I don't need to ask him. I've read the thread and there is nowhere that Ibram states that partying is something teenagers don't do.

So again, what's your point?

IB: Yes, because it's definitely a teenage issue, not a rich people being stupid issue, or a stupid people telling stupid people issue, or a counterculture/anticulture issue, or a recurring internet-related problem like the bottom of the story actually SAID or anything... Yep, totally just teenagers' faults, like everything, damn punk kid slut bitches.
And there you have it.

There you have what?

If I read it litterally, it just confirms the opposite of what you accused him of.

If I read it as intended, he's saying that parties out of control are not just teeagers and that there are a lot of other scenarios that haven't been mentioned.

Are you kidding? he confirms what I said. Teens are often out of control.

I'd work on the reading comprehension if I were you.

You're welcome Ibram. It's always a bitch when someone misquotes others.

sounds like it !


I don't know how such things are handled there but these days with the zero tolerance laws in my state makes it very expensive for minors and their parents to get the law involved.

I wish it were as sensible as 'guidance' when the law is involved but it really seems like a police state...esp when minors are involved at least it is here anyway.

Well the cops here gave them a fair go. There was no battering or anything like that. They just cruised around telling them to move along. Basically dispersing the crowd as much as possible. The ones who refused to go or were abusive towards them were the ones that were arrested. Probably half a dozen or so suffered this fate.

I think they did a good job or sorting it out.

Well now that's Ib, Ali and I who understand Ib's statement and just Merc who doesn't get it. Any more voters?

...Oh wait -Merc is a USC in the US. We forgot to allow for the sarcasm/humour bypass.....

When read without this comprehension tool, he's right. It's worrying that he isn't the only one with this disability. Question is, should we allow him a special parking pass?
