It's easy to sit back and pick someone apart when you've never been in their shoes. He's a different person than you or your kids. You don't have to like it, but you also can't expect someone else to live up to your standards. If so you will continually be disappointed.
That is heading down a slippery slope.
So anything goes? "It's okay for Johnny to be an axe murderer, you just don't understand the tough time he had as a kid."
No standards? I hope my kids never have to live in a world with no standards.
Notice I did not say "no standards", I said "your standards". Not yours in particular Texan, but anyone's personal expectations.
There's no slippery slope. We're not talking about criminals here. We're talking about someone showing their enthusiams differently than you or someone else might like. I don't follow how this has any impact on Johnny's future. You went pretty far out there with that one.
