Have no clue what bible you are reading to raise your child by but I didn't need a bible to tell me when my kids were wrong or did something that should be looked into seriously. This kid has all the earmarks of being another serial killer if not worse. And yes---"where in h*ll were the parents?" My 7 yr olds were never out of my sight except when in school or playing nearby with friends, mostly at our place for some reason. Probably for my cookies that I kept baking.
Regardless of how this child will turn out in the future I believe the parents are the ones to blame for this. 7 frickin' years old!! I mean, I grew up out in the country so I was out playing in the woods, but I always had big brother or sister watching me. I'd like to know how he broke into the zoo. Or even how he had the thought to do it in the first place. Perhaps he has older siblings??
Poor animals, and poor child. :(
So, someone is a "leftie" because they don't agree with you? And are either reasons valid for being negative? And too quick to judge? How so? He did something wrong and that's going to be judged. Seems like the right time. Or should we wait until it's something bigger? There is wisdom to be gained from many sources, one being common sense, and that is what I would use to raise my child.
At any rate! I do feel the need to echo "where are the parents". Who lets their seven year old run around will nilly at night? What kind of things are the parents teaching him that he thinks it is okay to BASH IN THE HEAD of another living being(s)? How did he manage to break in to the zoo? He is a child but hopefully not beyond help, I don't think. He needs to know that killing ruthlessly for no reason is NOT okay.
ANd where was Bindi during all this?
MY parents used a bible to raise us.Quote:

Indeed. It kind of makes you wonder, especially when the child does such frightening things.Quote:

They spite the bible & anything it stands for... So to me this is by far not an overly positive thing...
So in my opinion it doesn't matter if there is a bible in the house of not. A lot of it seems to be on the bond of child & parent & the good teachings from the parents.
My dad thought it was crazy to teach us about the bible... He raised me with his own wisdom, taught me right & wrong, & taught me to see things from the others shoes.. I pretty much live by that & I was by far more accepting to that method then being made to obey something that I cannot see, something that wont help me, something that wont talk to me, something that wont hold me, something that wont protect me, & something that wont punish me... Those are all things kids need, & I'm sorry the bible/god just can't do that. But a loving parent can... So religion doesn't mean how a child will turn out. Its all on how the parent loves & teaches their child to be a good human being in our society.
I'm by far not bashing religion or anything. I'm a full Roman Catholic but I'm a non-beliver & a non-follower now that I have the choice. However I respect all religions & don't judge people from one religion to the other. My boyfriend is willing to celebrate my "fun family holidays" (like christmas, & easter) with me, & I'm slowly learning about his religion & I respect it & will do what I need to do with him when those things occur... I spent time with him on his Jewish Newyear, & I look forward to others.. but he has the same kinds of views i do.. Holidays are for family/friend get togethers & to have fun/appreciate everyone.
but anyways.. that kids needs a swift kick in the pants for what he did :mad: I'm also sure he didn't realize how bad of a thing he had done. As I'm sure he had seen that happen somewhere & was mimicing someone. Or someone was talking on how they kill the gator's food & thats why he was bashing the lizards heads in & feeding some to the gator...
I have a strong feeling he honestly was wanting to feed the gator. Regardless he needs to be taught what he did was VERY wrong & that the gators food doesn't come from pets. But specially raised feeder animals, but only the special ones, not all of that kind of animal.
<sigh>
How did I know this was the reaction that would happen once the Bible was mentioned?
I'd venture to say that a vast majority of "Bible Thumper" raised children were raised by parents who did not take ALL the wisdom into account. All they look at is the "spare the rod, spoil the child" stuff. They sadly miss parts like...
Colossians 3:21 "Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, lest they be discouraged."
This means that parents should be easy to please. Do not set unrealistic expectations. Push them to be their best, but do not punish them if they do not succeed. The goal is a responsible and caring adult, not a sports star, etc. Let the child be themselves. DO not live YOUR life through them.
I could go on... But I know it won't matter to most of ya.
Puck if you hate it so much here...as you don't mind name calling and such you can change the channel.
I am not run to run away from the fight. ;)Quote:

Why do you people always try to get me to go away? That only makes me want to stay. It means you are paying attention. So, now, if you STOP paying attention, that speaks even more.
Look, I am not trying to be a jerk. But I am very passionate about these things and sometimes that passion gets the best of me. If I am trying to offend you, I will tell you because that is how I roll. You never have to wonder what I am thinking because I have and always will wear my heart on my sleeve.
So, we can have honest discussion, or we can continue to bash Palin for trivial things. But it would be neat if one of you would comment on the things I posted in my "The Economy" thread. Both items I posted are very well sourced and things you just are not seeing in the media.
Does that make you stop to wonder why? Even for a second?
Well I just know you can't be all bad because I have great admiration for the gal that picked you but sometimes you get on my nerves to be honest:D
:) Richard sounds like you know how the binder feels.. This is not the Zoo that Steve Irwin & family operated.. So little Bindi was no where around.. I do agree with Donna in where is this kid's Parents.. The kid was what 7 years old.. Horribly Disgusting..Quote:

I don't see things in black and white so I like to hear what people on both sides of the fence have to say I think both parties are full of bs....
my humble opinion... (this reminds me of Dexter, teh Tv series)... letīs just hope this kid gets attention and direction to turn back to righteousness
yes, this kid is damaged... what he did is plain cruel, but who is his sane mind leaves a 7yr old wander off like that... if it was day time and my parents were there WITH ME... ok I could wander but NOT out if sight... now at night.. and breaking someplace... helloooo parents... where were you??..
I too was a 7yr old.. and i did bottled bugs, take lizards tails (later on i learned tey dropped them but still), I ripped grasshoppers legs.... but I NEVER NEVER bashed an animals head to death... am I a serial killer .... no!.. I love animals.. and yes I did some bad things but not AS bad as this kid did...
if he wanted to feed the croc... ask teh zoo-keeper... some zooīs let you feed certain animals... but wanting things doesnīt necesarily mean you HAVE to do them...
if I want a diamond ring from a shop... I donīt go breaking in and stealing it... I save money so I can buy it.. so it the right way...
feeding a croc this way wasnīt... there are ways to do things... and one should know even by age 7 when a thing is right or wrong....
breaking into a place is enough wrong...
