'Babies' Rule the World?

Sit down! Sit down! Put it back! No! No! Oftentimes, I have noticed that parents and guardians publicly try to discipline their children... with little or no luck. Why is it these babies, toddlers and teenagers are so difficult to control?
At times I think some of these 'little ones' have too much freedom! When one has too much freedom, they tend to misuse it! How on this Earth did a child get to start being in control of their parents or guardians? I do not have perfect children but there is no way possible in this given lifetime that any of my children will be allowed to react to us (parents), their teachers, their older family members or other adults in a rude manner. I am very aware of the fact that each person has their varied views on parenting. We need ensure that our children which ought to be the future learn the appropriate ways to react both in public and private areas. Can you imagine some of these apparent rude children being the future!
I have had several experiences observing children being rude to their parents or some other adult and was just so appalled all the time at these events. Child hitting mother, screaming at parent because they want their own way,some teens decide to do drugs, get promiscuous , etcetera. If we really care about these future children we have learn proper parenting skills in dealing with them as well as be firm. Adults of children need to have clear definitions as to the boundaries. We do not need to allow our children to react like the so called 'norm.' I am from a different culture and yes our children are protected by 'Children Services' too but oh no , when they are rude they get spanking! or some serious worthy enough punishment which put them back on their tracks. No, I did not say abuse, I said punishment. Yes, we spank them, publicly or privately. I know the rules in USA are wired differently and at times the kids are told 'certain things' which I think help to cause them to react the way some of them do.
Call 911, call Children Services, you belong to Bush! Blah blah blah. Let us see who will come and get them when they fall doing the wrong thing!

Rich/Poor

It is rather amazing how life has so many different levels of imbalances. I am annoyed when people use money to do weird things and there are so many important things to do in this world. For example helping the needy or improving an area of the depleting environment.
As far as I can see, there appears to be no more middle class. It is just rich and poor.The margin has become so wide. Is this how it should be? I do not think 'certain ' groups of humans care enough to understand the disparity or to even try to do something about it.
Why on earth would any sensible person want to spend so much money on any piece of art? What about the ordinary artists who use just regular affordable materials? I guess their great work will not be sold.The question is, Can we do anything about this distinct disparity between rich and poor?
Even worse, these extraordinary sales took place on two of the arguably worst days for global finance in the last decades! Hmmm? Well, I guess these folks have no need to worry about the failing economy's effect on others because they have reasons to be content. Who will take care of the poor? Who is looking out for the 'little' people? Who will consider the poors' interests? I sense much selfishness and ignorance on the part of 'certain' groups.
I wonder if the 'new' government in United States of America could assist significantly in aiding to redce some of this disparity as well as some of the nonsense occurring in the global finance markets. Maybe, we all have to play our part and get more involved in whichever way we possibly can because this will affect us all one way or another.

Smile..Get over it!

Mr and Mrs DoIt always enjoy each other as husband and wife. Mrs DoIt likes to surprise her husband, so one afternoon she decided to wait naked in her living room for her husband. To her surprise, her momther-in-law (in her late 60's) came in and saw her. The mother-in-law asked her why is she naked. Mrs DoIt told her that it is her 'birth suit' and that her husband loves it. The mother-law-in-law decided to copy Mrs DoIt and laid naked in her own living room the next day waiting on her hubby. He came in and was stunned. He asked the mother-in-law what was up with that. Her reply, "This is my 'birth suit'." The husband shouted with disgust, 'Well you need to go get it IRONED!"

I hope I made you laughed or at least smile. The point I am trying to make is that we need to smile more often. I have noticed that many people walk around looking so gloomy and sullen. Some react as if the world is on their shoulders. People, come on.Whatever it is, life goes on. No, i am not happy everyday but I try to think about happy occasions so I can at least smile. I think a smile can be contagious and that is a great thing! Join in and let us try to contaminate the world with smiles. Stop!Smell the flowers in the garden. Say a cheerful ,'hi' to someone. Unplug the earphones from your ears and be aware of sounds around you. You may hear something hilarious. Look at a baby and take note of his/her beauty.

A smile can help to limit wrinkles. Smiles uplift the human's spirits. Smiles make our faces look pleasant. They can make us look more approachable. Enjoy a happy moment while you can. Watch a comedy with few friends and burst out into laughter (and or tears of joy).I am aware of the ocean of problems we can be affected by but please just try to smile. The only way to get rid of a problem is to solve it..so if you can not what will you do? Walk around all day and look solemn? No.If you do not like history, change it... Get the point?
My next suggestion is whenever you feel sad , think about someone being in a situation worse than you are. For example, you are sad because the dinner at home was not what you wanted...;think about those WITHOUT dinner. We are complaining about the price of gasoline; what about those without access to a vehicle or the fare for the bus ride? Feeling sad about your pay being insufficient, thank God you have a job. What about those who do not have and are faced with many obstacles in trying to get employment.
Smile, smile, try to be happy. Things will be better some day. Have hope... Go check out hilarious videos on www.derrickcomedy.com, youtube, or listen to prank calls on steverharveyshow.com. Find something to smile about.Relief some of your stress or tension, just smile.
