Skip to comments.10 Misconceptions I Had About Parenting Before I Became a Parent (Happy Father's Day)
Posted on 06/16/2013 5:34:09 AM PDT by NotYourAverageDhimmi
Its easy to be arrogant about parenting before you become a parent. Here are some insane beliefs I had about parenting before I tried it.
I was so sure I would never wear one of those ridiculous baby holders that go on your chest, I bet another dad $100 that those straps would never touch my shoulders. A baby only weighs 15 pounds, Id say to the beta males strapped to the BabyBjorns. You cant carry 15 pounds?
No, you cant. Not when the 15 pounds has a wobbly head with no neck muscles and you need both arms to keep him from flopping over. Not when this 15 pounds wants you to hold him all day. After trying the Bjorn, I felt like a war vet who magically got his arms back, and I happily paid that guy the $100 I owed him.
We tried piano lessons. They were really expensive and the kids hated them and sucked at them. The same thing happened with ballet and gymnastics. Trying to force them to do things they dont like is as implausible as that gay Mormon dude who married a woman because he said his sexual preference is like smoking and youre able to quit.
Its easy to be arrogant about parenting before you become a parent.
You think you can make a kid eat something he doesnt want to eat? Go feed a cheeseburger to a salamander. He doesnt even want to crawl on it. Its too dry. The first time I forced my kid to eat something, she barfed and I havent done it since. If making your kids throw up is good parenting, Im a bad parent.
I was very attentive at first. Time-outs were doled out after every fight and if they didnt say sorry to each other, they went back in the corner. But after 347 fights you start to think, You know what? Youre on your own. Sometimes you might even catch yourself thinking, Go ahead and beat the shit out of each other for all I care. You might learn something.
Kids in public school spend something like 30 minutes a day actually learning. At private school its probably three times that. I have an hour and a half of spare time a day to spend talking about history, so why not pull the kids out of school? Well, for one, theyre already in my house way more often than I can handle. By contrast, sometimes I feel like going to work where I deal with getting sued, licking clients asses, and where firing people is some kind of party. What kind of maniac thinks 100% of their waking moments are about the right amount of time to spend with your kids? When I told a home-schooling parent that my kids go to public school, she said, The only thing theyll learn there is how to fight.
Pushing the on button on the TV is like pushing the off button on your kids. They just sit there like zombies. If you worked in a zoo and the howler monkeys had a magic button that shut them off, how could you resist pushing it? You love the monkeys and you think theyre cute, but when theyre really going bananas and you have to make an important phone call, that button becomes as irresistible as the Get me a drink button they have on airplanes.
Eating dinner with the family is a very important ritual that should not be sullied by corny logos on milk cartons and juice containers. So all beverages will be served from jugs and the butter will be unwrapped and placed in a small glass dish. The problem is that getting children to sit at a table and eat anything takes up more than all of your energy, so defining the design aesthetic for whats actually on the table is about as high on your priority list as what underwear youre going to wear.
After my first child was born, I continued to have parties at the house. My wife and I would wake up at 6AM the next day wondering what the hell we were thinking and then forget about it six months later and throw another party. One night during a break-dancing competition, a beer smashed on the kitchen floor. I thought I cleaned up all the shards, but my crawling infant daughter found one with her hand the next day. Since then, the only parties we have here involve piñatas and cake and Happy Birthday sung by very short people who dont know the words.
We stopped having people over, but whats the matter with a small joint after the kids go to bed? It might make all these terrible TV shows kind of interesting. This seems like a fairly safe idea until you try it. Youre on call 24 hours a day when you have kids, and that means its fairly negligent to get yourself into a state of mind where you were worried about satellites but then you forgot and now you keep saying, Wait, what was I talking about?
Im Canadian and I grew up with old French cartoons such as Barbapapa, so my kids should do the same. They dont need all the corporate crap and merchandising that Disney shoves down their throats. Then I took the kids to see Toy Story and my sons head blew off. Soon after, I got him Woody and the guy who was on that giant screen was now his best friend. To deny him this fun would make me feel like the guy who made Beethoven deaf.
Same goes for my daughter. I avoided all the princess stuff until she went to her friend Cassidys house and saw a huge trunk full of princess dresses. She convinced me to buy her a pile of princess costumes of her own, and I havent seen her since. I think shes in her room.
How do we explain the parenting that went on with the arrogant children running the show these days?
Well, I guess parenting is especially challenging ... if you're a Liberal.
What a potty mouth parent.
great article!!!!!
I was the same, nothing but the best for my kids and that included no mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But that was not realistic and we got Power Ranger costumes eventually. In fact, we would get the costumes for Halloween months early and they would wear them a lot.
Kids are great, what life is all about, they are a challenge too, I never spent so much time in the emergency room getting stitches and xrays...............I wouldn't trade it for anything.
What an immature clown. Poor kids. But at least their father is around, puerile as he is. A lib, of course (note drunken partying, pot-smoking, reluctance to homeschool). He certainly isn't taking them to church, either. I'm glad my father isn't like that and my adult son won't be like that either.
2. My kids took piano lessons. Minimum sentence: 2 years. Turns out, once they took the lessons for a while, they began to actually play music, and actually liked it. Older one took lessons for 6 years, younger one for 5 years.
3. If they were full before finishing what was on their plate, I never forced them. But they were obligated to eat at least a little bit of whatever was served. Today, they are ravenous omnivores who eat anything and everything that isn't nailed down. But both have a grace given to them that when they've eaten enough, they push away. They are not gluttons.
4. They are 18 and 15 years old and I'm still very attentive. I don't have to break up many arguments because they learned a long time ago that they are each others' natural best friends, and apart from their parents, their best allies, each one having the "back" of the other.
5. We homeschooled. Turned out great. Nothing I have ever done at work has been as worthwhile or as important as working with my wife to educate my sons. Enough said.
6. TV - 30 minutes a day until they were pre-teens. Didn't have to enforce the rule after that, as by then, TV bored them, they'd rather work on the computer, play outside, play the piano, or read a book. No video games either. We never restricted them from playing with this stuff when at friends or neighbors, but we never owned any ourselves. They seemed to have survived.
7. Not exactly sure of the issue. I suppose we have logos on the table. I mean, would you really take ketchup out of the bottle and put it in a small serving dish?? Yikes, I'm not THAT nuts.
8. We were never much of partiers before our kids were born; didn't take it up afterwards. We still did the things we liked before they were born once they were born - fine dining, museums, window shopping, visiting historical sites, etc. They enjoy eating good meals at good restaurants, have proper table manners, enjoy museums, tolerate trips to the mall, and they know in which half-century the Civil War was fought.
9. Never smoked pot in the first place. Saw no reason to take it up upon their entry on the scene.
10. No Disney stuff in our house. But plenty of heroes and the like. Some of my fondest memories were reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to my four year-old and then seeing him teach himself how to read because I was going too slowly through The Chronicles of Narnia. Later, his heroes were Odysseus, Xenophon and the like. In the original Greek.
My younger guy just never got much into fiction when he was little. Much rather read the Feynman Lectures. He has taken an interest, however, in writing fiction.
I'm 64 & still childfree. From time to time I need an article like this to erase any incipient regrets.
Furniture looks like new, come & go as we please, surrounded by children only in church, blessed silence at the point of a remote, money in the bank, you get the idea.
Only.....in church today the Rev will ask all fathers to please stand for a round of applause. A few uncomfortable seconds, big deal.
[flameproof suit donned]
McInnes makes appearances on Fox's "Red Eye" with Greg Gutfeld, and he pens articles that appear on the Paleoconservative/Libertarian website Taki's Magazine.
