I would hate to think that my daughter would be so bored or so desperate for money that she felt the need to rob a bank.  Be that as it may, if they are lucky these girls will be tried as juveniles, however, as this is a felony automatically because they robbed a bank, I can see where they will try (and most likely succeed) in trying these girls as adults.

While I can see the humor in the whole thing, I just can't laugh about it.  If it were my child it would break my heart.

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, and you can't make a Discordian Saint™ without breaking children.  Or so I am told.

Also, it's all for the best.  Regret tells me this will be a positive experience for the little bastards, as they will have many educational experiences as they get their heads kicked in for their desert every day in the mess hall.

... um, Regret was also being facetious.

My bad.  It's so hard to tell, these days.

Sorry, Regret.

It might be somewhat of a Dutch thing, not quite sarcasm, just facetiousness. I learned not to do it too often on this board, because it would get misinterpreted too often.

And I met Regret IRL, he didn't really strike me as the person who would truly believe getting raped in prison is a good form of education :)

Or maybe I'm just oblivious to being surrounded by idiots being sarcastic about their facetiousness :?

facetious
   1. Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.

flippant
   1. Lacking respect or seriousness, showing levity; pert.


No seriously, this is just a Dutch thing?

Or is it just something that requires conflicting body language to be acceptable and is thus unsuited for text only communication?

i'm not sure! all I know is that I have gotten in trouble for defending people who I thought were being facetious but then turned out to be shitheads after all. this was long ago and I learned to trust Roger's judgement in these cases the hard way :-)

i have posted on other international boards, but here I noticed for the first time. so it could also be a european thing. or a non-american thing. or also very likely, that Discordians are generally less likely to ignore it and will speak up about it, when other people do ignore it because it doesn't make sense to them, or if it did they'd rather not have any strife about it. you know how that goes.

the few other Dutch I have seen come and go on this forum most probably were shitheads*--a shame really--so I don't have a lot of data to go about.

* Morn for sure, Agrippa maybe not could go either way but he's as good as gone, so I dunno.

Anyway my point was that the public shool system is so bad, even going to prison is better.
With this i don't mean that prison actually is better.
Prison is badwrong, especially in the US.
Not as fun now :(

Am i clear now?
I've gotten a bit uncertain now.

Hey, let's not get out of hand.  A fair number of robberies go unsolved.  And kids that age are harder to pick out in a lineup.  I give them fair odds at scot free, if they play it cool and launder the money properly.

Keep dreaming.  These kids are toast.

Because if they DO get away with this one, Kruger/Dunning gets its way, and they'll do it again.
I was wondering what this "Kruger/Dunning" thing was you mentioned (It's Dunning–Kruger on wiki btw), learn something new every day, and yes, I can see what you mean about that happening to those two girls.

Still, you never know, they might just realize they just barely got away with something incredibly stupid and learn fast.

I am interested to know though what would have motivated them to do it in the first place...
Drug money? Is one of them sick and needs an operation? Did tehy do it on a dare? Did their parents force them?

This is quite an unusual case, and if they ever get caught, there might be quite an unusual story behind it that, if painted right, might see them get off with minimal punishment.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Um, so we should put all of our kids in prison?
