And now for an uplifting video ...

Post by Earl »

This video was posted in an e-mail that my older daughter sent to me earlier today. This news item about a five-year-old girl who saved her father's life is truly inspiring. I wanted to share it with you.

Good evening Earl, and thanks for posting the link to that video.

Yes, she is one very intelligent little girl, and far more mature than Nick and all of his butt-buddies over at 4chan. Nick and all of those moronic 4chan zoo-tramps should be in diapers.

I wish more adults were at least half as mature as that little girl.

That's a great video. Some of the things she says are funny, but in general it's awesome that she could stay that calm in such a situation.

People like this just have to be respected. There is no denying that she handled that better than many adults could have. Some adults would just break down. I too found this inspiring; it is good that kids are still prepared to stay loyal to their parents in any situation. Some kids out there would not bother. Believe me, lack of respect for their elders is one of the reasons why the youth of today are becoming so rebellious. They forget about moral values; it all just becomes about cliques and popularity. In my opinion, family bonds should be allowed to remain stronger than friendship bonds. Don't forget who brought you into existence...

You can't forget some parents are complete garbage, and hardly roll-models themselves. Some children end up being so miserably that they'd rather be dead than living. What kind of existence is that? Respect their parents they don't even have respect for their own lives. And then there are the countless number of kids abused by their parents where physically, sexually, verbally or any combination of the three or all of them. Which can lead to low self-esteem, psychological disorders, poor social skills etc. And the worst, you guessed it..repeating the cycle with their own kids. There's that story about this mom that wouldn't let his son get a bath, he was ridiculed so much at school that eventually hanged himself. And then there's was that man who raped his daughter repeatedly and kept her in a custom-built prison for more than twenty years! Oh, they had 7 kids born from the rapes(who were kept in the prison too!) also and his wife(the girl's mother) didn't do shit and even assisted the psychopath.

He is seated on the right hand of Obi-Wan's ghost. He will come again to train Leia to be a Jedi. We believe? in Yoda.........:D
