How early would you like to ruin your life?


  Tuesday, September 28, 2004


How early would you like to ruin your life?

Here are two life choices to choose from. 1: At 18, working at McDonald's to pay your way through college (good). 2. At 18, breaking and crawling through a McDonald's drive-through window and setting the place on fire (bad).
 
Another young person who tainted his life through crime. Hopefully, he'll sober up soon. Some time in jail might do the trick.

From http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=2...8&PAG=461&rfi=9:
 
J. Thomas, 18, was arrested Friday night and charged with burglary and arson (first degree), which occurred Sept. 1, according to a Bainbridge Public Safety news release. He was also charged with the July 14 burglary of McDonald’s, as well as a burglary that occurred Friday at Landmark Apartments.(...)
Investigators were led to Thomas after someone anonymously gave his name to the Georgia Arson Hotline operated by the office of Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John Oxendine. They also received a tip Friday that Thomas was attempting to pawn items that had been reported as stolen from Landmark Apartments.

Eventually, he might be able ask the age-old question himself: "You want fries with that?"

Problem
Posted 3/25/2005 12:54:01 PM by Kei-Kei

I think that it's a shame for a young male to just throw his life away for something that could've been avoided. Our younger males need to think about their future because there are too many of them in prison, instead of getting a good education, finding a good job, and being successful in life. This young man could've had a bright future and that's a very BIG problem to see someone just throw his life away instead of being CEO of a company, being a good father and husband, or just saying to himself, "Yes, I did that and proud of what I've accomplished". I know I'm not the only one that thinks that is a problem.
