I have always believed, that when something,
was said TO  Frequently, To Often,  
and with no  genuine feelings,
It ends up,
not meaning anything,
much less the thing it was suppose to mean.

A  Possible case:
 A Bank is robbed, the person is caught.
The person, ‘apologies’  profusely,  and because so,  a liberal Judge gives a super light sentience.
That person gets out.  (It is a Felony ya know), buys a gun. (Gets through the Background check because the ‘Felony’ was Not  reported)
Then goes on to shoot a bunch of people,
who never really meant their, ‘apology’.

A more Probable case:
Your Phone bill is due on the 20th, you make out a check, and mail it on the 11th. Next month, you see a, ‘Late Payment’ charge.
You call, and remind them it is not Your fault your payment it late, so why don’t you punish the person, who did make your payment late.
The person on the phone,  says, “I’m Sorry”,
You say, “It wasn’t your fault, why are you apologizing?
They, chuckle, then credits your account.
So tell me, what did, that, ‘Apology’, really mean ?

Then their is, someone who can trace their heritage as a immigrant, and trace the fact that, NO ONE, in any of the families, EVER, had Slaves.
Yet, they are suppose to, ‘Apologize’ for doing so,
          and if they do not,
They are most, Certainly,  Raciest !
So tell me, (f they would do it),
what would, that, ‘Apology’, really mean ?

Bot, just do a little search, by typing in the words:
“ tide pods, who ate "

"...According to AAPCC data, in 2016 and 2017, poison control centers handled thirty-nine and fifty-three cases of intentional exposures, respectively, among thirteen to nineteen year olds. In the first fifteen days of 2018 alone, centers have already handled thirty-nine such intentional cases among the same age demographic. Ingestion accounted for ninety-one percent of these reported exposures..."

Why are teenagers doing this, other than the fact that they’re stupid?

 Kids eat tide pods for the same reasons they do most things that jeopardize their safety.

 Peer pressure, its funny, to impress a girl, they don't have experience with long-term consequence, there's ton's of reasons.  I assume they are similar to why I did stupid things as a kid.

 From their angle they see adults drinking and beating their family, cheating on each other, killing each other, physically and sexually abusing them or their siblings, a tide pod is small potatoes to a lot of kids.

I was only partially kidding, but the bigger point is; most high school kids don't know much. And that's certainly true of today's kids whom are raised in a far more protected society than in the past.

I remember we hired this kid our of high school and we were sitting around at the smoke table on his first payday. He opened his check and was stunned when he actually saw taxes on a paycheck for the first time! Funniest darn thing! Poor kid....   but the thing was, he had voted the previous November. Think about that, voted and had no idea what FICA was etc.....

It's really entertaining watching the same people who are so up to speed with the science of how teens aren't able to see the long term also pretend that those vociferous gun control Children should be listened to.

But
Consistent
