I was yanking your chain don’t read much into it. But what I was implying is yeah we already have threads for most topics that LG feels are important enough to have his individual deep thoughts by Jack Handie broken out on is all.

Fix the insanity. Well actually lets call it what it is, a lack of discipline and maturity. The shooter is probably on ADD drugs or other anti-depressants.

Anyone who believes differently from him lol

Before we blame the medication, can we talk about the possibility of parents not knowing their child well enough to catch changes in behavior or activity patterns? So many parents I've worked with have been strangers to their children. It's scary.

Absolutely, it usually starts with parents that medicate instead of discipline their kid.

I sat through an IEP meeting once with a kid who was either bouncing off the walls or sleeping through class. The parents were at their wits' end and wanted us to figure out the issue before they went to a psychiatrist. I asked the parents what the kid had for breakfast; cold pizza, a candy bar, and a coke. Almost daily. Of course the kid was a mess, they were loaded with cheap carbs and sugar crashing! I asked if they would consider protein shakes or bars instead and they balked. Wouldn't even think of trying that, but wanted to chem up their kid.

Kid ultimately ended up in alternative school when the meds made things worse.

My 4 year old granddaughter bounces around like a pinball at home and of course he mother feeds her doughnuts or poptarts for breakfast almost every morning. She stays with us she eats eggs and bacon/sausage/ham and it's night and day in her behavior.

Is your first premise supported by the data? Are they becoming more regular and what are the metrics and reference time period.

Discipline is lost on many.

That's nothing new. Mom and dad thought I was the neighbors kid until asked to borrow the car one day. They looked puzzled and told me I should ask my parents for theirs.

No doubt. There is an epidemic of lack of discipline and maturity.
I prefer to have the undisciplined and immature as unarmed as possible.
