Unstopableravens, it's sad when folk become desensitzed to the plight of others
Scotoma, I agree it deserves a remedy. And one that will discourage greatly
Tammy brought out a good point about teens gettin' caught up in the wrong crowd
One remedy I see is if teens see their peers get charged
as an adult.
@cofty - the answer to your question is: Yes.
@confused
@wasblind - Because the suggestion that teens have an adult trial was just what this thread needed to make it less wacko.
Do people who see the world in black and white tend to get attracted to fundamentalism or does exposure to fundamentalism produce binary thinking?-cofty
Both, some people are born that way. I was I have a very black and white view of the world. But because I know this, I also recognise life has grey area's too.
Being exposed to all kinds of things including fundamentalism, can have impacts especially if the exposure is in formative years. It determines how people think. So yes binary thinking can be produced by fundamentalism.
Also many can have tenacious personality traits which can be good in some cases and in other cases it can manifest itself in behaviours similar to a dog with a bone.
cofty, I hope you wanted an answer to you question and you weren't just being facetious young man!

So true KATE
The kind of things I was exposed to was from my mother and grand parents
they taught me to treat others the way I wish for them to treat me
and as a child I had better use my manners. Never disrepsect adults
and to use Mr. or Mrs. unless told otherwise
.
.
I was taught that if I choose to do wrong, I am also makin' a choice to suffer whatever consequence
that wrong may reap.
.
.
Teens may be impressionable, but they do at that age know right from wrong
some choose to do the wrong anyway becuase they have seen as an under age teen they are
more likely to escape the full force of the law
.
.
It's high time to prosecute these teens for the intentional bodily harm they cause like adults
instead of a slap on the wrist as a minor
because this opens up the possibility to put the death penalty on the table
and may make them think twice, that if a person dies because of these attacks. they could die too
.
.
If we learnt anything from the JW experience it should be that thought crime is not actually a crime.
Assault however, is.
