He likes to prove a point as much as I do, lol.
Wait...that's sort of frightening.
AB, you can't ever disagree with me, the consequences could be catastrophic!

I have personal experience in this area. I used to believe whole heartedly that all pedophiles should be tortured and mamed, and killed. However, I started working with juvenile pedophiles at a treatment center near here. These kids felt so much remorse for what they did, and worked EXTREMELY hard at resolving their own issues and making sure it didn't happen again. Alot of them where young people who had been severely abused themselves, then acted out because they couldn't get anyone to listen to them, and they where such angry, almost crazy, with emotional pain. It's a different story once they get to be adults. But if you get them to deal with the underlying issues when they are young, treatment is extremely effective. Some of these kids have went on to try and help others deal with their problems, to stop the cycle of abuse. They have dedicated their lives to fixing themselves, and helping others fix themselves.

Totally different monster. Promiscuity in young females is not always an indication of sexual addiction. Usually the underlying cause has nothing to do with sex itself. It's just the means to an end. Juveniles may exhibit pedophile behavior, but the reason they are doing it has nothing to do with their brains being wired wrong. I'm sure though, that there are exceptions to this rule. I'm speaking more in terms of not all kids who might at one time pull the wings off a fly are going to end up being serial killers.
I'm just being devils advocate anyway. Unfortunately that's a side effect of the pain meds, I become alot more vocal on opinions, and look for a debate. I really respect your opinions, Fire, they are really well thought out, and well put. You give me alot to think about alot of times. Thanks.

In my opinion, no, you can not think too much. If anything, most people think too little. Keep on thinking. Every action is first a thought, so thoughts change the world. And so do opinions, btw, if you act on your opinion of things. I had the opinion that someone should do something about trash and stuff, and my opinion inspired me to recycle, walk to more places if I could rather than drive and add to the pollution problem, and stuff like that. The opinion that people in nursing homes shouldn't have to be so lonely inspired me to volunteer and visit nursing homes. I'm only one person, but, as John Denver says, you do what you can do, and I'll do what I can do. But it all starts with thoughts and opinions. (of course I can't walk to places anymore because of the wheelchair issue, but there's other things I can do)
Everyone has their hang-ups. Usually some of the most sensitive, caring, kind people have the worst demons. Don't you be raggin' on my John. And he did not get shit-faced and slam it into a mountain. He had quit drinking, and it was an ocean he went into. My personal opinion actually is that it was suicide. One of his demons was deep depression. But listen to his songs, and you'll see where his soul really was. So deal with that, and leave John alone. And how can you say it's a bad quote. It's a good quote, even if you think for the most part he was screwed up.

and just for laughs:
MONTEREY, CA—According to a Monterey County coroner’s report released Monday, singer John Denver had a shoulder-sunshine level of .27—more than two times the legal limit—at the time of his fatal airplane crash into Monterey Bay on Oct. 12. "Our autopsy discovered a substantial quantity of sunshine on and around Mr. Denver’s shoulders, more than enough to make him high," Monterey County chief coroner Richard Bozell said. "It is my opinion that it would be difficult for even the most experienced pilot to safely operate an aircraft while high on that much sunshine." Denver, who battled sunshine addiction throughout his career, was 53. (For those that don't know. One of John's most famous songs was "sunshine on my shoulders" )

On a totally different note, I'm tired but Dr Phil will be on in half an hour. It's must see TV. He's the most arrogant, pompous, megalomaniacal idiot who's ever managed to acquire a PHD. I like to watch and toss large foam sponges at the TV whenever he says anything stupid. It's highly entertaining AND a it's good exercise (I have to get up 5 or 6 times to retrieve all the sponges).
