WTH is wrong with this world

Authorities tell us today that Cass came from a troubled family. His mother is in prison on cocaine possession and sale charges, and his father is serving a 15-year prison sentence for manslaughter after choking a prostitute to death in 2002.


from the article, still no excuse...........15 minutes and a crowbar the son of a bitch would be straightened out

[Uncle Matt]

Damn straight. Have crowbar will smash in skull.

I can remember when it happened to Rose Nelson in Newport.Except it
was a castiron frying pan to the head.

These are the type of kids who need to be

And how again would beating this kid improve his attitude toward life?
Also, don't kid yourself about the Northeast. That sounds like someone who has never been anywhere. When you hear someone with a drawl, do you automatically think they are less intelligent than you? They have doctors and lawyers and scientists and big citys with big fancy buildings down south and out west. Oh, and colleges to--lots of them! Do you want me to tell you what they think of you when they hear you unable to pronounce an R at the end of a word (unless of course it ends in a vowel-- then you ADD an R)? Yeah, the NE is great, I agree. But for me it's the ocean and, up north, the mountains that seal the deal. A lot of the people I could do without. Smacking your kids around is great for keeping them in line when they are around the house, if that's what your after, because they are afraid of you. But what kind of people do they become? They learn that violence (or the threat of it) is a tool used to make people do what you want. Whether it's to seperate some poor kid from his lunch money, scare some suit into giving your construction outfit some lucrative scam road job that you can milk for a few years and get fat, or to someday get your own kids to shut up because you don't know what to do with them. I threw that second one in because it typifies this area for me. People love to sit up here and deride the lazy (minorities) down south, when the truth is I have never seen an area so overun with people looking for deals, scams, phony jobs and unionized BS gravytrains in my whole life. Mass only looks good because it is next to RI, but it is just as crooked. If you have a shamrock up your ass, a red face and a big bald spot, chances are someone will take care of you down the road with a job and you'll be able to afford one of these new $600,000 homes you and all your buddies are building. Good luck to the rest of you. DONE RANTING!! Sorry, OT a little!

More than troubled, they should be neutered!!!

The apple don't fall far from the tree......I am with BMEUP on this. There are just as many clueless yahoos up north as there are down here. Actually, some of the immigrants in that area did some pretty bizarre things in the name of child rearing. North, south, east, west: its all the same. There are lots of ignorant people in this country. Don't think money makes people any better either.

i was thinking of some kind of environmental pollution found in the south as apposed
to "cultural differences" having lived in florida, georgia ,tennesee,oregon and the southwest too....
and that pollution (or that found in the mind)
could be in the form of violent video games influence instead of ONLY chemical or mineral toxic substances.
There seems to be a similar theme
in kids resorting to major acts of violence as if there is NO penalty to pay afterwards....
as if they just solved all their problems ....just like in a game....
but OF COURSE ....i'm just hazarding a guess ....here.

and Uncle Matt you give a whole new meaning to spare the rod (crowbar)
...........spoil the child.... even though that punk
prolly could benefit from a caning....out in the woodshed.
My dad would have me cut my own switch....
i always came back with a huge stick....
so i then got less whacks, and it stung less.
