1. It makes you pine for the days when kids wanting to get a reaction out of their parents just went

emo goth.

WTH is wrong with this idiot (or any of them, for that matter)?

[yuiyoshida]

2. my thoughts exactly...

Me thinks, someone is going to get it when he gets home.. HOLY CRAP, why not just join the freaking PEACE CORPS forgodsakes.

[Historic NY]

3. He is never going home...

at least not in his present state.

[hifiguy]

5. No loss, except to his parents.

Idiot. Another asswipe that desperately needs to catch a bullet.

[GGJohn]

6. Oh, he'll be going home one day,

probably in a pine box though.

4. Could getting a tattoo have saved that dope?

[yuiyoshida]

7. AND the number one bad choice

for a teenage employment is......

8. Joining ISIS or getting a tattoo?

I saw a tweet the other day that said, "What does my tattoo mean? It means I had $120 when I was 17 and I felt that my parents didn't pay enough attention to me."

9. He would have been better off getting a tattoo...

Even a misspelled one rather than Join Isis.. hell, HE would have been better off doing drugs, robbing a liquor store.. rather than joining Isis... He's a dead man walking.

10. Every time I see a new IS video

I can't seem to shake the feeling that it's all a massive kabuki dance and that it's orchestrated in some way. It just doesn't feel authentic in a way I can't put my finger on.

17. You're not alone. I get the same feeling that something

is missing here that would complete the whole picture.

11. 17 and joins ISIS...His parents...

are probably slitting their wrists by now.

[yuiyoshida]

13. We should put together a list of negative things

A 17 year old could do rather than join IS...
1. do drugs
2. Rob a liquor store
3. get a tattoo
4. get a badly spelled tattoo
5. steal a motorbike and ride cross country
6. Be a hacker..
7. Learn Korean and go hiking near the North Korean Border
8. Be a Stunt man for a movie company
9. plagiarize a comic book story by DC OR MARVEL
10. Work for Wall Street and then Rip them off for a cool 3 million...

You guys have better examples?? You can add them here:

12. Recently a German imam called those young men the hooligans of jihad.

He said they were just looking for occasions to feel superior to others and to commit brutality without being punished.

The virgins in paradise are just an extra incentive.

Edited to add: The imam also rejected any notion that Islam requests killing anybody.

14. "The virgins in paradise are just an extra incentive."

Left unsaid: They have to STAY virgins for all eternity.