Here's an article where Libs attack him for being decideley non-Liberal..
You sound like a fantastic father. Happy Father's Day!
Thank goodness you made sure to post in this thread on fathers day. RGRDS.
So much wrong with this, the fact that he's a lawyer who nonchalantly talks about continuing to smoke dope doesn't even make my top 3 dislikes. But he's pretty humorous.
As a first-year father, let me offer some of my own:
1. Biological instinct is amazingly strong.
2. Getting three hours of sleep at once makes you feel human again.
3. Babies change more in the first few weeks than they change over the next several months. Focus your entire life at soaking up those first weeks.
4. I had no idea what to do with him. Didn't really matter.
5. The internet is wonderful for us parents with no experience.
6. If you're really lucky as I was in finding someone great, day care isn't necessarily a necessary evil. Being with other babies in someone else's home about six hours per work day is great for his personality development and makes his time with his parents more precious. I can tell on the weekends that he misses having other babies around.
7. Churching the kid immediately allows for miracles; even if he has no idea what is going on, he's in the presence of God.
8. The lack of sex isn't so bad, when you feel completely fulfilled on so many other levels.
9. Babies' overriding desire is to know how everything tastes. The more you struggle to keep it out of their mouths, the more urgent the need becomes.
10. The gross-out mechanism simply fails.
3. I mean: for those few weeks, focus your whole life on soaking them up.
1. I'll have X number of kids this far apart.
Surprises do happen.
2. I'll stay home full time.
Budget and kids' medical bills didn't allow that, had to shift to part time.
3. We won't have the over loaded schedule with tons of activities. We'll focus on family and academics.
It's hard to do when your kids want to do everything their friends are. Though my daughter is thrilled because I'm almost the only mother who comes to meetings and STAYS, though I ended up sucked in as a volunteer.
My son as a baby caught a caterpillar. I immediately started telling him, "No, put that down, don't NOT eat that!"
He smiled and deliberately put it in his mouth. I run over to take it out, and he purposefully swallowed.
And he had no correlation to the digestive upset he had a few hours later.
This guy still has a great deal of growing up to do.
Wow. This writer needs a half dozen punches in the head.
You're right. My apologies to the happy parents posting here & a happy Father's Day to those who have been so blessed.
Parenting is not for everyone, one only has to look around.
LOL, seriously?
Happy Father's Day to all Daddy and Granddaddy freepers! May your day be filled with love, joy and the blessings of your children. Hugs, Mom
For one thing, many conservative parents fit that script. Look, even Bill Buckley smoked pot: though not much, I suppose.
For another, there are lib homeschoolers, and they don't necessarily fit the template, either.
I mention that because, for the 11 years that we were homeschooling our boys, there were basically 2 homeschool support groups in town: one that was tightly identified with a Pentecostal church, and the other for "everyone else," which included quite a few libs. (We were in this second one because the first group --- Pentecostals --- considered Catholic kids to be mission bait.)
The lib homeschoolers were a diverse group, broadly respectable and likeable, and not --- as far as I could tell --- substance abusers, unless you count green smoothies.
"LOL, seriously?"
Actually, I do that here. But I'm a farmer, so there are plenty of things I do during the course of the day that are not so "delicate." The no-labels rule is the one bit of useless civilization to which I bitterly cling.
I'll drink beer from the bottle, but not at the table!
I do find it funny how I have changed personally though. Once upon a time, I couldn't wait to turn 16 and drive. Then I couldn't wait til I was 18 and could move out and make my own rules (hahaaha). Then, it was 21 so I could buy my own beer... then graduating college became the wish of the season.
Then, things started to change. I couldn't wait til I was 25 so my damned car insurance would start going down a little. Fast forward to kids... Wow, things changed a LOT. I couldn't WAIT until they were potty trained and I could be free of diapers. Then, I couldn't WAIT til we were done fooling around with those stinking bottles. Now, here I am today... 2 boys in baseball, track, football, piano, parties, overnights... I find myself thinking "I can't WAIT til these kids get their own damned drivers license".
But through it all, I learn something new everyday about humanity, my wife and my kids. In the first couple years with kids, you learn to stand back and savor where you are standing and what you are witnessing and you know the day will come all to soon when you will be asking yourself why you wished away the years. At that point, the wishing sort of becomes a personal joke more than anything else. Nothing else I do in life will be more important than mentoring my kids. It'll be the one thing I am the most proud of... at least I hope. We haven't written the chapters of the teenage years yet and I DO have 2 boys.
The explanation is that they did exactly what this "parent" is saying (he's saying don't obey most of the tried and true parental rules) yet still partying and smoking pot thrown in. I call it "free ranging" mixed with a bit of "helicoptering"
Obama was one of the first children to be raised with pity and zero expectations. This is all since the liberal mindset inception of the book by Dr. Spock telling parents not to spank and the government telling parents that any form of correcting/training their children is "abuse."
Now we have "single parent" moms alienating dad out of the picture—who used to be the voice of discipline in the home. Add in some ADHD and "anti depressant" meds and you have yourself an Adam Lanza factory.
7. NO LOGOS ON THE TABLE.....I never thought about that, but I should have enforced a "No LEGOS on the floor" rule.
When I was growing up, pre-80s, the milk jug or carton did not appear on the table. Milk was in a pitcher. Salad dressing was made from a package mix and was in a cruet. The vegetables were transferred to a serving bowl, not brought to the table in the pan.
My standards have slipped considerably for everyday meals. But kids need to see it done right every once in awhile.
Add a father whose job is to avoid taxes for GE and you have an Adam Lanza factory.
Who created this AWFUL list ????
Let me address this one by one.
I had 4 kids (2 were twins) and never once even considered using one.
All my kids take Piano lessons. I do give them a break during the summer, but the rest of the year they are mandatory.
I make my kids finish the important parts of every meal.
I am very attentive to my kids.
I seriously considered home school, but luckily I was in a position to afford a quality private school education for my kids.
I do let my kids watch TV, but try to limit (to my tolerances) how much time they spend on the computer and/or watching TV. I never said I wouldn't let them watch TV.
There are no logos on our tables and never will be.
Had already seen where "partying" would lead waaaaaay before I had children, and haven't ever missed it. I do sometimes need time alone with the wife to recharge, but it wouldn't be classified as "partying" by any means.
lol. Had no interest in wasting my money or my life doing drugs before I had kids, and certainly don't have the need too now.
I was looking forward to decorating my little girls room like a palace for a princess and to decorating my boys room with Star Wars décor (both tastefully done)
Whoever made this list is as different from me as night and day.
That writer just threw up his hands right away, firm't know how to enforce discipline. In my house we had no tv.
We are Pentecostal and have several Catholic homeschoolers in our co-op. We consider one another brothers and sisters in Christ. Although there have been some very interesting theological discussions among the children. :) Blessings!
Thank you for such a cordial response! Man, it's good to hear of good fellowship amongst Christians!
The author's a wimp.
Excellent and describes my experience as well. The author's a dufus and part of what's wrong with American fathers. He'd be better off watching Shane and a half dozen Rifleman episodes if he wants to be a real dad.
Although, I did have a baby backpack so that I could carry my kids with two free hands into the woods, pull up rocks, climb things, cross rivers and have a great time with them right from the get go.
Awesome and congrats.
I told my Thai Wife that we are going to paint a red line to keep the kid from running into the street.
Wow, that is not the Thai way, you are not a good father, it is not how we do things. What will people think?
I told her that I am the big dog, it will be my way. You will get the line painted or I will. And the kid will not cross it, I will stop them.
Last week her sister's kid ran into the street and got hit by a scooter. He is OK. But if my kid crosses that red line, they will get spanked.
True but according to the paperwork, the father had ZERO influence in the kid's life. Yet again Mommykins rules and daddy drools.

