Are we raising a generation of kids who have bonded to their phones instead of their parents?

I think it is ridiculous that we criticize kids on how they use the phones when we gave them to them without instructions... because there weren't any instructions. The kids born after 1996...post brick phones grow up in an age where they have a full-blown computer in their pockets at all times. They can live life vicariously through it so they don't feel compelled to leave home as early.

What we need to do is stop expecting them to behave as we did when the phone was plugged in the wall and everyone had to share it.

I honestly don't think they are babies or going through weird bonding... socialization... The world is different because of computers and computerized phones.

They are using the tools the grandparents handed them to get even with their parents.

The orange dik-tater in chief.

Why are republicl0wns such cowards?

Republicl0wns are cowards? It must be a slow news day.

He's obviously preparing his dementia defense.

Wow the Clinton envy is palpable in this convo... mercy meeeeee.

Erm...... yah knowwwwww... she lost the election... we've moved on.

Turns out we didn't need her to keep Obamacare in place. It was so well thought out.

Anywayyyyy as everyone else knows she's retired hanging with the grandbabies writing books... you Hillaryhatingcl0wns really need to move on.
Maybe use your OBAMACARE to get some treatment for your sorry mental state. Who knows? Maybe cure for pig brains...

They need a rule stating that they must attend every second of this or they won't have a vote.

Stupid pigs.

Obamacare lives... suck it.

Ya know if that were me and I was trying to borrow money after a colossal screw-up... banks would consider my credit bad and not lend me the money.

Let one of their more careful competitors buy them out and take the enginers that designed that plane and publically execute them If the CEO's @$$e$ were on the line perhaps they would be more careful.

There needs to be a serious punishment for excessive greed.

I know about a dozen 20-30 somethings who suffered minor injuries while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan... minor injuries that have left them with ringing in their ears lasting years. One of the problems of "non-serious injuries" of that nature is they drive people crazy... literally. What a coinkydink that veterans of those conflicts are killing thems3lves in record numbers.

Feckless pigbrains.

He wants to re-form it into military spending. Heaven knows we haven't pi$$ed away enough of our treasury dropping thousands of bombs a $60K a pop.

Teachers' salary is gone in a second... do that a thousand times in a day...which they have done...only to lose and be expell3d from the country whose government we've re-formed to suit some obscure need.
Republicl0wn pig brains.

leaving office in disgrace

wee wee wee all the way home

OH and before you clowns jump on that... ALASKA is a red state that every year gives away money for living there. Just fill out the paperwork every year and cha-ching... red state money for nothing.

It is also dogging the younger candidates. The geezers know the game... and they exploit it. We need younger blood, I think who we are going for in leadership is all wrong... a bunch of old farts with no real future in time insisting on leading the country. Its a crime. It's strangling the nation. I

know my fellow boomers hate when I say this but damn it we had peers running the nation for us... which is as it should be. We had Clinton and Obama... its time for us to get over it...

Its time for us to let go. Cosmetics hide the old and medicines postpone the feeling ... for a while... they don't make it go away.

I'm liking Yang better and better... Alaska has a permanent fund... the whole nation should have one. It would go a long way in saving local economies.

Corky, you really need to try and move on.

Oh please Fishpoo... Hillary was just something for Trumplethinskin to get out of the way. She has gone on with her life and so have we.

You overrate her impact on why you chose the orange bloat to represent you.

Republicl0wns are still mad that " Obama care" is still a law in the land ... and was so well inserted into the system that a decade of republiclownery amounts to feeble attempts and can't seem to undo it... because that is really what is behind the current spate of republiclowning and you know it you pathetic dumba$$. The ACA is at the core of your mad. That Kenyan outdid you... solidly kicked your @$$.

We know how weak you really are. You've fallen and you can't get up. Hillary is doing book tours and grandparenting.

Let me say this Fishpoo... on behalf of me and all my brother and sister Hillary supporters, you can kiss our collective @$$eS. Obamacare lives onon....bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!! ... its called bigger (ahem) fish to fry... and that is what has you so burnt...(snicker)

somebody stop me I've got a million of them... they write themselves.

