I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4475582299683845680.post-33242348209650121292007-07-03T09:52:00.000-07:002007-07-03T09:52:00.000-07:00m.f.: when I read your above comment...I really wa...m.f.: when I read your above comment...I really wasn't paying attention...I thought you'd only added me to your blogroll, but I had idea about the post and your wonderful addition to it, so I thank you here as well as there.

Children definitely want structure and guidance but these so called parents (especially fathers) out there are not supplying it. This is why that young man chose to listen to you and the others followed suite. So many young men of this day and age have TV and the streets to consult when it comes to learning respect or the lack of. I guarantee you that young man will remember the word you gave him for a long time to come.

I just wish i and others had more times like these than the times we remain quiet.