Storm tracks play a major role in regulating the precipitation and hydrological cycle in midlatitudes. The changes in the location and amplitude of the storm tracks in response to global warming will have significant impacts on the poleward transport of heat, momentum and moisture and on the hydrological cycle. Recent studies have indicated a poleward shift of the storm tracks and the midlatitude precipitation zone in the warming world that will lead to subtropical drying and higher latitude moistening. This study agrees with this key feature for not only the annual mean but also different seasons and for the zonal mean as well as horizontal structures based on the analysis of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) CM2.1 model simulations. Further analyses show that the meridional sensible and latent heat fluxes associated with the storm tracks shift poleward and intensify in both boreal summer and winter in the late twenty-first century (years 2081–2100) relative to the latter half of the twentieth century (years 1961–2000). The maximum dry Eady growth rate is examined to determine the effect of global warming on the time mean state and associated available potential energy for transient growth. The trend in maximum Eady growth rate is generally consistent with the poleward shift and intensification of the storm tracks in the middle latitudes of both hemispheres in both seasons. However, in the lower troposphere in northern winter, increased meridional eddy transfer within the storm tracks is more associated with increased eddy velocity, stronger correlation between eddy velocity and eddy moist static energy, and longer eddy length scale. The changing characteristics of baroclinic instability are, therefore, needed to explain the storm track response as climate warms. Diagnosis of the latitude-by-latitude energy budget for the current and future climate demonstrates how the coupling between radiative and surface heat fluxes and eddy heat and moisture transport influences the midlatitude storm track response to global warming. Through radiative forcing by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor, more energy is gained within the tropics and subtropics, while in the middle and high latitudes energy is reduced through increased outgoing terrestrial radiation in the Northern Hemisphere and increased ocean heat uptake in the Southern Hemisphere. This enhanced energy imbalance in the future climate requires larger atmospheric energy transports in the midlatitudes which are partially accomplished by intensified storm tracks. Finally a sequence of cause and effect for the storm track response in the warming world is proposed that combines energy budget constraints with baroclinic instability theory.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Nicholas Romero isn't known as a passing quarterback, but he can beat opposing defenses with his legs.
He proved that Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, where he ran for a team-high 67 yards and two touchdowns to help Bishop Feehan defeat Lynnfield, 21-7, in the Eastern Massachusetts Division 3A Super Bowl.
Romero, a senior, scored on runs of 10 and 36 yards.
"Nick saved his best for last," Bishop Feehan coach Curt Smith said. "He's come along because he got virtually no reps last year as a junior. He just got better and better and better each week."
Romero had completed 22 passes for 282 yards in 11 games entering Saturday's contest, and completed one of two attempts for 47 yards in the victory.
"They have a ton of speed overall," Lynnfield coach Neal Weidman said. "When they spread the ball around as much as they do and have that many good players you can't focus on one guy."
Bishop Feehan completed its season with a 10-2 record. Lynnfield finished 9-3.
Bishop Feehan led 14-7 at halftime. Junior running back Isaiah Douglass opened the scoring on a 23-yard run with 8:01 left in the first quarter, and Romero added a 10-yard touchdown run with 6:13 left in the second.
Romero's touchdown capped a 19-play, 80-yard drive that chewed up nearly a quarter (9:40).
Lynnfield responded to Bishop Feehan's second touchdown with a 14-play, 72-yard scoring drive. Kyle McGah scored the touchdown on a 2-yard run with 1:07 left in the half.
The Shamrocks regained a 14-point lead when Romero scored his second touchdown on a 36-yard bootleg on a fourth-and-1 play and Matt Allen added his third point-after kick with 4:10 left in the third.
"I strongly suggested that play," Romero said. "It was open. Then it was just get there. Don't get caught."
Lynnfield was held to 172 yards of offense (87 rushing) in the loss.
"The kids played hard and gave great effort all year," Weidman said. "It's too bad it has to end this way for them."
Lynnfield didn't lack scoring chances in the fourth quarter.
The Pioneers fumbled the ball away on a fourth-and-goal play from the 2-yard line with 5:55 remaining, and their final drive ended on Bishop Feehan's 11-yard line following an incomplete pass on fourth down.
"We take a lot of pride about keeping teams out of the end zone when they get in the red zone," Smith said. "There's no blitzes. There's no magic. The kid's just bone up."
McGah, who scored three touchdowns in a semifinal win over Amesbury, was held to 47 yards rushing on 12 attempts.
"Shut down defense near the goal line – that really helped us win the game," Romero said
Lynnfield was attempting to win the program's first state championship. … Bishop Feehan has won eight Super Bowls. The others came in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2009. The Shamrocks have an 8-2 record in their 10 Super Bowl appearances. … Feehan's Matt Allen entered the game as Bishop Feehan's leading rusher with 1,137 yards and 17 touchdowns. He gained 60 yards on 17 carries. … Bishop Feehan had 254 yards of offense. All but 47 yards came on the ground. … Lynnfield quarterback Michael Karavetsos entered the game having completed 66 passes for 856 yards. He completed 6 of 19 passes for 85 yards in the loss. … Attendance for Saturday's six games at Gillette Stadium was 14, 678.
Bishop Feehan 7 7 7 0 – 21

