  • Slight tangent here but…

    Is it me or what the hell is going on with kids these days? They all say “don’t liky!!” and the parents go “okaaaay, here is some candy, then!”

    When I was a kid you got food and you ate it. I mostly liked it but of there was a meal that wasn’t my favorite, then sucks to be me, gotta eat it. I never once told my mom they I didn’t like the food, as I knew she worked hard to prepare it, and I had some basic respect and decency and understanding that she was doing what was best for me.

    It was the same for other kids as far as I could tell.

    Now, all around me I see these families and ALL have the same with the kids. I’m not trying to say we need to go back to the “good ol’” 1950’s but for fracks sake, can we instill just a little bit of obedience and discipline in kids? Sometimes when a kid asks why it’s okay to say “because I said so” and a small slap in the butt when a kid goes all off the rails neither hurt anyone. It certainly didn’t hurt me when I tested for boundaries and was shown where those boundaries were. No, I’m not advocating violence in children, I’m advocating to put more limits to kids, I feel there is an imbalance.







  • Yeaaahh, since US government policies are the entire reason that that drug war exists, Id say thanks, but no thanks.

    Edit: to expand a little on this: US drug policy caused the entire drug trade, the high prices, and the extreme violence. The US then doesn’t send their best, they send their weapons, and they send them knowingly straight to the cartels (thanks, US gun manufacturers!). US government actually supported this for a while to see if it was true and… Did nothing with that.

    Then US army would train Mexican soldier which then took that training straight into the Zetas which murdered even harder.

    At this point, I can only say “FIX YOUR GODDAMN DRUG POLICIES, YOU @SSH@LES” and keep away, please.
