Rumor: Kerry & Edwards Want to Ban SEIV

Why can't parents take responsibility for their kids?

Run your home as a fascist dictatorship, NOT your country.

Its not that parents don't want to take responsibility for their kids, its that the medeling left wing liberals have told them they have no right to teach their children the differance between right and wrong through discipline. Where there are no concequences for ones actions, there is no responsibility.

You can not teach a child responsiblity if that child is spoiled rotten. No matter who comes here and says that you can, and that you should never punish a child, is either dulutional, or living in wonder land. I tell you what, a kid throws a tempor tantrum 20 years ago his mom would spank him and tempor tantrum was over. Today if she looks at him in a threatening manor, the child is yanked from her care and put into the foster care system. This tells the child that they can do what ever they want and get away with it. Then one day they are 18 and get into some trouble.... wanna know what happens then? Yup you guessed it, they go to jail and blame their mom and dad for all their problems.

I can site many examples of this in my family alone. So those left wing, count to 10, time out, never spank your child, always talk soothingly, democrats can kiss the fattest whitest part of my buttocks.

To bad your the exception to the liberal left rule of thumb which is to protect people from these very things by passing laws that limit our freedoms.

And no offense, but many people do not agree with the liberal point of view on a great many topics. And for the record, I think we need liberal ideas and laws, but over the Last twelve years the liberal laws that have been enacted have only limited our freedoms and free choices. The liberals that force fed us these laws I think we can do without.

Actually, the genesis of such child protection laws are generally attempts to prevent egregious child abuse. Maybe it's just me, but when I hear about parents beating the snot out of their kids such that they break bones or inflict permanent injuries, or when they lock them in basements as punishment for days at a time, or any number of other awful things that they do to kids who CANNOT protect themselves, then, yes, I do support such laws.

What I think you're reacting against is the notion that such laws are either (1) too far -reaching or (2) enofrced beyond all reasonablness. Both of which I would agree with you. Such laws should be limited in scope and application and should have a satefy check in the courts. And, I think the latter does occur often. Not sure aboutt he former.

No thanks.

FWIW, my sister never has hit her kids, they're just fine. Igot spanked twice in my entire childhoold, I did pretty darn good despite all odds. Perhaps something else is going on in the families you mention? Maybe it's a self versus community issue (as most reactionary v. progressive issues are at core).

Just a guess, but this was on Fox "news" right?
