WE are the downfall .. people.

A certain percent of our population are bent towards excess. They cannot control their greed.

We are greedy as we exit the womb .. we need to eat to survive.
That same survival instinct stays with us but as not alll people are equal, not all people will be able to temper that greed instinct with common sense, or the desire to work together in a society.

Be it their wiring is wrong, or they are weak and subject to stronger negative influences, or their parents let them get away with everything because it was easier for them that way ...
these people will always find a way to hurt and bother the other people around them.

I dont want to hear that the reason is because we are becoming godless because i can cite a lot of references (not with the complete and historical accuracy that Kemal can) where devout christians have caused more harm in the world than good.


The problem is people. We are a parasite on this planet and the good ones cannot repair the damage done by the bad ones. They work faster and with a greater effect.

There is no easy answer .. we are all driven to extiction by our own basic insatiable greed. Our 'survival mechanism backfiring like a bastard.

I know this sounds like melodramatic crap but its as fucking clear as crystal. Ask any environmentalist.

Well...mister doom and gloom.

lol.

No...you're right though.

You're apparently a control freak.

You can bring your children up any way you deem safe and fit, etc. But that doesn't mean they aren't going to be exposed to questionable content, and turn out the way you want them to.

All you can do is be a good parent and provide them with honest answers and teach them to make solid choices in life.

You can't control every aspect of their lives.

When it comes to their well being damn right i'm a control freak. But when the child is a minor, it is your job as a parent to control their access to "questionable content". We aren't talking about parenting in general.

If not letting a child do whatever they want is considered sheltering, then so be it. If there are rules and structure, they will have more respect and trust in you. Consistancy is the key to that. Sheltering to you could mean something different then it does to me, but i'm not gonna raise my girls under a rock, if that's what you think.

I absolutely agree with you regarding minors (and I don't even know how old this Vamp dude is anyway...but I was assuming that he was at least 18). In fact...there is no way in hell that minors should be able to even access this forum. There should be some kind of age verification or something.

And no...I don't think you would raise your girls under a rock so to speak...I was just trying to say that no matter how you raise your kid(s), in a lot of cases they are just going to do what they want anyway. But, no, I am not implying that you shouldn't try to regulate what they are exposed to. But my original statement is a moot point if Vamp is under 18, because in my opinion...he shouldn't be able to have access to this forum in the first place.
