i am so sorry if i made you feel i thought you are pro criminal. i never thought any thing close. i know on some cases i see black and white issues where u see shades of gray. it is 1 of the things about you i respect. you habit of looking for good in people and your belief that there can be redemption is a great thing. on some cases you can open my eyes to a side i would not normally look at. i joke about the fact we do not agree but i like that fact. listening to what you have to say gives me a chance to look at my feelings with less of the anger i tend to bring to these cases. i'm sure it must be hard for you on some threads when 20 of us are screaming for blood to be the lone voice on the thread saying wait look at why this happened. when you say it i do look. i have a little more understanding for the parents that forget their kids in the car now. i once thought it did not matter if it was on purpose or accident. thanks to your post i now think it matters. i still think accident should get a small amount of jail time because it is neglect but i can be a project for you to work on. :blowkiss:
I feel no need to work on you at all, sherri! I adore you just the way you are!
I promise that you (no one here, in fact) have never made me feel pro-criminal. As a general rule, I feel very loved and supported by the members here - even if my perspective does not always reflect the majority's. That freedom and respect I feel is one of the things that makes WS such a unique place, IMHO.
It is good for me to hear the anger. Anger is a very honest emotion and I am all about honesty. When I first joined WS, I will admit that I was a little blown away by some of it for a while. But as I have been privileged enough to stick around and get to know some of the many awesome people here, I realize now that the anger comes from a place of loving and caring about those who are brutalized.
I would much rather live in a world where vitriol is heaped upon people who harm others than live in a world where no one cares enough to rage against the injustices!
Everything you people post makes me think - and that's a good thing, lest I be lulled into the false idea that I know it all!
