Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
You cannot raise your children as your parents raised you, because your parents raised you in a world that no longer exists.
Saw that on a meme post. My generation and those previous generations are the last ones that grew up in a world without cell phones, internet, social media and everything bad that comes with that. We may be in a different era but we can still teach children manners, how to be respectful of others and discipline. You can raise your children with love even if you weren’t raised with love. Teach them how to do things! If you don’t know how to cook, garden, work with tools, etc learn and teach them. Learning life skills is so important.
I think this is part of the Communist propaganda where they want children to belong to the State and not to the parents.
I agree with your view on this. Each parent should raise their kids to the best of their abilities, as honestly as they can to their own belief system. The focus should be on showing them love and teaching them fundamental skills.
Thats how you will have a resilient system without a single point of failure.
