38. No, what we're arguing here is whether or not it is morally responsible
To double dog dare a kid to throw his body onto the pyre of war. And yes, legally, physically, psychology and emotionally, this is still a kid we're talking about. His actions in taping the teacher show that if nothing else, that's a disgruntled kid's stunt(not to mention he isn't legally allowed to join the military until he's eighteen). But instead of folks around here acting like adults, and actually contacting the people who matter, the ones who can take action, ie the principle and superintendant, no, we're out trolling MySpace, goading this kid into sacrificing all to this immoral war, just so we can feel superior. Gee, it all seems pretty damn childish to me.

So yeah, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
