White Trash beat down.

Girls gone wild. MMA beat down
of a cheerleader.

A quote from one of the assailant's parents.
Similar stuff from another interviewed:

The victim’s parents have taken a similar line. “For whatever reason, this MySpace, my-you, this YouTube has gone too far,” said Talisa Lindsay, in an interview outside their home. “It’s just too much.”

Her husband, Patrick, who stood beside her, went even further, declaring that Internet companies were to blame for what happened.

“As far as I’m concerned,” he said, “MySpace is the Antichrist for children.”



Internet to blame.
Its the antiChrist.

Any wonder their child is violent...
Nahhh she is not responsible, the parents
are not responsible. Lets blame something,
anything.

Total lack of personal responsibility that
is a cancer in a democratic society. Could
someone please slap these "parents" upside
the head and then sterilize them.

At least you do not appear to violent! Is it the internet or your parents?

You know you are right.
Sterilize them in a non-violent manner.

Please squared.

And if they are sterilized, I will take
responsibility.

FoxNews story of the month!!! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!! False outrage at said story!!! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!! Hey look at these girls fighting, forget the war!!

[dylbert]

Please remember -- you can't wash stupid off!

And to make this story more curious -- Dr. Phil (you know TV pop psychologist doc) is involved now. One of his staff paid bail for alledged "ring leader". Doc has already issued statement that staffer overstepped authority or some other nonesense.

As I always say, "you can't make this stuff up."

[Danzig]

you mean the dr phil who can't even practice in his home state of texas? lost his license due to 'improprieties with a patient'. i can't believe people still watch his show. or maybe they don't, which is why a staffer got involved. no such thing as bad pr.
as for the beatdown, i have no idea what the story is-and don't feel like looking it up either.

Oh yes you do Z.
It is a good little snap shot
of society and illustrates beautifully
the lack of personal responsibility
that we turn to when something goes wrong.


It was the jock's fault. If he had just...
Take your beating and shut up. YOU made
the bet.

Diversion tactic but really nice try.
The progress of the War is on every
single day. There is an update, through
military (some with harsh interrogation)
everyday where? Since you got
a gazillion channels.

And who watches Fox anyway?

The war is not going away anytime soon no matter
who is elected. So once you get the time, and the
right channel, You can keep us updated.

I'm not the one who is diverting. During my two-hour workout at the gym on Monday, FoxNews reported this story for at least 1 hour out of the two EXCLUDING commercials. Not one story about the war.

You can go **** yourself.

Jeez.
I think he likes me.

It is not news that Fox News puts a
wonderful light on the War when things
are going well, and then diverts when things
are bad. And things are bad right now. So what
did you expect?

The war is not going so great since the "Iraqi
Government's" little military foray.
But that was not the subject
of my post. I was looking for some sort of discussion
about the lack of personal responsibility, that imo
eats away at the fabric of our society. I did not get
this story from Fox. NY times. And of course they
had a video link.

I see this as an example of a signficant shift that has been
taking place for a good while now. I would like
to know if I am imagining trends, and if I am not,
why have we seen this trend.

Ex. We got to go on field trips to all sorts of
places when I was in school. We got to do
some learning outside of the class.
Teachers in my
district are basically told, "dont go anywhere,
the district is liable." Keep the kids inside in the class.
Their parents will sue the crap out of us if anything
happens. So as a consequence no more amusement
park physics or anything like this anymore.
No figuring acceleration of a
roller coaster, etc... Nothing real outside class.
This is only in my
small world.

Just wondering how widespread. And this little ordeal
in the original post is an indication of the blame game
that imo, is rot. And not helplful to the country as a whole.

Sorry you have to work out in front of TV.
Outside can be a nice place.

Two of me would cause space and time to
collapse. I would argue with myself into an abyss.

It really amazes me that girls of this age could do this, not the sick idea but the amount of damage, they are all like 90lbs soaking wet......it is even sicker that the girl that was getting pummeleed didn't just start throwing haymakers, because those girls would have stopped....grab something, a light, umbrella, throw the TV on the floor, do something that distracts them, kick out a window.....

This totally smells like a 'popular' school girl group and this girl that got hurt was trying to be friends with them.

it is reasons like this that they cancelled our "powder puff" football games (where the Senior girls would take on the Junior girls) and stuff about two years after I was out of high school, it got way out of control. So much unchecked aggression...

What is even worse is that my guess is that some of these parents think they have good hearted kids, and are probably good people, and they are on the hook from the lawsuit that will come down from it.

Did you go to Glenbrook North?

If so, yeah, I'd say they might have took that whole powder puff football game thingy just a wee bit to far.

Actually, if I remember the video, I didn't see much football being played. Just a bunch of paint, feces, urine, and a few baseball bats and paintball guns.

One chick got choked out with a pig intestine... and there seemed to be keg stands going on just off to the right.

Damn, those girls know how to party.

No I didn't go there, but I remember the story. It was never that way, until the girls realized the attention they would get from dudes that would show up.

[Scav]

Random thought.

The world has obviously gotten more aggressive, and honestly, I think corporations have bred this into people with how cutthroat they have become. For years, safety in schools were never questioned. my freshman year, our big gym (we had three) was on fire for a while, roof fire, put out, all good. When I was a sophomore, three junior girls were killed when they got into the car with a guy that was drunk, this woke my high school up. The worst thing that happened my senior year at my school was a security guard falling from the 500 golf balls that myself and an accomplice threw down the stairs. I was 'safe' at my high school. Sure there were a couple brawls, but nothing insane where knifes or guns were pulled out. I am only out of high school 10 years ago and it is amazing how much things have changed. And I live in the posh suburbs of Chicago, where we have good schooling and good areas, we have the ability to do almost anything we want in our lives. I can only imagine what goes on in the high school in areas were the quality of life isn't as high, or the family structure isn't as strong.

And the sick thing is, there is really no way to regulate this violence, the only way would be to have someone in every hallway, in every gym, because these kids can care less about a camera and in most cases, a teacher....And that is just not financially possible

i've heard big business get the blame for a lot of stuff....but the behavior of kids? i think it's a reach.

i think it's got more to do with rotten parenting than anything. parents want to be their kids best buddy instead of their parent. or are too busy, too tired, too whatever to even deal with their own child.

You don't think kids hear about their parents getting laid off, or they hear about the economy and what is happening? Compare a 16 year olds knowledge NOW, to one of 10 years ago and you will see the person now, is infinitely smarter then the one from 10 years ago, in all aspects, not just life, but educationally also.

These kids have the worlds at their fingers, and their learning curve is ALOT faster now days. What 18 year olds knew 5 years ago, 16 year olds know now. And it will only get faster. I am all for sex education at 10-11 years old because you know what, it is starting then, it really is. I was lucky in that I had uncles that were only 10 years older then me when I was growing up and my parents were very upfront about alot of stuff, but alot of parents are not that way. I don't think I had a sex education class until I was 17 in high school, I was already on my 2nd or 3rd girl by then (trying to make a point, not boost the ego)

Do you realize that 'cheating on your girlfriend' is now popular in high school? This didn't start happening until college for my age level, but now, it is popular within sophomore and junior aged kids....

I think we had one in 8th grade, but it was no where near the details that were given when I was a junior in high school. It was part of a health class.

I might not have paid attention though. I flew through high school without much trouble or effort.
