Why we don't allow the public to dole out the punishment

[~MP3 Amplifier~]

Keep in mind that I have everlasting grudges against people who write stuff like this, because I've seen and heard people get horrific punishments for just being angry at an airport, so when someone says it directly (sarcastically or not) that they're going to 'bomb' the plane or whatever...it makes me really mad that there's a chance they could get away with it by being grounded and taken off technology for a month. And why would you write that for a 'laugh' anyway, it's not something funny or something to joke about, it actually hurts others. I feel the same when people tell others to go die or whatever; it makes me sick, and then the parents or the site where it was written do nothing about it. *thinking of ask.fm there*

I have a lifelong grudge against people who are this heartless but yeah that's just me.


EDIT: Although...spending a year doing community service I don't think is that bad a punishment. Helping others and the environment can always lead to better things.

I think the ultimate goal of "punishment" is to either a) protect the public from a menace, or b) make someone a better person and convince them not to do this again.

Advocating for her to get raped by the taliban or having her do 20 consecutive years of community service is vengeful wish fulfillment.

Holy crap, if anything this is why I'm losing faith in the parents that don't educate their children what crosses the line in humor and what you say anywhere, be it the internet, in public, or whatever.

Then again it is up to children and teenagers themselves to understand that only they control what they say, and whatever they say has influence. But when parents don't care to help make sure that they understand that, or don't help them grow properly to understand the difference as stated above, then it really sickens me. It almost reminds me of this shooting incident that happened in (I think it was) Connecticut a year or two ago. A young man around the age of 18-21 was tormented psychologically and took up illegal arms and shot a bunch of children and staff at a school. Turns out that the mother never even cared to have asked if he was feeling okay for the past few months. The mother didn't care or bother to talk with him at that time, from what I read that was reported.

And when I look around the younger generation nowadays I'm lucky to have parents that care and help me understand what actions/jokes cross the line and what don't.

I've seen a lot of jokes
That's not a joke
That's a horrible friend.

"I was joking and it was my friend"- firstly, what a ♥♥♥♥♥. Secondly, YOU JUST ADMITTED THAT YOU DID IT.

Gosh, some people...

[Megar]

"I'm not gonna tell my parents, they'll tell me to delete my acc omg that would be the end of my life"

And this is why I worry the most about people today...

Sure, it would be horrible if we didn't have technology or the internet's services, but I mean, come on. There's more colors outside or in your house than there is on an individual screen. You can't just neglect your daily and social life that much.

Hell, people attracted to their phones nowadays... I don't get it. It's not like the world's going to end if you miss out on a tweet from Michael Jordan.

I really hate the notion that all Youth are like that (except for me!!!)

especially considering look at what the ♥♥♥♥ we're doing right now
