Beautiful! Thanks for posting
maybe we should just surrender our children to the state until their 18 that way they’ll be well cared for! /s

The crime rates today for serious crime murder, rape, robbery, assault are the lowest they've been since Kennedy was President.
It's the "fear" of crime that is going through the roof.
I recap the sixties growing up in suburb. We were allowed free reign by our parents but there were certain ground rules. First, we knew that other moms were watching us and would not hesitate to report our behavior and faced punishment when we returned. Second, the older kids looked out for and protected the younger kiss. Third, our parents knew which neighbors were odd and gave us strict instructions to stay away from them. Finally, our parents taught us to be wary of adults we did not know and impowered us to make judgments about strangers based on incomplete information.
In other words, it’s the “You kids get off of my damned lawn” law.
I think that's the liberal's societal goal -- free-range crazy people and criminals, so the rest of us need to lock ourselves in jail.
This must be the same generation of people who have made our Rules of Engagement protection for our enemies...can't fire until fired upon or not having real bullets to start with.
That’s a very good point, there’s plenty of things within the home or even private property that can be just as dangerous as out in the middle of the city. I would bet that you would be referring to drugs, porn, and illicit sex as threats within a home. Although with my young kids, I expect them to in their rooms at night anyways, because they simply need their sleep. That and the fact that latr at night, your judgement isn’t as sound.
I posted a great thread on this last weekend:
That was what I was thinking.
Lots of supposed conservatives will brag on one had about how we used to go off for hours to play in the past, while being the most paranoid about there being a pedo or kidnapper around every mailbox.
Caution is a no-brainer, but so I teaching kids to be their own best protection.
The big secret of the Great Recession is that thugs had to move home.
Their momma is saying, “You can stay here, but you are not crawling in here at all hours of the night...I have to get up and get to work.”
There is still plenty of crime and plenty of thugs. But the ones on the margin are living in the basement.
ehhh no thanks LIBTARD NAZI COMMIE SCUMBAGS..... but..... LET’S HAVE MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCE FOR PEDOPHILES..... televised on all msm and cable channels so peds can see their fate if they act.......
As soon as school was out yesterday my yard filled up with kids, ranging from 9 to 14. We looked in on them, but it was hardly supervised.
Good Lord our nation is becoming weak, spineless and a bunch of wusses.
This poll is either a load of BS, or the story is an indictment of our failed society.
OTOH, maybe it’s possible a cross-section of the US could be polled resulting in that grossly-inflated figure.
Seriously: If you consider all the Libs/Rhinos that believe more government is the answer to everything, coupled.with the fact that stupid people are now encouraged by the State to breed...then yeah...
...the poll numbers jive and it reinforces my view of the country in general.
I’m confused now: Was my comment sarcastic, racist or simply pejorative?
(THAT’s /s)
