Anyone else following the story about the Dozier school in Florida.

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 7 Aug 13

I have. It is disturbing to say the least. It was a reform school in Marianna Florida that opened in the early 1900 and was finally closed recently. It was known for harsh abuse and a bunch of boys just "disappeared". Well after...

lilwonders Personally it bugs me greatly. Why? Well because we are suppost to be country of the brave and the free. It's not sounding that way to me. Also any power given to the government WILL be misused or abused. Look at Hoover.

why is a parent so strict

William Patrick Murphy @moneyforme (1) • Wichita, Kansas 2 Aug 13

A parent is strict because they don't want you to get hurt, or injured severely. If they weren't strict you would be a wild animal.

lilwonders @cupkitties depends on how over protective they are. I will admit to being very overly protective but kids are very young.

Conformity:)

Noelle Katrina Magallon @KNoelle (14) • Manila, Philippines 30 Jul 13

There are so many people that want us to conform to the pattern of their own liking. A lot of the time the pressure can get to me and I can just feel that the demands that people are putting on me are just suffocating me. And I...

lilwonders @dawnald it was a military judge and a military court so they have different rules and laws. plus you know they were going to come down hard on him to discourage anyone else from telling the truth.

lilwonders I think it depends on which version of vampires you are looking at. if it the horror movie ones...yep they are the bad guys. but if you look at twilight, hemlock grove, etc... they are the good guy. so i think it is a matter of which era of vampire you are...

lilwonders I don't want a one payer system because the government can not competently run any program. I don't like insurance companies running my health. But I sure as heck don't want our government to do it. I seriously want an option C here.

lilwonders @dawnald the government is finding more and more ways to keep the public from being able to have their voice heard in any meaningful way. I hate the "free speech zones" they set up for protests. the WHOLE country is suppost to be a free speech zone.

lilwonders this scares the heck out of me. not only it is unconstitutional. but you KNOW it is going to be "Hoovered". This is a power the government shouldnt have because any power the government gets WILL be abused.

My Mother Can Rest in Peace

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 26 Jun 13

Back in 2008, when California passes proposition 8, which effectively banned same sex marriage in my state, I posted a blog (and a discussion here) titled "my mother is turning over in her grave". The Supreme Court of the US just...

lilwonders I really don't understand this. What two consenting adults do as far as marriage or in the privacy of their bedrooms is no ones business. People need to stop forcing their life choices on other people. Government needs to get out of marriage altogether.

lilwonders Mine main problem with this whole thing is making it mandatory and using the IRS as an enforcer. If they want to make the exchanges and offer these programs fine....but don't make it mandatory and don't use the federal government as its attack dog.

Contradictory posts?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 27 Jun 13

lilwonders She's not evil. She has a different opinion than your friend. People need to learn to disagree without being disagreeable. Different isn't bad, evil or wrong.
