My kids were on the local news!

Ethan (green shirt) at the 1:12 mark answering a question and Justin (red/grey stripe shirt) at the :60 mark giving a hug to another child. We were playing at the local mall last week, they were there doing this story. The gimmick was that even kids could do a better job settling their differences than the yahoos in the NY legislature.
:D

Fantastic! Who says that kids who are raised with humanistic values cannot be good kids or understand kindness?
My 11 year old was at the 4-H camp today and they were talking about stress and healthy ways to cope with stress. Anyhow a checklist was given out that inclued 'religion' as one of the things a person could use to help manage stress (if I'm understanding my son correctly). The kids were supposed to check off the things they use/do to manage stress. One of the adult counselors happened by and noticed that my son left the 'religion' box unchecked. She asked him why and he said, "I don't have religion. I don't believe in god". He said she looked surprised and told him he probably needed to check the box and walked away and looked annoyed.
"She gave me a really weird look", my son said.
Poor folks. They just can't conceive of not others not needing imaginary friends! And at a 4-H camp! The horror! -

Sad. Sad that someone (a child no less) who doesn't believe in god is an annoyance to other people. Good for your son, although to him I'm sure her reaction was puzzling.

My second grade teacher used to send back my papers with my first name "corrected" for spelling. (Which is why I changed my name to Angie when I was 12.)

Debra Stevenson commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Yes, not everyone thanks a deity for their survival and nobody should thank their god for a vicious tornado that wiped out so much of what people owned and even took lives, especially the lives of innocent children.

sk8eycat commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Tony, I love that clip! "Wolf Gets Blitzed"...tee-hee.
Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
