Copy and paste strikes again. Read my post above Or, just drug them up, that’s a lot easier. When someone says they don’t know what can be done about parenting other than just drug them up, and then tries to double down on it…. not sure I can even continue with the conversation with them. They’re either not serious and just trying to be stupid, or they’re too far gone

Wow This mentality is certainly part of the issue. Can’t do anything so just drug them.

I don’t think anyone can honestly distinguish the differences in parenting between the countries without spending ample time in those countries to get a handle on it. You certainly compare and contrast parenting through generations here in the US. Over the course of the 2000’s I have lived in the Great Lakes region, Colorado; and South Florida. Across the board I have seen an increase in parent driven entitlement, along with a parent driven decrease in coping skills. I said somewhere on here previously, we don’t force or teach kids coping skills nearly as much anymore. We don’t force kids into pressure situations with an average or better risk of failure. And often when ‘failure’ occurs, we don’t look at where we came up short and what we can do more or better, we make excuses, blame others, and make the kids feel like it was someone else’s malfeasance, rather than doing what the most successful people in the world do, which is fail over and over until they get it right. We are raising more and more kids like this, while also allowing them to have more and more access to these social media ‘influencers’, which was never around in generations past, and then sending them out in the real world.

Nope, that was much more significant.

And your tremendous contribution to the discussion is appreciated.

Yes will do for now. I’m tired. Enjoy Seattle.

That’s a lot of interesting words to write and yet still not answer my yes/no question. Can we at least agree there is a difference between disarm and regulate.

@mspart I read all of your quotes. Enjoy, and agree with each of them. I would ask in response what legislation is being proposed, or has been, that is asking to disarm the people of the United States, keeping in mind that there is a difference between disarming and well regulating? Can we at least start there, that there is a difference between disarming and regulating? It’s a lot more difficult to find a common ground starting from the extremes, rather than start from the middle and work from there.

Huh?

Not in that direct order, no. But using just a portion of the statement that you think helps your cause, instead of using the whole statement for what it is….kinda part of the problem, no? On that note, shall not be infringed is the last portion of that statement. Meaning: a well regulated militia shall not be infringed; the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Going further, it’s says nothing about guns. It says arms. It also does not say “the right to bear any weapon developed in the future of all mankind” (This is the where the well regulated part comes in)

That bath and then a nice spicy rub… Does make a good combo.

Why do people keep leaving out “well regulated”

That’s what I was curious about your pre process. I like to soak in black cherry/cranberry juice overnight. Good rub then go. I leave the fat cap on too. A lot of people say trim it down but I leave it on for the cook. It renders down and what’s left you literally just wipe off before you start the shred.

Why do people always leave “well regulated” out of that statement?

Covid and work from home man, it was rough. Vodka was a night thing. Sloped down to right after I logged off. Which sloped down to ah what the hell I’m home, 3:00 is good. Soon I had a bloody sitting on my couch at 10:30. The next morning another bloody and so on. About a week of that and I realized I was drinking vodka every morning for the last week. That was enough of that.

Used to be a vodka guy. Became too much of a vodka guy. Now it’s just beer and wine. sorry I’m not help.

Personally think it's more of a contribution from all as opposed to being a primary. Except for religion, I don't think religion in schools is a factor, just my opinion.

What's your process on that, just curious?

You didn’t think it was really about keeping the board clean did it you?

Can’t disagree with the majority of this. Particularly the last part. Except the part about we don’t have gun problem. We can have both a gun and a mental health problem, and we do. But as it pertains to guns/lethal weapons. Agree we cannot completely eliminate the desire for humans to kill other humans, and the means to find a way to do it. BUT, that kids have the ability to kill a person by stoning, does not mean the ability for an unfit person to easily obtain a weapon that will allow them to walk into a building and fire off a hundred rounds every couple minutes is not a problem. In fact is amplifies my point. How long diid it take for the whole scenario with the kids and rocks to end in death, vs how long did it take the Nashville shooter to kill, however many it killed? (I ask that not knowing much about the case you are referring to)

Whole hearted agreement. To add a branch under parenting.......developing coping skills. We don't want kids to have to cope with problems and feel uncomfortable anymore, we want to fix it for them and make sure they always feel nice and cozy all of the time. Then they get out in the real world.... Honestly, I don't think any of us on this board have the correct answers to this problem. That would take being heavily involved and invested in the work (research, etc) to carve out the best solutions. The biggest problem as you've pointed to, it's never going to happen until we sit down and talk. As long as both sides main priority is silencing and/or defending the other side's ideas on the issue it will continue to get more divisive. Two facts that can be and are mutually true: A gun sitting on a table with no one around it isn't going to shoot anyone. Likewise, a crazed unfit individual who doesn't have access to a gun isn't going to shoot anyone.

The donations are coming because of the school and its alumni. Very little to do with actual wrestling and more to do with wanting your school to be on top no matter the endevour. Universities have lifelong support from their alumni, an international wrestler not so much.

I do believe the value/worth of something or someone is as simple as that….whatever someone will pay. but… Name Image Likeness Collectives aren’t paying for NIL, they are paying for services.
