After reading wmisplayr1’s journal entry today I thought I’d have my own little say about it all.

My comments were:

“I don’t have kids, but I agree with the spanking and the saying no to them. I don’t agree with using implements to spank, such as hairbrushes, belts etc, to me that moves from spanking to beating.
There is too much of this “spanking makes children violent” rubbish floating about. Go back a generation when spanking was in full flow. There was less violence then than there is now. The trouble isn’t the violence; it’s children growing up with no boundaries and no respect for anything or anyone. All kids have now is the “I want” attitude.”

I think we give children today far too much freedom, they don’t have to work for anything, they take what they want and they don’t care who they hurt in the process. People are having children younger and younger, while they are still children themselves. They haven’t had time to fully grow up, so how can they set an example for their children.

I see girls of 16-19 with toddlers, they either ignore them while they talk to their friends, or they spend the entire time scream, shouting and swearing at them. So we wonder why children take no notice?
These girls have missed out on the teen years having the children, so they then seem to think that they can go back to having their missing section of life and the child shouldn’t interfere with that. Sorry hun, you were in such a hurry to grow up, so deal with the consequences!

As you may guess this is a pet hate of mine. Everyone from the age of about 12 wants to have sex, usually (or at least when I was at school) as often as possible, and in a lot of cases with as many people as possible.

Morality has been turned around, so has respectability, standards and expectations. Not so long ago, it was almost a stoning offence to have a child out of wedlock, if people had sex before marriage, they certainly didn’t announce the fact, and children had more respect for people and had to work for what they got and you certainly didn?t announce any homosexual feelings.

Now here we are, sex before marriage is not only considered ?normal? it?s expected and you?re thought of as a freak if you haven?t ?done it,? actually getting married is classed as outdated, just living together is fine (have you thought you may have commitment issues?) teenage girls are producing children like rabbits, children have no respect for anyone, including themselves and being ?gay? is considered trendy, or better yet bi-sexual so you can get the best of both worlds. (*see note at end of rant)

Everything is turned upside-down, the worlds going to hell in a handcart, and we?re wondering why children are turning out they way they are, why there is so much violence and crime, why divorce rates are so high (don?t get me started on that one) and why the prevailing attitude is Me-ism. It?s hardly a surprise. I wish we could go back to simpler times. Way-back-when; those days before television and all the expensive electrical junk that we all just HAVE to have. Back when life was life rather than something that happened around you while you sat back and watched TV, played computer games and spent endless hours playing with your mobile phone.

Well I?m all ranted out for now.

*Note at end of rant

Before I offend anyone I want to explain the gay and bi-sexual comments. I know there are people who are genuine. It just seems like being ?gay? or being ?bi? has become the new trend and everyone is rushing to jump on the bandwagon. There?s just too much shoving it in people?s faces. It?s more like they are saying/doing it to attract attention rather than it being a genuine feeling they have.

I don?t think I?ve managed to word that last paragraph very well, but I don?t want people to get the wrong impression while I was in mid-rant. If I find a better way of wording it I?ll give it a bit of editing later on.
