Re: Fitz, Pledger Arrested
I am sorry, but Denver is correct...and the sentiment is likewise correct.
TU ... you misunderstand the motivation. It's normally not borne of peer pressure, but of boredom combined with a juvenile system of morals. Consequences aren't a consideration until the concept of mortality has emerged (at which point the behavior can start to be classified as anti-social and eventually psychopathic). They want an item or the thrill of swiping an item and their moral system doesn't outweigh the feeling yet so they do it.
There's a lot more to criminal behavior than just peer pressure and throwing people in jail or giving up on them.
And Denver, enough with the "Like anybody else here has never done anything wrong."
I'm sick of seeing that whenever a college athlete gets in trouble.
No, I highly doubt that most of us here have ever been arrested before.
I can only speak for myself, but I know I have never shoplifted before.
The "kids being kids" argument is tired.
