I used "eh" as a casual interjection signifying a questioning of what you said. Basically I didn't agree with your line of reasoning about protection of our children. Your post sarcastically indicates the onus is only on the government:



That suggests because the government is trying to protect students in regards to one subject matter and location that they are obligated and must protect children in all areas including viewing material while under the control and supervision of their own parents.

I was merely questioning that sentiment and subsequently sharing the idea that parenting should be more involved in actually shaping their children's lives if they feel something is inappropriate for them to view. I wasn't faulting you for letting your children watch ABC family. I was pointing out that if after watching it, you deem the material to be inappropriate, there are steps to be taken to remedy the situation.

But if you want to base an entire hissy fit over an interjection that merely signifies a questioning tone similar "huh" then that's your prerogative.

And as far as me being "off-topic." I was simply responding to a post that was relevant in the thread.
Eh

Pointing a gun = assault. Pulling the trigger = intent to kill. Legally a DA would have a problem proving intent to kill, which would mean the guy walks. Hence the lesser charge.

It may be a little messed up, but makes sense to me. I'd have a problem with anyone that ever pulled a knife or gun, especially in cases of self-defense, being charged with attempted murder.

I guess that kid should have cowered in his seat and waited for the authorities to arrive with the body bags.

We voted for those in charge or those who hired those in charge, we have no one to blame but ourselves. It is only going to get worse.
