Tikrit's relatively safe compared to Baghdad, comparatively. Though a mortar landed about 50 meters away from us the other day. Some Ba'ath party anniversary

Discipline or Child Abuse?
by Dimples ini remember spanking my son when we used to attend meetings and conventions because he cried and just wouln't sit still.
i was told that he had to be disciplined so he would learn to behave and learn what was being said from the platform.
now that i look back i realize that that was child abuse and i feel so horrible about it.do you feel guilty for spanking your kids during meetings and conventions?

there is nothing wrong with spanking, plain and simple. Children are inherently selfish, and this quality must be removed. If a stinging bottom is what removes it, then so be it. There was a guy brought to trial and acquitted for spanking his son interviewed on Fox the other day. While I believe the son was too old to be spanked, (13 I believe) the father was well within his right to spank him. The jury saw it that way also.
As far as making the wee ones sit for that long, it's difficult I understand, I had to go through that when I was little and do the same to my daughter and older son. Even though we're all out, I'm confident knowing that my kids show more couth and cultural etiquette than some people twice their age.

well, Butt, just not the way he way he was thinking.
but hey, my bro was df'd, and 15 years later, the rest of our family left as well. It works both ways. Just because their propoganda says that 'they will realize the error of their ways' and 'seek forgiveness' to be 'brought back into the fold,' does not mean it works that way. Instead, in our case, my parents got a son back, I got a brother back, and my kids got an uncle back.
My family is proof.

top left - convoy through Kuwait, snapped a pic just in time as we drove by a sign for the Kuwait Camel Racing Club
bottom right - situation outside of camp - they thought someone had snuck a bomb on the bus - waited outside in the freezing cold for about 6 hours. soldiers were burning anything they could get their hands on to keep warm. was kind of funny actually.
other two were unimportant. when I go on leave I'll put more pix up, and do it right.
