Mennonites are not brainwashed

 I live in the Lancaster, PA area; a place where there are thousands of Mennonites.  Mennonites are not a cult, and they are not brainwashed.  They are some of the most outstanding people that you can find on the earth.  There are all sorts of Mennonites, from very conservative to others that you would never be able to identify as Mennonite from their appearance. 

I didn't see the first show, but the end of today almost painted this as a cult rescue, which it isn't.  It is, however a very difficult situation, as any divorce can be.  To be honest, it doesn't look promising with the parents pulling in opposite directions.

It almost reminds me of little Elian (sp?) Gonzales who was rescued when attempting to come to the US from Cuba.  The relatives of that child had him totally spoiled with junk in a few months.

SIDS was actually Munchausen

I saw a program a while back on the man who supposedly "discovered" SIDS in a particular family.  He made a whole career out of his supposed discovery of SIDS.  Eventually it was proven that the mother in the family had killed all the children that supposedly died of SIDS.  Who knows how many SIDS deaths are actually Munchausen deaths undiscovered. 

 

There was a network program on this topic a while back, and they had videotape of one of these women who brought clear saran wrap into a hospital room where her baby was, and she smothered the child with the saran wrap.  Totally undetectable, no trama to the child!

Desensitization by video game training

Today's youth are desensitized to death by training that they receive in killing in video games.  This is contributing to the mass killing that we are seeing today.  In the past, an impulse killer might stop after being revulsed by the blood and gore that he had caused, but today's youth are not stopped by seeing blood and gore, because they are so used to seeing it on the screen. 

 

You can defend these games all you want, but it is undeniable that they contribute training in mass murder in these children's lives.

Let John Walsh do it...

I think that some of the shows lately have turned into John Walsh type programs.  I think it would be good to not get too close to that type of program.

Why should he come on?

Why in the world should Dog the Bounty Hunter come on Dr. Phil?  Why in the world is Dr. Phil doing this anyway?  The guy is a character...like a white Mr. T.  He's not a moral example.  He's just a kind of wild outrageous character.  Why should he go on Dr. Phil and be skewered and roasted by some panel of race experts?  Let the guy alone to work out his own mess and stop making shows like this.

The difference is the girls

 In my high school days (1966 to 1970) the boys were just as interested in sex as boys today.  The difference, though, is that the girls were the ones that held the line.  Girls were saying "NO" and holding the line.  Guys who really wanted sex would find one of the few who had a reputation as being "easy" and use them. 

These days girls have lost that value of holding their sexuality as precious and valuable.   That is the difference, and that is the fault of our society, and the women's movement.  The way to improve this problem is to educate the girls that they need to consider their virginity as a valuable thing not  to  be given up to some horny teenage boy, or even a nice teenage boy who will take it by any means that it takes.

Last point:  Giving condoms and infomation may seem to be "the answer" but it ignores one huge fact:  sex feels a whole lot better with the condom in the wrapper.

10/12 Homecoming Shooting

Quote From: blackwolfbws

There is no direct evidence to support this claim.

 

Indeed, I believe that there is a direct link between these shootings  and the increased pressures kids feel to fit into society norms and achieve. Almost all these kids come from outstanding families that are well liked in the community before the shootings occure.

 

The solution: We should be celebrating our differences and accepting the differences in others. No child should be forced to fit into a mold of what the perfect kid is. Indeed, some of our greatest scientists and acheivers of our age all had unussual personality traits. Maybe to be a dreamer or visionary, it requires not fitting into the norm.

 

We should be happy to have children that don't quite fit in. And help them to be proud of who they are.

 The direct evidence is all the mass killings.  What more direct evidence do you need?

The undeveloped brain excuse

 I keep hearing this on Dr. Phil:  The teenage brain is undeveloped.  What are they talking about?  My 14 year old son is doing algebra.  But supposedly his brain is undeveloped and can't make sense of simple moral decisions?   To me, this is one of the most baffling things that I hear on Dr. Phil, and it seems like a collossal excuse for irresponsible kids.

Why do we care about these people?

Whether or not these people get married, and beyond that have successful marriages is of no interest at all to me.  They're living together, they're enjoying all the benefits of marriage, why should they get married?  They are living what many would consider an immoral lifestyle, so why should we worry about their marriages failing if they do get married?
