i agree with cotton's point that it's not as simple as just blaming the parents.
you can't blame everything a kid does on his or her parents. it's virtually impossible to police every influence a child is exposed to. especially in this day and age.
that said, a parent leads by example more than anything -- if they are irresponsible pricks then the child will obviously have a poor model for their behavior.

i think there is a connection with this type of hyperrealism stuff with the way we all interact with technology on the whole.
instead of becoming smarter because of it, most stay the same...despite it.
because the end product is essentially entertainment.

spending time with your kids has absolutely nothing to do with it.
its easy to say this or that is the reason for all of it. its just not that simple.

you're wrong cotton.A child's welfare begins and ends with it's parents...
... unless we're discussing 'wards of the state'... which is a whole other conversation.
A child is the responsibility of their parent - end of story.
If people put a little more effort into their children... and stopped using the TV and school systems to 'raise their children'... we'd have a much happier world.

see, I don't know if you can actually blame everything on the parents. Some kids do things despite what they've been ingrained to do by their parents because of their peers.

you're right... there is no 'end-all' place to put blame...... but a child enters this world through the means of a Mommy & Daddy.
Your teacher didn't 'make you'... your TV or YouTube didn't create you... :) And MOST DEFINETLY... your next door neighbor/fellow man didn't bring you into this world... therefore the responsibility isn't 'theirs' either (this theory that it 'takes a village' to raise a child is a cop-out).

another point:
high speed chase, the only one guilty of driving recklessly is the one in front, the other 20 black and whites are justified, though collectively they are more dangerous than the leader

v4...
... if someone starts beating you up... and 5 people are standing around watching:
Who's wrong - the five people who stepped in and beat the person down to save you... or the person who ORIGINATED THE SITUATION?
Your ideas are silly.
The 20 black and whites wouldn't be chasing/'being more dangerous than the leader'...
... WITHOUT THE LEADER. :)

but if those five begin to beat him in my defense the4y are no better than he even though they are there for me
which is why i am happy some states have stopped chasing runners as they realize the danger in a high speed chase isn't worth it
i never said it would be easy
