Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] Re: crime stats/list contention

Thanks Pam for being able to supply "facts" which I could not quote even
though I have heard and read them in the past.
LOL I am sitting here now, wondering what "argument" this will bring forth.
Not that I consider it a contest but because it is obvious there are people
here who will disagree with anything that is said by just about anybody.
Seems to me there are a few very unhappy people on this list who
continuously like to jab at everybody and their thoughts, or opinions. They
are determined to stir up things.
It is really a shame because this could be a very beneficial list for most
people but others like to make it a miserable place to be. Misery loves
company and all that.

Nope, I am not directing anything at anybody. I have stated my opinion on
the crime thing and that is all I really have on it, just my opinion.
I shouldn't have gotten so *La-Ti-Dah* about the entire thing. I apologize
if I have offended anybody.
I also apologize for being *disruptive* to this group.
I have been corrected and am trying to keep quiet now.
I have said enough. Some appreciated it, some did not.
