The kid wasn't the step-parent's problem. The step-parent should have just divorced their mate rather than be around that kid. Was the kid's parent rich or very good in bed that you could just put up with or ignore the kid until this happened? Nah, can't have been a rich parent or the kid would have been in a distant boarding school the first time the kid started getting out of hand.
If you noticed, there's a second kid in the house - a kid who's turning out just fine.
And I've no doubt Gabe doublechecked the story and verified the connection before publishing.
Just because it has a humanoid form does not make it human.
That's about as well stated as it could possibly be.
And as far as the libs vs conservatives, there's one problem: it's the libs who allowed him to get this bad this quick.
Do we know that he wouldn't be this bad anyways if he'd been thrown in juvie? No.
However, we CAN say that if not for lib policies that kids crying "abuse" are always telling the truth, parents are all evil abusers, no parent has the right to discipline, kids should be "let off the hook" whenever possible, and such, this kid WOULD have been in Juvie.
And IF he had been in Juvie, then there are handicapped kids who wouldn't have been beat up, shit that wouldn't have been stolen, and a guy named Rex Baum would be alive right now.
So, fuck the libs. It's their policies that stopped society from protecting itself from this kid soon enough.
Some people are not psychologically designed to respond to stimulus the same way; some are visual learners, some are auditory, some learn better from example and demonstration, some more from reading, some from fidgeting around with things till they understand how it operates.
Some are born completely without the ability to discern cause and effect, and some are born with a complete psychological immunity to corrective tactics.
Some are pathological liars.
Yes, you can be "born bad." I've seen it many times. There are schoolteachers who think "no kid is really a bully" and try to "understand" everyone: these schoolteachers are retarded fucktards who let bullying happen.
The same goes for the retarded fucktards who took the kid's word over the parents who were screaming for protection and help in trying to discipline him.
Word to the cops: if the PARENTS are begging you to put him in jail and prosecute, WHAT THE FUCK do you think you're doing handing him back off?
Those cops should be fired for laziness and incompetence.
They have a number of problems, primary is constantly deleting comments to protect their fellow administrators. Check the page history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:ANI.
Also on the problem market is the "CheckUser" utility, which got opened up to more users when David Gerard (who somehow still remains way on top of the project) was caught abusing it, but now rests in the hand of some of the most abusive administrators; gone is the day when an "Affirmative", "Negative", or "Inconclusive" report was given for each name submitted, now abusers of the system are slamming 10-15 names into the system and all the administrators ever write is "probable" or "likely" for the blanket lot of them.
Between that and the fact that administrators never have to follow their own rules (believe me, I've seen some of the worst abusive language from administrators, who are given a free pass while new users who write "fuck" on their user page are blocked for "incivility"), it's obvious that wikipedia needs some serious change.
if Wikipedia's current group of administrators did more administrating and less playing politics and abusing their powers to ban anyone they have a disagreement with on content.
Seriously. Look at the history of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:ANI page, there are hundreds if not thousands of spots where administrators have removed comments to cover up for the abuses by their friends.
And Wales wants me to give these people money? He should go back to selling porn, he'd have all the money he wanted.
Advocate banning "trolls" whenever possible, especially when they threaten to expose malfeasance on the part of your worst employees.
Call one of your detractors a "disease" in your IRC channels, then deny you said it (even though it was logged) and create an entire "biography" on the person devoted solely to libeling them, in violation of publication laws and your own "standards" for biographical entries.

2. Gen Con would still be in Milwaukee, if the organizers had been willing to move it back one weekend.
Milwaukee has TONS of hotel space. It's just hard to hold an event in the city when you're on the same weekend as the Wisconsin State Fair's final weekend.
Instead, they moved it to Indy... and now the same complaints (lack of hotel space mostly) are coming back, and none of the vendors want to drive all they way to fucking boring Indianapolis.
The goal has nothing to do with spammer/"search engine optimizers"; the goal is to make it so that Wikipedia doesn't give anyone else a bump in search engine rankings.
Wikipedia's already a gigantic linkfarm inside itself, and why Google somehow doesn't treat its links like every other linkfarm is something of a mystery. By not "reciprocating" the goodness (giving credence to a linked site on, say, breast cancer by their own link) they can ensure that the Wikipedia site on a given search is that much more likely to be the #1 search, rather than - say - a major hospital's cancer research center or a dedicated cancer information site.
That way, Jimbob gets that much more money when he institutes ads this summer, too.
You heard some astroturfer call in to Rush Limbaugh today with this and now you are claiming it is happening to you.
Fuck you, liar. I don't listen to Limbaugh. I got a phone call claiming to be from the Sekula-Gibbs campaign at 11:30 PM. The number (since the dumbfucks didn't block off caller ID) traced back to Lampson's campaign.
Come on now. I see this kind of shit all the time from our local Democraps. It just doesn't make the papers because the reporters and editorial overseers are democraps themselves.
So what's your point? Slashdot is hopelessly biased, we know that - but this is a common campaign scheme, and the Democraps are doing it to me and my neighbors in the middle of the night claiming to be calling from the Republican campaign.
And then you drop your remote, and it bounces around on the floor, and your Wii has fast forwarded/reversed/skipscened so you have no clue where you are in the movie!
Small hint: Buttons are a great thing. They don't rely on being held steady to function properly.

Nobody likes an ass-kiss, David. At least honestly reveal the fact that you're Jimbob's #2 ass-kiss before defending your gigantic linkfarm.

What I find funny is that SL isn't treating a duping bug as a duping bug, even though this clearly qualifies as such.
Republicans throw their gay rapists out.
You Demoshits keep yours in office.
And they call it "flamebait" to point out how biased the media is.
Fucking leftist crapmods we have here... business as usual for Slashshit.

Now go fuck yourself.

Then shut down your studio and claim you're going to make movies, rather than finish what had been an enjoyable series.

Like say, snake oil. Or those magnetic gewgaws that are supposed to give you 500% better fuel efficiency in your car.
Or, other crap that doesn't work.
I got home and my wallet had built itself a little gallows and hung itself.
Oh, no wonder. Sony released the pricing for the PS3.

Come on. This was announced months ago.

Sorry. The formula of "hit the buttons in sequence displayed" got worn out years ago.
