With the recent hate speech of Kanye West, a lady was on the news just now teaching people that we must teach our children very young about EMPATHY, COMPASSION, and to care about how others feel, and to be polite and to be civilized, we need to begin teaching our children very young on how to be good people, and how to be leaders. We in the USA are blessed to be rich and powerful, and we have the power to help other people, we need to teach our children to use their power wisely and to help other people. With power comes responsibility.

I have always had a strong sense of empathy and I have always stopped bullies, etc, and I have never supported hate speech, and part of how I learned that I have the power to be a helper instead of being a poor victim was when I went to Mexico with Youth For Christ as a teen, we went to help poor people who lived in a garbage dump in Mexico and we also went to some orphanages, and I learned what it is like to help poor and desperate people. I am blessed with a good soul and a smart mind and I was blessed to be born in a wealthy nation, and I have the power to help other people. And if I was wealthy like Bezos and Musk then I would be helping other people with my wealth, I would be helping the homeless, and helping the Foster Children, etc, and I would be helping the poor people in Mexico, etc, and I would build libraries in the ghettos of the world, etc, and I would help people. That is what we need to teach our children is empathy and compassion and the joy of service.

Salute,

Tony V.

Today is World Kindness Day, that is what our world needs is more kindness.

In Anaheim our City motto is "City of Kindness" and the Plaza at City Hall is "Friendship Plaza." And of course we have Disney which is the Happiest Place on Earth. And we have the Angels baseball team which is a great name for our team. Anaheim is all about kindness, and happiness, and we believe in Angels, including believing in living Angels who are kind and who help other people.

Salute,

Mahlagha Jaberi

Posted Yesterday

Change.org

Please sign. STOP execution of Iranian protesters.

---------

Mahlagha Jaberi is putting her life on the line to help the people of Iran, Mahlagha is in danger now because she supports good human rights for the women of Iran. Mahlagha is very brave and she needs our support. Mahlagha can go on Good Morning America and beg Americans to care about good human rights in Iran, and she can explain how we are all connected, as we support good human rights for others then we help to support our own human rights. We need to have good human rights for all human beings.

Salute,

Tony V.

What to teach the children, [16 and 17 year olds are still children]:

. Be well-mannered, polite.
. Be kind.
. The world can be nice, and cruel at the same time.
. Never trust anyone....as the world is of full of liars, cheats, thugs, scammers, kidnappers, rapists, killers and all other forms of evil.
. Never lend anyone money, you might never see it again. Anyone asks to borrow money from you just tell them "I'd like to be able to lend you some money, but I don't have it to lend you, I'm struggling myself". That includes people on the internet [scammers] spinning you love sob stories. "I love you, my mom is sick and needs $20,000 for an operation to save her life".
. Never lend anyone anything you value, they could likely break/ruin it and not be able to return it to you in the same condition as when you lent it. Also, most people are not big on returning borrowed things to you in a timely manner or at all. You have to go chase them for the items.
. Always wear a life jacket around water.
. Never let anyone use your phone.
. Learn to swim.
. Be careful hiking...bears and big cats could rip you apart. Also, make sure you take enough life-sustaining food and shelter for a week in case you get lost, many hikers get lost. A satellite phone, compass, and emergency beacon are must-carry on your person items, a bear could run away with your bag.
Also, when you're old enough, carry guns...the bad people lurk in the shadows...waiting to pounce, the moment you get security-careless.
. Never drive in rural areas in vehicles that are not reliable...same deal as hiking, take food, water, compass, emergency beacon, satellite phone.
When the women in Hallmark movies break down in the middle of nowhere when going home for Christmas or going from the big city to small town USA to save the family farm...a handsome stranger always appears out of nowhere to save them. In real life the chance of that happening is very remote.

If that is all you know at seventeen,

The teaching starts in infancy...and continues to children at 17.
At 18 the children then become adults in name...and teaching changes, additions are activated.
Additions like;

. Obey all road rules.
. Verbally and/or physically abusing police officers will be to your disadvantage.
. 'Always blame the other guy'. 'Always have an excuse'. 'Always blame someone/something else'.
etc etc etc.

American man is brutally trolled after saying it is too dangerous to swim in Australia

#####

He was talking in particular about Sydney Harbour and a female about to dive in.
Everything he said is 100% correct.
It's alive with sharks, ocean waves roll in, the water is murky [not a hotel swimming pool] and no way known to mankind I'd ever be swimming in it.
He's very correct. Bull sharks abound and they'll attack anyone and any thing.
Sharks of all kinds along the coastline.

Go to the top half of the country, crocodiles abound, in the sea and rivers.

_______________
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

JC Dombrowski labelled the country a 'hotspot' for shark attacks before listing several more reasons people should avoid the water.

#####

Mr Dombrowski is very wise.

I can see why you constantly shit the bed. Bad parenting combined with a failson education system designed to fail all sons and daughters.

Maybe China will buy you up on the cheap and do a much better job on your next generation.

We will have to pull our nukes out when the deal goes down, but it will be good to see you finally in better hands. The British clearly did a half assed job with you useless convicts.

Many people in bambuworld now wear their convict ancestry like a badge of honour.  ;D

Japan is willing to park our nuclear ships/subs.

Youtube; The Fields of Athenry - Paddy Reilly

........
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

......

By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

I will defend Oz to this extent: by far the majority of "convicts" transported were the poor who were thrown into debtors prison for trying to eat and sleep under a roof.  Also worth noting:

Adult Literacy Rate

Australia.         99%

United States. 86%

Bambu, my advice for the youth is to find true love, LOVE is what this life is all about. And I have written a lot of poetry, and a movie, to try to teach the youth. Scorsese says that you should continue to make movies as long as you have something to say, and I have a lot to say.

Here is a poem that I wrote a long time ago to teach the youth to find true love...

Atherosclesosis
by T.L. Verley
 
 
The true love of which all seek
but seldom grab onto
The real stuff of which all speak
but seldom ever do
Above riches, reputation, and all of self
We need it like air
Yet it sits on the shelf
Our tender souls we won't share
Afraid to be hurt and won't take the time
It won't be your's this way
Nor will it be mine
Tis a futile game we play
We fake it with imposters in the beginning
In between what we convince ourselves counts
And we make believe we are living
While we are dying in large amounts
 
Learn young, hold out, and when it comes hold on
Make love the roots of all you do
Your tree of life will be beautiful and strong
And every phony that did not will wish they were you.

--

Poetry, movies, television shows, etc, can help to teach the youth. I want to teach the youth to find true love.

Salute,

Tony V.
