| | Howdy everyone, I apologize for my absence. I have simply not had anything to really talk about, except that my summer vacation was extremely short and boring, except when my family actually went on a week's vacation, and my trip to Camp Crossroads. Anyways, my faithful viewers, or at least the very few who still bother to check my page on occaison, I finally have something to talk about. I don't know what exactly it is about high school, but it seems to me that every single year that passes by, each Class of Year Whatever gets more and more freakin' immature and obnoxious. Last year, the Seniors were great, Juniors good, Sophomore's okay, and the Freshman just plain horrible. They made bomb threats, started fights all the freakin' time, tried to start a brawl at the Pep Rally cause, well, apparently they are a pack of dogs trying to assert dominance over one another. I believe it is the generation of younger kids that is to blame. Political correctness is poisoning with all of these little "tricks" and "tips" to nurture your child without the use of violence. Listen, it isn't working. When a kid gets older, putting them in the timeout chair doesn't work anymore, and when you "ground" them, so what if they can't go out on Saturday night? They still get to play their video games, fool around on the computer with friend, talk on their cells, and blah blah blah. Granted, that is not always the case. Parents, with all of this technology we have before us, the stuff we use now is completely ineffective! I am so freakin' sick and tired of schools distributing condoms to promote "safe sex". You know what I think? School's shouldn't be promoting ANY form of sex! Don't give them condoms, cause all you are doing is giving them an excuse to do it in the first place. I hate that people dressing like prostitutes is "okay" now. Look, if you are going to dress like your on sale for $5 an hour, don't expect me to show you any shred of respect. My point is this. Parents, you seriously need a reality check in your parenting skills. I don't care how Super-Nanny disciplines her children, or what the news tells you is the right thing to do. Politically correct parenting is removing you, the parent, from the child. My reason? Because all of the politically correct ways of parenting have nothing to do with being involved with your kid, it always talks about your kid "knowing your there". Leaving them to fend and learn for themselves while you just play the fallback man. when they do something bad you just basically expect them to learn from their experiences. Listen, when I become a parent, I will discipline my children in the way I see fit. Safe, and sane. None of this "Don't do this son, but if you do, it will be alright" style of parenting. The news may tell you that you are "intruding" upon their life, but the news is the one who aired the video of dead soldiers being loaded onto trucks, showing their faces on live televisions to the families of those soldiers before they even recieved the telegram. Live, Love, and Learn. Daniel |
