The polls said Hillary would win in a LANDSLIDE, too.........

She and others still believe in them......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA........

You go, CREEPY OLD JOE!

Not really sure that's a woman... After seeing many vids of the riots, so many of the "women" participants appear to be walking aids, clap, crab, syph, transporters. Most could make a living haunting houses.

id say 60 % parents ...20 schools...20% internet/social media ....each one is more powerful at different age levels ...

Perhaps, but think if parents instill the right values early enough and keep reinforcing them as the years go by the others' influences will never take root. Of course there's always some that just don't want to do what's right and those are the ones that usually end up in the system.
I have an older brother that from day one Dad let him run wild, never made to apply himself in school or made to do his homework. Who to heck ever fails 1st grade. Never laid a hand on him but once I can remember. Has been nothing but a financial cost to society 90% of his life. Could I tell you some stories about him but you'd say I was lying.

You just proved out what I stated about parents.

I think Chuck said it......... You can have all the aspirations/expectations in your heart for your kid, plant all the good seeds, but your kid will grow up just who he is.

That's just it, could never figure out why Dad let him do whatever he wanted, no discipline whatsoever. I mean come on, getting sent home from 1st grade and the teacher comes to the house about your son crawling under her desk trying to look up her skirt. I would of tanned his ass that he couldn't sit for a week. But that's ok, he made up for it with me.
Mom had no say, he ruled with an iron hand.

Well KC that was the way it was back in the day. I don’t know weather men didn’t know any better or what. Mothers same to know when it was wrong, but like you said had no say. What a world. Now you, Guy, and I know but we are old fucks and going to take our knowledge to the next life ???

 

[corsair231]

My son is a good kid, he lacks direction sometimes, but he has a good, honest heart, and he's on a good path, like a lot of kids his age.


It isn't the fucking generation, or if GOD is in the mix. Before my parents divorced, we went to church every Sunday.


It's the PARENTS, and what they DO to encourage OR to fuck a kid up. THAT is the key.

There are lots of dumb ass, selfish parents out there. LOTS. THAT is why we are where we are now.

That first line describes my son to a T. That is until he gets hanging around some of his not so good friends and then his direction can get off track if he's not careful. Thankfully he's at least headed in the right way with just minor corrections needed.

I have to disagree a little about the generation thing. It's not the kids themselves but the environment this generation is coming of age in. There is no innocence any more and if there is, the other kids are merciless.

About God and going to church. They are not necessarily the same thing. God can be everywhere but if you are not open to him, you can't find him, and if you can't find him in a church then you know what that church is? Just a building.

On that last train of thought, you're right, there are a lot of people that have no business being parents and a large part of our problems do stem from Marxist/Socialist ideas such as "It takes a village". No, it takes parents. The support, but not the meddling, of the village would be nice though.

My thought on the whole thing is based on "you reap what you sow" with the following stipulation. A good tree may (on occasion) bear bad fruit but a bad tree won't bear good fruit.

there is a crucial point in every human beings life ...when they realize/understand the difference between right and wrong....happens at a very early age ...or not at all....and that is why we have pyscho paths ....LOL..

One thing I find very interesting is back 150 years ago there were Indian tribes that didn’t have a word for lie in their languages. That to me is amazing. A dad asked his young son , did you break that ? Now me if my dad ask me that ( knowing I was going to get a ass whipping ) who me , don’t know how that got broke. What did the Indian boy say ?? Always the truth ????

I was raised in the 60's, as many of you were.

Parents said this.......

8:00 AM in the summer........ "Go outside and play, be home before the street lights come on."

"Oh, you fell off your bike? Come inside, I have some Mercurochrome." ("Monkey Blood?".....sound of feet running away.....)

"You guys want to go for a ride in the back of the pick up truck?"

"Put this football helmet on, it will protect you when you crash the go kart."

" GOD DAMMIT (insert your name here)"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Go ahead boy, pee off the side of the boat, you're only raising the level of the lake."

An older brother.... "Have you tried putting TWO C67's in that model rocket? Bet it would go REAL high if you did....."

And finally ......... Dad saying.......

(Face Palm) "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!!!!!! YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!!!!!!!!!"

And yet, WE SURVIVED !


Feel free to add........

Some of my teachers in grade school , 5th & 6th , would be in jail now for what was done in class back then . My 5th grade teacher was the best . He was a ex Army Sgt , and would keep a box up front on his desk with pieces of chalk & pink erasers which he would throw at you if you were talking or not paying attention . He was a pretty good shot too !! One day near the end of the school year he went to pick off an offender and all hell broke loose with a return of fire from the whole class that saved up ammo from the year . It was like the food fight in Animal House with chalk & erasers flying everywhere .
The same class I made a paper mache volcano with a old 6.5oz returnable Coke bottle inside . I filled it with ammonium dichromate and touched it off with magnesium ribbon . Holly crap that was TOO much ammonium dichromate . It blew ash up onto the ceiling lights and burned for a minute or two with flames shooting out the top .......................... I got an " A " for my project !!
My 6th grade science teacher brought in his dead cat to dissect and another time a cows eye . Good times !!

Only because two are running...

Your words are very true. But I guess it doesn’t bother a lot of people, just look at Trump !

That is an excellent point, GOD and church not the same thing. I'd think the real church is the world's Christians. Most churches today are preaching religion and not Gospel. They're much to concerned with filling the plate and maintaining their tax free designation. Some of the best preaching is done outdoors or under a tent or just in the home. How many today just literally take a moment to give thanks for the food they are getting ready to eat. There's a day in the not to distant future where no amount of gold or anything else will buy a can of soup.

That is certainly amazing isn't it. That's been brought up in a number of films and documentaries. The indians were extremely brutal when it came to interacting with other tribes but they sure had some good qualities that we all could use today. Although I can see some circumstances where a lie maybe better to protect somebody innocent.
