If these young athletes did the wrong thing and got themselves in trouble, then they should be punished. BUT...when the punishment has been fulfilled, they should be able to return to normal activities (including College football). Get off of your high horse and quit making idiotic comments that have not been thought out just because you have a "beef" with what many, many, many colleges do regarding "second chance" players. The Lamar staff never said it is more important to WIN at ALL COST, nor have they portrayed that stance with their actions. You are exaggerating to make a point. If you don't like the choices they have made, simply state that. Otherwise, don't crucify someone for the rest of their life when their debt has been paid. Let us all thank God that he forgives those of us that ask for it, and that we are not condemned forever (except maybe in your mind) to damnation for our indiscretions and wrongdoings. Wasn't this thread about Nederland kids, anyway?
Guest 58SHW Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Yes, Ned kids who were drinking or had been and got caught (even if was due to further stupidity of posting it) and the extention of those action as to how others attending the same party (and others) were NOT so lucky.Several has stated that had the OF kids been there kids...then heads would roll....etc etc etc.So..had the Ned kids fallen, and been killed would that change the blame from kids being kids to HANG the home owner. The point is everyone wants to take one road if it seems "innocent enough" no one got hurt, its kids being kids......but had those kids died or killed someone else....then crucify someone else because its their fault.As stated, as young as 14 you can be accountable as an adult.Just answer this question (this is to anyone, and everyone) if these were your kids....would you treat the situation differently as it happened than you would had they been killed, or killed someone else, maybe even killed your kid while driving on their way to the school.Why and/or why not?

I don't think anyone has stated that this should be swept under the rug but this thread is about the Ned. kids caught on the doggie dome not about the OF kids. Someone just brought them into the fray and I think you are taking what we are saying about the Ned. kids and putting it with the OF kids which is not the case. It is a separate incident and totally different. We can what if all day long about the Ned. kids but nothing happened to any of them they are still alive so for me there is no comparison.Also all of my statements are about the Ned. kids. Apparently you have a problem with their punishment or something, I am not sure. I still don't see why you are beating a dead horse on this issue.
PN-G bamatex Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I just want to clarify something real quick. Per a very reliable source, the OF kids that died in that tragedy were not coming home from a party in Port Neches, or anywhere else in Mid-County. If they were ever at the party in question (which I doubt providing my information is correct, and I find it hard to believe otherwise), they had left long before the car accident.In any case, I think it's time for this conversation to end. I agree that kids need to be taught about consequences and that examples like these should be used to convince them to think twice, but an argument on an internet message board does nothing to that end and many of the persons in question are minors.

PNGFan Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Today's society in parenting, there is usually no consequences to their children's actions.Back in the day, if that would've been me my dad would've taken me behind the wood shed and beat the hell out of me. BUT in todays society, its kids just being kids so it makes it okay.There is too much pure pressure for kids today to succeed and be popular that we over look these are just kids.This thread should've been locked from the beginning, because these are just kids!!!
coach pops Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 There's been a whole lot of holier than thou BS about this whole incident. I don't know if these kids have been reinstated to play or not. IF they have it ain't gonna make a rats #$% to the outcome of this game. The guys playing in their places are just as capable and athletic as the two suspended. Now there is a huge conspiracy in an attempt to win a football game. If they didn't play another down this year that would be ok with me. These things are not coaching decisions so whoever has a problem with whether or not they are allowed to participate needs to nut up and call out the school board and supt. I've spent a lot of time with hundreds of boys in sports and know how capable kids are in making bad choices. Some of those choices were in mutual agreement of their girlfriends if you get my drift. The whole deal is about life lessons. People are not perfect. Those who are so judgemental need to review your lives and those of your kids. If you have no kids or never worked with other kids how is an opinion even justified. This would have never been news if those boys weren't in athletics. The folks that made this public need a boot in their ***. Forgive, forget and mind your own business. This thread should have been killed weeks ago. I'm done with this deal. Everyone let it go and get a perfect life. Put your rose colored glasses on and watch nick at night or something suitable to your intellect.

However their is a such thing as "wreckless driving" at speeds and manuvers that would fall into the category of putting others lives in danger.Again, to each their own....defending the behavior as "kids will be kids" as it pertains to THIS situation is equally as stupid to those who have lost loved ones or friends to the likeness of irrisponsible decisons of others. And yes it is an "if", but IF any of those kids had fallen and died it would be a different song being sang.Even if I'm the ONLY one who sees it this way, I stand by my belief. I've had my say...I'm outGood luck Ned and boys!
