[/quote] I've always wondered why so many people have children into poverty in third world countries. I can only presume a lot of it is through rape. If you, yourself are in the middle of a famine with no food and all but dirty drinking water would you choose to start having babies? I don't think anyone sane would anyway. I also see exactly what your saying with your initial post. We have lost the ability to nurture and cherish our kids so they grow up into decent human beings, or at the very least it's increasingly more difficult to instil values into children that aren't influenced by all the crap they watch on tv and bad habits they learn from other kids who's parents haven't put the same hard effort into bringing their kids up that you have with your own kids. Somewhere along the way, empathy is very quickly being eliminated from society and without it, it's surely no holds barred for the way you'll be willing to treat others. [/quote] i don't think we've lost the ability to nurture our children. that's not what i'm saying at all. what i am saying is that the world has changed, drastically, and quickly. we are in the midst of an immediate and rapid decline and decay of society and civilization. we need to gear up and deal with it ourselves, let alone prepare our children. that's what this thread is about. getting with the reality of the state of the world, see it thru the eyes of our children, then prepare them properly to survive in it. [/quote] Maybe the more we adults talk about it, the worse it will get. Some older children read this too. Do you have children yourself OP? [/quote] i have two children. i 21 yr old son, an 11 yr old daughter (both from ONE husband) the more we talk about it, the better it gets. we NEED to talk about it. [/quote]

Seriously...
emotionally, physically, mentally...
a world that offers stability, sanity, love, warmth, promising futures?
we continue to point fingers and blame, but nobody is willing to stand up and make a difference.
this world has gone completely insane.
and our kids are left alone to cope with it.
we, as adults, are doing nothing to offer compassion or understanding.
this is the core issue.
