I hope someone puts this on a static website with their names so future employers can find it easily
I use to have this way to thinking but then we are encouraging people not to change. This is a group of kids maybe raised wrong maybe thinking it's okay to joke about so should this ruin the rest of their lives? Should they not be given the chance to do better and learn from this? It's not murder and nobody was harmed by it. Being offended isn't traumatizing.
At what point is the punishment fitting the crime in a case like this. We've learned posting this to social media already effects people long term so wouldn't just posting it here be enough since they may have also been reprimanded by their community.
That's fair i guess. I did some stupid shit as a kid but I'm also a completely different person than 40 years ago. Otoh i never did anything quite like this. Id hope their eyebrows burn off from the backlash and they learn at least.
If society has gone a different direction what you did do may have been just as condemnable.
The difference is 40 years ago when i lacked better judgement, i didn't do things that were condemnable and they still aren't to this day.
These kids have done something current date that is condemnable. Maybe they just weren't raised right and can turn their lives around but it's not quite the same situation. What they did will always have been bad at the time they did it.
But it didnt and I'm glad because we shouldnt let people be racist. What's your point here? R u js pulling a "what if some things were worse" cause they are, racism is far from the worst thing u can do today. I'm taking a guess and saying they probs didnt murder anyone as a teen. now I'd hope u could agree that is a step too far that being a dumb kid doesnt justify same deal w racism
