About Me
"In my opinion"
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs;
"We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem;
"...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression;
"Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

Welcome
Although I'm pretty tired of the "Race is King" mantra usually put forward by past and current polemics, race-relations (and the improvement of such) is always a good topic of civilized conversation. I've been called "Uncle-Tom" more times than I've been called "N-----". When I volunteer at the local Habitat for Humanity, I'm often the only black working who's not trying to get a house. When I volunteer at the local shelter, I'm usually the only black on the giving end. Something is wrong or deficient with Black-culture (as it is practiced today). Don't say that I don't know the ghetto, I'm originally from the ghetto. My ghetto-pass wasn't pulled, like my middle school I.D., it expired. I graduated. Now, I say middle school because too many blacks haven't graduated from high school. (Detroit, anybody ?) Please feel free to bring up any topic but please refrain from misusing epithets and downgrading others. Thank you, UBJ

A belt controls a lot of things in this world and if we were in Singapore a public caning will make foreigners embarrassed.
It's all part of the hippie children are like little adults angle that has so many people not saying NO with something to back it up besides time out.
its also good at controlling budgets and plumbers crack.
@ FreeMan - Many parents hated the whoopins they received as kids and vowed to not do the same.
But these parents failed to see the value of the belt.
To whip or not to whip - that is the question.
I still get my young cousins early in life (I stop when they turn thirteen).
I tell them to go sit in another room until I calm down.
When one asked why I did this, "So I don't kill your little bad ass.", I said.
I explained that I have to make sure that they are being punished for what they did and not that I'm just beating the ish out of them because I'm angry.
I have to be in control, not just reactionary.
The time also gives them a chance to sweat it out a bit.
To this day, the older kids understand that they deserved those whoopins and they now laugh about it.
They also understand that violence is not the first reaction but that it is sometimes needed to make corrections.
@ brohammas - Yeah, but I didn't want to have a picture of a plumbers crack.
@UBJ - To try to make a feeble mind understand the ramifications of their acts is insane. Now while I may agree 13 is a decent cut off I think most people are getting whipped because of a wrong committed.
Although we all know people who seem to get beatings from a angry parent it is the exception not the rule. Like most acts once we see one guy do it we think we need to outlaw it instead of counseling that one guy.
If a child is to be guided and raised that means they don't know at all. Timeout may work for some smart child but I bet you my last dollar as soon as time out is over they weren't mulling over why they were mulling over how long do I have to sit here.
Yeah... a Time-Out would have just given me more time to figure out how NOT to get caught the next time.
My step-dad whooped us if the Sun came up too early - we just knew we'd get whooped over anything. After a while we'd just walk in and take that ish like Denzel in 'Glory'.
But I know a lot (A LOT) of parents who start beating even without hearing what happened from the kid.
They just assume that the kid is wrong but never think that he may have made the best choice from many bad ones.
lol @ not wanting a pic of plumbers crack - thank YOU from me too!
