I feel like in this day and age, especially since the pandemic and all that bullcrap, parents are starting to become either abusive (in the form of "strict") or soft. Kids who have been physically hit or unsolicitedly got their stuff taken away by their parents, and those who had been forced the "anti-nuclear" (pro-Jezebel, pro-Sodom and Gorrah agenda) bullcrap equally are being set up for depression and failure. It really shows.

Just went to Chinese buffet… saw too much stupid American behavior. Little kid touching the food and pushing utensils into the trays…without adult. Teen girl touches top of a plate… then puts it back on top the stack.

Looks like people need to be taught manners and require certification before going to buffet

From my perspective , I thought having a variety of diverse opinions on different topics/ conversations was considered a good thing but today , I’m feeling like a dinosaur.

It seems like the concept of being somewhere in the middle is no longer the norm and either you’re on our side 100% or you’re on the enemy’s side.

I want your honest opinion on this

Their primary argument is the claim that the powers of the county sheriff supersede those of any other federal, state or local authorities, as long as the intent is to protect American citizens from enemies foreign or domestic. County sheriffs may therefore refuse to enforce—and can even actively oppose—any federal, state or other governmental measures (law, regulation, tax, court order, etc.) that they deem unconstitutional. This notion—which has no basis in American law—was borrowed from the anti-government extremist sovereign citizen movement. Since 2020, Constitutional Sheriffs have been heavily involved in policing alleged voting fraud in states where Trump lost.

Abortions in North Carolina are no longer legal after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a federal judge ruled Aug. 17.

This guy got killed/murdered by several teens in nyc. Seeing their careless disregard for life, you know their mentality. These are very sick kids that needed intervention long ago. So many of them around now to manage, doing a lot of damage. Good guy, 4 kids, working hard... and that's that!

If he was armed, would you as a citizen defend his right to defend himself and shoot the attackers, even if he "messed up a bit". You know what I'm thinking.. things aren't so simple when under threat. Maybe he shoots one legit and the other was running away by then and gets shot. run the scenarios in your head...

Hopefully you see the point of my question. The "Balance of power" in our country has shifted to the criminals. We need cleanup our society, get back to law and order, respect, get these people off the streets... before you or I "go down" the wrong way.

I made no other option.. I'm forcing you to choose. You will protect the victim to some degree, or you will hold them accountable for anything they do wrong. That's reality in court isn't it?

For what it's worth... I feel for this man and his family. They were what I'd call "good americans", "good immigrants" that make this country. I'd protect him, if I saw this I would have jumped in to help him... and probably got beaten up. We the people cannot allow sick people to destroy the country. simple as that.

Curious... in my area are many Ukranian and Russian people. Are you all getting along given the war going on in your native countries? I wonder if there are tensions outside the areas of fighting.

I think there should be drug testing for any incoming parents and I also think that there should be an age limit to how old anyone can reproduce; for women I'd say 30 and men up to 35 or 40 (depending on his background); I say this mainly for scientific and psychological reasons based on my living experience.

Whenever we spend that extra 60% on food, rent, gas and utilities…whenever we look back and realize we should have never shut down the economy to save a few lives for a highly publicized flu…whenever we look at our children and realize their future is ruined thanks to massive spending and ruined education…who do we look at to blame? How do we avoid this catastrophe from ever happening again?

Do you considering spanking a child (hitting them anywhere but the face, as punishment) to be abuse?

I'm a teacher and had to do annual training again, including reporting child abuse. It is pretty standard, common sense stuff here in Korea (physical, emotional, psychological abuse, or neglect), but I imagine in America, "abuse" would be mis-gendering your child nowadays, because the West is raising a bunch of snowflakes.

I actually had an abusive mother, so I don't consider spanking to be abuse. I was moreso raised by my grandmother than my mother, and when I talked back, my Dutch-American grandma raised in the South, would actually use a tree branch to spank me with. Stung like a motherf*cker, but worked. I don't look at my grandma as being "abusive" for that, even though she "hit" me way more than my actual mother did.

A child KNOWS what's abuse and what's punishment. Abusive parents usually don't "love you" one minute, and hurt you the next. Their abuse is consistent and usually not just "physical abuse," but more so, emotional abuse and other forms, as well. If your mom and dad love you, but spanked you because you tried to steal your neighbor's car at age 12, then that's not abuse.

But what do you think? Considering today's Millennials, I imagine we're going to get a lot of "Dr. Phil moms" who think even raising your voice at a child is "abuse" and are going to have little future-felons by the time they're 15.

In a fckin closet…

Randall Tilton,32, is a New Hampshire native who was stationed at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton aboard the USS South Dakota, where he served as a machinist's mate 1st class. His crime, child rape which he accomplished by targeted single mothers on dating apps to get to their baby girls

Investigators reportedly obtained more than 8,000 videos and photos of female infants and toddlers being sexually abused over the course of 8 years by Randall Tilton; spanning over three states -- California, New Hampshire, and Connecticut.

Tilton reportedly violently raped the infants and filmed the abuse before uploading videos to the dark web. Furthermore, he raped and recorded videos of a seven-year-old girl whose mother he met on a dating app. Tilton was also accused of taking pornographic photos of a Navy comrade's four-year-old daughter at a barbeque.

Speaking to investigators, Tilton revealed that he had abused his first infant victim more than 300 times. Prosecutors said that his rapes became increasingly violent and a video of his abuse was viewed more than 100,000 times on the dark web. The Navy sailor reportedly bragged on dark web forums about how much he enjoyed doing what he did.

According to prosecutors, Tilton wrote a letter from prison to someone he considers his grandfather. In it, he reportedly explained how much he enjoyed the abuse and in disturbing detail. "Tilton's own words, captured in comments he made in forums on the dark web and chilling letters sent from prison, demonstrate that he reveled in the abuse and brutality he inflicted," Gifford wrote.

According to prosecutors, the abuse only ended with Tilton's arrest. He was sentenced to only 210 years in prison and has to pay back 900k in restitution to his victims.

Here they are still selling well. I don;t see a slowdown yet. One customer moved to Florida and she has house sale pending in just 3 weeks.
