That should be put away for the rest of their natural life. Our brains are like computers. You don't leave a shitty problematic computer in service at air traffic control and we shouldn't let malfunctioning psychos run around freely. Common sense.
It's not hitting. You dont punch your kid. Not being able to tell the difference between hitting and correcting is the problem. Liberals dont get what they want and they throw a fit. See the recent government shut down. This behaviour is a result of not having a black grandma to slap the shit out of you when you threw a fit in the store when they told you no candy.
You prefer unorganized religion?
I agree he should be put away. He should also have had access to mental care. This country is not addressing the root of the problems. He's not a nut job. He's a boy who has a severe mental illness, either caused by trauma or just born that way.
Maybe. At what point in medical advancement could society trust a kid like that? You could get every current expert to say he's cured and I still wouldn't let him out.
Nor would I.
See that's unfortunate you didn't watch it. Because he said if you keep a gun in a gun safe, it's no longer there for your protection. Anybody breaking into your house to "kill" you wouldn't let you take the time to go unlock the safe and get it. It actually was funny. He also said they need to change the name to Protection Rifle and not Assault Rifle.
I've seen it before. Watching it for a political opinion isn't an option.
I spent 12 years in Catholic schools throughout the entire 60’s and early 70’s. We had a lot of religion thrown at us, and while I don’t currently consider myself to be of any particular denomination, the foundation I received has been priceless. We were given structure and discipline the public schools legally weren’t allowed to provide. “Punishment” was only meted out in severe cases and was, almost without exception deserved. And if it didn’t always have the desired effect on the miscreant, it served as ample warning for the rest of the class to behave. In high school the Phys Ed teacher had a wooden paddle he used to smack the (bare!!! Do I qualify for “Me Too”???) butts of the guys who cursed or otherwise misbehaved. It wasn’t the sting of the paddle that kept us in line, it was the humiliation of the punishment (news of which would be throughout the entire school before we had even showered and dressed). And any punishment administered was tacitly approved by the parents, with few if any exceptions. It was considered just another tool in the tool box.
Wow, now I’m confused. As I recall, “under God” was removed from the Pledge late in my grade school years. Yet I can find no reference to support that anywhere. I just remember it was a big deal and we went along with it. Supposedly it had to do with separation of church and state. But I haven’t heard the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance for decades......
From Wiki
We said under God in the 80s and 90s
There is no “fix”. There are just steps to lessen the number of nut jobs who get ahold of guns and steps to lessen the numbers killed when the nut jobs go on a spree. If we have 50% fewer NJ’s getting guns and those that do kill 50% fewer kids, that’s a win although we will still have tragedies.
I worked in a jail. When someone goes to supermax they are allowed hygiene items and guess what? Religious reading material only. Now i get that religious material cant be taken via constitution. But i wonder why prisons and jails want them to read tge stuff. Perhaps, just maybe, when you realize you arent the most powerful being in the universe, you get humbled just a bit. Everyone has a god, for some it's their ego. For some, money.
Why does everyone need to believe in the same shit? Why is religion important to society? You didnt answer the question.
At this point I'm questioning whether you have an answer. It's not important. It's divisive.
Id say liberalism is a pretty major mental ailment.
