This Happened Just Happened 1-1/2 hours ago only two houses down from my home based business here at 2439 E Catalina Ave Mesa AZ 85204. This Economy Has Been Troubling For These Neighbors Of Mine And For Myself. We Spoke About That Together At are Annual Neighborhood Block Party A Few Months Ago. I Was Hoping Dad Would Make It But Now The News Says He Did Not, And His Son Shot Himself Too And Is Now Hospitalized. When The Police Located Him Still Holding The Gun While Riding His Bicycle Away From The Scene He Shot Himself, I'm Praying At Least He Survives. This Is Truly Sad, Mom Is Grieving Her Husbands Death, And The Possibility That Her Son May Die. I Am Praying For Them All. This Economy Really Sucks. Its Scary To Think This Was On My Block 2 Houses Down From My House... Great, Now As Cops Are Still Outside And I'm Watching The 3 TV News In AZ, Now Another Teen Shooting Between A 16 Year Old Boy And 17 Year Old Boy Said To Be Gang Members Near Alma School & Main Just Happened As We Speak And As police Are Still Outside From The Shooting That Happened On My Street Just A Bit Ago... ---Dang--- What The Heck Is Wrong With Our Kids Today??????????????????????????????????????????

Q:  What The Heck Is Wrong With Our Kids Today??????????????????????????????????????????

A:   Humans have no natural predators

Animals live under the law of natural selection.  Only the strongest and fittest reproduce; therefore only the best genes and bloodlines continue on.

Humans have no 'natural selection' to thin the herd.  Anyone can reproduce, no matter how bad the genetic make up is. 

Just exactly did everyone expect to happen in this country?  We take God out of our schools, off our money, and lawyers have made it impossible to pray in school, or in public.  Unless your Muslim. 

There is going to be alot more of this, as we have turned our backs on God.  And its just my opinion that maybe he has decided to return the favor.

Whats wrong with kids nowadays is the parents stopped whipping their asses. I got my ass whipped when I was growing up and I am sure alot of you guys did too.

Thats the problem, not enough concicuences for are kids and definetly no repcusions for their actions. All they have to do is cry wolf and its the parents that are wrong. So little Timmy can break a neibhors window cause he thinks its funny and dad goes to scold him then gets arrested because the law and courts know whats better for our children because they know little Timmy better then we do. Little Timmy is an angel. Also we as parents are responsible for the actions of our little ones and its are responsiblity to raise them but when we do its not right in the eyes of the law. I say bring back the paddles in school and rules to the nuckles its what are countries four fathers were raise on and look how they turned out. I told my own to think about  how what you do will effect others. They break that window, we'll who has to pay for it? Me. And I'm not going to be happy. Good luck parents.

Yeah Maybe god being out of the schools and off the money has a lot to do with the way kids are now. I'm a white male who is the father of a son from a black female who lost custody because of drugs many years ago. My New wife and i believe in spanking my son whom i have full custody of. Last January my sons mom made a bull crap allegation of child abuse against my beautiful harmless Asian wife Gisele to police because my son had a slight bruise on his cheek when i allowed her extra time to see her son for a birthday party. She lied and now my wife is still tied up in court over that crap 9 months later now. Not to mention i and her took 64 hours of parenting classes on a volunteer basis i might add where they tried to brain wash us to let our children raise us. At parenting class the motto is, since we weren't born parents and don't know how to raise children we must rely on our children to raise us to provide what they are needing. And they stress that hitting or even playing rough with a child where that child has even the smallest bruise mark is illegal, even if you were innocently playing with your child, as was what happened between my wife and my son-her step son who she loves very much. At 29 years old my eyes are wide open, the world has changed, its never going to be the same, in fact the children are the deciders of the future and the children are spoiled rotten individuals who don't know whats best. And now apparently its not even legal to guide our children as we were guided.
