Hey, I am very proud of my boys because we gave them guidance and both are in higher education for it.

It takes the parents to lead the way and help them stay on the tracks.

One son is working on his PhD and the other working to be a PT and is a physicals trainer. If more people would take an interest in their kids and work with them the world would be a better place.


Sorry for the rant.

AMEN!


I will let you apologize for the Buffalo Bills. But for this? No way man!!!

They are misguided have no parental households, too many born with single parents, have a dysfunctional educational system and spent too much time on the computer and video games that desensitize them. Other than that they are fine.

I think the part about single parents in a very good point. Not only that but most single parents are mothers. Now that's not to say that mothers don't make good parents, but I think having the father is very important. I know when I was growing up, I didn't fear my mom at all, but when I was little, when my dad got angry at me it was pretty scary. And don't get me wrong, he was never abusive, he only got angry when I did something to deserve it. And honest to God that was enough to keep me from doing stuff that would get me in trouble, most of the time anyway. But if my dad hadn't been there when I was growing up, there's no way I would have grown up as responsible and respectful as I did. And I think that's something that's missing for a lot of children growing up now. It's not true for everyone, but the intimidation factor that a father can impose is actually a good thing for most children, IMO and when it's missing it leaves a pretty big hole in a child's development.

That kid is missing more than a father. I don't think his balls ever dropped.

That's how Elton John was as a kid, and he turned out alright.

They do share a resemblance.

I ended it shortly after that. I'm assuming his fairy of a father.

That video was disturbing on so many levels.

What's wrong with the kids? WTF is wrong with this kid's parents? So many things wrong with this I don't even know where to begin?

Why don't you just do what that kid does and start at the end.

The muffin top, the mickey mouse pajamas, the banana...an amazing tri-fecta.

Lets not forget the fact that it is what appears to be a male of its species singing an obviously rehearsed Lady Gaga song and is quite serious about it. Then lets not overlook the fact that his father (I'm assuming or possibly step) is lurking in the background in a T-shirt and briefs. But worse than any of all that is the fact that this family clearly has no shame for any of these things and put it on youtube. Can you imagine what's going to happen at this kid's wedding 20ish years from now? That is of course assuming he is legally allowed to get married wherever he lives at that time.

I am not sure there is anything wrong with the kid. How old is he? Six, seven? I am sure I did many things that age that would really be embarrassing now, not that I remember anything in particular. Or do I? It was the age of disco when I was his age.

Now I do find fault with his parents for filming that and putting it on Youtube. That's some good parenting.

Exactly! Some of us are lucky that Youtube wasn't an option back when we were kids. I'd like to think tht my family would know better.

If that was your son, you know that on the outside you would act like eveything is ok, but on the inside he would be dead to you.
