“Albeit someone with too high of an opinion of themselves would chime in and try telling me how wonderful people are.” To do this, like Rousseau, would be to completely ignore the biblical teaching regarding the depravity of man. Men like Rousseau believed that people are born with a blank slate (thank you, John Locke for that wonderful falsehood) and as such that it was society and culture that corrupted their minds and caused faulty behavior. However, even in an isolated environment, a child will still instinctively rebel against their parents. You don’t have to teach a child how to lie- they do it instinctively. And, you certainly don’t have to teach a child that it can strive against a parental authority and try to replace the parent’s authority with his/her own (ever seen a kid in K-Mart or Wal-Mart who won’t behave? Who’s really in control there- the parent or the child? My vote goes to the child).

I’m sure that Scott, if he wanted to embarrass his kids, could provide multiple examples of his children, as good of kids as they appear to be from what Scott posts, of misbehavior.

On a different and less serious note- according to a more recent Venn Diagram I saw on Facebook, those who use Facebook are narcissistic stalkers, and those who use Twitter are ADHD stalkers. Myspace is someone who’s an ADHD narcissist. lol
