“Geez, what are they teaching these days?”
Maybe it’s what they are NOT teaching them? How many of these kids are taken to church? Wanna bet not at all? My grandmother always said “take your kids to a church that teaches the kids about Jesus Christ” and you know what? she was correct!!
Yes I think these kids “don’t really know” on some level. They think it is some video game and the person will just magically pop back up. Don’t you all know these kids spend thousands of hours playing violent video games and not even 1 hour a week in a church? Even if they do make it to a church one day a week to you think that is enough to undo the violence done by the games? Then there is the crap they get in schools, tv and media. Yea I have to believe on some level they don’t know because parents are not parents anymore.

You and I are writing about two different things.
I see that you’re saying that moral values should be instilled and that things such as video games and public schools are bad for children, and those are good points.
However, I wasn’t writing about higher functioning capabilities of people. I was pointing out that all humans, barring, of course, those with extreme abnormalities, know why they do things, so “I don’t know” simply is not an acceptable answer to a proper authority’s questioning “Why?”.
For example, a newborn, before receiving moral guidance and if he could speak, would be able to answer if asked “Why are you crying?” by saying “I’m hungry.”
