Last and Only time I disrespected a parent; "Hey Mom-you're full of s**t" Enter dad, WHAM!!! I am across the room on butt. I said owchies, never again.

I have been a father for 18 years now. I have 3 kids. With the first one, I tried to be a tree-hugging Dr. Spock, no-hitter patsy parent. Never Again. That kid has nearly gotten tossed into jail for my'no hit' efforts. The next 2 are doing much better. "yes ma'am, and No sir" We made sure they knew mom and dad had 'the power in this home, (and not the kids)We rule fairly, and these 2 kids only needed one good smacking a piece (so far) to get that undisputable fact in their heads. They now 'fear' rules enough to think twice against breaking them.

My only regret with being a disciplinarian dad-making the mistake of spanking my own child in public, where there's always some Dr. Spock, no-hitter patsy who'll call the cops about something they don't even have a whole story on. They called the police because i paddled my 5 year old for running into a 4 lane street-contrary to our constantly taught rule against that. Immediate Discipline before the kid forgets what he did wrong. But I will do it again publically if needed. Not the government's business to tell us how to parent our children, even thoughsome here want it to beso. Not the business of some third-party passerby, either. "Innocent until proven guilty". Law is enforced by discipline. Discipline is first taught by parents.

Godput us here or not but in theMEANTIME; what are we gonna do NOW?

That is true, but at least we're (finally) trying to make an effort against it. The Dodo Bird got wiped out, too, but some of us are learning from the mistake. That is kind of a life-giving reaffirmation in a creator, as well as a good trait for humans who hold no spiritual belief.

Right before I got married, I would do my last stand six or even seven ways to Sunday, in every hole, multiple times, without remorse or relent...

Alas, I wanted to contract good old gonorhea in the old fashion way before I died.... now it'll be HIV from a swine instead?

Paper bags exist for a reason.

I'm done before I start:

Dialup discrimination!!!

Serves me right for getting involved!

Do it with her, then in remorse, let someone with swiney sneeze on meez.

Oh wait- dosen't boyle HAVE Swine Flu?

Um. Unless I got headshot standing up, I'd probably do it lying down in a pool of my own blood. Otherwise, I'd sneak out the back, live to a ripe old age, and die of a heart attack in the arms of a lusty woman who wanted my bod.

I'd like to have just Firefox, but IE is Window's preferred clumsy slave, and won't let me keep Firefox without a lot of nonsense. Sort of like Apple can be better as a system, but everything else is dominated by PC $$ today. We never get much choice when it comes to what our $$ will buy computer-wise...
