Left -V- Right

---

Here is a fun page that a friend linked me to on Facebook. Left Vs Right Click on the image to read a full description of the map.

Hey, I write with my left and am mostly a left. Lol

I just love how the left views the criminals as the victims. I hope you lefties can keep that in the front of your mind should a criminal decides to bust a cap in your best friend (or spouse).There's so much more on the left to laugh (and cringe) at, but I haven't got time at the moment. Good night!

Its based on proper statistical info and isn't meant to support any one side. I think its a good way of comparing the two.It also means that when you look at the right side, you smile and nod and when you look at the left, you laugh and cringe. And its vice versa for me.

Well comon, bob. You know thor. He'll ALWAYS find onnne little thing to complain about, but yet do nothhhing about it... Then again, I can't speak for him. That would be rude.For the record, I like it! It explains things well. And I fall somewhere right about smack in the middle. Would that make me a dawk, or a hove?

Left family - atmosphere of protection and communication (also known as protection from consequences)Right family - atmosphere of reward and punishment (also known as employing the concept of consequences)As seen above, left children grow up to believe there are no (nor should there be) consequences for their behaviors. For being a criminal...being lazy...being irresponsible...being an asshole...no consequences for any of it. And anybody who experiences any consequences that are negative are led to believe they are "victims of society" (which also appears on the pictorial). In truth, they are victims of poor (or absent) parenting...the kind when there is no paternal role-model in the house. Since, in reality, there are always consequences (both good and bad), any protection from said consequences carries over into adulthood which creates a feeling that somebody should be taking care of them even then. This is the type of person who, at the age of 35, still lives with their parents...OR, at the age of 35, while on their own, expects somebody to take the place of their parents and continue to take care of them...shelter them from the negative consequences of their own bad behaviors that have carried over from childhood.The net result is we have a group of adults who, on a certain level, expect others to take care of them as if they were still children...and the government is only too happy to take control of their lives away from them in exchange for at least providing the illusion of taking care of them. Thus, the modern liberal faction of this country was born.This is what liberals define as "social evolution". Really.

have fun letting your kid learn about the consequences of playing on the freeway.I chose to protect my son from such object lessons with communication

It's like the argument that because atheists don't believe in God then we feel free to do whatever we want, which has never been shown to have any validity. Children from a left home are not taught that there are no consequences but rather that they should do good things simply because they are good, not out of fear.It is the religious fundamentalists that say that if there were no God then they'd be robbing banks and killing people as there would be no consequence. Atheists and children from left families (different things, try not to confuse them) don't do bad things because they are taught why they are bad and not simply what will happen to them if they are caught. As a result, if law should break down and the consequences are removed, the children from left families will be more inclined to not do bad things.

Quote:(also known as protection from consequences) Also known as being SAFE FROM HARM.  Quote:(also known as employing the concept of consequences) Also known as having FEAR, not RESPECT, for your parents. And "When I get an A on my report card, Daddy gives me 50 dollars!!! :D" leraning that only things worth getting PAID for, in some way, are worth doing.__I find it funny that you jump to these conclusions without any [said] prior expereince.Makes me think that this describes either you [your childhood], or your parenting. To assume such heinous things on parents that PROTECT and TALK WITH their children, makes me think that you see children as worse than you [i.e. being looked down upon], and shouldn't have any respect for you, or themselves, shouldn't be able to talk to you about anything, and should just learn, for themselves, that, "If I poke a pen through my eye, what happens?? :D", because they don't deserve any protection from those "victims of society" or the bad elements of life, and they don't deserve to be respected by their parents.I would LOVE to see the reports on you after seeing a psychiatrist. Oops, forgive me, was that rude?__This,  Quote:As seen above, left children grow up to believe there are no (nor should there be) consequences for their behaviors.

And anybody who experiences any consequences that are negative are led to believe they are "victims of society" is merely a result of [outside looking in] poor parenting, not that of "liberal-minded" parents. You CAN have both, and it's not the work of "crazy" parents, either.

Dangit bob, you beat me to it!

I'm very quick, as most girls can attest for.

ah, the politics of parenting... yet more bullshittoo strict or too lenient is bad for the childjust like too left or too right is bad for the country