My great-great-grandfather did that when he was finished here. Blah blah blah...pause...*poof*... he was gone.

He was a 19th century political activist.

Gonna be interesting to see how the bankruptcy courts handle this failed business venture of his.

Mehhhh... I am thinking they will handle it the same way they handled it when Bushhole2 bankrupted the country... set up the bailout and blame the next democrat president that extracts from the ditch. Feckless ingratitude is the hallmark of republiclownery.

Religion consists of a little story and a lot of show biz. the more talented the actor the higher his pay scale. Look at every "mega" church and you will see high theater fueled on enough narcissism to shame both Bollywood and Hollywood combined.. The ol "look at me I'm talking for god" performance... the place people get their weekly catharsis and feel good about themselves. They sell themselves out to these whores who live the life because they believe they can't talk to god or a too intellectually laze to talk to god themselves.

Its a greqt place for frustrated actors who need a stage where people are forced by custom to be polite even when you stink because it's written in the rules.
It's showbiz.

Clowns like theater... they think it's real... its instructional to them... Jayzus is there to teach them how to fall in line.

Dealing with reality is a serious issue with clowns... especially the white male variety... mostly because they failed to adjust to the changing world when the shine wore off their specialness and are now they wearing out the patience of those who outnumber them 8 to 1. Now they are suicidal junkies armed to the man ----- with guns to use on themselves in record numbers.

oink oink weeweewee alllll the way home to the sty in the sky

RIP

Yeah well blah blah blah republicl0wns... no matter what you how you try to rewrite this... Trumpleskin is leaving office in disgrace.

and once again you get to take credit for screwing up the country just like you did with Bush and Nixon.

He had colon cancer several years go... my guess it was something to do with that. He was a weird savant with bible verses. I learned all about premillennial dispensationalism from Jack and Rexella.

Let your actions be your sermon ... not your words.

(exit stage left) and curtain.

I was emancipated at 16 which although wasn't super common in the 60's it was not at all rare... where I came from everyone knew one. In my case... I was the one. it was an interesting place to be for a few years... my friends both envied my freedom while sort of feeling sorry for me because of my freedom.

It kept me out of prison though. I learned young if you go to jail guess where you are because no one is gonna bail you out. Ergo...I behaved.

It depends on which part of me you are talking to... my mood... the day of the week... if I feel like it or not.

I disagree the military is "stealing" the people that work in the MIC are actually producing something. Its the entitlements that are killing the middle class taxpayer. Just look at the budget.

Riiiiiiiight... drop one use bombs that cost $60K a piece to produce a thousand times a year year and year leaving large holes in the ground and delivers ZERO net results and you think "at least you have something" . That mentality demonstrates just how stupid you are. We lose war after war using those "somethings" to garner NOTHING. We lose war after war on "somethings" that are really nothing substantive... and you think entitlement spending is the problem?

SKRU-U and KMA you feckless POS... the military couldn't protect us against half a dozen box cutters. You overrate our superiority and what constitut5es "something".

I tend to agree with Trumplethinskin on this. I mean look at our retired military represented here in this forum. Most of them are dopes and babies that never won a war and yet still get paid for not delivering. We (they) talk all big about being powerful and nations all over the place have called our bluff starting with Korea 70 years ago. Everyone that stands up to us wins expelling us from their country.

The military has been allowed to run on delusions and commercialism while they steal money from the middle class wreaking destruction turning kids into orphans women into widows and girls into prostitutes... just the way clowns like things over there... then they can look down on them like they are animals.

Everyone needs to stop lying about this about the influence of our military might...especially since they are being sold out to big oil and big pharma (opium).

Republicl0wns are just the most obvious with their delusions about our military prowess.

If they were really smart they would have stopped relying on us when we attacked Grenada for daring to hire Cubans to build an airstrip because Reagan needed a cover-up for his responsibility in the death of 240 Marines.

Republicl0wns are pigs.

you disgust me with your stupid.

Another sad day for Democrats.

Please illuminate us on how this partial trade treaty is SOOOOOOOOO much better than the last one.

guess what you can't... because it isn't.

China buys time with this... kicking Trumplethinskin's fat orange can down the road.
