It's just weird to me how so many people will say about a 15 y/o committing a crime, "when I was 15 i knew x was wrong, throw the book at them" but when something like this happens it's more like "well im sure you said horrible stuff at that age, I'm sure they'll grow out of it just like you/I did" Seems inconsistent morally I mean... presumably most people separate words from actions. Saying something at 15 isn't exactly the same as doing something at 15. What's the difference? This. posting racist shit online IS an action. Well, I don't really agree with that exactly... Words and actions are differwnt, and have different consequences. But why shouldn't they both have consequences? And who gets to decide. what those are? --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:924940141] in Oh look th...
