I haven't yet brought myself to look at this 2 HOUR long video!

Why would you make such a long video?!

[jaminunit]

00:59:00 reminds me of the film the Manchurian candidate with Denzel washington,

[meftech]

Could someone tell me the name of the theme song used on the Peter Mac show? Thanks.

[ClumsyRoot]

I'm pretty sure the song played during the opening is "Limelight" by Rush.

[Darkmatter2]

Rush - Limelight

[Deathinmusic]

Good talk, I enjoyed it.

[enotdetcelfer]

that was interesting what Larken said about the weird feeling of not having a master anymore. For me it was the opposite. I was always fighting authority and rejecting the rule following do as you're told expectation that when I got to define my own life, there was still a vaccum. I am still in the process of allowing myself to succeed. There's a lot of things I think I should do that I don't because I always resisted being told to do them. Weird...

The family is the most important impediment to the total state. It is government policy that has played the major role in family breakdown over the past several decades and given the state further excuse to intervene in it. Totalitarianists of all stripes throughout history have understood that to increase their power they most circumvent the traditional home to sway the loyalty of children from their parents to that if the state. It is ridiculous to say statism has its origins in the family.

[ysgeye]

On the contrary, it is not ridiculous, but rather, natural.  The family is really the primary "state" (dad is the king, mom is the queen, the laws are the parents' rules and the punishment/enforcement is threat of physical injury or rewards) Totalitarians of all stripes merely try to get the citizens of those "mini states" to transfer their loyalty to the bigger state, probably with promises of more benefits and/or threat of physical injury.

See? It's the same thing.

stef, you bypassed the question on discipline. what is the appropriate response for a child who has done wrong?

as a father of 3 kids, I resort to discipline when dealing with concepts that are too abstract for the child to understand. lying for example, requires discipline, artificial consequences, to help the child understand in real terms the detriment to their character that has occurred. if they touch the hot iron, i don't have to discipline, the consequences are obvious.

i agree with the parenting thing. school is the same way.alot of rules with no explaniation. the only explaination is "do it or else we will ruin ur day." its bullshit and it does make bad morals. this is why i love my parents so much.when they made a rule they sat me down and EXPLAINED WHY THE RULE EXISTED i.unlike other kids, really apreaciate that they would respect me enough to explain their actions. it tought me to think.

[avoluntaryist]

greenghoast2008: I had a similar childhood but with added emphasis on self responsibility, e.g., I was told I had to examine the question of god's existence without knowing what my parents thought and come to my own conclusion. I was upset, angry, and scared. The process liberated me. At 7 I became an atheist and freethinker. At 12 I became an anarchist.

[greenghost2008]

sweet.
