mrnoodle cool. i understand your point. not to knock you but do you have children yourself? if so then that validates your point even more so, if not then, well, call me when you do. i'm not trying to piss you off, really. you say that a child under a certain age is the responsibility of their parents. the columbine idiots were of the reasonable age to be eligable (IMHO) for the death penalty. shit dude, i'd hang them myself if they hadn't of gone out the "cheap way"

No offense taken, but even though I'm not the biological cause of any kids, my opinion is shared by my own parents, my sister (who has 2) and my brother (who has 1), as well as more than one friend and passing acquaintance who have kids.

"Until you have kids, you just don't understand" is valid for some arguments, but not this one. If your kid gets to the point that he or she is able to commit a capital crime, and you were totally clueless about it, you haven't spent enough time with your kids. Hell, if someone's dog kills someone, they face criminal charges, and you want me to believe that your own child's actions are less your responsibility? I just don't buy it.
