SW, the end is definitley near, but it sure ain't because of these idiots running around and killing folks with knives and assault rifles...the political world and much bigger events are the indications!!! Israle is the timeclock of all events, so we need to keep our r=eyes on what happens tehre, and be sure we are ready to meet the Lord no matter WHAT happens here on this terra firma...but you already know all this
LF we quite using the old blistering method to teach our kids from right and wrong.<br />Kids at our schools have been banned from carrying knives and anything else that could be used as weapons so they started running in groups so they could enforce their will upon the weaker ones.<br />We need to get back intouch with our kids and do more with them and make them apart of our lives so we can instill some moral values into them.<br />This could get long so I will shut up now.
Timeline?<br /><br />Early 60's- kicked God and the Ten Commandments out of school.<br /><br />Late 60's-radical Feminism shamed the mothers out of the home.<br /><br />70's- began to tax the families so heavily it insured that the mothers would stay out of the home.<br /><br />70's thru today-began to listen to a political party that ignored any personal resposibility and created a society of victims.<br /><br />began to further dismantle an reliance on Biblical morality in public life.<br /><br />abdicated responsibility for our children (they could do no wrong) as we demanded that the schools become surrogate parents. (it takes a village)<br /><br />I don't think you you really need to ask that question, LF. I think you know the answers. They are plain to see!
.<br /> that will work.<br /> ask any liberal.<br />so far with my ex I have been investigated 6 times by social services. 2 were home visits as well.<br /> so far the worst they came up with was "dont holer at the kids"<br /> my eldest is 19 and moved away to her mom's my youngest is almost 15 and moved back to his mom's last summer. both are in trouble now cause the ex and her new hubby have no rules and are never home but the state says at 14 they can choose where they wish to go. like a 14 year old is gonna make a wise decision. mmmm lets see live with dad and have rules and consequences to breaking them or live with mom, who is rarely home and works mostly night shift, and play all the time.neither of my kids will talk to me ,which is just as well becuase they lie so much now. my ex allowed my daughter to quit high school in the 10th grade. her and my daughter had some conflicts so she came back with me. I had a rule that says if your under 18 your in school<br /> she graduated in june of 2003.<br /> now my son is talking about quiting when he is 16 and there is nothing I can do about it cause the state says he can choose what,when and where he wants to do at 14.<br />he knows that while dad does not like to spank nor do I condone it I am very capeable of it.<br /> last time he disrupted school at age 13 and the teacher called I spanked him like a 5 year old and told him if he wished to act 5 I would traet him as five. later that year he made the student honer roll and the behavoir model. all it took was some attitude ajusting with a leather adjustment tool.<br /> but social services was called by my Ex and here we went again. I did offer to let them raise the kid . but back to the knifing. its a sad state when a 14 year old feels the only recouse is violence. however I have seen people teased and taunted till they broke and no one did a thing. when I was in about the 7th grade I participated in a teasing thing with a "geek" when my parents found out I was whipped by both, had to write a 2 page apology that they had to approve of, then I had to apologize to the school staff and write a paper on why picking on the weak or different was wrong.I had plenty of time to do all this for the 30 days I was grounded. no TV no music no toys the only thing I could do was read and write.<br /> my parents tolerated no foolishness and it worked out ok
<br />No "detention" back then.<br />My dad ruled, period.<br /><br />My brother and I was better for it also.<br /><br />I raised my girls the same way, they knew when ol dad was serious.<br /><br />I did not go for this ol stuff, stay out till you want to come home at night and one thing that would really set me off was if they were in anyway disrespectful to their mom.<br /><br />No such thing nowadays. Kids don't know the meaning of the word, respect.<br /><br />You see it everywhere you look.<br />Even on this board.<br /><br />Enough now, it's turkey day and I'm out.<br />Have a good one.
