    People with Smythla's beliefs just showcase how scary fundamentalist Christians are. The same people who beleive that they must control their kids 100 percent of the time, keep them on lock down, and terrorize them are just following the Bible's "spare the rod" theme. I'm sure that they also believe that women are "property" to be bought/sold/traded/abused. These fundamentalists are no different from al Qaeda really. It is sickening. I think that U.S. need to launch a war on terror against the radical fundamentalist Christians and wipe them off the face of the Earth before they take away all the rights that women and children have gained over the last 100 years.

    Hmmmm, maybe time for a new thread - "The Demise of Religion". Alot of worldwide woes are a direct result of fundamental religious beliefs these days. Anyone want to wager against me that more people have died throughout history in the name of religion than anything else???

    I am not saying that all religions or all aspects of religion are bad, far from it. I for one have my faith, religion aside and it is enough for me.

    You haven't provided any proof that you have a driver's license. I have my own car (and my own driver's license) to get myself into DC. Thanks for the offer but no thanks.

    And yes, I know that the vehicle belonged to the parents of the driver.

    And yes, there are two dead kids thanks to another kid either stealing a car or having it given to him by dim-witted parents. A "good" kid doesn't kill other kids.

    Too bad I'm not a fundamentalist Christian (or a Christian at all) to back up your ridiculous assertation.

    I'm not out killing other people and neither are my kids. I guess that makes them "bad kids" since the "good kids" are the ones out killing each other and messing around with drugs, guns, alcohol and stolen cars.

    Stealing a car so you say and having dim-witted parents so you say did not cause the accident. Speed and being reckless caused the wreck and boys being boys.And yes Smythla I did drag race when I was a teen and no not on a race track but on the street.Yes I did have friends killed we knew the outcome, but did it anyway for the thrill.Now the friends that raced every Friday night were males and females.Now your thinking what bad parents we all had and we would all turn out to be evil people well your WRONG. Out of the group they became lawyers,mayors,firefighters,police officers, news directors,actors etc. So that not bad for a group of teens as you would say were out of control. At least my parents always gave me enough rope to go out and be a boy.And I regret nothing that I did and it has helped me through life because nothing is a suprise been their done that.

    Smythla-do you know the definition of an accident? In response to your reply, 'good kids don't kill other kids', I'm pretty sure the 15 year old didn't leave his house that night with plans to crash a car and kill 2 of his friends.

    Smythla, have you even considered that the parents might have given the truck to one of the other kids who was a licensed driver?

    Smythla, Why don't you set a real good example for you're children and call one or all of the three families affected by this tragedy, and see if there is anything that they need, or if you could help in some way? You seem so eager to bash anyone and everyone who is supposedly involved, it seems that you have absolutely no compassion. Very few of us are fortunate enough to make it through life without being touched with some sort of tragedy. 13 years ago I lost a brother in a similar type of accident, although his 2 passengers lived, and unfortunately my brother didn't. (He was driving his vehicle). Although he was 21 he was breaking the law by drinking and driving. Did my parents fail in some way in his up bringing? No. Did we grow up learning that its O.K. to break the law? No. This was a choice that my brother made, and although not a good one, it was an accident. I'm sure he didn't deliberatly go out that night to wreck his truck, and ultimately loose his life. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, so here's mine. I hope that you never find youself in the middle of a personal tragdy, and find that you are being bashed on some lame forum. Time to lay off all of these poor people. IMO you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Very true. Every time a women thinks otherwise, the man of the house needs to make that point clear! You talk about giving women and children more rights over the years. Well that has only undermined the male's God-given authority. Now we have the homosexuals getting uppity for their rights. Women, children, and homosexuals should have no rights... Read it for yourself in the Bible. I hope you find your way to church tomorrow...the same for all the rest of you on here.

    But, instead of responding to your attacks on good Christians and proper Biblical values, let's talk about the "tragedy." These parents should never have let underage kids out at all hours of the night. That might have stopped this tragedy.

    ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Oh my gosh, I can't not even use the words on here to express your lame, idiotic, outdated views that you stated below.
    And as far as these children being 'out at all hours of the night'...they were coming home from a school sponsored event.
    I'm sure I could easily pick out your house here in Broadlands--the one with jail bars on the windows where the wife and kids (if there are any, god help them) chained to the basement.

