“in 20 years, she will be fat, wrinkled, or forgettable.”

And so will you, most likely. Men never think it happens to them, which is dillusional. And annoying.

“Men never think it happens to them [fat, wrinkled, ugly], which is delusional.”

As a man I agree. I got my wake up 19 years ago pushing my twin daughters to the check-out lane one Christmas. I drew in my stomach a bit as I approached the cute, young check-out gal. “Oh - how darling!!! Are you their Grandfather!”

Sigh, as my stomach relaxed.

Of course, after 20 years those delusions remain!

I think this whole approach is a bit off topic. Teen boys can be jerks, teen girls can be jerks. It doesn't mean that people deserve to be killed over it. As a kid - sure I wanted to exact revenge on other kids. I would make up all sorts of plans. (Bombs thrown through their bedroom windows was usually at the top of the list). Never did act on any of them.

Not to say that spontaneous reactions to a slight never happened - but those were usually with a lot of pushing and shoving. Well - a length of pipe once - but I was on the receiving end of that. (Yes - he was one I dreamt of tossing a bomb through his window).

What restrained me was some sense of God, and that it was wrong. Also that I would get in a heck of a lot of trouble from my old man.

I think that is why this evil stuff happens so much these days. Kids have NO sense of Godly right and wrong, and the idea of guilt; and also parents that don't teach their kids right and wrong, with discipline being one of the forms of teaching it.

Jesus.

It’s like some of you are seriously trying to play like you have no damn idea what what point is, and instead are trying to take it personally.
