Bush and Cheney have stolen from the middle class and given everything to the rich. We have the biggest deficit in history, our economy is in shambles, and we're pouring trillions of dollars into a country we broke ourselves... I'd call that pretty bad!
Stolen what? What did " they" steal from you? Sounds like you are jealous those who have acheived something. List exactly what evil Bush took from the middle class. Quit chanting your mindless leftist hate spew and start thinking, pal.

nyc,
You didn't go wrong. You know that. You can do all you can and do it right, but you're going to have situations where they're self-absorbed and have no appreciation for things and expect to be taken care of.
I have a 17 yr old I struggle with. My wife spoiled the shlt out of him and was sort of working against me in a way(handing him money and driving him anywhere at his command, never holding him accountable for homework). She meant well and she loves him as much as I do. She was a spoiled only child of a single mother, so there ya go. My son is very lazy and expects hand outs all the time as a result. With my prodding(nice way to put it) and the fact that my wife is finally tiring of his lack of respect and whiny attitude, she has come around to my way of thinking and she's cracking down. He's 17 and he's appalled by the fact he has to get a job. Yeah, I pay for his nice cell phone even though he's a C student(no sports or other extracirricular stuff, just xbox). I'm not paying for his ass to drive, especially with the gas prices. So he better nut up.
Anyway, the best way I put it to my wife is this: When they get to a certain age and don't mature, you have to make life at home just uncomfortable enough, because it may be the best thing to motivate them to get out of the nest. That is my current strategy. He will not be in my basement at 25. Parenting is a blessing worth the trouble. Good luck.
I'm done ranting.
Thank you hotcarl. I firmly believe the Parenting issue is important. It came up so I thought I'd give it a whack here.
How about the warshing machine, lol? I made my children visit it every day for a week so they knew it would hurt them.
I like your strategy. Uncomfortable to me means jacka$$ alone to the bride. The whole, "you hate them" and "I don't" attitude is beginning to look like............
ROAD TRIP!
Have a great 4th.

This country is headed for financial colapse due to mindless spending on a needless invasion, deficite and overwhelming forien dept. All these sheep can talk about is obortion and Muslims, you know Muslims, the new communists.
I had to decipher what you wrote. i think you are trying to say the Iraq war is causing the economy to tank. I know you won't be able to read this without help, so why don't you pull out your dictionary so you can understand.
1) Our gas prices are outrageous because democrats have blocked oil and gas production in our country. Their ridiculous regulations have made it almost impossible to build any new refineries as well.
2) Democrats favor higher gas prices, and have been pushing for higher gas prices for years...i.e. John Kerry, Barack Obama,etc.
3) Democrats have long pushed ethanol and have set up target prices for corn which has pushed up the costs on what we eat.
4) Wait until Israel and Iran go to war. They are gearing up for it as we speak. The second Iran gets a nuke, then the middle east will have nukes flying all over the place. Then let's see what you liberal idiots feel about the " muslims".
Liberals are evil scouges on the earth. Their policies have destroyed Britain, are in the process of destroying Canada, and will definitely destroy America if we let an idiot like Barack Obama anywhere near the White House.

UncommonCents,
Why do you see things so black and white? To my thinking, you can fight terrorism by working collaboratively with others around the world to contain, harass, monitor, and put freezes on their money/assets. Mindlessly dropping bombs on innocent women and children does nothing in the forum of developing world allies. Who would want to get involved with psychopathic murderers? How far did that get Sadaam? (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bush ect. are an embarrassment to the US!)
I think the hatred you have for our military is breathtaking and very revealing. Here is a united states citizen... sitting on his a$$, enjoying the freedoms that our fighting men and women have died for, so he can label them as mindless murders of innocent women and children. This is a complete ingrate who hates his military, hates his country, and has not a smattering of a clue about anything in the world except when he criticizes his own country, a few idiots think he's " smart". Well listen, smart guy, if you hate your country so much, why don't you get your a$$ out, and allow the grownups to handle the problems of this country, punk.
