    The general decline in standards today

    If it's not questionable and legal, why would some states opt to enact "Stand Your Ground" laws?

    By me, no. Legally, yes. Each state has its own legalities of self-defense.

    The general decline in standards today

    Oh, please. No one is suggesting that people go up to grieving parents and say: "You shouldn't have brought your kid! Bad parent!" These are public forums where we are discussing the issue of young kids at adult themed movies.

    The general decline in standards today

    On Friday, Heather Spohr at Babble called on everyone to stand behind the parents in Colorado, and to not judge them for their parenting decisions. Spohr lost her 17-month-old daughter, Madeline, in 2009 from complications related to Madeline's premature birth. “I’m going to say this as...

    Which is also why young children shouldn't watch this film which can further desensitize them to and glamorize violence.

    No, it's not always about nurture. Nature is fact, too. Some people are born being predisposed to psychopathic behavior. Antisocial personality, on the other hand, is mostly about nurture. Read Robert Hare's work with psychopaths and his findings. In the case of the massacre, he made many...

    "Calculation and deliberation" for months (http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/22/justice/colorado-theater-shooting/) is the hallmark of an evil mind, not someone mentally ill. I was very disturbed by what his mother said. Did she alert anyone about his known antisocial behavior since she wasn't...

    Would that have been legal? Not every state has a "stand your ground" law.

    Separate from the massacre, what about the issue of parents bringing their very young kids to watch a very violent PG-13 flick? And at midnight?

    The general decline in standards today

    My husband and I were in a restaurant for brunch on Sunday. The boy sitting in the booth behind me looked to be about ten. He was banging on the table, singing aloud and horribly and being a general nuisance. His parents did nothing to stop him. Then a couple they knew came over to their table...

    Try addressing this, which was in the initiating post by the OP: Talking about this later on a discussion came up about the general decline in standards and examples shown to children these days compared to 30-40 years ago. The opinion was that these days both parents have to work so leaving...

    We have new worries as the world has never been so interconnected and reliant upon electricity, the internet, etc. We've never been so vulnerable to a global collapse. We now have genetically modified organisms aka GMOs or "food" that are forever changing our food supply and ecosystems in...
