I think parents need to spend more time raising decent human beings than encouraging celebrity worship.

Good point. Another might be getting back to teaching their children that being people of integrity matters more than materialism.

If you can''t see how sick this country is without blaming it all on Bush, you are a lost cause.

Listen, I would have said the same thing if someone blamed this on Clinton. We are all responsible for our own actions. We are also responsible for raising decent human beings.

To robstrck: You are upset that people blame Bush for a kid''s lies and deception. Well, I seem to remember a President who got blamed for teens *** drive after an admirer gave him a bj. The question is--- Does the behavior of a President in public (lying us into a war) have more impact on our youth than receiving a very warm kiss from an adult admirer in private?

Maybe you should have used money spent on education to get your teeth fixed. Cause from what I''ve read, it was money wasted.

You''re right. Prior to 2000 we were all living in Eden. No lies, no dishonesty, no murder. Everyone living together in harmony.

Yeah, like what the h-e-l-l happened anyways? Things have certainly gone downhill in parenting.

Kids rule the roost these days. Mom & Dad run around like chickens with their head cut off trying to please them. "Yes, Princess. No, Princess.

Not only true, but sad, disgysting, and insane as well.

Where did these parents get the idea that parenting meant groveling before a child?
