re: So if I had a child during these times......What should I say?

Do what I do for my children, pray.

I'm doing with my youngest (14) the same thing I did with my oldest when she was 14. I am having her read The Terrible Truth About Liberals, by Neal Boortz. It's a very simple read, and is a good starter for understanding the liberal mindset.

I haven't decided on the two or thre books she will read after that.

But ultimately it will all lead to reading Atlas Shrugged in a couple years.

In the meantime, I try simplifying thu ha somshe can u deestand the things she sees on tv.

When the child is old enough to understand rudiments speech introduce the child to Jesus Christ, you can’t do better than that.

Not bad, but again, my first point matters regardless of JC.

My kid can rock whatever Religion as long she/he does #1 IMO

In addition to all the standard passing down of values, when they're old enough to understand, you give them the points you find pertinent (I don't like all of them) from John Derbyshire's "The Talk". Especially if you live in a metro area. Especially during times like these.

This is some sickeningly racist shite. You should be ashamed for posting it; I feel ashamed for reading it.

As for the topic at hand, I have a toddler and have thought long and hard about how to explain the world in a way to keep her safe and successful. I'm still learning myself, but there's a few hard and fast lessons that speak for themselves.

1. There is kinship in misery, but surrounding yourself with broken souls doesn't better your life or spirit in any way. Surround yourself with people who are successful, outgoing, and personable.

2. Have a clear vision for your life, at least parts of it, and never compromise on it. Always be striving for the things that will make you happy, financially stable, and emotionally fulfilled.

3. Humans crave responsibility. Maintaining a romantic relationship, raising children, running a household - many people avoid these things not because they don't want them, but because they fear their own inability to perform them acceptably.

4. Show kindness to others, seek out kindness for yourself.

5. In the workplace, always look out for yourself. Trust no one. Act as if you trust everyone. Never let your boss pressure you into a decision without sleeping on it.

6. Never hesitate to tell your friends and family how much they mean to you.

Twitter is the worst. People think it’s some kind of majority...

Twitter is like 90% people shitposting from the toilet

I have an 18 yo son about to head off to college. I asked him what he thought of this whole thing. His answer? I'm tired of hearing about it and everything woth it.

My three rules.

1) Don't commit crime.
2) Don't do drugs.
3) If you knock someone up/get knocked up, raise the child.

That's it. If my kids follow those three rules, I'll be proud of them no matter how badly they frick everything else up in life.

As I said, I don’t care for some it. Some of it can keep you safe, though. As someone who’s been in a car that had bottles and bricks thrown at it because we were the wrong color, I find those parts useful.

If you find reality racist there’s not a thing I can do about it, but I can assure you I don’t feel shame for recognizing reality.
