That is the only problem. You want to punish their faces off, but them you realize that while the majority of delinquent morons such as these kids are the result of inadequate parenting, there is always the chance that the parent is intending to do good, but the kids is just naturally bad. You can't really distinguish between these two easily, especially in a legal setting, where proving a parent's guilt for disciplinary neglect would be almost impossible.SenorToenails wrote:

I would feel differently if these were preteen kids.
It also seems that people are too quick to blame anything but the kids themselves. Blame ends up on the media.LividBovine wrote:
Not sure, but in some way the culture needs to be changed. It seems that these days parents are quick to blame everything but themselves.
I don't know if they should be directly punished, but the wrath of the community should not necessarily be directed at these kids.
Look at this case-- MySpace is to blame, apparently.
That is always a problem, trying to find where the true blame is. Is it soley on the offending child, on the parents, or some percentage in-between?
Parents have to take responsablity for their kids actions. Period.
I have 3 kids and each one has a different tendancy towards doing the right thing. We have to put a LOT more effort into our 7 year old than the other 2.
Just because someone intends to do good, doesn't mean they actually did good.
How many parents would say they didn't care how their children turned out? Not many. The problem is people in general have gotten used to blaming something else for their own failures. It has to stop.
Not everyone is a good parent naturally. In fact very few are. Just pay attention to families out in public. Watch how the parents interact with their children. It is very disturbing sometimes.
The key point I am trying to make is that parents have a DUTY to do ALL they can raise their children to be good citizens.

I agree that the parents are way less at blame for kids at the age in the story, as opposed to nine-year-olds. Younger kids think less independently, so any violent action was probably more spawned by direct parental influence than in a teenager's actions. That isn't to say, though, parenting does not affect the development of a child. Poor parenting can be blamed partially for the laziness and immaturity of many children. While the teenagers are at a naturally rebellious phase when independent actions and thought become prevalent, it isn't fair to them to blame their poor actions entirely on them--provided, of course, that they were the product of incompetent guardians.SenorToenails wrote:

To edit: You obviously do have to blame the kids; don't get the conception I think they are victims. As I granted, they have independent thought that cannot be entirely altered or negated by poor parenting.

Indeed, indeed. I hate it when people say "Blame the parents! Blame the media!" and don't want to blame the kids. I probably misunderstood you, and I apologize for that.LividBovine wrote:

I would never say just blame the parents, there is a slow shift of responsability that happens over time.SenorToenails wrote:

I also believe that there is never a full shift. I do think the parents retain some blame throughout thier childs life. I feel that way about my kids anyways.

Because Parents are too busy to raise thier kids.
The TV is sucha great babysitter. Let them zone out peacefully in front of the tube. Saturate thier impressionable minds with war, murder, violence, celebrity fetishism, trends, fashion, vanity, and the bullshit notion of the importance of social status. THERE IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM. RIGHT THERE.
HOWEVER it's not TV's fault, it's the influence of tv, which shouldn't matter if there wasnt THE LACK OF influence from GOOD parenting.
And as we sink into an are where a fucked up generation has kids, the kids are more fucked up than the parents.
The blame is the parents, the human race has never been pretty, and it's always been the family that shows the children what's right, what happened, what's wrong. Now you have disinterested parents, leaving the kids open to the world, unfiltered, unexplained to them, and no one there to tell them about what is wrong and right with what they are seeing.
That's the god damn key.

yes. because fox portrays news from a biased, right wing point of view, that means the core news bit is not true.usmarine wrote:

every time you guys read an article about some statistical outliers doing something violent, u all get on here denouncing your culture and trying to reduce all of us to these rare atrocities (that probably none of you have ever personally witnessed). its downright stupid. for every hundred articles that go to print about people acting crazy, you get maybe one about a person doing something good, even tho affiliative actions outnumber cruelty by orders of magnitude in normal human interaction. its to the point where many of you think that the media actually represents society, when it only represents the selected, most extreme, instances of our behavior that they can pen or snap in a photo. if a scientist carried out a thousand trials for an experiment but then only wrote papers about a handful of outlying data points cherry picked from his body of data, he would be discredited as a scientist and lose his job. im not suggesting we uphold the exact same standards for the media, but we could at least refrain from making retarded generalizations based on their obvious cherry picking. academia (chomsky, et al.) has known for decades that the media selectively "filters" stories and subsequently our perception of world events. if you are the type that likes to read the news and try to take a little moral lesson from each article, then you are surrendering your own freedom to experience the world as it actually exists. u accept a false piecemeal representation of reality on which to draw your conclusions, rather than living your life and judging people based on your experiences.
it worries me that we actually risk creating a positive feedback loop based on the media's selective representation of reality and our chosen behavior. if the media succeeds in convincing the average person (like you guys in this forum, disowning your culture because of a handful of crazy teenagers in florida) that people are inherently dangerous and unpredictable, then some individuals (like teenagers) might internalize this message and actually behave violently when they would have, otherwise, been socialized like normal human beings. the media's selection of real "news stories" is far worse for our psyche than violent games or shows. at least when violent media is presented as fiction, we have the opportunity to interpret it that way. when the fabricated violent media is presented as fact on our news entertainment shows, we risk distorting our sense of self as people and members of our culture.
if youre so unlucky that u get beaten or killed by a crazy band of teenagers, then as far as im concerned, u are a martyr for freedom.
