Desertguy49: That's what I was wondering, sure glad I raised my boy to be a real man.
Desert I am neutral on this thread , but I find what you said here to be so totally wrong. I think the chap is a real man. Not so long ago you did a post that you were leaving the site , was that sooooooo manly ?
A few days later you were here again. Sorry but to me , one should never question a mans manhood or what is deemed by you or society to be "manly"

Busyguy22: TRUST me when I say, I don't need to protect her... We've been through allot within both of our lives and we know at an adult level what is right and what is wrong and how to protect ourselves.
Life is even more judgemental and cruel as the decades seem to pass us by... more and more ignorance and hatred is spread as those who try so desprately to make an honest life are shot down due to people who "Claim" to be smarter, faster, stronger, and no doubt a greater person then those around them....
I don't see the logic within this, I don't see why people are jelous and envy others, I don't understand why we continue to hurt one another for pointless Measures in which to gain success..
Hurting someone doesn't get you anywhere nor does it provide someting true and worth living up to...
So how many decades have passed you by, seeing as your profile says that you're 21?
I'm going to go off topic because it was brought up,
85% of all preasure related children do two things to relieve their stress and to numb the feeling of failure.
Suicide: it's commited because they feel like they're not standing up to their parents or mentors requirements... It's horrible and not really the path in which a child should be thinking of so early on, but it does happen... Don't preasure your children into being anyone or anything other than what they can be.. I understand giving a little push but if you shove you might just shove your kids to commit suicide...
Drugs: it's common for children these days to get into drugs to numb or even block out the fear in which they feel from their parents.. Stress and depression only worsen when promted to become something more of a "Man" and to be "the best of the best"
To be honest.. this creates a even deeper cycle of depression and deaths amongst children between the ages of 14 to 21.
So "Being a Man" is a crock of BS tought within the old history books... we have no need for the saying for Women have the rights to do and serve along side men.

See you were brought up to be judgemental and to question everyone's views along side your own, but what most don't understand is it's a choice to live by those lessions taught and learned from their parents or adult figures.
you can choose not to mock me, but given how you were raised and your own view ponts you choose to mock me without giving any thought.
This is what I meant with that post... you don't notice; no you don't care to notice you're doing something your parents would possibly do. Thus with that being said your own view point becomes someone elses.
I choose to think deeply and to hold my breath before I speak out the words in which I say. I'd like to believe that I don't go about things in someone elses view other than my own, sometimes I do but most of the time I like my own views...
I hope this makes sense, it can be confusing at times.

Who are you to say the reasons for our children's potential despair???
Each person who feel suicidal/attempt suicide/achieves suicide has their own unique reasons.
Desertguy49: OK, Mr worldly fountain of knowledge, my son turned out just fine and isn't living at home with mom or dad as you say you are , he is responsible, working on his bachelors degree, works as a bouncer in a resort bar to supplement his schooling, and will be entering the military when he accomplishes his degree. Also I don't need a wet behind the ears kid to tell me what life is all about, go out there and experience it yourself first and then, maybe then we'll talk ...

You know, I gave you credit! I also detest the people on here who pick on others here, but I REALLY THINK THAT YOU ARE INCORRECT AND ILLINFORMED in your assumptions! 30 years ago, child depression was unknown of, we all grew up knowing right from wrong, not thinking, oh THE world is against me....................you know what? I'm gonna wash my hands!!!

Who am I? you say... I'm a young adult living within this day and age where more and more people commit suicides or overdose on drugs due to unhealthy mental or physical situations.
you have the right to question me; I'll admit that.
But you do not think like the new generation does, I however was brought up within it and I know how the majority of the young people feel; although I express myself differently.
Unique reasons being the obvious two in which I just stated and there are many others in which I could list. I just consider the saying "Be a man" illfelt and totally out of line, because A Woman is just as capable as doing a "Man's Job" it's simple as that...
Typical stereo-types pushed onto people are rather dull and heart breaking. Why do the jocks always hangout with other jocks, and the Smart people hang out with the smart people?
it's not about a Race thing anymore but more of a simple common view of things... a Jock can't hangout with a Smart person he'll seem less like a man and more like a sponge... that's similar to saying a white guy won't sit next to a black woman due to her skin...
I just frown upon people who view the world like this... More or less laugh as them for how blind they are to the current decade in which they live in.
Desertguy49: I don't spar with women, do you know why? because it's exactly what you want. Good luck with that! go find some other fool to argue with...
