Nueva, I am not buying that. When I was young we were dirt poor. The olman had to take off because of legal problems and we were alone. I remember when we were young, these high falluting religious types watched us for a whole two hours after school for the mere sum of $25 a week. Mind you this was in the 1970s and Mom was making a whopping $75 per week. We lived on it somehow. This fucking bullshit about how the lack of money causes these problem does not wash with me, never has and never will. We were one step away from homeless most of my childhood. Maybe that's why I am so harsh sometimes, and why some people think I am crazy or something. Mod 11 is OK, but I am getting ficking a bit irked when she says shit like I need mental help. It is her who needs it, and a few others around here. But I'll just let it roll off my back. Know why ? I have seen TV sets and other furniture fly across the livingroom, I have known about guns for far too long, I know how people are, how their moods change and all kinds of shit. I remain as stoic as possible and have a chance to think. That is precisely where I win. I am never going back to poverty, even without money. To explain, I know that money is bullshit. There will be a pig roast soon, maybe I'll just burn money, it means nothing. I have spent the last few years developing resources better than money. Currently at 49 I learn about as fast as a 12 year old, and that is pretty fast unless I have underestimated them. Lack of money and formal education is no excuse and never has been. I was dirt poor almost, and dropped out of school at 15 to go to work. Is my diction off a bit ? Is my sentence formation a bit slewed. Is my expression of my thoughts unintelligible ? Now take a look at your graduates, some of whoM cannot read their own diplomaE. And for the rest, license is singular and data are plural. Goddammit, what a fucking droppout has to tell half of the people in the world shit like this ? WE have failed. A village to raise a child eh ? Yeah but the village has to be full of people who at least know each other. Doesn't that make sense or do I have to start a twenty fucking page thread on that ? People, it doesn't take money, fancy toys or cars to get the job done right, it takes time. Indeed that is your most precious resource, but what are you saving it for ? Yank that kid away from the cable TV and if NOTHING else, at least play some cards or something. For those of you raisingum, more power to you and I fully admit my limitations, as I have no kids. But we have still not seen the final results of your work, so in accordance with Murphy's law logic dictates that you don't get on too high of a horse here. How many kids have seemed just fine until that one day, when some Columbine type shit happens ? Human psychology is quite complex, and as the primary influence, you must realize you are not the only influence. Other factors mix up the pot so to speak and obscure everything you could possibly teach. Yes, taking it on as a full time job with double shifts you can overcome this, but most people simply can't do that. So logic dictates the most logical course of action is to remove the other influences, which are interfering with your influence. I could probably take on such a job. Just reverse mortgage the property for 18 years fixed, work some, sell a few things and get through it. But only for 18 years. This does not include ant college or anything. To do it I would have to quit just about every vice I have, buckle down and fly right. Homeschool and deal with all the problems that brings. The whole nine yards. But that would be dedication, to a degree I don't think I have yet achieved. But mind you this, no kid of mine would ever go to a public school, unless under certain circumstances. Those would be beyond the scope of this text. Actually at this point everthing is, I'll be baaack. T
