Just quit smoking this week after 2 years of doing it.
The problem arises from the family structure we have today. DO to the double icome and the womans influx into the job market, who/what is teaching our children the morals and guidace they so desperately need at home? I asked my mother about this and she whole heartedly agrees the woman needs to stay at home and watch the children and taking on a lesser role in the work environment. As she says when your children are gone and out of the house then you can think about yourself and go on with your life. What we have now has evolved into this explosive debate on equal rights and women's lib. They feel compelled now to succeed, to show that it was for a reason. Do I look down upon a woman that stays home and watches the family? not in the least bit I have more respect for them, for it is a much harder job then our standard 9-5 job. It is a 24 hour job. It might sound like I have old school values, but I am only 28 and saw the trend that has led to what we see today, it started with the freshman class as I was graduating High School. Gangsters being glorified on MTV and the news and movies is this really what we want our children to become? You see it now with their baggy jeans and their music. I know the old adage you kids listening to that crazy rock and roll, but did it ever have in the lyric's about killing the cops or raping women? From what I see we turn our headds to this as if it doesn't exist, it does and frankly I am ashamed sometimes to live in this country. I served for the military, and it increased the love I had for this country, but the people are somewhat a farce as to what this country really is. face it banning guns won't stop crimes but make it easier for the criminals to commit them. Why don't you head to the upper peninsula of Michigan and tell them they have to get rid of their guns. LOL the highest per household of guns in the US is up there, and Michigan has the largst militia in the US as well. Least thats what I read about the militia. Only thing that will solve crimes is to either get rid of the good samaritan crap the courts give out, aka getting out on good behavior award. Harsh sentences for crimes, "Death Penalty should not take 10-15 years" A weekly prison drawing your name comes up you get to play russian roulette. Crimes commited while insame, easy fix put them out of their mysery. Remember guns don't kill people, people kill people with guns.