    We all need to stop responding to the ludicrous posts of smythla, killer bee, et al. Either they: a) are just posting this stuff to be controversial and get a reaction from the community; or b) they actually believe the excrement they are posting, in which case we should just pity them and move on.

    Either way, IMO it is not worth our time or energy to respond further.

    killerbee: Every time I think that views like yours are going away, I think about how half the country is Republican, and they all believe what you do (but only some admit it to your face--that's the worst part). We take one step forward for human rights, and people like you take us two steps back.

    All I can say is that this is one woman that you are your evil Republican zombies can't control. Now go watch FOX news, discipline your "property," or bow and pray before your idol George Bush.

    What an idiotic post. Just because someone is a Republican, or a Democrat, or a Christian, or a Muslim, or whatever does not mean that you have to share the extreme views of a member of that group. I am a registered Republican, and happen to believe that killerbee's comments belong in a different century.

    Your generalization smacks of Naziism. All Jews were bad anyway, right? Certainly not a very compassionate/liberal viewpoint.

    patsfan: How nice to see your Republicans come together! You claim that killerbee is out of step with his views, but then you show your true colors by saying "I am a registered Republican" and defending him!

    Republicans are actively trying to deprive anyone who is not a white straight male of rights. Your party is trying to turn back the clock of the women's rights movement. You people want to change the consitution to deprive a whole group of people of "inalienable human rights." Your leader wants to force everyone in the world to pray to his God. You should be proud of all that if you're a Republican, why hid it?!? I've never met a Republican who has anything but contempt for anyone who thinks for himself. You people just follow Bush blindly, just like zombies.

    I did not defend killerbee, you ____! Did you even read my post??? I said killerbee's comments belong in another century. I took offense to your grouping of me and half the U.S. population into the same category as killerbee. It doesn't even approach a "defense" of her.

    And your comments exhibit an intolerance that makes you unworthy of the title "liberal." As you point out (but gloss over), I am only "registered" as a Republican -- I consider myself a moderate. I happen to strongly disagree with a lot of what this administration and the Republican Congress have done, and if Kerry weren't such an idiot I would definitely be voting Democratic this year. As it stands, I do not yet know who I am going to vote for.

    You need to tone down your rage a little bit and realize that the world is not black/white Republican/Democrat. There are actually those of us out there that have open minds, and will be persuaded to support those with the most coherent arguments. And, I dare say that your drivel will never be confused with coherency. Good thing you don't speak for all Democrats, your party wouldn't have a chance!

    This thread has gone WAY off topic and has gotten extremely ugly. If you want to have political debates why not take it offline to email or go share a latte at Starbucks. :)

    Folks, this thread is getting dangerously away from the main topic, which is about the tragic accident involving some local teenagers. Let's stick to the topic. If anyone wants to discuss politics, religion, ideology, etc, either take it off-line (or to Starbucks as Sarasmom suggested) or start a new thread.
    Please stick to the topic and BE NICE.

    Thank you.

    I've never labeled myself liberal or a Democrat. There was a glimmer of hope when you said "the world is not black/white Republican/Democrat." But then you assume because I am not a Replublican, I am a Democrat! It shows how flawed your "logic" is when you can't even follow through with a thought! That's the narrow-mindedness that we all expect from you people, and you more than happily stand and deliver just like killerbee. I'm sure that you'll be right behind him and his battered wife voting for Dubya again!

    Now, let's remember the topic of this forum! The tragedy that caused the loss of young lives here in the Broadlands. The vile and ugly remarks made about these kids and their families saddens me to the core. Those leading the attacks just happen to be fundamentalist Republican zealots! That tells me everything that I need to know about why Republicans are so contemptible. Please give these families a chance to mourn and grieve in peace already!</u>

    And if you read the whole thread, you will see that I have been critical of killerbee, mearen, smythla, et al. But you ignore that fact because it doesn't fit into your black/white world.

    Oh, and by the way, I'm pretty sure killerbee is a woman. Gee, that doesn't really fit into your generalizations, either, though. Does it?

    What an asinine, idiotic, boorish, childish, etc... statement.

    Thank goodness for people like Killer AND you, it makes most of the rest of us normal!