Posted on 06/14/2013 9:53:44 AM PDT by drewh
A group supporting an open-borders policy on immigration is trying to use the nationwide release of Man of Steel to further its cause. We Are the American Way, a project from Define American, has a new site dubbed "Superman Is an Immigrant" meant to piggyback on the cultural conversation around the superhero film.
"Superman is an American. Like Superman, we are the American way," the site's sub-head reads.
Born on Krypton, he came to this country with the promise of Hope - the symbol he bears on his chest. Many of our families also have a history of immigration. We share Supermans hope and we continue his fight for truth, justice and the American Way.
The site features images of pro-amnesty supporters holding hand drawn images of the iconic "S" emblazoned on the character's chest.
Define American founder Jose Antonio Vargas wrote a blog on the subject, signing off with a paraphrase of the character's signature line, "In truth and justice," but leaving out "The American Way.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
One self-supporting super man from Krypton that helps promote truth, justice, and the American Way
30 million dependent men women and children from third world nations that promote deception, injustice, and the worst ways of their parent nation
Great analogy... /s
I liked Speedy Gonzales...at least he stayed where he belonged.
Does Kryptonite work on Amnesty Legislation?
Big Difference: Superman has a job, doesn't need healthcare, and FIGHTS crime.
"I liked Speedy Gonzales...at least he stayed where he belonged."
And he fought cats.
I can think of a simple few more appropriate correlaries: Subsistence Section 8 Housing " 'splain it to me how I can get WICs, SNAP and TANF" Social Security (where can I get some Amigo?) School (you pay for my cheelren's schooling) You get the picture.
But do they believe in " Truth, Justice, and The American Way?
He was adopted by John/Jonathan/Eben and Mary/Martha/Sarah Kent. Best I know, they are American citizens. I am sure that he could be naturalized if it were not for the Hague convention and mandatory immunizations.
I would never, ever want to visit the loony fantasy land liberals live in.
Jeez, I don't even have to say anything except 'see the tag line'.
"Superman/Kal El" is a US Citizen by Act of Congress (can't remember the issue).
Clark Kent is technically an illegal alien, due to a fradulent adoption by the Kents.
When Pedro and his hombres leap tall buildings in a single bound and fly through the air at the speed of light, I'd be willing to make an exception.
Instead, they leap the Rio Grande in a single bound, scurry across the border at the speed of light, and get on welfare faster than a speeding bullet.
Ah, yes, the comic book defense!
Stan Lee vs. the Board of Education 1954
Until Ted Kennedy (D-Hell) pushed the changes in immigration law to get rid of usfull immigrants in favor of poor communist minded peasants, skilled immigrants had very little problem obtaining work and travel visas. Basically the superman that landed in the 30's would have little trouble gaining legal status. Todays immigration policies would have him waiting behind a horde of undeducated muslim Somali's.
When their country blows up, we'll see about letting them in. Meanwhile:
Kal-El could not return to his home planet. Furthermore, he had special skills that would be valuable to the United States. Also, he was not bringing in his entire family.
I'll make a deal with them.
All the illegal invaders that can leap tall buildings in a single bound and are actually faster than a speeding bullet win citizenship.
They get the first test with the speeding bullet at the border.
If they pass that test, they get to put on a cape and jump off the Empire State building. If they can fly they get citizenship.
Superman was adopted and raised by US citizens, nothing illegal about that.
Superman showed up in America as a baby refugee whose home planet had been destroyed. I'm quite sure we could find a way to offer someone like that citizenship, regardless of whether or noe he had any particular superpowers.
Mexico, on the other hand, isn't destroyed. It's management is terrible and it's culture encourages total lawlessness. Those are things that can be fixed. The poeple that want to come here would be better off fixing their own country rather than spreading their plague here.
Superman is not a human being, despite his outward appearance, immigration laws do not apply to him.
LOL. Ok, he has a birth certificate. By where's his I-800?
Another cartoon figure, The Frito Bandito, is closer to the truth.
Aye, aye, aye, aye. I am the Frito Banito. I love Frito's Corn Chip, I love them, I do. I love Frito's Corn Chips, I take them from you.
Actually, since Krypton isn't a Hague Convention country, he needs an I-600, not 800.
Under longstanding FR rules, Kara is automatically Not Guilty.
Also Laz hit-it worthy.
In the Byrne origin, he was born on Earth, in Kansas.
"Superman ia a Fictional Character" PING
Fictional like the so called "American DREAM" for illegal aliens
Mexicans are entitled to their own Mexican dream..
American dreams are for Americans..
Superman's parents never snuck him over the border into Amertica..
they died back in their own country/planet
they sent their refugee baby out into the unknown in the hope that he would survive on another planet...
any baby from another destroyed planet like Krypton is welcome to stay as a refugee like the baby "Supertboy" did and be adopted by Americans like the Kents...
However all illegal aliens from this planet must go back home to their own countries...
PS Nobody has suggested they go to Krypton..
I dont think the Krypton authorities would have put up with their brazen in-your-face criminal shinanigans anyway...
a riot like they did at Congressman Steve King's office and they would be in the Krypton hoosegow before they could say "steenkin rules"
do they have special skills too?
Of couse superman was in fact adopted by US citizens...
(...and god created a farmer.)
Superman jumped ahead in line and flew over the border.
Neither he nor Clark Kent had papers, they were both 'undocumented'.
Superman saved plenty of Grandma's and Babies and Clark Kent paid SS taxes.
We need to repent our zenaphobic ways now before its too late, before we chase Superman away and he moves to Hong Kong or Russia.
He also spoke English and did not habitually drive drunk and molest women.
he also had a job and paid taxes
and didnt feel entitled to welfare food stamps etc paid for by the taxpayers
Strange... I never knew that Superman spent his life on welfare, voting only Democrat...
Wow! Using a fictitious character to support their fictitious agenda! Good one!!
I would be thinking more along the lines of The Andromeda Strain.
"The people can never willfully betray their own interests: But they may possibly be betrayed by the representatives of the people; and the danger will be evidently greater where the whole legislative trust is lodged in the hands of one body of men, than where the concurrence of separate and dissimilar bodies is required in every public act."

