Perhaps if we're nice they'll go away.... Only a Lad - Oingo Boingo Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell Everyone said if you don't get straight You'll surely go to hell But Johnny didn't care He was an outlaw by the time that he was Ten years old He didn't wanna do what he was told Just a prankster, juvenile gangster His teachers didn't understand They kicked him out of school At a tender early age Just because he didn't want to learn things (Had other interests) He liked to burn things The lady down the block She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad So he took it the first chance he had Then he shot her in the leg And this is what she said Only a lad You really can't blame him Only a lad Society made him Only a lad He's our responsibility Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude Nobody could help The little man had no gratitude And when he stole the care Nobody dreamed that he would Try to take it so far He didn't mean to hit the poor man Who had to go and die It made the judge cry Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused It's not his fault that he can't believe It's not his fault that he can't behave Society made him go astray Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away Perhaps he'll go away He'll go away (Repeat chorus) Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me You get away with murder And you think it's funny You don't give a damn if we live or if we die Hey there Johnny boy I hope you fry!

Your handle and the tenor of your post is proof you do not understand basic human decency.

The Hitler's of the world we crush, but to nice people we are nice.

I am sure the African America's wish people in the south would have been nice to them. For a 100 years they were not nice. And for 200 years before that they were not nice!

So apparently this idea needs to be brought to some people's attention.

And with regard to you, the shoe seems to fit.

Be nice to each other How should we react to a Robespierre, a Hitler, a Stalin, a Pol Pot, a Ceausescu , an American Democrat post Grover? . . . . koan, you poor little turd, I might fear exploding your head if I thought you had a chance of grasping the implications of this semi-facetious question>>

Bankruptcy In The USSA: Detroit Bondholders About To Be GM'ed In Favor Of Pensioners Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2014 - 14:24 First, the Obama administration showed that when it comes to most preferred voter classes in the eyes of the Obama administration, some unsecured creditors - namely labor unions, and the millions of votes they bring - are more equal than other unsecured creditors - namely bondholders, and the zero votes they bring. Five years later we are about to get a stark reminder that under the superpriority rule of a community organizer for whom "fairness" trumps contract law any day, it is now Detroit's turn to make a mockery of the recovery waterfall. As it turns out, bankrupt Detroit is proposing to favor pension funds at roughly double the rate of bondholders to resolve an estimated $18 billion in long-term obligations, according to a draft of a debt-cutting plan reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
