sox4lifeinPA Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Turned themselves in for beating up multiple homeless people in Florida. One of the homeless men was killed. This is why the US needs to implement a 2 year mandatory military service for 17-19 year olds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ha, you know if conversation ever picks up on this, it's going to get hairy. I am just a month and a half out of your proposed age bracket, but I disagree with what you said. Those teenagers actions are far from representative of all teens in America. I won't be saying anymore in this thread; I try to steer away from this kind of stuff. The closest I want to get to controversy on a message board is who should get the final spot on the Sox 25 man. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I don't know greasy... sometimes I think that you're in the minority. It's not your fault that many, many kids today have no respect for anything and zero sense of responsibility. Our parents did a great job raising us.

Idonno how old are you but if you think majority of kids are like that than your way 2 old.....a lot of punk kids but this kids obviously have other issues.... And the army doesnt really stop those kinds of kids like that prison tape incident where they were f***ing with all the prisoners or whatevr it was awhile back.

sox4lifeinPA Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think there are much more subtle deviant acts than beating bums that kids get away with these days. by the way, by mandatory military service, I DON'T mean going overseas to fight in wars. That could be an option if the kid wanted it, but I mean domestic defense and national guard stuff. For instance, during Katrina relief, we would have a sizable force of young adults to help with moving supplies and handing out aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Miltary is not a reform school or prison. Our military does not need wack jobs like this. They would be bad for moral, bad for discipline, and quite possibly, could get innocent soldiers killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I don't think they SHOULD be in the military. A new branch of domestic service should be started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Perhaps instead of required military service, you encourage judges to assign teens to groups similar to Americorps as alternative sentences. Groups that do volunteer work like building low cost housing, neighborhood clean-up, disaster aid, etc. Something more than just XX hours of community service, mind you - I mean a group that is 24/7 together and functioning as a unit (like the military). Eh, I suppose there aren't any groups like that now, and you'd have to establish them from scratch. But still an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor is impalement from our pal Lord Ares in Minnesota. SOMETHING is better than nothing. Whether it's 1%, 10%, or 50% of the 13-18 year old population that has discipline issues, I think it's important for a large portion of studends these days to learn discipline and personal responsibility. for the record, I could have used this, even though I would have fought it.

Man, if they don't find these kids to be insane and they get locked up in the big house, they're gonna experience more 'bats' than they ever thought possible. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10834294/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can just blame it on the "Bumfights" videos or the "Ghetto Fights" videos where people beat bums laying on the street in between streetfights fights.