Yesterday I opened my PC hub (after like, 5 years) to add more RAM and a new HDD. It was full of dust and balls of fluff, so I cleaned it a bit by blowing. I also removed the fan that was attached to the motherboard (I think it's there to cool the processor) and I cleaned it also by blowing and with a paintbrush, then put it back where it was (it had 4 weird plastic screws, it wasn't easy).
Then I added 2 x 2Gib of RAM (Kingston 1333MHz), and the new HDD (Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 3). I couldn't find another wire like the one my first disk had, which was thicker, but there was one that was more flat, so I plugged it and it worked fine (I also plugged the wire that I think is for the data, which looks like many little wires glued together).
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and in the new disk I've just installed Windows 7.
Between yesterday and today, two reboots ocurred while working on Ubuntu. I haven't used Windows 7 that much so I don't know if it will happen there too.
So where can I begin to debug this?

Tasting Notes for Chambertin Clos de Beze ( owc 6-pack ) - Jadot, Louis, 2005:
Deep black cherry, charred meatiness, rose and licorice give away the identity of JadotÕs 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze. Firm tannins and mouth-filling but bitter black cherry fruit, along with black licorice, wet stones, smoky black tea and Latakia tobacco feature on the palate, and there is a savage grip in the the finish. This lacks the refinement and elegance of many of the best 2005s from this great site, but bids fair to make up for this in sheer intensity and mysteriously complex depth. Here is a potentially ageless wine that doesnÕt merely typify the dark side of 2005, but is a veritable Darth Vader of the vintage. Jacques Lardiere has once again presided over a collection for the most part not intended to flatter in its youth, but rather to achieve an eventual balance of fruit acidity with (in this instance frequently quite prominent) tannin. Prolonged post-fermentative extraction promoted a formidably-structured group of wines, which Lardiere expressed no hurry about bottling. Certain of these Ñ particularly from the Cote de Beaune Ñ displayed a slightly drying finishing astringency or simply an austere lack of charm to match their concentration, traits Lardiere suggested might be traceable to drought stress in those sites. A brief July rain that reached the Cote de Nuits but not the Cote de Beaune was critical, he asserts, and all of JadotÕs vines in the northern Cote were picked before the harvest in the south commenced.

