Thread Name: BS: Irresponsible Journalism?
Subject: RE: BS: Irresponsible Journalism?
You mean these kids really had no idea that what they were doing was not only WRONG but illegal?!? Being hauled into court was a big surprise?

What ARE they being taught? And by whom? That because they're important football players they can do any damned thing they want (including posting photos of their crime on Facebook) and there are NO consequences? That no matter how outrageous their behavior, they won't end up in jail and tagged with "Sex Offender" for the rest of their lives?

Yes, the journalism in this case is irresponsible. And not teaching kids of either sex the difference between right and wrong is irresponsible. And keeping them ignorant of the fact that having sex with someone incapable of giving consent is both wrong and illegal is irresponsible.

That the lack of respect for another human being is irresponsible.

All that being said, why did no one teach the young woman how to drink and how dangerous (in a lot of different ways) it can be to drink to the point of passing out?
