I have not.

But I do agree that some parents need to understand the idea is to help your kids learn how to exist in a world that is (I think) very fluid and much more difficult that the world I grew up in. They need to understand they are going to live in a global world, and the ability to understand the way the world they are living in works, is a great advantage.

Just making it easier by bailing kids out of every problem they face, will hurt them in the long run. just my pesos worth.

P: impossible job for parents! Frenetic is a word I'd use rather than fluid

TO is a typical liberal.

They have no concept of restraint or civic responsibility.
they just act upon impulse without regard for the consequences of their actions.

Dont get me wrong, he has every right to play ball and act as he wishes.
but dont be surprised when he behaves like this.
he is a liberal and their behaivor is unfortunate.

thats just a crutch f*ck ups use as an excuse.

Im not a kid anymore, but I was not too long ago and Im telling the world is not that difficult.
everyone has choices.
you can make the right ones for yourself(which are sometimes harder) or you can be a f*ck up(which is sometimes easier).


maybe in other parts of the world, life is difficult.
but not in America.
we can make anything we want for ourselves and its up to each individual to decide.

I want to go to work every day and gamble on horses with the money I earn.
so thats what I do.
simple as that.

Seems like a self-centered LIBERTARIAN to me.

well Tim,
Im not sure what diffiiculties you exactly encountered along the way, but you seem like a smart guy and Im sure you figured it out.

all i am saying is that if you do the right thing for yourself, its relatively easy to get what you want.
most problems ppl have are brought upon by themselves.

the reason the white trash redkneck with 6 kids by the age of 25 is struggling is b/c the loser is too stupid or irresponsible to use birth control.
the reason the crack addict living off of the govnt is struggling is b/c he is too damn stupid to stop doing crack.

ppl have choices in this country, and you can be whatever you want to be.
thats all I am saying.
