Where's the insult?

What gives anyone the right here to decide who is an immigrant versus an alien?

Unless you're a member of one of the original tribes, shake your family tree hard enough, and at some point an anchor baby will fall out.

George Bush said it best: "the United States is a country of immigrants, and it always will be." He didn't say "aliens", he said IMMIGRANTS.

Why?

Aliens?

What planet are they from?

For that matter, what planet are you from?

In the words of Donny Trump: "They knew what they signed up for.."

Bill Maher said it best..

"Cops crying about having a "hard job", is like a proctologist saying "I can't believe I have to look at as$holes all day!".

Maybe he wasn't.

Maybe he was hanging out with the only kids in the neighborhood there were his own age.

That's one take on it, the sunshiny take on it...

Then there's the other side. Which seems to be more evident. They simply don't care. In their version of Marie Antoinette, it's not "let them eat cake", it's "let them eat lead".

They're "thugs", "animals", and "an infestation". They are beneath them. To these people, they are insignificant, they're not even human beings. So they don't deem them worthy of any compassion or understanding.

I was talking to a friend one time, that happened to be Jewish. We were discussing what the thought process was for a camp guard, that could feed people into the ovens all day, and then go home, kiss his wife, and play with his children.

My friend told me: "the first step, is to dehumanize them. They don't see them as people, so it's not that much different than someone working at a slaughterhouse. Nobody cares about the cow, as long as they get their hamburger."

I think we're seeing the same dynamic here

Yeah, it is.

What's even more sad, is that so many here are standing in line to piss on his grave.

People like her, only resign to avoid getting the boot.

Looks like someone's finally starting to take notice.

If you can make all that happen, I only have one question...

Can I have a unicorn for my birthday?

Psychologists call it the "fight or flight" response.

And where is the sanity in trying to fight a dirty cop?

Let’s say you’re exchanging anecdotes about the ups and downs, the frustrations, the disagreements that occur when you’re sharing a home and a life with a spouse.

And let’s say the grown-up tells you, “I just slap my wife when she’s really upsetting me.” Or, “When I really want to teach my husband a lesson

Marines don't go to combat against spouses or children.

Perhaps because I was responding to an attack?

Besides, I was only emulating your Lord and Savior.

"When people attack me, I punch back, twice as hard." – – Donald J Trump

'Nothing wrong with spanking?' Think again, Kelly Clarkson

On the list of things that deserve our attention, I’d put “how celebrities parent” somewhere between “Bill O’Reilly’s new book” and “The Bachelor.”

But singer Kelly Clarkson just admitted she spanks her kids, so I’m going to point my attention her way and rail against this antiquated, cruel, utterly ineffective discipline tool.

“I’m from the South, y’all. So, like, we get spankings,” she said during a radio interview last week. “So, my parents spanked me, and I did fine in life, and I feel fine about it.”

The mom of two kids, ages 1 and 3, acknowledged that some people frown upon spanking, but that doesn’t sway her.

“So, that's the tricky thing when you’re in public. ’Cause then people are, like, you know ... they think that’s wrong or something,” Clarkson said. “But I find nothing wrong with a spanking.

“I don't mean like hitting her hard,” she clarified. “I just mean a spank.”

Here’s where we play swap-the-person-getting-hit.

Let’s say you’re talking to a friend, relative, neighbor, acquaintance from church — any grown-up, really — and you get on the topic of marriage. Let’s say you’re exchanging anecdotes about the ups and downs, the frustrations, the disagreements that occur when you’re sharing a home and a life with a spouse.

And let’s say the grown-up tells you, “I just slap my wife when she’s really upsetting me.” Or, “When I really want to teach my husband a lesson, I hit him.”

I would find a lot wrong with that. I think most of us would.

No amount of domestic violence is socially acceptable. We frown on all of it.

Why on earth should we accept a lower bar for children? Children, who are half our size and twice as defenseless? Children, whose brains are developing by the minute and whose parents are their first, truest and most trusted teachers? Children, who need our help relating to the world and their place in it?

We shouldn’t.

No marriage counselor, no faith leader, no trusted confidant would suggest the road to a better, more loving, more peaceful marriage lies in the occasional, well-placed smack.

And yet, we’re still dancing around spanking as though it’s some sort of valid option. An acceptable, if a bit controversial, choice for discipline.

It’s not.

A 2016 study, considered the most complete analysis to date on spanking, found that the more children are spanked, the more likely they are to defy their parents, exhibit anti-social behaviors and experience mental health and cognitive problems.

“Spanking makes children's behavior worse,” lead author Elizabeth T. Gershoff told me when the study came out. “It has the opposite effect than what parents want: It doesn’t make children better-behaved, and it doesn’t teach children right from wrong. It’s not related to immediate compliance, and it doesn’t make children behave better in the future.”

Across age groups, multiple studies have found spanking is associated with increased aggression, delinquent behaviors, anxiety and depression.

“The evidence against spanking is one of the most consistent findings in the field of psychology,” said Gershoff, who dismisses the my-parents-spanked-me-and-I-turned-out-fine theory.

“First, we turned out OK because our parents did other things, like sat us down at the kitchen table and talked to us and gave us reasons why they wanted to see us behave. We turned out OK in spite of spanking, not because of it,” she said. “Second, when I was a child, there were no seat belts in cars. Do I think I turned out OK because my parents didn't put me in a seat belt? No. I think I turned out OK because we didn't get in an accident.

“We have evolved in our understanding of what protects children,” she said. “We now know we can protect our children and promote their behavior without spanking.”

And we should. I’m frankly astounded that it’s not outlawed in the United States, as it is in more than 50 countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Kenya, Denmark, Israel and Brazil.

“It's based on our history of treating children as property,” psychiatrist Paul Holinger, founder of Chicago's Center for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, once told me. “And a misunderstanding of our basic built-in feelings and what gets elicited (from spanking) — the fear, the shame, the rage, the distress — which are neurobiologically toxic reactions.”

Neurobiologically toxic.

Spanking teaches children nothing more than that they’ve depleted their parents’ patience and triggered an adult-size tantrum. There’s not a single lesson that spanking instills that couldn’t be taught more peacefully — and more effectively — through other consequences.

It’s a topic we remain illogically divided on, despite overwhelming evidence pointing us where we need to go: toward less violence. That’s true in our small towns, our major cities, our country, our world.

And it’s true in our homes.

One of my favorite quotes is, “Be the person you needed when you were younger.” It guides me at work and at home. Children need people who love and guide and teach and steer and correct and comfort them. They don’t need people to hit them. No one does.

But don't let that stop you from spanking yours.

Figures you would be into beating children.





They showed video of him in a car full of gangbangers? What channel? Did they all have their gangbanger certifications? Or are you just saying any car full of black kids is full of "gangbangers"?

Would that include church buses as well?

Whatever you say Tommy.

Don't let Massa find out.

Will you be sharing the video of that?

Whatever you say Thomas.

And I've never robbed anything, after college I went to the Marines, who in turn sent me to flight school.

Did your master even allow you do go to college?

Well Tommy you started it.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it.
