If you have lots of time to waste and have plenty of Pepto-Bismol on hand take a look at the junk that passes for important news on places like YouTube and FarceBook. Many people have no concept of the fact that when they put up all these stupid pictures and videos that they have a half-life that's longer than nuclear waste and will eventually come back to bite you good and solid, especially when you go job hunting.

Today's popular culture hardly discourages the kind of activity that this woman did, and unfortunately in too many circles it is celebrated. Expect things to get worse and not better.

I see no value added by the permissive, passive, no impact "discipline"(?) of today's youth.

Parents are more into talking or texting than they are to paying attention to their children's needs (including a good whack). THere are still some who subscribe to discipline, but all too quickly declining in numbers.

I thought I would throw one time not long ago listening to one of my grandchildren explain how they were instructed to report their parents to the school counselors for how they were treated. As a result far too many parents hide behind such BS......

Once agian another event that makes me so glad I am of the generation I am proud to be a part of.......
