SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the prevalence of children fighting and adult neglect in American communities, with participants debating whether such behavior is common. Some argue that the actions of parents who encourage fighting among children reflect a broader societal issue, while others emphasize that such behavior is not representative of American culture as a whole. The conversation highlights the existence of violence in certain neighborhoods, contrasting it with the absence of child armies and the presence of martial arts academies that promote discipline. Ultimately, the dialogue reveals deep concerns about the implications of such behavior on future generations.

To call some human beings sub-human is extremely offensive to me.
I remember seeing a video of a guy messing around with a skateboard and then I don't remember what happened, but for some reason he started hitting some guy over the head with the trucks of his skateboard. That guy hit over the head died that night or the next day. Another video I recall watching was some group of kids thinking it would be fun to kick some dog laying on the ground a bunch of times. Another video which many people have probably seen is the one in which some gangster talks about how he don't care bout nobody/whatever and then takes a crowbar to a passing car's windows and whatever...

Now, those are just videos that I have seen. There are people who rape/kill/torture/whatever who are much worse than those who I mentioned. Many people have such a disregard for human life, that they would be able to kill thousands with their bare hands without feeling any emotion, except for joy in the even more twisted ones.

It is offensive to ME to be categorized in the same group as those people.

EDIT: Actually, it's not offensive to me at all, I just added that in there just to add to the drama :biggrin:
