I see parents now days that hope or wish the kid would stop throwing the tantrum. Between parents that don't care or parents that rely on others to raise the kids plus 16,17,18 year old kids having babies plus single parent homes and no wonder kids are messed up. I remember getting swatted by the wooden paddle from Mr Wells in the 5th grade. Remember getting the wooden ruler across the palm of the hand by Mrs Sewell in the 3rd grade. Nothing wrong with giving the kid a little swarping when they need it. I am not talking about a beating or abuse but a good old fashion ATTENTION GETTER. Kids lose all their social skills because they relate to the TV or WII better than humans. When was the last time did any of you see a group of kids outside playing kickball or football? There is something to be said about making the kid go outside and get away from TBE boob tube. The more white, black, brown, tan, pink, purple kids that play together and grow up together will help squash the racist lines between us all. The more parents do their jobs the more responsible our young people will be. The more parents care about what the kids are being exposed to, tv, movies and music, the more they can control what bad influences it has on them. But people can't blame movies or song lyrics for their kids shortcomings. Today's technology allows parents to block tv shows to a certain rating level. Computers can be setup to block certain things. Music is labeled clearly on the case to a rating. Tv shows are rated. If you have a 7 year old kid and let him watch Cinemax after midnight on a Friday night then be prepared for the soft pornography that he or she will see. My dad is racist in the fact that I hear the way he talks about certain things. I am not saying he is KKK, but do believe he thinks white is the superior race and the rest are beneath the whites. He is 65 years old and grew up in a different era. Whether he likes it 1000% or not, he has a Nepalese grandson and his family tree will forever going forward have non-white links because of my son. My generation, as a whole, accepts the fact that the world is round and different races make up the world. My sons generation will accept it more and so on. But people must stand up and hold themselves accountable for their actions or non-actions and take the job of being mom or dad more serious. The birth certificate for a baby list the mother and fathers name. Anybody can be a mother or father but not everybody wants to be a mommy and daddy and there lies the root of the problem
