What? Sounded too familiar? Was your daddy military? Ive often heard people say its familiar and they turned out to be military brats.

I had alot of pat comments that my sons friends used to get a kick out of. Like "Dont you look at me in that tone of voice" for dirty looks. Or if he was looking at me like I was crazy for something Id just done Id say "remember that some kids dont have to put up with parents like this" (meaning some kids dont have parents, appreciate it)

And when things really got heated to the point that it looked like they were going to explode Id say "If your thinking of hitting me then go ahead. But remember, its only going to happen ONCE so this better be the best possible reason you can think of" (for the Last decade or so I wasnt sure I would win, but I was sure it would only happen once)

-- (sig line) I like the way the bee's raise kids. Pamper them when they are little. When they become teens you lock them in a room with food. They come out as adults ready to go to work.

Heck, I've always thought people should have to have licenses to have children! Make 'em pass tests and all that...

heh, I hear you AT, I went to a school that had the 'strap' as it was called, and I was the unfortunate victom of un unjust straping to - unfortunaly I was so shamed by the whole thing I threw away the letter to my parents and didnt tell them, which was absolutlty stupid, as mum would have gone in there guns loaded ready to do battle (we were prety honest kids so she would have belived my side of the story, unlike hte principle)

I for one agree with a good smack on the fleshy part of the backside, but becuase of my unfortunate expericanes at school I would never let anyone disiplin my kids, (when i get some) a parent tends to know a when there kid is telling the truth better than anyone else.

as for limiting the number of kids to a family, I duno, its a hard one.
it can end up just restricting those good law abiding citizzens and the not so gret citz who dont give a damn have large familys whos kids dont give a damn and the whole thing cycles ending up with more people who are not good citz than those who are.

If that's true about CPS, Attro, then it is a corrupt organization out of control that needs shutting down. Maybe some laws need to be modified. It doesn't amount to a disagreement about abuse on either end of the scale (child abuse, or parent abuse by an agency) - I trust none of us, and no honest and sane people want either. It also doesn't fall under "those darn liberals are to blame".

Parents don't have any way to punish their children besides hitting them are in sad need of help in parenting. That's where an even worse crisis is in this country - too many parents without enough understanding of how to be a good parent.

As for the Patriot Act, IMO it's far worse than airliner kamikaze attacks, in a different way, of course. If anyone believed George W. Bush was defending our freedom, well he surrendered that war with that act, and became a far worse enemy to freedom than any terrorists.

We don't need population control in the U.S. Our population is only growing becuase of imigration, which is a good thing.

Eventually, with increases in urbanization, other countries won't have population problems either. And when their 'baby boomers' reach adulthood each and every one will experience a culteral revolution, perhaps even a political one. That's the way it works.

As for this law, don't forget that the courts have consistantly came to the side of the publishers and developers on grounds of free speach. Unjust laws do get passed in the U.S., sometimes. We have a system of checks and balances that corrects this, given time.

I would like to ask, alarikf, why you switched from Libertarian to 'liberal' (whatever that means, you have indicated that you favor the Democrats)?

Most people I know who were Libertarians in their youth no longer call themselves such. They may swithc to one of the main parties, may go further into the extreme and favor anarchism, or may come up with their own names for their beliefs, like Anarchial Capitalism, or somesuch.
