3E8 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 First.. I didn't call you s***. I called your comments stupid. If you're going to quote me.. get it right. Second.. obvious to anyone above a 2nd grade reading level you have no interest in this topic, as stated.. so why are you bothering to comment? YAS apparently has a strong stance and took offense at your ignorant COMMENTS - and shared by others on the board might I add - and rather than remove yourself from a topic you have no use for, as stated, you continue to make stupid COMMENTS about s*** you don't know about - seeing as how you're not a parent, as stated. Finally.. I'm estatic our opinions differ on this matter. I'd be ashamed to blame a victim or their family for any crime committed against them. It's pretty pathetic, IMO. Man, you'd think I had claimed to be a proctologist somewhere in this thread. Steff and YAS keep telling me I don't know s***. Even though you two out-age me by more years than I'd like to know, I'll be mature and remove myself from any and all future posts in here. I'm sure the discussion will be better off with the combined insight of the poignant parental powerhouse that is Steff and YAS. :rolly :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Both sides have valid points: 3E8 isn't as old as many of the posters here. Neither am I. We, I am assuming, don't have any experience raising children. But, people our age arn't hidden from society. Many have younger siblings, and I know how I would feel if this kind of thing had happen to my little sis whom I am very, very close to. Also, advocating violence is never the right thing to do. I commend the mother for not doing anything violent. God will have his day with Imre. On the other hand, I don't think there is a need to ask why something along these lines was brought to the board. I feel this is a bigger issue (as I am sure it happens alot more often than many of us would imagine) than alot of other things which is posted on here. I understand someone asking why it's here, but I do feel it is newsworthy for here. One last thing. I like to see the differing opinions, but I just don't see a need to prove any point with foul language and so on. I find it harder to agree with one point of view when people are more interested in bringing down the other person (for lack of better words).

Nice post Steve.. and I totaly agree regarding the points made. But I stand by my belief that his comments were ignorant. How can someone who hasn't walked a mile in the shoes of someone in this situation possibly have any clue as to the circumstances behind it. To blame the parents.. that's like blaming a rape victim for being raped, or a shooting victim for being shot. I'll be the first to admit I have no idea what any of the parties are dealing with.. but I certiantly wouldn't lay the blame on the parents of the young boy. IMO that is just plain stupid.

Oh, I agree with you on the fact the parent of the boy are not at blame. The biggest thing I am worried about in this case, though, is the young boy. I just hope he is not too deeply effected by the trials and tribulations he has faced. I cannot help but feel for the family of the young boy and wish them the best.

YASNY Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 3E8 --- I apologize. I overreacted. That comment got all over me when I read it. That having been said, you still have no clue as to what it means to be a parent and therefore are in no position to judge anyone on that matter. Steff --- Thanks for taking my back, but I did jump the young man's s*** a bit too emphatically. He didn't deserve what I dished out. SuperSteve --- I am not an advocate of violence. Not by any stretch of the imagination. If you knew me personally, you'd agree with the above statement, I'm sure. Having said that, there are times when violence is the only answer. Some people do not understand anything else. The saying "A man has to do what a man has to do." applies here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
