do 20 minutes without barely even pausing for breath on what I believe to be the underlying causes and who is to blame...but this isn't the place, so I'll tiptoe quietly out now... -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/store/custo...0&cat=6&page=1 http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |

I am not interested in ruining some kids life just cuz he thinks my
boat is a good place to have a joint with his girlfriend. You need to have a sense of proportion about things. They have been careful not to destroy anything and they havent taken anything. So, it seems to me as if they might be ok kids but simply have poor judgement. Pressing charges would cause far more damage to society than good as long as I can get them to stay off my boat. |

ups.com... I am not interested in ruining some kids life just cuz he thinks my boat is a good place to have a joint with his girlfriend. Instead, you'll let him go on to ruin his own life in a bigger way. Depriving him of the opportunity to learn that actions such as breaking into your boat have consequences and getting the intervention he needs is doing him no favor. -- Roger Long (Former drug counselor and drug program director) |

That's NOT what I said OR even implied...and you know it's not. nice cop out Peggie. moral high ground you do not have. if it takes an entire village to raise a child, what part did you play or are you playing in the creation/maintenance of that village? I chose not to have children, because I could not stay home to raise them. I think my part in "the village" is obvious from my previous comments: if parents can't be bothered to teach their children that actions have consequences, the "village" has to do it. If the "village" won't assume any responsibility either, the "village" has no choice but to accept being victimized...which is apparently what "dbohara" has decided to do. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/store/custo...0&cat=6&page=1 http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |
