> I am curious to know when kids didn't do things like that ;) so this makes it fine and dandy?
I would say that kids brought up to respect others, and respect other's property don't do things like that. My brother didn't, and I didn't. My parents brought us up to have COMPASSION for other people, and thats why. We were brought up to consider other people's feelings. > When I was a kid my brother hunted me and my friend thought he woods for an > hour to shoot us in the ass with a bb gun.

Shooting my brother in the ass with a bb gun would probably be a pretty stupid thing to do, but I have a brother so I certainly understand it. > its part of growing up, maybe it was different for girls (but I remember > when some girls can be more mean and hurtful to others then any guy).

I would hope that we would teach our kids to do better than we did. An eight year old busting windows is different than deliberate destruction by high school students for the sake of destruction too, I think. And shooting poor homeless folks in the face with paintballs and thinking its really funny is heinous. ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
