Wait... what's the topic here?

Started with being about kids being jerks to their parents.

Alright. 🙂

Yeah, and it's a serious problem. Too often is the attitude, to scold and discipline, rather than sit down and teach. Most parents seems to think "teaching" just encompasses the other listening and accepting what they say. Resultingly they are very impersonal towards their kids, leaving them effectively fostered in their own "home." We have a generation of parents who scold, scorn, and belittle instead of listening, hearing, and teaching. It's no wonder the youth often feel forsaken. It doesn't help that older folks tend to dig their heels in when challenged...

Yup. One of the recurring attitudes in the book on the criminal mind I'm reading is that, regardless of whether the doctor was interviewing a teenager or an adult, they talked about, "why should I have to listen to xyz? why should I do something I don't want to do?" Every time, it's about benefiting the self and not thinking outside of the self. An adult or authority figure ONLY disciplining will not break through the mind of helping someone understand the choice to serve and love others.

I think that's also a missing component. That love is a choice we make for those around us, whether they please us or not, whether it helps us or not. It's not an easy thing to solve, but an attitude of blame and power dynamics will... definitely not help.

It's tough love without the love. As one grows the set of gloves, so to speak, that they are treated with do not change. Hypocritical expectations also play into this a lot, demanding adult treatment while giving out kid treatment. It's a miracle we even get "functioning" adults out of such a process. *Raise adults, not children* is the mantra all too often left by the wayside

they also forgot no-parent homes tend to do worse than 1-parent homes <:CursedEmoji:763140778770825247>

@djream Do you know the case of Timothy Joseph Boomer vs. The State of Michigan?

I do not

and I'm a Michiganite. I'm about to get schooled, ain't I? 😜

So for the Background, there was a law written in the state of Michigan where you can be arrested for Swearing, or using profanity infront of Women and children.

Joseph Boomer was arrested as he cursed from falling into the water while kayaking with a party nearby

and in my home town, still on the books, a woman for wearing a skirt that's higher than her ankle

He was arrested instantly

Now what seems wrong with this?

You must grant me that I believe that we need a new revolution to negate most off the laws that has been signed in since the original signing. Our original Constitution was what, 10 pages? Now the laws that govern our lands about is in the millions. It's much too complicated

The law you refer to seems to be in conflict with our First Amendment, and thus, null and void

Well, actually it was appealed based on the 14th Amendement. But let's bring this back to the moral side of the Argument.