WMAS - Washing Machine Aversion Syndrome - Can you spot the signs?
WMAS - Washing Machine Aversion Syndrome is an affliction that affects many, but is rarely spoken about. In the main it seems to afflict men once they start a family. As parenthood hits, men who were previously capable of doing the washing and other household chores, become unable to function as they once did. Symptoms can escalate rapidly. Sadly, many WMAS are oblivious to the fact they have the syndrome and it is their partners who are left to pick up the pieces.
WMAS Onset:
A curious phenomenon occurs at the onset of parenthood. Those afflicted with WMAS become less and less engaged with the process of doing the washing, to the point where they no longer know how to use the washing machine. In severe cases, suffers can be spotted looking blankly at the big white machine with the window at the front and wondering what it is.
If you are concerned that your husband or partner might suffer from WMAS, here are the signs to look out for:
- Poor coordination - increasing difficulty getting dirty clothes into the washing basket
- Paralysis - sporadic, decreasing to zero, use of the washing machine
- Impaired vision - unable to see when the washing basket is brimming over
- Loss of hearing - inability to notice when the machine has finished a load that needs hanging out
- Confusion - inability to work out how to operate the washing machine, despite being adept at Playstation, iPhone, Mac...
A Case Study:
Luci, a wife and mother from Hackney, East London comments on her husband's chronic case of WMAS:
His symptoms have been severe for a while now, the condition started to take a grip once we decided I wouldn't return to work at the end of my maternity leave. I realised things were really bad a couple of weeks ago when my husband came home from a fishing trip.
A fully functioning adult would put their dirty clothes into the washing machine, perhaps even look in the washing basket to see if there was anything else to add, before turning the machine on. But my husband, a WMAS sufferer, took off his smelly jeans and top and put them on the floor by the washing machine. As a result of being afflicted by the Syndrome, he thought he was doing me a favour.
The most recent WMAS flare up came a couple of days ago. We were both in the kitchen, he was cooking breakfast - he is a modern man after all. I shoved a load of washing into the machine and turned it on. As the machine got under way, my husband looked perplexed and started wandering around the kitchen with his ear cocked. He then slightly nervously asked, "what's that noise?"
Finding A Cure
It is easy to think that you can reason with a WMAS sufferer, but this isn't always the way to instigate change and help them to throw off the shackles of the syndrome. A team of leading scientists from the University of Life are currently working on research to find a cure for WMAS.
Unbeknown to her husband, Luci has agreed for herself and her husband to take part in the study. As such, Luci is following the guidelines set out by the scientists. The aim is to use shock therapy to rid her husband of WMAS. The first step is for Luci to create a blog post, to draw her husband's attention to his condition and shock him into doing something about it.
If this doesn't work, the second step is for Luci to instigate a steaming row. Both the scientists and Luci hope that it won't come to this.
Please do share your story if you live with a WMAS sufferer. The more partners of sufferers who can come together to discuss this debilitating syndrome, the greater the likelihood of finding a cure.

