@ Iniquity....I have similar views about people on Welfare...I, personally, have never seen ONE person on Welfare who TRULY needed it, and who COULDN'T work...I've only seen people on it who WOULDN'T work......I knew a girl with 5 kids who received over $700 a month JUST for food stamps!...No way in hell could I afford that much groceries....In addition, her housing is paid for, her health insurance is free, AND she also receives a CHECK...For what???...Everything she has is already being paid for!....I know it's none of my business what other people do, but it really irks me that people who won't even TRY to support their families have an easier way, while we sometimes have to struggle to pay our bills (not often, but it DOES happen)...OH!...And she gets about $5,000 in income tax with her 'earned income credit'.......While we are lucky to get enough to do anything with...It really IS bullshit...

As for the 'discipline' thing......You only need to watch the news to see how well the 'Don't spank your kids' thing is going:rolleyes:...Things didn't used to be this way.....I haven't had to spank my kids for YEARS...But, that's because they never gave me a reason to after they decided that they didn't want to BE spanked anymore, and they straightened up...Actually, they were never really 'bad'...They always knew the possibility of punishment was there...


So...I feel ya on these...
