The remake looks way better and anyone that doesn't think so should.be made to watch Roadhouse with Peter Griffin doing commentary for 5 straight days.

What's more overboard than, "can't wander past..."? Again I don't think there are any more helicopter parents now than when I was a kid, but now everything that happens is exposed and out in the open and it simply feels,like there's more of it.

Sorry, I agree with the rest and disagree with you. I was raised waaaay differently than most of my kid's friends, and frankly than my kid was. I'm older than you but we sure as hell were much more "free range" than "helicopter parented" as opposed to the kids today and for the past 18 years.

goldy is referencing, I think, the "Free Range Parents" case in Maryland, where a brother and sister have been picked up and taken home by the police two (or three?) times now while walking home from the park; the parents have been investigated for child endangerment, and could lose custody of their children. It's all of a mile between home and the park. Basically, the parents are being cited for what my friends and I did daily while walking to and from school. My house was 0.95 miles from elementary school, walked it daily - up hill both ways... because of the valley between my house and the school.

I had to be home for dinner at 6, otherwise I went anywhere in Orono I could get to, including the university. I walked to school from 1st grade on with other kids. Probably helped I had older brothers. We walked to the pool, little league, pick up bball at school. My kid was watched much more closely but then we live in more rural area so walking or biking anywhere is harder.

It's crazy that is still going on. Seems as if CPS is using this to justify their jobs. Imagine them holding the kids as prisoners for 5 hours?

The sad thing is that I'm sure there are cases that the CPS could actually be doing some good, yet they are choosing this battle to fight.

Sometimes it's just the domestic terrorists needing to fill their quota, or exceed it to get a promotion. http://truthvoice.com/2015/05/india...-charge-for-letting-her-kids-play-in-a-creek/

Except "they" didn't. That Fox Snooze meme is so beaten to death, I'm amazed you're even still pedaling it.

They wanted to build an Islamic community center, two blocks from the WTC site. That is not "on" Ground Zero, and it is not a mosque.

Might as well be one. They pray five times a day; you're telling me that place isn't going to be in use during prayer time?

And I bet you anything that as much as the administration won't force people to pray, that place will be filled with some pretty ticked off towelheads if you don't put dem knees on a rug.

What difference does it make? They can theoretically pray five times a day anywhere, as long as they have a quiet spot and a prayer rug. I'm sure some "scary Islamic praying" goes on in Lower Manhattan every day already.

What would it matter? First of all, there were Muslims in the towers on 9-11, too. Secondly, and most importantly, we're not in a war with Muslims. Tarring Islam for 9-11 is like saying you can't open a church in Oklahoma City because Tim McVeigh and David Koresh were fundy fckwits.

May as well just blame all violence on religion and ban also religious structures everywhere. :rolleyes:

Nah, the churches can stay -- they're pretty. I just want the faithful to go all Thunder Dome on each other. We've got a world of secular architecture and religious people, which is exactly the opposite of what's desirable.

If people don't have at least some sense of morals, then we're all just blobs of carbon moving about without purpose. The fact that some refer to this a religion offends some people, but if there isn't something worth living for, then what the heck are we doing here?

Morality and religion are independent axes.
