    I am your friend and thus you may treat me as a child. When may I have my inheritance?

      Perhaps. But if he gave them motivation to do well and to live independently as opposed to the general charity of parents, maybe he has a point to a point.

                I think a lot of what that guy with the 12 kids says is great advice. Discipline is great for kids and helping adult kids with money is a slippery slope.

                Gotta say I'm having a hard time believing that 12 kids have NEVER had a speeding ticket. I consider myself a pretty damn safe and cautious driver and had two tickets as a teenager and another in my 20s -- so if I were this guy's typical kid then his bad parenting would be responsible for 36 speeding tickets.

                Some people are just blessed with good kids and/or too clueless to know when they don't have good kids. But people with one or more really messed up kids didn't necessarily do anything wrong, that's where people go wrong with their thinking sometimes.

                  Eh. It's getting kind of old. He needs to ramp up the symbolism a notch.

                        I think Obama has terrible form in his bow hand. I wish McNaughton would have painted it better.

                        But then again, maybe it is rife with symbolism!!!

                          It just goes to show that Obama's violin form is as bad as his baseball throwing motion.

                            Obama/Nero fiddles while America/Rome burns.

                              I didn't realize Rome had a Capitol Building-type structure, and I certainly didn't know that Nero was black.
