So what ? I don't think they were bothering anybody! Live and let Live! Are we trying to push our lifestyle onto them?Sounds like the OLD local people did'nt understand it,so they condemned it! DAMN! I could'nt blame anyone for wanting to shelter themselves from this NEGRO infested,RAP music playing sewer! What right do we have to tell them that we're right and they are wrong??Always sticking our noses IN where it does'nt belong! Just like everything else in the USA.Can't we all just get along!! Like a wise man once said " you take care of your backyard,and i'll take care of mine" ! Nosey Bastards!!

I say live and let live. (Unless you're a rap music listening to negro.)

So the State of Texas doesn't have the right and obligation to enforce the law? Odd.

(BTW, it's "doesn't" and not "does'nt". The ' goes where letters are left out as the o is left out of the "not" of "does not" when the contraction "doesn't" is produced.)

If is was about consenting adults fine, we would mind our own business, but when it involves the sexual, physical & mental abuse of children, you goddamn bet we will not mind our own business.

Go back to your compound you sick fuck.

Exactly right. Most people were quite happy to let them live their lives so long as all parties are consenting adults.

hey dumb blonde! with all the BAD that is in this country,and they are worried about these people,out there minding their own buisness ! I heard them say that the "supposed girl" was not telling the truth ! Just another way to use a lie,to be nosey ! p.s. go fuck yourself !

The is a moral morass that is engulfing society today which leads to many contradictions.

An old person with MS who wants assisted suicide is ok, but would we apply the same to a 24 year old bipolar?

If a child is abused, we rush to help and rightly so, but what about the abused wife? "He only hit me once today." "He really loves me which is why he apologizes when he beats me when I make him mad."

When our society has no foundation for what it does, we will be vacillate on the definition of right and wrong. When consensus is the basis of right or wrong, right goes to the largest advertising budget.

How intolerant of those Texans not to allow 40 year dirty old men to collect those sweet little teens for their narcisstic pleasure.

it's ok to force sex on children, just as long as you don't force them to listen to rap music?

Always had been... Always will be... But you seem to assume that the consensus about right and wrong is hugely malleable. I don't think that's correct. In fact, I think it's rather clear that our sense of right and wrong springs from and is largely constrained by our biology. That's our foundation. And in the face of that, even the largest advertising budget can only accomplish so much.

I am all for the philosophy of live and let live, but even I draw the line at 50+ year old men fucking 13 year old girls -- and especially ones who have fuck-all to say about which men are fucking them.

Just sayin'

Interesting speculation but completely unsupported. Consider the despotic empires over the centuries. Apparently what we call murder, they considered only another management tool.

"Veni, vidi, vici."

Julius Caesar

Consider Jean Rostand's observation:

"Kill a man one is a murderer; kill a million, a conqueror; kill them all, a God."

PS

The idea that truth is the consensus of values came from the postmodern philosopher Baudrillard. The idea that there is no transcendant truth only self perspective is from Deridda. Their influence has bolstered the libertarian narcissism that is exhibited in groups like FLDS. They created their own consensus of values to feed the narcissm of the 40 year old males. Does that make it truth for them. The flaw in the logic of postmodernism through Deridda all value systems are valid in their own realm. However, if a value system is transcendant than to be valid it must be more than valid in its own realm by tautology. If it is not transcendant than is invalid in every realm including its own. Thuse the postmodernists are full of hot air and little else.

TheRanger! My main complaint is that "ALL" the children were taken away from their Mothers! I personally have no problem at all with these folks living out in their community,doing their own things,their own way! I feel like there was another reason the law invaded this place,other than the excuse they gave us! They just needed some type of reason to go in there and snoop around! Truth is,the Texas lawdawgs are probably gonna take their land and turn it into a retirement comm.!

well, yeah, they did have to take all the kids until this is all sorted out.

So if a "mother" beats one child, leave the other sibling with him? I think not.
