nice post.... and i agree with your views Nickness. its very refreshing to find people mature enough to understand as well as have such views. to most complicated problem there are basic solutions. to me(in this situation), the biggest problem/solution starts with the parents. the absolute thing i hate the most are the parents of undisiplined children(moreso, the younger they are). i see this chik i know with her 5yo who tells her "NO" and completely drops and screams on the ground if its time to leave the park.... makes me wanna grab him by the shirt and punch him in the stomach(like in that movie "Due Date") then tell him to shut up and listen to yo mama.. children coming up with out fear/knowledge of consequences and no religious structure (what ever it my be)will lead to such acts of violence.. anywho, id hate to see that kid 15 years from now.
