Re: I Don't Even Know What to Say About This

I hope to heck that bunch or morons was on drugs. It's scary to think that any teenager would act like that unless they were under the influence of some type of drug. Love and attention? Really? All that love and attention and coddling is what makes morons like that. They need discipline and sense of responsibility! And part time jobs. And they don't need cars.

Based on the story, I don't understand why the driver is charged? How attentive can one be to the road when their armpit hair is on fire? And he's not the one who lit it.

I don't know why they cited the driver unless there's more to the incident.

But good grief, and what were they doing out at 5:30 am, I wonder.

I believe this is why he was cited... I copied from the OP when they spoke about the driver only

Deputies cited Myers with inattentive driving Deputies also said none of the teens was wearing a seatbelt, and there was evidence Myers was driving too fast.

I had not heard about this incident, but this type of immaturity is exactly why I am not in favor of teens having a license until they are 18.

I attribute it to the What If gene ALL males are born with.........what if we stick this wire in the outlet..........what if we jump off this roof into the pool...........what if we fire this thing off.........what if we light his under arm hair on fire.........and that is where the thinking stops at the what if.

NOW.........the female of the species has this What If gene too, but it's connected to the Scenario gene..........and runs more like.........what if we stick this wire in the outlet...okay let's see, a. it will glow, b. I'll get shocked, c. I could die, and d. all of the above.......Okay not doing it, nope, not me, nope nope nope........that's why we're the smarter of the species, thank that Scenario gene for that.........................................raven

Actually, I agree.

I think there should be an exception, though, for working teens, or some other unusual exception.

There's an 18 year old young man in SF, four younger sibs, his mother died unexpectedly of a rare aggressive cancer. He was younger then, and he took over raising his sibs. His teen girlfriend took over the role of mother to the young ones. An amazing story.