Banks at North Oconee
Region 6-AA's No. 1 ranked Wolves' softball team came back from a loss Wednesday to defeat Westminster 10-1 in five innings Thursday in Atlanta.
Even in his finest moment, you're not going to get Ty McCormack to say anything overly confident about an individual accomplishment. Honestly all he cares about is how his North Hall team finishes.
JEFFERSON - Lucas Redd typifies what is right with the Jefferson offense this season. Redd, a fullback for the eighth-ranked Dragons (4-0, 3-0 Region 8-AA), has seven touchdowns this season, which is pretty accomplished for a blocking back.
At the end of Week 4 Gainesville, Hall County's best team in my opinion, seem to be improving each week.
Class AA's No. 1-ranked Buford softball team saw its nine-game win streak come to an end in a 3-1 loss to Marist on Thursday in Buford.
JEFFERSON - Jefferson Dragons wrestling coach Doug Thurmond has earned his share of accolades over his more than 20 years in the sport.
The West Hall volleyball team continued its six-match win streak, coming back from a 0-4 record in the region, defeating rival North Hall (25-23, 17-25, 25-13) and East Hall (25-12, 25-17) on Tuesday in Gainesville.
The rainy weather that has wreaked havoc in Georgia over the last week has also caused the high school softball season to come to standstill.
Winning a rivalry game isn't just about getting the win and it's not just about being the best. Oftentimes, defeating a rival comes down to one thing: bragging rights.
The stagnation in the Associated Press High School Football Poll reflects a Week 4 that featured very few upsets.
The Lakeview Academy volleyball team took a pair of hard earned wins Monday night over Johnson and Cedar Shoals.
For White County junior pitcher Stephanie Satterfield, success is old hat.
I'd always thought that a subdivided region for football in Region 7-AAA wasn't the most efficient model to follow. Using last year as an example, it's clear that the four best teams weren't sent to the state playoffs. That, and it essentially makes games in the first half of the season irrelevant.
The Habersham Central boys cross country team placed three runners in the top 10 and, with 69 points, finished first as a team to win the Eagle Run on Saturday in Commerce.

Product Description
Look Around You's humor lies not only in an absurd take on education and the impenetrable jargon of science, but also in evoking a sense of nostalgia in the viewer. In this respect the series is helped immeasurably by faultless production and attention to detail. Narrated in austere English, using precise scientific terminology, this is a world of scratched film inserts, dubious periodic tables, cheap, synthesized music, giant hairstyles, bulky, teak-finished technology, and a proliferation of DYMO labels. Each show is even prefaced by a few seconds of the "Television for Schools & Colleges" countdown clock. The tutorial format of the series is not without its problems though--it is essentially a single, plotless joke stretched to eight episodes, and there are no characters to speak of, save glimpses of the deadpan and much-maligned lab-technician (cowriter Peter Serafanowicz). Despite these shortcomings, Look Around You is still a refreshingly different comedy, which is so well put together that you can almost smell the Bunsen burners while you watch. --Paul Philpott

One thing though, your dvd player has to have the proper regional encoding or you'll have some problems watching it.
Arrived in great shape, exactly as described.
Definitely recommend.
This spoof comedy series is so firmly entrenched in its origins - a very small pocket of British television history known as Programmes for Schools, which were TV shows intended to be videotaped and shown in classrooms for educational purposes - that it might be almost impossible for it to be appreciated by anyone outside of the UK, and even for us residents, it's full genius can only be appreciated by those of us around and at school in the 1970's, or awake at night watching those hideous Open University programmes.
But luckily I was one of those people, and I I found "Look Around You" to be hysterical. The dry-as-dust delivery of the presenters and the totally bonkers ideas for educational experiments and scientific reports that populate each segment have to be seen to be believed. Each short segment passes itself off as a serious investigation into some scientific theme or other, and experiments or reports are carried out on screen to supposedly teach the viewer about various scientific facts. Of course, the facts and figures quoted or discovered during the show are all totally and hilariously fictitious, such as discussing what the highest number in the world might be, or setting a maths problem about ladies buying shoes for spiders, Sample experiments vary from the laugh-out-loud crazy to the very subtley skewed, and they include a study of ants building a miniature igloo, opening up a garden pea to extract its brain (yes it has one!), and programming a computer to compose a pop song about a mouse.
The interior studio scenes are all filmed in a clinical and stark lab setting with lots of close-ups, while the outside reports use faux grainy (or sometimes genuine recycled) 1970's stock footage.Read more ›
This isn't that show.
This is a wacky British comedy programme (See what I did there? The spelling?) in the guise of an educational scienctific series with complete dead-pan insanity as only a culture of people with bad teeth and lots of tea drinking can produce.
Buy it, watch it, repackage it and give it as a gift. You'll thank me later. Or you won't. Either way. Whatever's good for you.

