A mirror with a bottle:
Edited on Tue Aug-09-11 08:42 PM by originalpckelly


Mirror with a stolen sweater:


The real question is what the hell is wrong with this world, not what's wrong with the kids. They only learn from us, right? It's not like some alien species came down to Earth and raised them, we raised them. Seems like everyone forgets about that part when they get in trouble. But everyone wants to take credit when they do well, right?

"Oh yeah, I raised that boy!"
"Really, you should be proud."

"Is this your son, Ma'am?"
"No, I have no idea who he is. Looks like a ruffian though. Get him out of my sight!"

And you know, no one talks about the other problems. These kids will go to jail, right? But what about the people who order strikes on other people in foreign countries that kill civilians?

Collateral damage.

Where are the police for those people?

3. The children of the world are a mirror of the world.
They only do as we teach them. I think that's not all that hard to understand, but perhaps for others it is.

They are clay, they are what you make of them.

And in one part of this world, the clay is not formed into beautiful pottery, but a broken shard.

6. Well they've learned from the rich, corporations and politicians
if you want something, just take it. Chances are no one will hold you responsible. Of course, examples will be made of a few select individuals.
