13 Year Old Floridian Faces JUDGMENT Day..

An excerpt from Hillary Clinton's book, I've read it a million times:

"Nothing is more important to our shared future than the well-being of children. For children are at our core--not only as vulnerable beings in need of love and care but as a moral touchstone admidst the complexity and contentiousness of modern life. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes children to raise up a village to become all it should be. The village we build with them in mind will be a better place for us all."

Buy Hillary's book at your local bookstore............

they should just execute little shits like this. put a bullet in his head right outside the courtroom.

Amen. I hafta disagree with the guy who said he could go on to live a good life. If at 13 you're too ignorant and immature to know not to kill your teacher...thats absolutely ridiculous and the world doesn't need pricks like this

As Hillary Clinton said, "It does take a village" to raise our children to become better citizens...

This is what disgusts me w/ society today. Everyone is trying to blame everyone for their shortcomings or their mistakes. I am utterly disgusted w/ the way people act. They think they can do whatever they please and when it goes sour just say "Oh well it wasn't my fault".

Whoever thinks that it takes a village to raise a child shouldn't have children. It takes 2 frigging parents to raise a child. It is not my responsibility to raise someone else's kid. If you don't want the responsibility then don't have sex. Plain and simple. Noone ever got pregnant by getting themselves off.

Ryan: "We see what parental rights has given us: murdered and abused children. The government must play a more active role in the rearing of children since many parents seem incapable of doing an adequate job of raising their children."

I'm a liberal, and not even I believe the above statement. I don't need incompetent bureucrats telling me how to raise my child. And I don't think that a single person could possibly point to any child protective agency in the nation and say, with a straight face, that they are doing even a passable job.

Ryan, get a grip. You were doing well on this thread up until your past two posts IMHO.

BigPhysics: As usual, you are searching for facts that do not exist. Show us proof that punishment is superior to rehabilitation as a way of dealing with crime. I bet you cannot. Again, look at drug abuse as a prime example of why punishment doesn't work.

CHILDREN: Of course, parents have an absolute right in the rearing of children, but many parents do not do what is best for his or her child. For example, many Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions for their children, b/c it goes against their religious faith. Yet, the government continously steps-in and saves those children from certain death.

The government acts again and again whenever necessary to protect children. This action should not change. Many parents are failing miserably at raising their children. For instance, the mother who killed all 5 of children probably killed her kids b/c she was overwhelmed with her responsbilities----she needed a village. Instead, she got an absent husband and sheer loneliness.

I'm all for the individual, but society was much more successful when we, in fact, behaved as if we were a village....It does take a village..........
