You really hate people, don't you?
A more soulless group i've never seen.
Empty shells of silicone and pretense.
The only ones I see that give me any hope at all are the many young Marines I meet in my day to day life.
Our education system turns out girly-boys and boyish-girls. Most of the College kids I meet majored in partying, disrespect, and responsibilty avoidance.
Surfing's still good though.

Maybe you have a low oppinion of these "soulless" people you speak of simply because they recognise that you are a backwards old geiser who despises anyone who dares to live a lifestyle that is different from his own. That must be why you like the marines, as they are the only ones still indoctrinated enough to believe whatever you tell them.

So scipio if an offender is a serial killer and kills let's say 40 people, yet comes from a family with two parents, then he had a better childhood than an offender who robbed a bank, yet came from a single family household?

I didn't expect much from you .. and you didn't disappoint at all, very predictable.
"That must be why you like the marines, as they are the only ones still indoctrinated enough to believe whatever you tell them."
What I see that I like most about the Marines (other than the fact that they aren't you) is that they "get it", most every college kid I meet here in the US is only in college to avoid taking any type of responsibilty for themselves, still sucking off Mommys teat and Daddys wallet ,, we've got a whole generation of educated idiots IMO
You're one of them ,, you'll get it just before the end comes.
What you don't see is the "indoctrination" that you've been through .. it's easy to miss when you're still living with Mom and Pop at the age of 30.
No one is more blind than he that refuses to see,

Originally posted by scipio2Can you say "selection bias"?
70% of young 'offenders' in Britain come from single parent homes according to government statistics, and one in two cohabiting couples split up before the 5th birthday of their offspring compared with one in twelve married couples.
Clearly the government policy must be aimed at encouraging marriage by offring financial and other incentives.

"...It's been said you need only do three things in this country to avoid poverty: finish high school, marry before having a child and marry after the age of 20. Among those who follow such advice, only 8% are poor, while 79% of those who do not are poor."

Originally posted by wedgehead2Exactly. Apparently this is a huge problem for the younger generations today. If people are taught to think for themselves, they might (gasp) disagree with you. They might even have very good arguements for why they disagree wih you, forcing you to resort to blanket statements trying to discredit an entire generation of people in a pathetic attempt to back up your opinion. The marines, however, are still taught not to think for themselves, but to follow orders.
Being taught to think for yourself!
