Absolutely correct in every way.

 

I bow to you on this one ALL the way.
Most interesting as to how many will find the "old" ways "barbaric"
Thanks for posting.

 

The good old days really were, "the good old days".....I dont know what the H**L we've got now.

 

New days of "change" and "hope".

I certainly am down to just change. Hope? Not so much.

Jason

 

Next time, I hope they keep the change.

 

A complete frickin' distaster where nobody seems to take any sort of responsibility for their own actions...when I grew up, it was "hmmm..if I do this, the old man is gonna be choked"..or even worse the cops dragged your *** home and then you got to deal with the consequences...I can't believe the BS these little SOB's get away with these days.

 

Paul Harvey's replacement today told of a crossing guard at school that high 5ed the kids and parents everyday for years. 1 parent complained... School ordered crossing guard to stop. kids now crying thinking they did something wrong and person dosn't like them anymore...the rights of one stop the rights of a society.

 

It started when liberal "academia" took over the classrooms and the real "educators" retired.

 

I've seen it before, but it's still funny as hell.....And apt.

 

A PC, "sensitive and compassionate" nanny state, where everyone is scared of their own shadow?

Whatever you want to call it, it's a ******* mess!

 

we are all going to hell in a f...ing hand basket,

 

give me back the old ways any day!

 

childern should still get the rears bistered,they would show more respect,i got my A$$ paddled when i did something,my dad had a paddle and a belt that would hurt like hell

 

When I went to HS, (long ago), the principal had a paddle, and knew how to use it. And you stood a good chance of gettin a second lickin when you got home. Today, think lawsuit.........too damn bad things ain't like they were.
