I would not want to be a kid in today's world. What are we doing to cultivate a emotionally healthy environs for our children?

I took my 17 year old daughter to "The Hunger Games." She sat through the film fine. I was very disturbed by that movie. Kids killing kids is some of the darkest energy on earth. The film has become like reality here now with parents and adults sacrificing their children and training them to fight for survival and then feeding off that energy using media. I don't want to be a part of the dystopian world depicted in The Hunger Games. I had an in depth discussion with my daughter after the film about her thoughts.

Isn't that what this Lanza kid's mother was all about?

Just sayin...

So the current media spin is meant to result in a population disarmed and their children having no self defense skills.
Interesting.
Remind me not to vacation there, shits about to get scary.

Come on over...you'll be fine.

Candy doesn't work for me anymore. :) I'm a lady, by the way.

my daughter was taken to that movie (without my consent) by relatives of her father.

she cried hard.

we talked about it at good length.

that movie sickens me.

The removal of God and life centered around Him and His teachings is the core issue and the reason for all the troubles in the world.

When Jesus returns, there will be no more trouble because the new world will be centered around Him and Holiness.

That is the problem with the world....no God.

Honestly I have to agree with you there. My dad was a violent alcoholic and mad our lives miserable, did a lot of damage and I am sure if he wasn't in the picture we would have been a lot happier and not have all of the awful memories but it was very difficult for woman back then to survive on their own.

I raised them on my own starting after their dad discovered crack. I worked two jobs most of the time...my mom helped me out a lot.

Wanted to add that when my youngest was in 1st grade the school suggested I put him on meds. He glued the legs of his desk to the floor because it was lopsided and moving around. Hell no!

There was no such thing as ADHD when I was in school. There were always one or two kids that were little more exuberant or would misbehave but that usually got solved by teachers and parents working together.

At 18 I decided never to have kids in this world.

I am 49.

On occasion, I use to regret my decision....in my early 30s.

NOW, I am so glad I never had a kid.

I saved myself from years of worry about so many things....

vaccinations, education, the list is long.


I feel I made a good decision seeing this kind of weird evil shit hole a kid has to grow up in today.