Your points are redundant. You say he's doing "90km in a 65km limit zone", when he's actually doing 90km on a 65km advisory corner. There's no proof he's texting either, and more to the point you are allowed to minimally operate a phone.

What are the pros? Bees go bonkers for it
What are the cons? Gigantic
Most importantly, I love this plant. It seems to grow easily anywhere and the bees are absolutely bonkers for it. It seems like each and every little flower is occupied by a bee every second of the day.
This is not so much a dislike as it is something just unexpected ... this plant is gigantic. Vertically and horizontally. Based on the pictures I had seen of dainty little blue flowers I was expecting a dainty little plant. This is anything but dainty. It's a beast. I bought it for companion planting for strawberries and tomatoes and it very quickly overran it's companions. I would cut off the main stalk to allow sun to the other plants and, not to be dissuaded, the little side stalks on the borage, quietly waiting in the wings, would take off and grow huge. i measured once and the stalk was over 6" in diameter. One is actually holding up an entire tomato plant. I ended up having to pull some entirely and the tap root was the size of a parsnip.

What are the pros? Versatile
What are the cons? None - well, it does fall over
I first discovered borage in Germany. It grows all over, and is a key ingredient in Frankfurt's famed green sauce, along with 6 other herbs. I loved the way it looked, and I loved the way people used the flowers to decorate outdoor tables, put in drinks, salads, and soups, and I vowed to track it down.
It definitely self-sows. It brings bees. I saw my first hummingbird of the season on them this year.
The bristly leaves come when they're bigger. Even so, blended in a sour cream/yogurt sauce with other herbs, it's amazing. Just made my first batch (had to wait for other herbs to grow). Worth the effort.

What are the pros? Beautiful color-attracts bees
What are the cons? none
This does very well in South Florida in the winter with regular irrigation--I put them in with my vegetables. It's now June and they're coming back up in a partially shaded area. We'll see!
What are the pros? easy to grow, great blooms
What are the cons? prickly, larger than expected
Borage sometimes grows wild in vacant lots and parks and fields up here on the PNW coast, and only grows two feet high at most, with a few dainty blue flowers. I planted borage as a filler in between tomatoes in my garden this year.
To my surprise, my Baker Creek borage seeds it shot up four feet tall before the end of May, and developed huge clusters of flowers. The thick stalks actually provide great support for my tomato plants, so it worked out.
The flowers are stunning, bright blue and pink, and some have a mottled appearance like tie-dye.
My borage plants are very hairy and prickly, so I don't plan on eating them. I just grow them for the local pollinators. The leaves are a hit with the neighbor's chickens, as well.
It wasn't what I expected, and it may have taken over my garden, but it has been a fun plant to grow.
I will definitely save a space or two for borage next year.

What are the pros? attracts pollinators
I planted these in several locations in my garden, they all grew & had an abundant suply of pretty & so very tasty blue flowers. The bees loved them, and anything the bees love.....I love. The flowers were a fun addition to salads. Everyone was suprised & impressed.

i'm slowly making my way over to Flash Builder from doing all of my programming in Flash Professional.
it's not an easy transition since things i've taken for granted in Flash Professional are completely different in Flash Builder.
first, FB4 will always automatically convert my function (even pasted functions) to look like this:
private var myFunction(...parameters):void
//my code
but i'd like it to automatically write it like this:
private var myFunction(...parameters):void
//my code
finally, the other thing that i'm really having a hard time with is the code hinting. in Flash Builder i have to press enter/return on the keyboard to accept the code hint, while in Flash Professional i press tab to accept.
is it possible to change these settings in Flash Builder to match those i'm use to in Flash Professional?

Sri Lanka main opposition leader to form 161 battalions to oust the government
Fri, Nov 30, 2012, 02:00 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Nov 30, Colombo: Leader of Sri Lanka's main opposition United National Party (UNP), Ranil Wickremasinghe says the party would form 161 battalions during its annual convention on December 1st.
Addressing party members at a meeting organized by Provincial Councilors, M.S. M. Fairoos and Mujibhur Rahuman, the UNP Leader has said that the battalions would be formed in order to work towards ousting the Rajapaksa regime.
He has noted that the statement by the UNP at the convention over the radical changes to be made with regard to bringing back the party to power will highlight the plans to form a just and equitable society entrenched with democratic rights. The party would put both these concepts for approval at the convention tomorrow.
"From that point onwards, we are going to start our march towards victory. The government may try to undermine our victorious march. There might be Trojan horses within our party ranks to undermine us. Let us move forward as one single force. We will set in place our youth, women and UNP branch offices to bolster our march forward," Wickremasinghe has vowed.
"We must boot out the corrupt Rajapaksa regime and set up our own government in place soon," he has urged the members.
He also added that the people are burdened with the escalating cost of living.
"The UNP thought that the government would grant people some relief through the budget. But the people have been given Lamborghinis instead of bringing down the cost of living. Now we have Lamborghini racing cars, Supreme Sat satellites which the poor ordinary people never asked for," he has said.
According to Wickremasinghe, there is no option other than having a UNP government and it is only the UNP that can lock horns with this corrupt government.
