1 response

MrCommonSense I'm going to assume you mean the United States, if that's correct then, Yes there is enough being done about AIDS. If people don't know about AIDS by now then they must be living under a rock. I personally haven't gone a day without reading something or...

Do you believe the government should regulate discipline methods?

Kaldonya @Kaldonya (277) • United States 23 Jan 07

How do you feel about the government telling you what is legal and what is not legal as to how to discipline your children? Rumor is going around that the Senate is thinking about abolishing spanking - saying that it is illegal -...

MrCommonSense The government has no right telling parents how they can and can't discipline their own children. We are talking about spanking, not abuse. It is already against the law to abuse a child, spanking is not abuse!!! We are getting to the point where there is...

It Doesn't Take A Genius To Figure It Out - Why I Post What I Post

misskatonic @misskatonic (3723) • United States 22 Jan 07

Oftentimes when I start a discussion that involves anything relating to Mylot, I get a handful of responses asking me why I'm bothering. Either I'm told 'it's stupid to complain!' - oddly enough, even when I'm *not* complaining -...

MrCommonSense Unfortunately there are way too many people who don't have common sense. It seems to me there are becoming more and more people without common sense. These people have "blinders" on, they can only see one way. It is either too much work or they simply don't...

Personal Responsibility

jfglassworks @jfglassworks (128) • United States 15 Jan 07

I have noticed that our culture is moving farther away from taking responsibility for ones actions. We have moved into an era of blame. It seems that everywhere I go, I see people blaming others for their own mistakes. I am...

MrCommonSense This is a pet peeve of mine, people always seem to be looking for somebody else to blame. What they need to do is look in the mirror and be honest with themselves. I'll start with smokers. I have known since the 1960's when they first started putting...

What do you think should be the punishment?

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5017) 20 Mar 19

If I were the mom of the victim, I want my daughter's friend to rot in jail. The suspect pleads guilty, and she will be behind bars for one year. I think the suspect deserves more than that. The victim could have died. She...
