You know something, I really like you, and your forwardness, and your humorous posts. In this instance, I wish you would remember you are talking to and about a 16 year old child. I am sure she is not nearly as educated about chickens as some people on this forum are. Hence, I am asking you to give her a break and try to be kind with your words. Please.
I dont think I was being rude. But I am not going to treat a 16 year old as a child. Especially one that is grown up enough to get on the news an tell how she concocted a plan to bring a large bag to school so she can steal government property. I think she should have been charged, not given the option to pay for the bird. Theft is never the right thing. Telling her she did the right thing is just going to encourage her to go out an do something worse an more drastic next time she sees something she doesn't like.
I never said you were rude. Please read my words again. All I did was encourage you to be kinder to a youthful person. Whether you like it or not, 16 is not experienced in life. And I can tell you of some REALLY elaborate plans I had as a 14 year old to get what I wanted..... Right? No. Did I do it? Yes. Would I now, 50/50 there.
