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 them when a child does something wrong is why we have this problem and that respect is missing in the parent and child relationship. There are a lot of children who have no healthy respect for their parents and until the parents start taking their rightful place as GOD to the child then the child will not have a healthy respect for the parents. Children need to have a healthy fear and awe of their parents. Parents need to have a healthy discipline in correcting their children without consequence from the law!!

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.

The power of prayer is zero.
At least the power of one of my farts can blow out a candle!

I'll have to stop doing it during Sunday mass!

Maybe it's because more people are praying for the bullets rather than the victims.

Bullshit cannot stop bullets

There are also several data points to suggest that prayer is not an effective cure for cancer. It may not even put a hedge of protection around church buses.

Ouch... that's where we need artificial intelligence to step up and take over.
