On another discussion group I came across an odd discussion.
The poster had sold one of his friends something that wasn't his in the first place. He then turned around & stole it back. The friend caught him so he returned it to him. Now the poster is was wondering if he could steal it AGAIN?
I couldn't help but say the guy needed to be punished. In fact my words were "Your "friend" should take you out behind the woodshed & beat the snot out of you, then your father should do the same. Then perhaps you'd learn some morals!"
I may have been a bit harsh but come on.... This guy has no idea what right & wrong is or just plain doesn't care, yet I'm the one who has points deducted & their response deleted. 
Some people really need a good swift kick in the pants yet this time I feel like the administration gave me one.
What's up with society today?

I agree with you being disgusted by this other posters lack of morals. But disagree with the way you expressed it. Violence only breeds more violence. The friend should be punished in a court of law by being sentenced to jail.

I'm leaving off the details so as not to upset Mylot administration since it was on another site but the item was small enough the legal system wouldn't bother especially with him being a teenager. This is something that should have been handled at home with a belt.

He probably learned his petty thievery at home. You are only guilty if you get caught. He will end up stealing something bigger if he does not mend his ways, and then suffer the legal consequences.

Non-judgmentalism has been taken to ridiculous lengths. You were RIGHT in saying what you said! It's scary how many young people these days have no sense of morality. Part of it is lack of parental influence and part is society in general that promotes a victim outlook to life.
I hope the pendulum swings back to sanity soon. The June Cleaver era of the 1950's was by no means ideal but at least most kids were actually raised by their parents and there was a clear sense of right and wrong.

I know you did the right thing by making him realize what he did but by doing that you violated Mylot guideline that you cannot say bad things to user's. I know hearing that thing surely makes us angry but we should avoid going against Mylot. You should have taunted him or told him something indirectly but not like that.
Just take care of it and try not to do it in the Future.

In different places there are different answers for the same doings. In the US it seems to be against the law to spank a child if he is not behaving. In mine, in spite of laws protecting child from abuse, parents can spank the child´s butt if needed. I agree with that but my daughters have never touched anyone of their children. Sometimes I think they should have. And I love my grandchildren.

I believe in children´s rights, but I also believe in grown up´s rights

Sometimes the rules in a forum is a bit odd. Their right might be wrong and vice versa. Well, what you've posted is a bit off so it really should be deleted but I'm sure about you getting penalized. I think they went over the line with that one.

Ok, it was a bit harsh but after all the responses saying basically" Yea, go for it!" it needed to be. How else would you go about showing your displeasure in someone's complete lack of morals especially when everyone else on there was supporting them?

You could have said it in a way that expresses your displeasure and at the same time conforms to the forum rules. I'm sure there's a way to do that.

Sorry sweetie.
But that was a good one.
I would love to see that beating, though.
I won't say a swift kick in the pants though.
Anyway, society is a bunch of retards lately.
I see that each day.
Ignore them even if you were penalized.
Don't sink to their level.
TATA.

Even though he admitted to being dishonest and bragged about it, most forums will not penalize him. It was a misdemeanor as you describe it. It would make me want to figure out a way to divulge his secret to his victims. I am sure you were penalized for the tone, not the content. I agree, it hardly seems right.You did stand up for the moral behavior, though.

Steve Harvey just said this in his show a few days ago, and it holds true here; even if you feel completely justified, you never want to retaliate against someone, because its usually the person that retaliates that gets caught. In sports, its usually the guy that throws the second punch in a fight that gets called with the penalty.
You know wishing violence is against MyLot TOS, regardless if you felt this is what the person deserved. After hearing the story myself, I don't agree with this guy's moral code either, but wishing harm to him is wrong also. You have been here long enough, and from what I know have enough common sense to know on some level you deserved some sort of penalty for that kind of response.

That's part of the problem though. If you don't retaliate & they suffer no penalty then they get away with it & can continute to get away with it. That's just empowering dishonest people.
Yes my wording was a bit rough. Perhaps I should have said he deserved a good spanking with a belt which is what I would have had if I'd have done something like that at his age. You should see the rest of the responses though. Gez they all but tell him do go ahead & do it.

Kinda like burglars suing their victims because they got injured/shot. They are using technicalities now, not morals! Lawyers defending their client even though they are guilty of the charge, but can find a way to get around it. 
I have been a victim by minor offences on some other forums too, and just like you, I was just speaking my mind base on morals. So what I did is play their own game. I would read every post they(jerks) make and find the smallest fault they made and report them!
