you know about 90% of soldiers support this war... and that is all i've got to say about that...


really where did you get your statistics, and yes, they do what they committed to do, and that is honorable, and I have never come across a soldier in any branch that complains. They are true heros.

My point is, this war is not being faught for any good reason. Bring them home.

I have been reading for a few days now, about who believes what, and who belives whom.

My statement is, if you support Bush, and the war, you are helping to kill our men and woman of the military.

Stop the war and bring them home.

If you watch this and don't feel anything, you need to think about your life.

I know alot of people say spanking is bad, but somedays I wish my sister had been spanked just once. She is a very vicious kid, last night she was almost arrested for hitting her boyfriend, and you know what she said about it?

"If they arrest me, when i get back im gonna beat your ass"

so calling the police won't help, she is physically, mentally and emotionally abusive.

My mom just turned 52 on the 16th and my oh so wonderful sister, told my mom on her birthday-- "I can't wait till you die, I hate you anyways"

My other sister the older of the 2 is about ready to kick her ass. I have virtually disowned her.

I know for a fact that she has never been hit as my mom always tries to find other ways to punish us. The normal things didnt work on my sister though. my mom would ground her and she'd walk out of the house anyways, taking away privilages didn't matter, my sister would just do it anyways.

She hits people all the time, whenever she gets angry at them. She swears at my mom all the time and basically does whatever she wants. My mom is at her wits end.

Any suggestions?



Next time she hits someone, you call the police, when she is arrainged, you don't bail her out, when she goes to trial, you go to the judge and you ask the judge to put her in an inhouse treatment center. When she gets out, you request for her to have ongoing counceling, which most metropolitan areas have a sliding scale for that sort of thing. (Catholic charities, ect) if she continues to behave badly, you don't allow her in your home.

Mars stations Retrograde on November 15, 2007 @ 12 Cancer 27 and stations Direct on January 30, 2008 @ 24 Gemini 05. Mars enters the "Retrograde shadow", or 24 Gemini 05, on September 16, 2007 and leaves the "Retrogade shadow", or 12 Cancer 27, on April 4, 2008. Mars will also be "out-of-bounds" by Declination from October 6, 2007 - April 25, 2008.

I'm sorry it is in the retrograde shadow at this point. My bad. Has the same effects.

Thank you Jim, that was one of my other points, I don't have kids, and a man that does has a bond with them, that I do not understand yet. someone that I will marry and eventually have children with, I want to grow with, not be lead by.

reasonable if you are going to give up something for her in return of her choosing.

Unreasonable if it is due to jealousy.

I think it is highly respectable to be a true father, single or not, I don't date single dads, but I sure do respect them.

Just curious, why don't you date single fathers?


Too much baggage.

It's amazing after a storm, if you sit back and let the debris settle, and watch, true nature comes out, and you can see the forest for the trees.

I now have all the answers I need.


That is so judgmental...

cutelittledevil...... Of course a grieving widow is not rational. Among the many sums of money Cindy Sheehan received was a DOD of a quarter of million dollars in death benefits because of her son dying in Iraq. Let's talk about Cindy's time after her son died. She had plenty of time to buy herself a Volkswagon Beetle Convertible, but no time to arrange for a grave stone for her son's grave, even though it was free. After two years, she finally did so only because of the bad publicity involved in her lack of compassion for her son's grave. Of course, we all know why she didn't have the time to take care of Casey's grave. Why she was too busy protesting and getting arrested.


That is so judgemental, maybe since it was being provided by the military, and she was so angry with the military, she saw that as a slap in the face, and I know when my aunt died it took almost a year to get one.

And how do you know what she got? Did you see the check?

Lindyy, i am sorry that I ever argued with you, your profile picture says it all.


Ms. Aspiring:

I am half afraid to ask, but which picture? I just changed this morning. I have lots more in my profile if you want to view and see, that there are many sides to a person, which makes up the whole person.

I am very conservative, brought up my sons that way, but allowed them to express themselves as long as they were respectful to others.

They were brought up to NEVER hit a woman under ANY circumstance. They both said "What if she hits first?" My reply - "You have 2 legs and 2 feet, use them and walk away."

My youngest son was in class one day in high school. A young girl was off of her bipolar medicine and acting quite radical. of course, my son had to open his smart mouth trap and she in turn started beating on him. He in turn was yelling to his friends 'get her off of me, if I touch her my Mom will kill me.' Well, I get a call from the vice principal - "You can be proud of your son, but he is suspended for 2 days for using foul language." Then, I in turn had to battle for "in school suspension." Send him home for suspension? NO WAY. noway That is a vacation, the stupid fools that run a school.grumble My won was not too happy with me. OH WELLohwell

Lindyy




Thank you for that lovely story, I am glad you raised your sons to respect women.

