hey stop breaking the non-argueing state that we were in

your the one that started it

Not the kids' fault in America. When contemporary society tells you over and over again that it's what you look like and not what you know that's vital; then your going to focus on the wrong things. Just watch MTV shows or Housewives of anything. Young, impressionable kids watch those shows all the time now. I see this behavior emulated every day by kids. And the music lyrics are so sexually aggressive now. I wish I had a dime for every time some kid has told me that they don't affect them. And yet, they're behaviors mirror the lyrics; they are just completely oblivious to it. That's my rant for the day, I'm done. Just very sad it's come to this in America.

I witness this first hand, and I agree. And to think, around 30 years from now these same crazy teenagers, myself included, will be the ones running the country... Hopefully enough people with enough morals and intelligence survive and at least give my generation a chance.

Wind shear is dropping ahead of ex TD 7, but its forward motion will remain a huge issue. Don't expect regeneration until it passes Jamaica at the very least.

Tribucanes...not all kids of course. Mine unusual....no FB for one and little use of it from the other. Too much drama one says. They don't like to text...too impersonal. They like face to face communication.

On a weather note: I think the next two weeks should get active. Isn't it ironic that when the number of storms expected were increased the activity seemed to go down.

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

Still, you can't use the **** our generation has had to grow through as an excuse to not be one of the ones to revolt against the disbanding of ethical prowess, this "progressiveness" that has been allowed to continue to emanate in this nation.

There really isn't anything one can do to go against the mainstream anymore. It's just too strong and well established to go against it. All you can do is stay under the radar that you think what's going on is unacceptable, because if you step up, "they" cut you down.

I see we have a 95E, just popped into the picture.

Contemporary society has very little to do with it. Lazy, unengaged parents who blame things like contemporary society, technology and the school system are the problem.

Good for you midgulfmom! My kids are the same way! Mine also have a awesome set of morals and dare to be differnt than their peers. Seriously proud of them

I hated having to learn cursive.I had a strict teacher as well that just wouldn't let up.I'm glad they're teaching typing though.I mean we are in the digital age.

It's called keyboarding now. Typing is obsolete.

One day in the future, the kids like me between 10-20 years old now will look back and say they witnessed the beginning of the real digital age, where the ways of the past died right in front of our very eyes. This is the beginning of the period of accelerating technological and social change that will last for the remainder of human existence and when the ways of the past are forgot,, history shall repeat,

This sign must truly herald the end of the Olympics as they knew it!

Yep, it bottomed out in the high 950's. Very intense.

Sad but true. Kindred spirits are out there....just harder to find now. But keep looking, you'll find.

850mb looking better.

Quoting Progster:

That link you posted is very interesting, as not only does the storm get into the "950s" but it continues to exist for about 14 days and remains almost stationary, not that it could really go anywhere as it was all ready there and not a lot of 'effects,'to effect it.
Thanks for the link.

Ex-td7 looking better this afternoon may bring life to WKCaman.

Yes Petrol, on the visible I believe I see a circulation even on the surface.

Quoting Altestic2012:

The problem is they choose to listen to the wrong music and watch the wrong TV shows. So much of the hip hop and pop music today (that, which the popular "preppy" kids choose to listen to) as well as the mainstream TV shows on the network channels and Viacom (e.g. MTV, VH1, BET, Comedy Central, Spike) endorse sexual activity outside of a stable, healthy engagement or marriage, one-night stands, fighting, abuse, rape, murder, etc. There are the good bands like Metallica which endorse faith and strong morals and then the nameless ones which endorse--you know.

And the kids are watching right next to their folkes. Doesn't work unless you lead by example and just try to dictate what they should do. When we had a tv, I never watched anything with her to desensitise her to any of the above. Not to mention, I just don't like stuff like that myself. But if I were going to watch anything that would have it in it, would be after she was asleep. And then of course she'll form her own opinions about it all naturally without it seeming the 'norm'. She's 14 now, she doesn't wear make up or want to, she doesn't care about celebrities or pop/mainstream stuff. She knows she's different, and she seems quite proud of it, so, hopefully she'll be on course to make the most of herself for herself, and not just trying to get the attention of guys for her self esteem. As for the whole marriage thing...that's the key, a 'stable' one. My last husband ended up being abusive, so have been living as a single mom for 9 or 10 years. My first husband was a closet drug addict, so not any better! So after those 2, reckoned was better to go it alone despite how difficult it is financially. But, a stable home environment is key, fore me raising her alone has been the best way to give her that. My parents split when I was 14, and they hated that they had kids and made it clear! Sort of stereotypical, selfish 80's yuppies really LOL So wasn't a much better environment being raised by both LOL Not going to go more into this, but just saying from my point of view, take it or leave it...

Well this is certainly an interesting topic we are on.....i elect to not get involved

You guys do realize you have become your parents..dont you think their generation said the same thing about us and our culture when we growing up and MTV just came on on the air?..their parents also said the same thing when bandstand aired?..every generation there are some out there that tried to be over the top but in the end, we turned out okay (speaking for myself) as your parents did and so on..not giving an excuse to what our kids see and hear but they will probably be saying the same thing about their own children..you guys just gotten old..LOL..

my thing is be a parent and not a friend and your child will turn out fine

Why would they teach cursive in schools nowadays? I haven't seen anyone write in cursive in a long time so seems like a waste of time to me. If anything, teach how to read it.

LOL somehow I find that sad... I use cursive writing and I can't imagine an America where people don't know how...I mean in my day we went to school to learn the three R's...reading, righting, and rithmatic :) Glad I missed the grammar test I was never a good student. Break is about over so I will be going back outside to finish some painting as soon as I can make myself get up from here :)
