Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences

Many parents are ‘doing their jobs.’ But it shows through the media, public schools and even the day cares that society is failing. I’ve felt for some time that there’s got to be a way to reach the whole of society and cause an awakening. Our world is slowly falling apart, and the younger generations do not seem to be equipped to hold it together. I believe this started long before my generation, but until now there hasn’t been such an obvious need for restructuring. Kudos to the parents who are raising their kids with morals and values, and to the people who are reaching out to help the others. But I feel one child at a time will not create enough change to save us. There’s got to be a means of reaching everyone. So far, it hasn’t been found.

Perhaps you misread the original question. The three-year-old slammed a car door, and as a result, the mother pulled his collar, shoved him, yelled and dragged him by the ear. This is not teaching that negative actions result in negative consequences. This is abuse. When a child does something intentionally harmful, they must be taught, immediately, that such things should not be done. Each child responds to discipline differently, so one method does not work for all. When a child does something thoughtless, explanation of the consequences (e.g. slamming the car door will damage the car) should be enough to rectify the problem. And for something so petty, the parent should remind the child before he exits the car not to slam the door. No actions of a three-year-old warrant being pulled by the collar, dragged by the ear or being shoved.

I can speak only for myself, but I found that in my relationships I want a strong man who can hold his own and isn’t going to back down to my every whim. Unfortunately, the “nice guys” I’ve dated were spineless when it came to standing up for themselves. I found they made better friends than lovers. But I also found that there are “bad boys” who are strong-willed without being abusive. I don’t tolerate abuse, but I welcome a strong opinion. Unfortunately, some young women have a hard time seeing the difference.

But the abuse of separation of church and state goes much further than the President saying a prayer. According to the Pledge of Allegience, still said daily in public schools, we are ‘One nation, under God’. And recently a bill was passed allowing the 10 Commandments to be posted in government buildings. If, at 25 years old I’m learning from this that I’m not considered part of our nation and that my religious beliefs don’t matter because they don’t match others, I can only imagine what young people must feel.

The “night shift” makes $7, and the wages are growing. The average day care worker starts at minimum wage. Feel sorry for the people who are dedicating themselves to bettering the lives of our children. I “flipped burgers” for almost 10 years. It’s not real difficult. I’ve cared for children for nearly as long. It’s an important, rewarding career that pays meager wages.

I don’t concern myself with what you choose to do with your body, although if I feel someone I care about is making a wrong choice, I’m not going to sit back and let them cause harm without trying to convince them to stop. I take a strong stand against smoking because I am a non-smoker, and when people smoke near me, or even across the room in a non-smoking environment, I can smell it. It stays on my clothes and in my hair, and even worse, it often makes it difficult to breathe. If someone drinking nearby affected the air I breathe I would be equally as offended. For now, so long as you’re not behind the wheel of a car (or other large machine), at least you’re harming only yourself.

Since I’ve realized my own, personal beliefs and become sensitive to generalizations, I now assume most people are of a variety of faiths and, like myself, are wary of discrimination. Although I enjoy religious discussion and debate (I feel there’s no true answers), I avoid discussing religion socially until I feel that someone has openly raised question or offered to share their beliefs. I have been placed in the position where there was casual religious discussion and someone openly inquired about my beliefs. There were people within earshot who held very strict beliefs and would see me differently if they knew mine. It made me very uncomfortable. I’m sure others feel the same way, and still others are merely sensitive to the fact that not everyone holds the same beliefs.
