The reason this world is so fucked up is because of the way we raise our kids.

You can't play dodge ball because little Timmy might get a bloody nose. "Tag" isn't allowed anymore because it might hurt the fat kid's feelings. Some schools don't give Ds or Fs because it makes kids feel stupid. Some schools don't use red ink when grading papers because red ink is too "stressfull." You can't make this shit up. No one is ever allowed to feel bad, ever.

These kids grow up to be whiney ass lazy peices of shit. Whiny ass lazy peices of shit that I have to deal with everyday. They think they are entitled to everything. Thats why this country is so far in debt. People complain about the government wasting money, but I firmly believe that people get the government they deserve. No one wants to save up to buy anything. They want everything NOW.

My philosophy, if you can't afford something, don't buy it. If you aren't ready for/can't afford to have kids, don't have them. Its not rocket science.

it took me nearly 9 years to get to this point as a parent. when i was getting divorced, i felt sorry for them & turned into quite the namby pamby mommy. they were turning into absolute spoiled little shits & i had only myself to blame. so i woke up & started being an actual parent. they might not like me at times but i'm cool with that.

and i completely agree with iron - what's wrong with this country is us!! we've ran it into the ground so far that we are screwed as a nation. but yeah, blame the dems &/or reps - it's easier & Lord knows everyone wants the easy way out.

I'm not opposed to trying to make the world a better place, but when you start talking about stripping people of money, rights, and possessions for the sake of being "fair", I just have to shake my head. If you honestly think that you understand the universe that well, and that your own human frailties wouldn't get in the way of being fair and objective your ego might as well be the entire universe.

You can bring up all kinds of tangents, but the bottom line is that most of wealth in this world has been ill gotton off the backs of indigenous people through deception and plain basic thievery. I'm talking about a reckoning because the seventh angel has been taking notes and his book is pretty full of the bullshit that the so called kings of the earth have been doing.
