And by great I also told her that she needs to be humble and help as many people that she can. I told her that greatness is never needing to act like you're superior..

Obviously it takes much more than simply fear and reward to help a child become an adult. But encouragement and discipline are the walls built on a foundation of selfless love.

But, it meant I could do subjects I wanted to do and was good at - as opposed to being forced to do what my parents wanted.
its just that my parents decided to let me make the decisions instead of forcing theirs on me and making me do stuff I didn't like doing.

ColinEssex said:In a country where bribery and corruption is rife at every level, it almost seems to endorse this as being the way to achieve.

What are you on about man, I haven't done anything other than correct your mistakesjsanders said:Well I tried to make a nice little thread on kids, and you turned into yet another unpleasant display of your neurotic obsessions.
Rich don’t you know that the most important lessons in life are learned in kindergarten?

I see the lynch mob's leading the posse againBrianwarnock said:Bullshit Rich and you know it. I don't know what is bugging you these days but you are totally O.T.T. in your anti american babblings, it has moved on from enjoyable banter to be totally thread distroying.

Well that's good, now get on the telephone and get everybody to go and vote against the terrorist in the White House
What's the American term for in denial, ah yes, American
Brianwarnock said:of course you are correct, probably, I can't be bothered to read all the posts but a quick scan of the early posts produced these