Oh and lets not forget the school computer lab on lunch break, are you going to be there then also?


No the school teachers are. Students are not allwod in the lab without supervision.


That's the funniest joke I have heard in the last month, is this the teachers who are underpaid and overworked? Or are these the teachers and administrators that prey on young kids? Or are these the teachers just waiting for their State pension to kick in.

Please don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for teachers, but the good ones are burnt out, and the bad ones, well they are pretty bad.


I agree with you about teachers being burnt out, and/or bad. However, the nice thing about the district my sons are in, even though they are underpaid, they are some of the best in the state (even over private schools).

You can trust that when they say your child will be supervised in the computer lab, they are supervised. No, they do not hover over each student, however they DO walk around and scan the screens randomly and regularly. AND they ask to pull up windows that are minimized if they think you just minimized it for their benefit. No this is not perfect. Yes They could close the screen completely, but each individual computer also keeps a log of websites visited and when, so if an unauthorized site shows up (or the teacher wants to see what the student closed out right before they got there), it will show which computer and what time frame it happened. all students are required to sign a roster prior to use, as to which computer they are on and what time it is, so they can track the usage.

Again this is not perfect, but it is better than no supervision at all. Give the teachers some credit. Even though they are severely underpaid, and even though so many are turning out to be rotten (the molestors and such), the good ones are still good. Even if a bit tired. You say you have respect for them, then show it, by not categorizing them into either good but burnt out, or bad, just bad.


you act like your kids go to high school, your kids are in elementary, wait til they get into high school and then talk to me about it.

Again good luck you will most definatly need it.

guys the problem has been solved.trust is one thing but parents should monitor just who their kid is talking too.a 12 yr old has no buisness on myspace.period.



no hun that's not true. It is perfectly fine for a twelve year old to have an account on myspace. As was stated before, it may be the only way to stay in touch with certain family members; and why pay hundreds of dollars for your child to have their own web page to do this, when it can be done for free?

Both of my kids may very well have to resort to something like this in order to remain in contact with their mother. However, I can tell you I will be having absolute freedom of the pages and content, and i will have final say on what is and is not allowed to be in there. They also will NOT be allowed to access it without my being right there with them. They are only 7 and 5 at this point, but even when they hit twelve years of age, they will still be heavily supervised, as the internet offers just way too much freedom and problems if not treated responsibly.


Good luck with that. I take it you don't work outside the home, you don't sleep, you don't go out of the house even to the grocery store, I assume also that your kids are not allowed to go to the library by themselves, or to other friends houses? Well they should be pretty normal kids then.


My work is limited at this point due to medical reasons for my youngest son who is five, but yes I do work out of the home, and leave my children with a competant gaurdian while gone. I take my kids to the grocery with me, yes they help me choose what to get for the following weeks; this way they have a say in what they eat.

Why would I allow a five year old or a seven year old to ride the public bus by themselves to go to the library by themselves? They ARE allowed to play outside within site of our house with their friends whether I am outside or not (I still have a view whenever I look out the window).

YES MY KIDS ARE NORMAL EVERY DAY KIDS!!!!!


Yes, now I fully agree full supervision is of the utmost, but when they are 13, 14 and 15, they aren't going with you to the grocery store.

You're not understanding me, I am speaking about when they are in their teen years, don't twist this around, my neices and nephews all below the age of 7, have no desire for myspace, they don't even know what it is.

Again I will state, it is a childs job to push the boundries and a parents job to enforce them, however if you want smart, taxpaying adult children, you have to let the birds fly from the nest, and fall doing it.


Yes you are right that beginning sometime around the teen years (different for each child) you need to start giving more liberties, trusts AND RESPONSIBILITIES. HOWEVER you do so little by little. you give one liberty/trust and add one responsibility (as a suggestion). If they blow this chance yuo dont automatically allow them to keep that liberty/trust and give them a new one. Yuo take it away and start from where you were prior to when the blew it. Eventually they will stop blowing it with that trust and responsibility, thus are ready for more. And you repeat this process all the way down the road until they are fully mature adults capable of being on their own.

You dot just allow them everything and expect them to grow up responsibly.


I never EVER once said, to give kids everything they want when they want it, my point was this, kids are gonna do stuff behind your back, whether you choose to believe it or not.

Daniel, I wish you much luck in raising your kids, and believe me they are in my prayers.
