ORIGINAL: BitaTruble quote:
except in self-defense Ah, and does any one of us, or even Prin know that it wasn't a case of self-defense? Maybe the daughter threw the first punch. Without hearing 'his' side, I wouldn't be prepared to make a judgement on it one way or the other. Exactly. I know Prin personally, as I've said before she's got some issues, but not as many as some people here think because she is such a unique individual, and while she has many talents she is not all seeing and omnipresent and despite her Buddhism is still some way from attaining nirvana. She's human, fallible, prone to errors of judgment. I am too but my judgment on this thread was never really clouded - it was just biased. In her favour. But like Bita I refuse to draw any definite conclusion or offer any real opinion on her daughter, the boyfriend and what happened between them, because like Prin and everyone else I wasn't there, I didn't witness the relationship firsthand. But this much I can say and this much I'm prepared to share. At 14 I committed a burglary. I broke into a house and ransacked it, and cleared it of every single valuable possession. twice I entered that house armed with a pick axe handle. Had the occupant not been on holiday he might have been dead now. But then again, had the occupant not been a policeman and a member of the Burglary Squad I would have had a criminal record. At 15 I ran away from home, successfully. This was my final year in school (I left school at sixteen) but I spent my time sleeping around in London sometimes working, but I was a 'chicken', I was underage and going off and sleeping with men who picked me up at London's Kings Cross railway station just to have somewhere to stay. I lied about my age, sometimes I was 17, sometimes I was 19. i sucked cock, I took it up the back, I was also beaten, whipped, pissed on, and I spent a lot of time crossdressing. People automatically condemn paedophiles. I don't, and I don't because once I was 'the other side of the story'. I'm not justifying paedophilia in any way, but just indicating that just maybe there is another side. Fortunately I got caught, recognized and captured by an undercover drugs cop one night at Kings Cross station. I gave in, temporarily and in contrast to my previous three years of education - mainly playing truant, I applied myself studied hard and completed my basic education. I so wanted away from my parents. I left home at 16, from which time I have been living independently. You see at 16 you are an adult, that's what you think. But you're not. You're just a big kid. I don't care what anyone says, it's not a gender thing, nobody at 16 is an adult. But at 16 you genuinely believe you are an adult, and you want independence and the freedom to make your own decisions and your own mistakes. I might have been put right here had I have had a better relationship with my parents, but the truth is that neither they nor I gave a toss. So like a lot of teenagers who aren't given that freedom and independence from my parents I simply took it. Two weeks after my 16th birthday I was back in London on my own, with my father's consent under the guardianship of a family friend. I'm just kind of sitting here wondering just how many of you out there, including the parents among you, assuming I was 16 again, just how many of you would have passed judgment and written me off. Not a biggie, really, because an awful lot of people have passed judgment on me and many have written me off. And I have proved so many of those people wrong simply through becoming who I am today. Something to think about perhaps?
