As I've been reading through this thread, and remembering comments made in other threads, I've been connecting some dots in my head. These may be some convoluted dots, to be sure, but it's beginning to creep me out regarding the attitudes some of us have.

We'll argue that a corporation can pretty much do what it pleases to us because they're not the government. Our posts indicate that we take a hard-ass line with what we consider punk ass kids who commit crimes and support their being tried as adults.

Then, we have this guy in this thread, and we say shit like, "He was just a kid." or "He was only 19," or "He was just following orders."

Couple that with our otherwise typically hostile attitude towards illegal immigrants.

What the fuck is going on with us?
