Seems to be a new trend in the US, small broken families, buy hey Bud Light is still cheap.

Btw, I am not anti anything, even though some may get that drift. I just tell it like I see it.
I think we all "tell it like we see it." Of course, we all don't see it the same way, but that's what makes the world go around.

This country is in a very sad state of affairs when people can't even raise their own children or if they do, they aren't doing a great job. Oh well, I raised mine, they're wonderful adults with morals and values that I greatly admire, and I needn't worry about others. By the way, I don't do alcohol, so I haven't a clue how cheap Bud Light is.

I totally agree with you about parents not being what they used to be. Of course, I am generalizing, I mean of course there are great parents in all cities and states. But it seems there are way too many single parent homes, or homes where both parents work way too much, and kids are not getting the right messages and direction.

I, like you, do not worry about others business. However, when others consist of almost everyone else, then it could cause a problem for my extended family and friends. Its hard to raise kids to have morals and values that are admired, when every one and every thing around them appears to be without morals......morals and values have become old fashioned it seems.

But of course no one will really admit this...........of course I teach my kids morals and values, but morals and values of my choosing......or of MTV's and Myspaces, youtube, etc.

Whats the high school graduation rate now a days in US, about 50%. So only half the kids have the drive, ambition and discipline to even finish grammar school? But they know how to use the internet, so they'll be alright? And of course these high school dropouts make excellent parents, dont they? I mean, they know they can rely on foodstamps, housing, wic, medicare, and their Grandparents.........so why try right?

And just because its the 4th of July, almost. I'll say this, freedom can be abused. Seems the mindset in this country of ours now is, I can do whatever the heck I want to, I can raise my kids however I want to, I can get married as many times as I want to. I can lay on the couch as long as I want to. America is free, and it is the peoples choice how they wish to use or abuse this freedom.

Well Bud Light is not as cheap as Natural Light.

Default Are Texas women wilder than women from all other states

I will tell you that Texas women are wild,beautiful and wonderful. They know who they are and are grounded. Be a man and treat your ladies with respect and friendship and you will be rewarded many times over! Do not put on the airs like many ignorant yankees do and you will do fine.

This is how Identify myself. I know who I am and even when jerks have to be intolerant and judgmental it only makes me more aware of what I have to offer. BTW, it's not that I need your approval: I have found my SO, who happens to be my best friend.

It's actually sad that I have to come up with a comeback because of the couple of ruded dudes on here. This is for you 2 Joe-Blows who have to be rude and say that if you are loud you are ignorant: NO, YOU are truly ignorant. I do agree that "loud" can be obnoxios, but I am more along the variety of excited and happy about life to the point that I can't contain it in my proper little female self. You can keep those wall-flower ladies, cause i certainly wouldn't want to have to fill that role.
