I would own those two idiots, and the people at the school so much, that their toenails 30 years from now would still be owned by me.

We had guns in the back windows of most country teenagers’ pickups, too.

It was completely fine and encouraged.

When I was in Tokyo a few years ago children as young as first graders were on the trains alone, sometimes in groups of four or five; one time this one girl’s group got on the train and the door closed before she could get on and left her on the platform. Several ladies came up to her and got her safely on the next one. She was there on the platform all alone.

Please try to deny this.

They work hard, and they play hard. Some harder then others, but, from what I've seen, the dregs don't last long.

“be home when the streetlights come on.”

When I was nine my dad was missing a lot (alcoholic) and my mom worked split shift for the phone company. I had a wandering range of about two miles from home during the day.

I'm not saying I didn't get into trouble. I just didn't get into serious trouble. (Not like the kid who screwed up trying to hop onto the ladder at the end of a freight car and died due to losing both his legs.)

I CAN'T GET TEXAS.

Texas has the same problem every state has. Big minority populated cities where elections are always for sale.

I’m sure all the “good cops” in Midland stood up to denounce this scum and the prosecutor is preparing the charges…..oh I guess not.

i During the depression my father left home and went on the Hobo when he was twelve. I was born in 38 and seem to remember both my father and mother working 6 days a week so we were free to roam the woods or town as long as we wanted, no such thing as air conditioning or even tv so inside the home was the last place we wanted to be.

“This happened in Texas. There seems to be no escape from this sort of madness.”

Isn’t that disturbing? Next thing we hear is that Texas Rangers are all sporting man buns, and are 95% pussified. When Texas goes, we’re in big trouble.

Other than the oil field dregs which pass through.

fwdude, I am sure that you know about the Midland Odessa area, based on your FR moniker.

Midland is mostly white collar, and overall a bit wealthier than Odessa. I have always felt that Odessa was rougher and more blue collar. Both cities have their issues. After all, GWB found his wife in Midland ... ;)

Things have really changed if a 14 y.o. that is home schooled, can fall under the jurisdiction of an SRO "School Resource Officer" - especially one that knows the family. Even the Texas CPS, a bastion of illegal activities and general sinfulness, dropped it within a single investigation.

Something just doesn't make sense, and I think that the reporting is leaving out the female officer's role in all this.

(My mother passed away from polio when I was 11, and I became the unofficial parent in the house when my Dad was away working. What would happen today to us?)

When I was in high school in the 80s it was common for the pick ups of the students to have rifles in gun racks on school property and nobody cared.

After I got my driver's license, during hunting season, I would take the family van to school and my friends and I would have our shotguns in the back. After school we would drive south of town to one of our science teacher's farm and hunt with him.

“School cops are a “special” breed who can’t get on the real force.”

And your proof is what?

Probably meant the 14th Amendment which makes the first 10 applicable to the states.

I CAN'T GET TEXAS.

Good news, bad news, really good news, really bad news.

Texas, like many other decent places is becoming infected with prog.

The only way to deal with them is to verbally or legally bi+ch slap them as soon as they start something.

I had to do that to two at my (soon to be ex) doctors office.

Went in to get shingles shot # 2 and they brought me into a room with two ( ? ) big gals and an unmarked syringe that had been prepped.

I had already gone a couple of rounds with the doctor about the "vaccine" and when I saw that I told them absolutely no way, get out and come back with the unopened vials and a fresh syringe.

They were stammering and wide-eyed, went and got the PA that immediately got it and them out.

The PA brought out the correct two viles, I inspected them, one was the vax and one was the mixer, all ok.

Walked out without the pneumonia shot I was scheduled for, told the assistant up front to bill me the co-pay.

Funnest thing, that was three weeks ago and I have not heard a word or gotten a bill from them.

When I was 12 living a suburb of Los Angeles my folks would go to Las Vegas for a couple of days leaving my sister of 14 and I alone in our home together.
I knew how to cook, clean cut the grass, sew, do the dishes, laundry and nearly everything else I needed to take care of myself along with my sister.
We enjoyed their faith that we’d take care of each other and carry on like they’d taught us.
My father also taught me how to hunt as a kid in rural Michigan and I have never been afraid. I have since i was 10 how to use a weapon like any tool as necessary.

I am no different than so many other kids in the world whose folks taught them self reliance.
God bless you Mam.
Take care and Always be safe.

I was a city girl…..we were alone once my brother entered 2nd grade and I entered 5th grade. My mother had to work because my father died when we were 5 and 2.

We were very independent.
