Homeschooling can only work where two parents are very committed and capable. When you can't teach someone how to tie their shoes h.s. cannot work.
And in a weak moment, a christian will blame Satan for problems far more complex than what said christian can understand.
It is crystal clear that that more and more girls and women are expressing sexist opinions towards men, like wearing "I love me" and "men are dogs" t-shirts, and men are being turnoff by this.
I know, I was just being a wiseguy! ;-)
I don't disagree that they don't go looking for the oppurtunity I'm saying that it's a moral failure to go for it when the oppurtunity arisies. Being morally flawless in the absense of temptation is no challanging feat. Your morals are what is supposed to make you say NO.
Women need to get over themselves and realize that sometimes life sucks and you need to deal with it. No crying, no complaining, no shrinks, no pity parties, just deal with it.
Life is not fair, but unless people are prepared to drink the Kool Aide and end it, life goes on and you must deal with the reality you are dealt.
When a person realizes that so long as they have their limbs, etc etc, life begins to look a lot better.
I always wonder how feminists can rationalize the illegality of prostitution, since their argument for abortion is at odds with it.
Don't they whine something like this, "Keep men's laws off our bodies..." and other such drivel?
What about a woman's right to choose to sell herself?
There are web pages out there that are of the opinion that this is part of the feminists' plan to control men's access to sexual relations. It will only be done on women's terms. Terms dictated by the feminists.
I thought it was an interesting digression anyway...
(Hey, and you didn't get flamed. I'm on fire for my posts!)
I think unless you are an amazing teacher and patient person private school is vastly better than home schooling.
I know this is going to get me a shit storm, but home schooling is probably the worst way to educate a child. If you have a crappy school public school send them to private. Most home schooled kids end up in a public highschool because their mom's can't teach them Chemistry, Physics, US History, Calculus etc etc, and when they do its a disaster. The kids are terrible at socializing, and are usually werid. There were two home schooled girls at my Highschool and they were not right socially.
I agree that succumbing to temptation is a moral failure. That being said, I don't think it has much to do with 'trust' and 'morals' as a lot of folks insist.
LOL
That is a good point. This generation of males is choosing to be less than their parents. Though, I dont know why the daughters are so motivated and entering professions, college, and their own businesses at record levels, and the sons are not apparently doing anything.
Could this have to do with all the male-bashing that is institutionalized in America? Trying to feminize men? Rambunctious boys are put on Ritalin. If a boy has energy, DRUG HIM QUICK! He might upset someone.
Men are portrayed as dull idiots on television, especially commercials. Women are pushed into roles they cannot handle. They are attempting all kinds of work that they have no business doing.
The left and feminist society is trying to turn our girls into men and our boys into women.
I fear what the future may bring... from ritalin to estrogen therapy for cryin' out loud... who knows!
2. Immigrant males are males.
The point is, that native born american males are the ones without ambition, who are not going to college, who are not starting therir own busineses, who are not going into the military, who are not getting high paying jobs at the factories.
Yes, I know immigrant males are trying very hard to succeed - but that is a different group and does not compare with when I went to high school, and all the males either went into the military, went to college, or got good high paying jobs at factories and easily supported a non-working wife and 3 kids.
It seems to me that this is no concern to you, whereas I believe it should be.
It is a concern to me, but there is nothing I can do about it, most people are in favor of free trade. That large pool of males who left high school and got good high paying jobs with lots of beneifits and pensions and medical insurance, etc, that enabled them to support a non-working wife and 3 kids doesnt exist anymore.
When I went to school , only the male flunkies and drop outs got poor paying jobs at stores or hamburger joints - yet today, it is so common to see young men working at flunkee poor paying jobs with no benefits and no pension plan.
I am not wishing, I am observing. It is the young men who are making the choices to not go into the military, to college, or to high paying factory jobs.
I think what is more on topic though is that feminism has encouraged more women to cheat, and more women to engage in immoral behavior. The first law of feminism is that men are the ultimate evil, the second law is that women must beat men at everything men do.
