Puts you off consorting with them doesn't it?

My parents always told me not to build my first spudgun. I did anyway and then they didn't really care once they knew I wouldn't be an idiot with it.

Unfortunately in the USA with foster children and foster adopt, this is considered child abuse. I just lock everything away, and hope they live long enough to move out. What they do to themselves after they leave I'm not responsible for. Those kids will never spend any time in the shop near power tools. Such a waste of a training opportunity.

Some kids you simply are not allowed to teach. They don't know what they are missing.

Today...here as well. More's the pity. If you stop to think about it, the major degradation of our society, and boost in the crime rate came about at roughly the same time as "tolerance" and "feelings/rights" bull shite.

Coincidence? Those I grew up with whom were not "as" disciplined , have shall we say....a "weaker moral compass". While I'm not of a "religious" mind, I do find that there is wisdom in "spare the rod...spoil the child".

That's my mini rant...and my .02

I sort of agree, this political correctness is beginning to really piss me off. It's not like I run down the street yelling racial slurs, but soon I wont even be able to use the words "black", "brown", "dark" and "Nigeria"...
