[quote who="mickeko" reply="17" id="2380651"] Quoting messiah1, reply 16 This country was nothing when it started. But it was something... I think it would have been *very* interesting to see what it could have been today if the europeans never got there. But that's a whole different discussion though.

[quote who="mickeko" reply="15" id="2380643"] Quoting messiah1, reply 14 We've got to start somewhere... As in at home? [/quote] Thats right. Each of us needs to start with ourselves and our families. Families are the anchor of a free society. If you mean at home as in your home country, then yes as well. There is no reason that each country can't be great. This country was nothing when it started.<

[quote]But the fruits of our work today may not be apparent in our lifetime.[/quote] But if they are apparent for the lives of our children and their children, then it's worth it. And that's what I'm fighting for.

[quote who="Hawkeye666" reply="3" id="2380362"]Totally disagree with your post. And obviously you didn't even practice what you preach. The First amendment says exactly, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Not as you so conveniently reworded it to

I do not choose to be a common person. It is my right to be uncommon. If I can seek opportunity, not security, I want to take the calculated risk to dream and build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for dole. I prefer the challenges of life to guaranteed security, the thrill of fulfillment to the state of calm utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, or my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unaf

[quote]The 'side-effect' of 'modern living' should be more time with our children - not less.[/quote] Precisely. There is no excuse, at all, for not spending time with your children. None. Period. If more parents spent more time with their kids, this country would see a great turn-around in the attitude of our youth. No valid excuse can be made for not spending time with your greatest creation. Everything else you have or have done pales in comparis

[quote]Maybe the children of 50 years ago had more to be grateful for and respectful of, and the mores of that day and age were a lot more clearer, and not as confused. I was a child 50 years ago -- the future promised me by the generation before was a lot more generous than the future I can promise my children -- and my children don't even HAVE children, and don't plan on having any, because they can't provide for their own present, so it would be horribly selfish and unresponsible to bring

[quote]"Spare the rod and spoil the child", if you mean that "spare the rod" part literally, is the lazy parent's way of discipline. Using violence as a display of authority will get you only so far. This method of discipline tends to backfire. The child simply learns that being physically overpowering gives one the right of authority, and you know where that thinking is going to lead the child. Once the child is physically strong enough to shrug the pain of violence as a disciplin

[quote]Aye, but they lost the civil suit, and King won some booty thar' (3.8 million). [/quote] That's what's called a sacrificial lamb there. If they had won the civil suit as well, there would have been more riots. Bank on it. I wonder what would have happend if the roles had been reversed. i.e. Rodney King was white and the cops were black. I bet you there wouldn't have been any riots.

[quote]A lot of the attitude also comes from what, and how, they are being taught in the public school systems.[/quote] Public schools are the way they are because we, the people , have allowed them to get that way. We, the people , need to take back our fundamental rights. We, the people , need to show the state and federal government that they are there to serve us, not the other way around as der fuhrer would have you
