I grew up in the fifties and sixties. No one would think of doing something of this magnitude. It wouldn't be thought of as an option.
The first mass killing that I remember was by a deranged ex-marine in a tower in Texas. That was in the early 60s.
If there were a disagreement at our school it would be taken up across the street in a mano a mano fist fight. No jerks with guns
or knives. Afterwards....winner and loser forgot about it. It was settled. No one bringing knives or guns into school. Again
not an option, unheard of.
Place the blame squarely where it lies. On todays society.
All great points....so the question remains....why are some demographics of society rapidly changing their views on what defines right and what defines wrong and why is real, real, wrong the path these people take? I hate saying it because I'm not perfect but....
PARENTING = the beginning, middle and end of teaching children accountability
PARENTING = what love looks like to a child
PARENTING= the example of work ethic, social behavior, marital example, parenting example
PARENTING= attention. Does our society as a whole pay enough, and, the right kind of attention to our own children...or is that iPhone more important?
99% of the time, loving them isn't enough. We have to show them we do by paying attention to them when they speak, when they act out, when theyve done well or poorly, etc. I'm not perfect....I'm just suggesting it all starts at home and when I was a kid, well, you all know that story. Corporal punishment was allowed, parents agreed with it and you got it again when you got home.
Maybe it's the law...maybe kids suing their parents and vile crap like that gives kids too much latitude...if you don't like it, hire an attorney and that candy donut will find a way to get you out of it.
Your imperfect buddy,
Changeup
