Now, you say you dont believe in God. I can respect that, as it is your choice, your right, and your perrogative. But what you believe can never change the reality that God is real and all of His words in scriptures are always true. That's what they all say. Now I just see a fanatic (a immoral lying fanatic at that) who would have a child die. You are not particularly unique either. Fanatics do stuff like this all of the time.... and worse. And they even lie and do immoral things to cover themselves.

The article mentions the real reason why they are giving the vaccine and why at this age. Doesn't matter. Your attitude of "let them die" for a utopian concept has been flushed out. Now if you are cool with that then so be it. But the courts would probably take your kids away if it came down to a medical emergency.

Lets see...... a Scuba trip to Catalina in early June. Then a trip to Klamath Falls (wrestling tournament), Crater Lake (still had 15 feet of snow in late June), and Redwood National Park at the end of June. August will be another dive trip, this time it will be a multi-island trip in the Channel Islands. I got the little one diving now so I am trying to get her experienced. She'll have over 40 dives by the end of summer. She loves it and was wearing me out on the last trip.

I do not think your post helps or add anything worth while. That's nice. I have Islamic friends and also friends in Israel. That's nice. I do not see anything to be pleased or smug about. Please refrain from attempting to read my mind...... you aren't very good at it.

Extreme and/or crazy religious types will take this as (yet another) end times sign......

Sgallen are you familiar with what the bible says about fornication? What are your thoughts on this: My thoughts are; I don't care what the Bible says. Even moreso because people like yourself would rather see a young one die because of purity in a religious belief, than take a common sense approach.

LOL.... spoken like the parent who would see their children (or grandchildren) die and be okay with it because they deserved it.

To those who chose not to see good and evil this way, why are family and doing good things important to you? Initially because it is the way I was raised. As I get older I also see the results. I have a bunch of stories. My most recent one is the kid I coached to be a HS All American a few years back.... he calls me often and every fathers day. His kid is on my fridge and mine on his. He recently offered Reni and I to move into his big house (he is doing very well) at an unreal low rent. Including our pets and everything. We probably won't do that, but the offer is serious and always there. And he knows he could come here anytime as well. He is family by association, and it is what family does. By example my child is learning the same.

Maybe but I think she actually believes such tripe. Every now and then I like to try to stay in denial, but you are probably right. (sigh)

"WELL OK THEN" 'SLAP 'SLAP (SF FLIPS HER HEAD WITH A SNOOTINESS OF A PRINCESS) AND WALKS OUT THE DOOR Thanks for the great big smile of my face!

Do you have a tracking number from UPS so I can monitor its progress? That is good. I am going to have to plagerize this one.

IDIOCY ALERT. No explanation needed. Perhaps trolling as well?

WELL OK THEN!! SF - Remember when I recently said I thought you had changed? The little back and forth with Jason is sorta what I sensed the last time around. I found the bold face as interesting as well. You seem to have hardened. I find that sad.

I still don't think 'Monica' is genuine though. ...but I won't say anymore about who I think 'she' is. Hmm.... somebody just stirring the pot. I'll keep that in mind.

I think Monica is of the type that would rather see a person die - because they deserved it or to make a religious point - then do something to make sure it doesn't happen. It is unfathomable to most folks, but there are an awful lot of people like that out there. JW's and blood transfusions are a somewhat similar example.

Agreed!

I should also add...... outside of religious reasons past the age of 20 or so I have no issues with sex outside of marraige in monogomous relationships.

I have yet to see any benefit to sex outside of marriage. For youngsters I agree. But I am a 46 year adult now, who has no plans on ever getting 'married' again, and I sure as heck don't plan on staying celibate, nor being without a significant other.

Finian - That spanking thing can backfire. Sorta taught my dad that lesson when I was 14. I had developed some combat skills (wrestling/boxing) and at 14 had enough strength to test them out on an adult marine. We got after it. Tore up the house. Freaked out my mom and brothers. He eventually won but never attempted to go that route again as I actually 'liked' it. It wasn't that he was abusive..... I was just that way as a kid. As Traveler mentioned..... can't treat all the kids the same.

Sounds good. In fact it sounds like part of Gods plan, not Satans. Dang! Back to the drawing board.

Welcome to my life. It is a personal decision but a workable answer is when it affects your saftey and sanity, and there is no real way to stay safe and sane if they are around. Or in my case when I had my ex arrested..... the saftey of my child being potentially compromised. The first go around with that one was my saftey and sanity.

How did you spend your love today? How about.... quality time with my child. Oh, and also giving some feedback to a couple of needy students who are actually doing a great job and just need to hear it, on what should be a day off. Does that work? Or is it Satans plan?

One suggestion (and I don't let my kid use it because of predators and viruses) given because conservative type old guys do not seem to understand kids ver well...... make sure and stress that you understand there are things that kids actually like about myspace, when addressing why you are not allowing it. If you demonize it only, with kids who have already experienced the positive and fun aspects of the medium, then you have an excellent chance of having kids (they are kids afterall) with whom you have lost credibility with, and who may therefore do something behind your back. Just a thought from a guy who knows an awful lot of kids who do just that. And unless you lock them in a room 24/7, kids are pretty smart and can find ways around the rules if you don't make a pretty reasonable case.

Hee hee hee...Sgallan...THE HAMMER! That's what I'm talkin' about!! No doubt. Take one out like that, hang up the body, and the rest get the hint. Winnie - LOL...... your kid obviously has this kid thing down. Unless there is some sort of mental health issue, it isn't the kids who are 'bad'. Just kids who need someone to let them know their behaviors are not correct. They aren't little adults afterall. They are kids.

Not here. We have the computer because it is a learning tool. But the rest isn't in the house. No thumb work outs around here.
