Humanity report card on self control: F-
Not long ago we heard news about a group of teens stoning a school bus full of young Jewish students, in New York.
Today I read about a Mexican immigrant who was killed by a group of teens in Pennsylvania.
There has been a rash of graffiti, noose hangings, cross burning and anti-gay hate incidents throughout our country.
One must feel distressed over what type of parents are raising these children? Some would say it's high time the parents were held responsible for their children's actions.
After all, hate is TAUGHT and is a choice.
If a teen doesn't possess sufficient self control or know right from wrong the parents have failed miserably.
Of course this brand of hate is not limited to teens.
Hate has become a cancer, eating away at humanity from the inside out.
If everyone were to cast aside self control and act out on their personal beliefs the world would be in mass chaos.
For those arrogantly feeling the need to do so the punishment should be swift and severe. Courts which issue a "slap on the wrist" punishment are essentially approving of hate!
Everyone seems to feel free speech allows them to say anything they wish. All the way from the parents to the preacher, we have approval in hatred of others.
Most children seek to please their parents. So if you have a parent aggressively speaking against something or someone it's common for a child to "inherit" such feelings. Religion is much the same.
Granted, most children don't act out and most religious people don't. But there are some who do.
Since we can not know who they are, until it's to late, those of us who know better should also know we need to temper what we say.
Otherwise we become part of the problem, instead of the solution!
