young people should be entitled to change their identity

Seems reasonable. It worked for this guy.

what's the old saying? something like, “when you make your bed you have to sleep in it!”

Why do kids need to text on cell phones or be on Facebook or similar pages? They must have seen bad stuff happen to others or heard about it.

In the United States, people can already change their names when they reach adulthood. Go to the courthouse, pay a fee ...

Or you could just not screw up your life in the first place. Almost every problem today is caused by people wanting to be excused from the consequences of making bad choices. Unprotected sex - get an abortion. Drop out of high school and render yourself unemployable - go on welfare. Get fat and render yourself uninsurable - pass laws to require other people to pay for your medical care. Buy a house you can't afford - the government will bail you out. GM builds an electric car that they can't sell at the cost of manufacture, the government forces taxpayers to subsidize them.

In the last 24 hours on FR threads i have seen a person refuse to relocate to save his job and then complain when he can't find another one a year later. Another Freeper attacked anyone who dared criticize a man who lived in government subsidized housing for the last 74 years then complained when he was throw out for someone that the government deemed to be more needy. He could have bought the house years ago at 50% market but decided not to.

When will we demand that people take responsibility for the bad choices that they make?

What a bunch of Schmidt!

Maybe if parents weren’t so derelict in their responsibilities, their children would not spend years as such complete losers doing stupid things. The ‘dump-em-in-school/warehouse/daycare’ crowd has only themselves to blame for this ‘problem.’
