Re: denial is not admitting you are wrong
But you condemn the former as a character flaw which must persist nearly 50 years later, while excusing the latter, which, for all we know, may have continued up to the present unless I've missed a renunciation somewhere.
OK... Romney no longer punches....but Obama has not said he no longer puffs....I got nothing...we are on a comedy topic right?? Maybe I have puffed too much, or not enough.... Bush wasn't no saint, at least Obama is honest. Bush admitted he drank too much, but never denied or admitted he done cocaine...he just danced around the question.
I am way off topic now, sorry.

Re: Stictly hypothetical?
Has anyone seen this kind of action at any point in school?
I was initiated in the boy scouts, but all that really happened was I got locked in the back of a small U-Haul trailer for 20 minutes or so, no real threat of violence.
In HS I got initiated as a freshman by a group of 4 or 5 guys in the bathroom, I felt different about that. I ended up being suspended with the other guys because I did fight back. A teacher walked in and I was guilty for defending myself; if the teacher had not have walked in I guess I would've taken my lumps and went on with life.
I feel if a group of people do something to you that you don't want done, hold you down and cut your hair, then it is an assault.
Assault varies widely, in some places you can get an assault charge and never touch the other person, if you do touch them then it is assault and battery. IMO what Romney did was assault and battery, being scissors were involved then it would be assault and battery with a dangerous weapon with intent to inflict fear. I don't think he meant to do harm to the guy other then scare him, still a crime though. JMO

Re: Romney the criminal police impersonator?
I think it is how he used his costume that matters, was he a blue light bandit, or a prankster like you see on Punked or Jackass? I am not a Romney fan at all, but before I judge him on this I would like to put it in proper context.

Re: Romney the criminal police impersonator?
To be fair.... The people he pulled were in on the joke, he didn't try to imprison the girls who weren't in on the joke. I don't like him but I am not going to condemn him for being a prankster. His bullying is far more disturbing. There are many reasons not to like him, though this one seems more like an episode of Punked.
