Take a step back and please look at the evolution of this.. as we can see from all of this discussion it must me easy to point finger at al adult and and gripe about horrible of a crime it is, than take the time to educate the little ones in your neighborhood before they get caught up in such horrible activities... |
I'm going to jump in here with my Nikes on....I agree some what in your theory, kids need the proper guidance from birth, what their exposed to growing up is sometimes regarded as "normal " to them,.... but
The lengths people will go to to avoid responsibility is so amazing to me, we are all becoming "Victims of Some Kind of Abuse/ChildhoodTrauma Club" these days...
From what I've read Vick did not do this as a child. He started this as an adult.People do bad things because they get "good vibes" from doing them. This is not a disease or a result from any "confusion" on his part of what is acceptable by society. This is a
character issue, plain and simple.
Everything he did was by a conscience choice... right, wrong, moral, immoral, compassionate, or selfish. Do what you want then justify. I for one
will never believe this man didn't know any better. He did these horrific things for
five years! I bet he knew enough to only tell certain individuals about what he was doing off the field. We have a responsibility to
choose our behaviors. He was not under some uncontrollable force which he couldn't escape...
If you still want to offer him a free pass on this all I have to say on that is.....Everyone must overcome something....that simply is life....To suggest that your history is your destiny and that we are created by our past is an insult to the capacity of human beings to overcome obstacles....What happens in our childhoods is not our faults, but how we handle it is our responsibility....
