The sad thing is it has become too routine to cause outrage...
Just another statistic,.. like auto deaths or shootings...

Sir, I am sure this child will grow up to be a life time NRA member, and you can be assured that his next crime will involve a gun.

None of the five million NRA members stabbed(or shot) anyone today.

And I'll bet you a beer that this kid turns out to have come from a "tolerant" liberal family. You know - folks just like you.

"None of the five million NRA members stabbed(or shot) anyone today."

....are you sure?"

"And I'll bet you a beer that this kid turns out to have come from a "tolerant" liberal family."

"tolerant" and "liberal "do not automatically to go hand in hand, and definitely should not be the catch-all reason for disturbed or sociopathic behavior.
I work with "special " kids every day, in group homes, detention centers, and youth psychiatric wards. In a lot of cases they are a product of poor (or non existent) parenting. In some cases the parents do care, but are not equipped to handle their kids (don't understand or are not equipped to deal with their needs). A very very few kids are sociopaths.
They almost always suffer from a poor self image, which almost always is caused by conservative viewpoints on the part of society as a whole, and/or parents with conservative views. -ie"You CAN"T  be gay- I won't allow it." (I actually heard a parent say that to a teenage girl during a parent conference.)

Come on Webstermark..... explain why you think it is bull.

I had thought the "just like you" was referring to Serobot being liberal.

You, as a counselor, this prejudice scares me:

I know firsthand that a very close couple we know, very liberal, talked greatly of tolerance, often deriding folk who held Gay marriage is for heterosexuals, labeling them as one might expect in this PC world.
Well, their grandson announced he was Gay, she went into depression, having to seek help with her feelings, the granddad shuns him altogether.

My wife's brother was Gay (he died of AIDS). Her parents only vote democrat, espousing all the talking points they get from the mainstream media. His relationship with his folks was so strained he had to move away.
Again, the dad, a former DI in the marines, held him in contempt, even to the point of accusing him of denying him a son. The mother never talked about him to anybody, it was as if he didn't exist.
It was years later that some of the relatives learned of his passing, for they wouldn't even tell them of this, for the fear they would find out
he died of AIDS.
I had many long talks with him, trying to understand "gayness" in a manner where I might be more enlightened. I am better for it, and it has lent me greater understanding into how diverse all of us are in our thinking/beliefs.

And if memory serves me correctly I think Cher had issues with Chasity to the point where she moved in with Sonny, who accepted her as she was.....  

Honestly, you scare me with such assertion, sorry pal.
