How would feel about this: Tracking chips in kids' school clothing so that school officials can know their whereabouts during the school day? Ten students in a secondary school in the United Kingdom are being tracked through RFID implants in their school uniforms in a pilot program. Information Week reports that the kids attend Hungerhill School for ages 11-16 in Edenthorpe, England. Add the RFID chips to increased video surveillance and fingerprinting of kids, and this is a heavily tracked generation—for safety's sake.That extra peace of mind for adults comes with a heavy loss of privacy for kids. Do you agree with David Clouter, a parent and founder of the children's advocacy group Leave Them Kids Alone, who says taking all these precautions has the effect of treating kids like criminals? Or do you agree with the parents who have OKed the pilot program who do not find it egregiously intrusive
Your speech belies a bitterness against Christians. Why do you selectively choose to harrass them. A little soul searching seems in order. Your question also sounds a lot like when Satan attempted to tempt Jesus taking him to the top of the temple and telling him to jump off since God would protect him. Here's the text to be exact: Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 If you are the Son of God, he said, throw yourself down. For it is written:`He will command his angels concerning you,and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' MT 4:7 Jesus answered him, It is also written: `Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' MT 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 All this I will give you, he said, if you will bow down and worship me.MT 4:10 Jesus said to him, Away from me, Satan! For it is written: `Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' MT 4:11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.MT 4:12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: MT 4:15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,the way to the sea, along the Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles MT 4:16 the people living in darknesshave seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of deatha light has dawned.MT 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near. This may be appropriate for you.
I think Ben Franklin would have known there are appropriate places for brandishing firearms and inappropriate places and that a peaceful citizen would not bring one to a political rally unless he had simply stopped on his way home from hunting food for his family. If Ben were alive today to see the murder and mayhem that is a result of allowing anyone and everyone to own a gun he would certainly think differently about our 2nd amendment.
Yes. What you're describing is severe child abuse and you don't have to put up with it. She's supposed to give you love, care, support, encouragement, ect. There's no excuse for what she's doing. She needs to be hot lined for child abuse.Either Google the number for the area where you live or find it in the front of a phone book where the emergency numbers are listed. That will get a social worker involved who will check in on both of you periodically. S/he may send your mother to parenting classes or something similar. You should also get your school counselor or school nurse involved. To make sure they do something about it (which is their job,) my humble advice is to make the call yourself and THEN tell one or the other of them what's going on and that you need their support. Having a mental illness-which are biological brain disorders, by the way-is NOT be an excuse for a week of severe, non-stop, premeditated child abuse. I know people with bipolar AND with schizophrenia who wouldn't dream of doing that to a child. Sometimes people with those illnesses have a little more trouble controlling their emotions-especially if they're not on medication-but being intentionally cruel to their own child for a week?! Uh-uh. I don't THINK so, unless they've got something else going on like a brain that's fried from years of chemical abuse or a personality disorder. I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. Don't try to handle it alone. Get some more people involved and things will get better. :) Be safe.
