What are some controversial views you hold?
1. I believe that as a Christian I should live as Christ would have me live and set that example for others around me.
2. I believe that the marriage of tomatoes and basil is a match made in heaven.
3. I believe that children grow best with unconditional love and the attention and time from their parents and not daycare and schools and “things”
4. I believe that in order to make a good loaf of bread you have to start out with good quality ingredients.
5 I believe that parents are the best and first educators of their children and that public education has so deteriorated that no parent should send their child to a public school.
6. I believe that the “they” who determine what is fashion should be stood in front of a firing squad at dawn for what they have done to the concept of modesty in young girls and women today.
7. I believe that I have said enough for one evening since this is all controversial enough.
I just strained my brain unnecessarily to answer the featured question. You can strain your brain too.

But… I’m waiting for you to say something controversial…
P.S. — I just got home from buying grains for my bread baking and was amazed that the prices were over double what I paid the last time I bought in bulk. My homemade bread is surely going to be appreciated and no crumb go to waste now! I hope with gas prices going down again that it will trickle down to other products as well…
Where’s the controversy in that? LOL
@nettieheidmann - Not so far. Just remember that when you make your own bread it is healthier that the “plastic” stuff. So even though it is more expensive it is better for you in the long run.
Glad you agree with my controversial opinions. Around here I try to keep it mum as far as my feelings about education and children. And about keeping children home and not sending them to daycare. I figure I am an example of the ability to do with less and still raise good kids by staying home with them. In most homes both parents don’t have to work if they are willing to do with less when it comes to things. Enough about one of my favorite topics. Good luck on your bread.
#6 is awesome!!
Right on!! Love every point.
Sorry, but you are talking to an “old school” person who agrees with everything you said. I wish my g-kids could have been home schooled but it wasn’t a possibility with the home situation the way it was.
On the Obama post….I have seen that and isn’t it a crock that not only couldn’t he pass the clearance….He couldn’t have worked where Wil worked at all…..and he still hasn’t produced a birth certificate and he is going to be sworn in in a few weeks as president of our nation!? Can you imagine this man with all our top secrets and his finger on the buttons that could distroy everything?

Yeah, I echo the “waiting for the controversy” sentiment.
I not only agree with you on the daycare point, but I think daycare is a hideous reality. Hideous!
I’m kind of on the same sheet of music with you, which means I can’t controverse over it anymore than anyone else. Bummer, right?
I totally agree with everything you said. Mostly with #6. I wear more to bed than most people wear to work! Good luck tomorrow!
@ddp040 - I wear more in one day than most people wear in a week. I wear more under my clothing than most people wear to the beach. If the young think that their blatant nudity is “sexy” they are wrong. Their constant showing of their obvious bodily flaws along with everything else is nauseating to say the least and sad. It is no wonder that many men are constantly “shopping” visually for another woman when the wares are being displayed so obviously for all to see.
In regards to # 6: We were in church one sunday evening, and then Teens from the church were doing a “live video” for us. One of the girls during her scene, fell to the floor with her back to the congregation, and you guessed it, she had on the low cut jeans, and a thong hanging out above the jeans waistline. I was totally embarrassed for her; and actually wanted to take her parents outside for a “talk”.
How are parents to expect their daughters to remain pure if they allow them to dress so provocatively? Dressing provocatively, to me, gives the wrong impression if they are seeking purity!!
I agree with almost every statement made…except the one about public schools. I stay home so my kids don’t do daycare, and so I can be as involved in their school as possible. Now, I do have to say that they’re in elementary school and most of the teachers at our school are Christians…and that makes a HUGE difference…but I don’t want them in public school from middle school up ~ even if that means I *do* homeschool them. (but we have a GREAT private school in place right now…I’m just saying that if we can’t afford it when the time comes I will either a) work at the school so they can attend or b) homeschool them myself. )
So…great post! I just have learned that it really does depend on the school and on the level of parent’s involvement as to the quality of education they’re getting at an elementary public school.
@CH1216a - should the parents then be shocked if their daughter is treated a certain way because of the way she is dressed even if their daughter isn’t “that kind of girl”
@perelandra30 - Exactly! She may not be that “kind of girl”, but could be perceived that way.
I agree with number 7 whole-heartedly. I’m sick of trying to buy clothes that don’t have enough fabric to cover a hamster much less a person. And don’t even get me started on bathing suits. ~ L
