Lock up your daughters....

i'm going to guess it involves a game called "just the tip"

[Sinister]

 I only hope to be in a position where the man I marry can stay home with our kids.  

Ya got things turned around there, a bit, sweetie.

You think so?  I have no problem bringing home the bacon, I just hope my man can cook it.

Letting people do what they want is all well and good... when the only ones who will be affected are the individuals themselves. How fair is it to these children? The babies are the ones who will really lose out on the deal. If the girls already come from financially (and emotionally) strained families, I highly doubt they will be in the position to effectively care for these kids on their own. Oh... wait... they're going to help each other. And hell, there's always welfare.

If these girls wanted to go whore it up day in and day out, fine with me. That's their deal. But take a make the beast with two backsing pill. Wrap that shit up. This society doesn't need to support any more bastard babies or their emotionally unstable mothers.

Of course, genetics probably play a role in my position towards nurturing the young.

Damn ovaries...

haha.. i agree when consequences affect other people for your actions that is not a good thing, but really, again we come back to the standard "i do what i want when i want bc its a free country, i don't care if you dont' like it, but i do what i want bc its good for me and my family"

simple reasoning is this with suv cars, people that have them say "for proection in an accident, to protect my kids, etc".. now you hit someone in a midsized sedan car with that 6000lb suburban you kill their kids but yours is ok.. you say "too bad so sad".  you may not have needed a surban or tahoe to transport your 2 kids to soccer practice, your parents didn't in the 70s, but now we all say "i have to look out for my interests only.. if i kill someone else or hurt someone else so be it, i dont care, i have to protect myself and my family bc everyone else is doing it"

we all justify our own self insterests, i do it too.

but i will agree these girls are ignorant in their thinking and need some serious psychological counseling help.

and people are right, when you get a bunch of people togethr in a big group you normally have people acting even more stupid than they normally do bc of the mob mentality.

where were these loose type of girls when i was in high school?

It works for some, but women/mommies are better nurturers.  Men hunt shit and provide.  I'm just saying.

have you looked at a 76 lincoln vs a 76 datsun? people may not have been driving suvs but many of the cars people drove were tanks that I would gladly sit in and go head to head with a modern suv in.

Saving up so your kid can go to college and NOT be in debt for the rest of their life...

Not sure I agree with this bit here. I financed 100% of my engineering degree myself, no loans whatsoever. It took me six years to afford to do so, but I did it. And I worked my ass off, lived like a rat the whole time, never went anywhere on Spring Break, etc. Best of all, you know what? I wouldn't go back and change it because it built more character and integrity than you can imagine. And that is missing in spades in today's younguns.

Well, it sure beats being stuck in the middle of last century.

And if the cost of tuition wasn't increasing at the rate it is now I might agree with you.   In 1982 when my uncle graduated from the same university I attended it was $75 a credit.  When I was there it was $700, that was only a few years ago and already it's up to over $1,000.  I was lucky that I got a scholarship and could afford to pay the difference on my own by working.  It would have taken me well over 6 years to pay as I went.

Education is one of the most valuable things we can give our children because no one can take it away from them.  I agree that young people need to learn the value of hard work, but that should start long before they head off to university.

Hey, I can always learn how to cook!!!

PS: No, but seriously, I'm pretty good at breakfasty foods

i have to agree with other posters here, the cost of college unless you went within the past 5 years has gotten more and more expnesive, now i know you will say, "it was expensive when i went" but the cost of college is now outpacing the normal rates of inflation so its not like when you went back in the day if it was 10-20 years ago.  if you are lucky enough to get into a private school you are looking at upwards of 25-30k dollars a year for tuitiion, i don't know about you but a kid fresh out of high school won't have that type of money to spend a year even with working jobs, at least not easily at all.

the work ethic kids have or don't have is highly dependent i think on how parents raised their kids, you can have hard working kids that didn't have to work through college that know the value of an honest work day.

the problem i think is that too many parents "give their kids the best" right off the bat thinking its good for them, in a sense the parents work hard so that their kids can have better than they did and in the process teach their kids the concept of "entitlement" bc parents justify it as "i'm giving them the best i can" no you aren't if you are just throwing money at the situation or making up excuses why you are making their lives easier and easier.

example parents that gie their kid as a first car a 1 or 2 year old or new bmw or mercedes or honda, bc they got good grades and justifying it as "well i want a safe car for them".... how in the world do you expect a kid to learn the value of money and things if you give them a 20-30k dollar car as their first car?  wtf?  what ever happened to a kid getting the piece of junk 1000 dollar car that barely runs that they have to work for and such? 

but that is unacceptable bc everyone "wants to give them the best".. and you wonder why kids feel so entitled.
