- Angostura, on 07/14/2008, -1/+7Another deeply crap article from the Daily Fail:
From the headline: "Children are born to know right from wrong, new research shows"
From the text: "Scientists revealed that children from seven to 12 can understand when another person is suffering"
So, unless you are squeezing a 7-year old through your cervix, you are unlikely to be giving birth to an empathetic child.
So should I bury it as inaccurate or lame? Inaccurate, I think. - rinpoche, on 07/14/2008, -1/+2Another reason why organized religion is irrelevant. People can learn morality without dogma.

Thus, young persons in conflict with the law type legislation needs to reflect this and punish accordingly (in many cases, these punishments are seen to be lenient to an ignorant public).

Which is why I believe the punishment should be no less strict. Then they'll know.
