On another note, why do privileged American kids think it's OK to do stupid stuff in Eastern Nations?  Remember Michael Faye?  The kid that got caned in (I forget the exact location), for vandalizing cars.  What the heck??  Do they feel like they are somehow above the laws in other Nations?  Kind of makes me think that America has gotten so soft that we excuse so much, and dismiss it as "petty", that we have a youth that truly feels like they can do whatever they want, without fear of retribution.

Oh yeah... I remember Michael Faye. He and I were from the same neck of the woods in Ohio. I was only 19 or so, and a freshman at OSU at the time. I really thought he should have gotten cained. I'm personally against corporal punishment, but Singapore wasn't. Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. If I recall correctly he got in trouble again after he returned to the States.

Lavar Ball is a shameless self promoter. His response to the president was as predictable as Trump's response to him was. Donald Trump has no business arguing with that asshat.
