god forbid i should ever have to face these problems for real. dealing with immature roommates is nightmare enough.
and should i be doubly cursed with a girl child, i’d either kill myself or the rest of the world.
good luck with your own puppies. teach them honesty, forthrightness and courage. honesty to admit when they dont know or if they’re wrong, forthrightness to stand up for what they do know, courage to oppose the tide.

i dont remember where, but i read someone actually say “if you own kids…” i thought that was awesomely sick.as an adult child, i think i could have used more discipline and less choices. responsibility only came late, after many many fines, bad credit and such. i’m still quite the underachiever.
bad parenting? ok. but i’d be a fool think that i’d be any better. i wouldn’t ask the school to be parents, only that they provide an environment where the kid would and must learn responsibility, discipline, skills, knowledge and critical thinking of course and self reliance. my own responsibilities in those areas would be limited to providing that environment. leading by example would be futile, encouraging that which i’m not would be obviously hypocritical to a child. i’d want my kid to be better than me, not the same.
ozzie:
do you have a link for your per pupil expenditures claim?i have no doubt that schools affect housing. you see it here every day, the thing everyone always mentions is the school district. i question whether it’s worth it, to spend so much more money on a home in a “good” school district vs private school. i brought up boarding school as the solution to education, environment and location (ie., private school being too far away from where ever you may live).

Participantthat’s something that i’ve been wondering. “the school district” argument… private schools can’t be more expensive than a 1 mil tract house, good schools dont stay good forever and how good can the education be when the education process starts at home anyway?
if i ever have the misfortune of owning kids, i’d send them off to boarding school. isolate them from family financial matters (and the associated arguments), keep them in a stable environment while the family might move as real estate or job conditions change, teach them independance, prepare them for adulthood and protect them from the politics of education…

Participantactually, they’d be mining h3. apparently, hummers are the best known fuel for fusion and the moon is chock full of them.
on a related note, dow (i think) bought the patent for cold fusion, possibly to grow h3’s rather than have to mine them. hummers for everyone!!11!

Participantif i were a bank and i just woke up surrounded by zombies and bad loans, i would…
kill the zombies. aim for the head.
roll the bad loans into other bad loans. 10 year interest only, 50 year terms.
“persuade” the govnt to increase immigration quotas, keep devaluing the dollar to increase exports, push stiffer bankruptcy/default laws, essentially establishing debtor’s prisons.i’d want to keep borrowers locked in to their inflated mortgages at all costs. by also encouraging exports and immigration, i help the situation by increasing local demand for homes and increasing local wealth. debtors prison is the final “encouragement” to keep people from walking from their homes.
should things collapse anyway, i pack up all the debtors onto the space shuttle mayflower, to have them colonize and mine the moon.
