Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

You can parse words by talking about "some demographics" But the fact of the matter is that the majority of children in this country living in single parent households are the result of divorce and separation, not Black teenagers having children out of wedlock. Rather than number of house...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Crime and punishment are common subjects on this forum. There have been hundreds of threads on various crime-related topics. Everything from school shootings to political violence to raw milk. Are you suggesting there is some Christian principle against talking about such things? Generally speaking...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

And some of you are worried ,about this online thing, that a family member might see it ? give me a break,please ...this is very small compared to what the Court system has or will do to them.. Right. As long as you do less damage than a non-Christian entity there are no problems detected. [/sarcas...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

I agree. I think he should go through the regular justice system. Edit: This was a response to Ernie's question if a pardon would be a perversion of justice. I see a lot of posts have been made between. He already went through the regular justice system and was convicted. Governor Abbott pardoned h...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

THAT is the ACTUAL situation we face in this country. I won't burden you with a lot of graphs and charts to make the point but you know I can. There is no universe where left-wing violence exceeds right wing violence in this country. ESPECIALLY when it comes to murders and acts of terror. Really? T...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

The key demographic for single parent households is actually DIVORCED people not white or black teenagers. According to the most recent Pew research on the topic there are more single parent families resulting from divorce or separation than from unmarried teenagers of all races. As I pointed out a...

I saw that photo and I’m not actually sure that is a legit photo… either way, no sand there. Yeah. I dunno. If they are put on trial then the prosecution will have to provide a lot of evidence about what the location was like and a jury will have to decide if they were egregiously negligent or not.

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

I'm reading what seems like a lot of talk about "ignoring warnings" here. What exactly does that look like in this case. Has anyone actually been at the the site of the accident? A quick bit of googling brought up these photos. This is the correct waterfall but I don't know if these are w...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

As a general rule, if you don't have left-wing politics, you'd better fear for your life if you are in a blue city (like Austin) and you find yourself stuck in a violent protest. Democratic and left-wing prosecutors have made it very clear they won't prosecute crimes like fleeing the police, carjac...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Words have meanings. How exactly were the SAR team negligent? Well, one of them died in this apparently dangerous waterfall, and we just got done hearing a lecture about how if your child dies in this waterfall it's obviously your fault. Don't see how the SAR team is fundamentally different. (I'm n...
