Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snattlerake" data-source="post: 3756882" data-attributes="member: 44288">I was not the goody two shoes growing up.  I tried to be. I tried to do good works but sometimes my ******* overloaded my common sense.I paid for those instances greatly by paddling, hard work, and/or financial restitution. Destruction of property was not in my bag of tricks.  If I did anything like that, it was totally by accident but due again to my acute dumbassery.  In the few instances I was involved in schoolyard fights, it was my alligator mouth severely overloading my bluebird ass which usually got kicked.I paddled my kids when they really screwed up and they are not into drugs, booze, or have been in close contact with the criminal legal system. In comparing our kids to my wife's sister's kids every day I am alive we thank the Lord that they are not and have turned out the way they did.Watching and listening to the people called during the jury duty voir dire, I was truly dismayed as to the number of people there that had either been arrested or associated with close family that were felons, drug abusers, etc. I would say out of 75 people in the room there were about 55 questioned.  Out of those 55, about 40 of these talked about it like it was just a natural part of their life and their neighborhood.</blockquote>
