Crnr2Crnr Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 btw, 'woke' used as a blanket dig for something people disagree with is getting pretty lame... and it was stolen from African Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo seems to be the case... so should we as a society keep accepting the problems or try to resolve them. our elected officials from both parties sure don't seem capable of accomplishing anything. acknowledging there actually is a problem would be a great start... We should try to resolve them but taking away someone elses constitutional rights isn't the way to do it. Unfortunately being free has it's consequences. It doesn't matter what laws are passed, even outright confiscation of guns won't stop the problem. Deranged criminals are gonna do illegal stuff.

And yeah, if one of my 'friends' crossed the line, that kid was off the team as far as hanging out goes. TV? We had the 5-6 channels, but even that was not a baby sitter for us like it is for most parents these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more mental issues is truly the problem then what caused the problem? Smart phones, social media, technology and lack of respect and discipline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and it’s all been aided and abetted by higher education and as Dennis Prager so accurately described, toxic femininity.

If I were to pull some of the shit theses kids do now a days I would not have walked right for a week.....but the again now a days someone would have called the police on my dad and he would be in jail for child abuse. A lot of theses kids/ young adults know they can get way with a lot of shit so why not push the boundaries and try to find the limits knowing nothing much is going to happen to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing my Dad did, was he put us to work. Most weekends by 7am he had us outside doing something. I can still hear him "Get out of bed, there's work to be done!" One of the best things he did was put a chainsaw and an axe in our hands. We cut A LOT of wood growing up, as my Dad used it to heat the house. After we piled up 15-20 chord extra one year, he put us in charge of selling it. He said we cut it, we can sell it and take the money for college (Not the failed academies of today) where we can get an education and not grow up to be a grease monkey as he called himself (He was a very accomplished welder, one of the best at the company he worked at for 43 years). To him, he wanted to get us out of the "blue" collar type jobs. Well, it worked for me, I'm still sitting at a computer most days. But I yearn for the garage time at the end of the day.... Much more fulfilling than sitting at a desk. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it to Minnesota, to yet again set the bar of ridiculousness!! A couple typos in there, but you can tell what they're getting at ... kids being informed that bats and baseball cleats could be considered weapons. Seriously, WTF!?!?! We better inform the Twins: bats in public are bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
