Smack on the family unit part 2

[EletrikRide]

I'm not in agreement with you here. Put yourself in the shoes of a victim of a violent sex crime. Your statements lack empathy and compassion for situations that are sometimes beyond a woman's control. You need to put aside your hate for all women and concentrate on the real problem at hand in our society.

Our problems cannot be blamed solely on the females. You need to search for forgiveness and compassion. Right now, you are an agent of pain and vengeance. You are on the wrong side.

[EletrikRide]

Not all girls are lazy. You cannot make such broad generalizations. Some young girls are smart, motivated, and industrious. It's up to us parents to foster these characteristics.

I admire you for putting this video out there! As I see it, it's a dominoe effect. Our family unit has unravelled to the point where it's now acceptable that marriages only stay together if it's comfy and convenient. Commiting to marriage means you stay with a person even when it's hard! In fact, especially when it's hard! 'I DO' means you DO! through the good times AND the bad! That creates an example then for the next generation to follow. and on, and on. GREAT JOB!!

[EletrikRide]

It's good to see that others share this similar view. This means not all hope is lost....

[EletrikRide]

Our job as men is to recognize these characteristics and avoid those kind of women at all costs. There are still good women out there with solid values, but you must look hard and use your better judgment. Think with the upper head and you increase your chances. Not all women are as you describe..

i condone the ideal..kudos. Justin Sterling is effectively taking this on for like 30 years now. he taught women this and then they demanded he teach men. teaches that men have to learn to be a good guest in the home. we must have terms and they cannot be compromised. some women get turned on by their mans success. some despise this. i found success but man it cost like the devil and i wish i were God but i am happily changing and am inspired you would attempt to go there thanks

[EletrikRide]

You are welcome

[ckpeltomaa]

I love being a woman and I found a basically compatible husband and we keep working on ourselves and our relationship and it only gets better :)

[EletrikRide]

That is excellent! So glad you found a good partner. Keep working and keep thinking positive, you are setting a great example!

[IM2L844]

A fireside chat with the one and only...very nice! Society today is constantly bombarded with propaganda that is geared toward constantly reinforcing the notion of individual self importance. The idea that "we are gods" has become the central thesis of many popular "self help" books. Selfless altruism is becoming an increasingly rare impetus for responsible actions. After watching your latest videos, I have renewed hope that we have not passed the event horizon...the tipping point of no return.

[EletrikRide]

That's right, it's not to late. I heard a new term today - "personal autonomy". We have a long battle ahead....

[mrcarter2007]

God bless you brother.

We need more Like The Smack

[EletrikRide]

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

[delvis11]

Throughout mans history we have gone through what called the "pride cycle" over and over again. look at the stories from the Bible, Book of Morman and the Koran. Righteousness and Prosperity, Pride and Wickedness, Destruction and Suffering and Humility and Repentance. we are prideful because out our prosperity and wicked in our ways. this will lead to our destruction. cling to your family. im my opinion it will take a generation to change our ways. im from a broken family also. thank 4the video!

[EletrikRide]

Agreed. And there may be no stopping the destruction - but we can still at least try. And if some people's lives are changed as a result of the attempt even though the destruction still comes - then all is not lost. This society may yet fail, but in its downfall some people can still be reached. And this is what truly matters in my opinion. But I would like to be more optimistic and hope that there is still a chance to turn this situation as a whole around. As impossible as this may seem.

[keloecho7]

and common sense has gone out the window. Along with decent work ethics. I have a lot of hope for our country and humankind with the new prez on his way. You are exactly right it has to start at the bottom and go up. With rights come responsibility, parents need to take care of their children. If you cant do that, you shouldn't be alowed to continue having unwanted children. Great message. keep up the good work

[EletrikRide]

Thanks,and you too!

[jughedjones]

Very well spoken E. I agree with most of what you said. I'm a 63 yr old geezer, with 3 divorced daughters, and 5 confused grandkids. Trouble is, nobody listens to me anymore. I'm totally out of the loop, unless they want something fixed. I hope we haven't gone too far, and it's not already too late to fix. Doesn't matter to much for me, but I'm worried for my kids, grandkids, and all the young folks who seem to be headed for the edge of the cliff. Best regards. BoJangle.

[EletrikRide]

I'm worried for them too. I hope someone will listen to what I'm swaying. I would like to think its never to late to change. Hang in there!

[hall1833]

Maybe the model family unit is flawed. I have a happy family and it is not even close to the ideal of our society.

[EletrikRide]

Who is to say what is "ideal"??? Don't measure yourself against a preset condition. If your family is happy and strong, it is ideal by any standard in my opinion.

[bmf5150]

stick to the hho,lol...just kidding,your wright on i agree!!!

[tjgame2]

Your right, and to sum it up, easy come easy go. I hate to say but I think we where better off 100 years ago when everything was hard, the people of that time had pride and respect. You live diffently when your work today matters if your family can eat tomarrow. Thanks Smack

[EletrikRide]

There is something to be said for hard work and thinking for yourself. Technology is a hidden curse in some ways.

[tjgame2]

Technology should be used to make life better , easier does not always mean better. You see them people on Wall-e , we're get'in to that point.

[EletrikRide]

The simple life is also the easier life in a lot of ways. As a kid I lived without electricity - propane lights and a wood stove. No hot running water, outhouse etc. It really wasn't all that hard - and I could do it again if I so chose.

[tjgame2]

You have my respect Smack, sounds like camping. I could do with out tv and most other crap but I love me some internet.

[EletrikRide]

I would have to change careers if I lost the internet.

[tjgame2]

I would get back into things that are a big waste of money time and life, if you get what I'm trying to say. So you can say the internet keeps me straight.

[webovisionca]

that was a really interesting observation about the 'throw it away' society. Thanks Smack

[bluejmc]

I appreciate people being open about truth. In death when we stand before our Maker we don't have to say "I'm sorry I lived my life for my self" we can right now get on our knees and say I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life and I surrender to you. If we wait for tomorrow it may never happen. Truth is the only thing that is going to save us is "the 3rd great awakening". Pray for and become a forerunner in this and make an eternal impact. By the way Stan Meyer was a Jesus freak too.

[EletrikRide]

Yeah, I know he was. Truthfully - something about the simplicity of water in its great life giving complexity tends to draw you closer to the Creator. Only a divine intelligence could have imparted these amazing and unique properties. The way water expands when it freezes, and how its solid form floats in its liquid form. It's boiling point. LHV, LHC, evaporation. Water is one of the most interesting and amazing molecules in the universe. Studying it has brought me closer to its Designer.

[flahr1]

It's all about ME ME ME ME

[insAneTunA]

You are a good person.

[EletrikRide]

Thanks, but I do have my days, lol!
