allthumbs Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Father Flanagan, the renowned founder of Boys Town, opined that he had never met a bad boy. Perhaps the good father did not get around much, for horrible examples of sheer unmotivated malice are more often committed by adolescents than by adults - or so it would appear. To declare that we should withhold capital punishment because the goblin is too young seems unreasonable to me. A creep is a creep is a creep, regardless if whether he is old enough to buy a package of cigarettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthumbs Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 I mean like bashing their father's brains out while he sleeps with a baseball bat. I mean drive by shootings. I mean Columbine. I mean underage snipers. And the list goes on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 If someone found their father sleeping with a baseball bat it might not be unmotivated malice. I suppose it would depend on what the father was doing to/with the baseball bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
