The answer to the question about children and the guns and violence in schools boils down to GOD=PARENTS IN THE HOME.= I am not saying that parents do not love their children but what I am saying is that the parents who are not allowed to discipline their children by spanking them and correcting ...

HippieChick58 replies on May 20, 2018:

To discipline means to teach, and I happen to think that spanking is a poor form of teaching. When my kids needed to be taught a lesson I got creative and let the punishment fit the crime. I can't say I never dusted any britches, I'd usually find some thing they hated to do as punishment. I remember one vacation that they kept everyone awake. I gave them pads of paper, pencils and a bible (we were xian's at the time) and I made them write verses over and over again. My middle daughter still tells me that was the meanest thing I ever did. I was involved with my kids and never had to beat them. They are fabulous adults today.

If a woman wants an abortion should the father have a right to keep the child?

KKGator comments on May 20, 2018:

I could live to be 1000 years old and I will never understand what makes any man think he has any right to have an opinion about whether or not any woman can have an abortion if she wants/needs one. When men grow ovaries and uteri, they can make the decision for themselves. Until then, they don't ...

HippieChick58 replies on May 20, 2018:

@lerlo The children were brought into the world with the understanding we both wanted to be parents. We decided together the time was right to have a child. For our second and third living children I knew my rhythms so well I actually asked my ex after we went to bed "do you wanna make a baby?" and we made a baby that night. Because of travel/vacation schedules that was the only time it could have happened. So we were both committed to having another child. Were the children just mine, no. My ex was and still is a committed father. However, had we not been married and not been committed to having children and being a family I would never have had children with him. I controlled my fertility, it did not control me. I never had a pregnancy that was not wanted, and I only had one that truly was not planned.

If not, then the Father should have the right to walk away with no strings attached if ***he*** doesn't want it and she decides to keep it.

HippieChick58 replies on May 20, 2018:

Nope, you are responsible for the spilled seed that created the child. If you don't want to be a father you get to wrap your whopper jr or sterilization.

HippieChick58 replies on May 20, 2018:

@lerlo What kind of fantasy is this? Let me tell you how I lived my reproductive life. When I was young and foolish, I was at least smart enough to know I was in no position to care for a child. I used birth control pills. I was a woman in the Army in the late 70s and early 80s, those were crazy times. Yes, I was sexually active. Then I was married for many years and had babies when the time was right. I now have three adult daughters. I brought them all up understanding their bodies. When we thought there was a chance they would be sexually active we made sure they were protected with a good form of birth control. There were NO pregnancies when they were not planned and welcomed. I have two married children who have given me two grandchildren. If YOU want to father a child find a woman who is willing to have your child, but have that discussion before you move forward in the relationship. If you don't want to father a child make sure you are not spilling fertile seed. Not every woman has my ethics.

I'm not sure why I hadn't thought to buy a pack and play, but now that there are two babies it makes sense. She chased kitties, she started my robovac up and it scared her and she ran from it!

Rape culture is real: spare me your tears for toxic masculinity

njoy_life_2 comments on May 14, 2018:

I won't .. Can't go into details of mine. The abuse of the system is inexcusable. Yes, find out if it is true, but do NOT crucify real victims. The most hidden beasts are the child abusers. Both child abusers and rapists diminish humanity's future and potential. What could our race become if ...

The fanatics of the cultists have always been followers of the be fruitful part. Sadly they just figured out how to do it and make a profit. I find them disgusting.

Thank you for sharing this. I lost both parents to different forms of cancer, but my mom we lost especially young. She succumbed 2 days after her 61st birthday. Thanks again.

HippieChick58 replies on May 13, 2018:

@SimonCyrene My mom died at 45, I was a teenager. I am thankful I had her as long as I did. That must have been really tough for your dad, that is a lot of little kids!

I had to take a break from torturing the Conservative Atheist Group & come here for some relief.

Mooolah comments on May 12, 2018:

So I wasn't really trolling them. Trying to reach them with facts but of course facts are not important to them. They are all opinion & insults. But it was entertaining for a minute.

UltimateMike comments on May 11, 2018:

Go to church. Sing along with the songs. Make the best of it. It's not like you'll catch fire or anything

HippieChick58 replies on May 12, 2018:

If I thought I'd catch fire I'd go for sure! They'd be talking about that forever!

Eh, we're all guilty of that from time to time. When I screw up, I just own up to it. I hate when people double down on their mistakes.

@ProudMerry a dose of humility is good for the soul (if we have one), at least it keeps the ego in check. And no one is going to remember next week.

Love them all, especially that last one, don't know if I have the courage to post that on FB or not.

HippieChick58 replies on May 10, 2018:

@shockwaverider Not many, any more. I lost or dropped loads of friends after the election, and then I believe many have dropped me as I'm a tad radical. No great loss, the real people and the people that are real friends either know me and love me or are related to me and stuck. Although I have a son of a cousin who is one of the trumpheads. Sometimes he gets annoying. But family. Unless he gets more annoying, and then he's done.

What do you to make yourself feel sexy?

HippieChick58 comments on May 9, 2018:

I feel sexy when I feel good about myself, when I feel confident, happy, relaxed, and enthusiastic. I feel sexy when I am with someone who thinks I am smart, funny, and is just happy to be with me. And now that I think of it, it has been a damn long time since I felt sexy. :(

HippieChick58 comments on May 7, 2018:

I prefer to use a full size keyboard. I'm a dinosaur.

HippieChick58 replies on May 8, 2018:

@FrayedBear I am a dinosaur, that is more technology I'd have to buy and set up. Yes, it sounds simple.... but I make it challenging. And then there is the size of the screen too.

I thought I'd float a new group idea, any Boomers interested?

UUNJ comments on May 8, 2018:

Is the group only for memories, or might current interests and concerns be brought up? For example, many younger Boomers are in the Sandwich Generation now, helping both young adult children and elderly parents. Also, I’m a sexuality educator specializing in sex and aging and would be happy to ...
