Joe,
Got this in an email and I thought it would be good when it comes to the behavior of the students in school
The other day someone at a store in our town read that a
Methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, “Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?
I replied I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning, drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom’s garden and flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad’s fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood and if my mother had ever known I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say or thinks. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin; and if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, American would be a better place.
God bless the parents that drugged us."

Amen! The bar of soap was worse than the fly swatter.
AMEN... i try to induce those drugs into my kids everyday.
Oh man, my mom was the biggest drugger.
I guess their parents (which are our children) were not drugged enough. Hopefully the kids of today will do some drugging when they become parents and turn this world around.
I can tell you that my children were drugged and even now as adults they know that they are never too old to get their behinds wooped.
Hallejuah & Amen!!
I washed my sons mouth out with soap for saying a four letter word starting with s...he looked at me and said mom wash it out again I think there are still some bad words in there. So thru the tears from laughing quietly I washed his mouth out again. He is 30 years old and I have never heard any "bad" words since. Today I would be charged with child abuse.
His four children have a drug problem too. God bless him for being a drugger.
And the lack of "drugs" and being "drug" is why teachers have the problems that they do these days. They are raising America's kids these days, practically by themselves, unlike the old days when it was shared at home and school!
brings back such memories of my parents.......thank you
forgive me, but let us not pretend to be something we are not. I am 56 and i grew up in this town. I was there when we went from a "no one smokes it 1969" to a "let's party 1974". And sex? It was no problem for most of us. I know business people, housewives,teachers, lawyers and judges. We all have a past, and no one was wilder than our generation. Those who are honest, know I speak the truth.

I totally agree with you!! Adults in this age bracket are the absolute biggest Hypocrites I have ever seen. I in my teens went to William Penn in New Castle, and was one of hundreds that went on strike to get jeans, and smoking areas in the school. We partied our a$$es off, when we could. With 2 degrees in my purse, I have 3 Beautiful girls that know respect and know how I grew up! 3/4 of the adults wouldn't be caught telling there children about there true lives, in fear of today's society. Damn Chickens!!
I work in a profession whereby I see the ramifications of the parents who - god forbid - did not use the good old hand on the bottom once in a while and created self-absorbed brats with no character or accountability for their actions. All they know is give me more. Work is the four letter word they have the biggest problem with. We have a Washington DC full of these individuals.
amen!A big thank you to my parents!
The problem with being "drug" likethe story is that no-a-days you get drug into court over things that were done to us. Yes, I spanked my son. But I was taken to court by my ex just becasue she thought it was wrong and that timeouts were what was needed. The judge listened and finally said that reasonable corporal punishment is allowed and that I was in the clear. That is the problem. Every damn bleeding heart liberal does not want anyone to be the subject of any punishment for any actions they performed. Let's take all this bleeding heart crap and throw it out and let us go back to the 60s and 70s. Yes, it had their problems but they were nothing like the problems we have with kids today.
btw...my son is a great son. He is now grown and now understands why things were like they were. My revenge on him will be when he has his own kids. lol

Well the easy answer to the question: The CIA has gained tremendous wealth and power over the last generation.
First they gained wealth and power from smuggling heroine during the Viet Nam War.
Second Immanuel Noreiga (placed into power by then CIA Chief George Bush Sr) helped the CIA gain tremendous power by assuring the shipment of cocaine through Panama. He got too big for his proverbial "britches" and was later taken down.
Then, the U.S. maintained its power over the poppies by preventing the Soviets from taking over Afghanistan in the 1980's. The CIA used their agent, Tim Osmond to create the Mujahadeen Gang in Afghanistan to fight off the Soviet invasion.
Also the U.S. has kept our borders wide open for decades now to facilitate the import of illicit drugs from Mexico. Our Nation has managed to imprsion more people than the rest of the world combined for drug offenses (war of drugs) and thereby assured a steady revolving door of drug dealers in poor communities throughout our great land.
Now of course we have U.S. military personnel guarding the valuable poppy production in Afghanistan. This was necessary because we made our darlin' Tim Osmond take the fall for the false flag attack on our Country back in 2001. The Clintons and the Bush's have made the secret government a LOT OF MONEY over the years with drugs. Drugs have become our middle name: The United Drug States of America.
My opinion.

living the same thing. my kids explained to me that the school teaches them to report what "they consider is child abuse" ie corporal punishment. now they are taught that even raising your voice is abuse. you are now supposed to bribe them to obey. the system is totally screwed up and this generation is suffering
5:55 am-You are absolutely correct. I know adults who are still pulling our mommy and daddy's credit card when its time to pay the tab. God forbid they loose the old money and have to resort to standing on their own two feet and working. I have more respect for a toilet scrubber.
My parents quit, it altered the course of my life. I suppose that pain will stay with me for the rest of my life.
My son came home from school told a big lie. Instead of finding out the other side first, I went off like an idiot and was embarassed to no end. I came home and spanked him good for telling the lie. He threatened to call social services for child abuse. I handed him the phone. I told him to call because they would come pick him up, take him to live in a strange house with the clothes on his back. I would stay right in our house and be just fine. That was the only and last time he wanted to call social services for being punished. Don't take this post wrong, very rarely, I had to resort to corporal punishment, but if he needed he got it. I am also very proud to say he graduated from school, has a nice job, home, family and volunteers in our community.
