Boomer here. Parents were The Greatest Generation - and we were never allowed to forget it! I spent my first 18 years on earth hearing how they: 1. Shoveled 3 tons of coal before breakfast every morning, 2. Walked uphill to school 5 miles a day through a blinding snowstorm (even in June) 3. The wind always blew in your face never at your back, 4. They didn't have food back in ...[text shortened]... fought the war with the other - AND THEY WON! 6. And you kids don't know what "tough" is!! Grrrr 😠

I am The Silent Generation, but also close to the Baby Boomer Generation - often referred to as the fortunate generation.

Great men are not born great, they grow great.

Curious

How come a lot of forum posters haven't played a game of chess in over a 100 days?

Just curious

Now and then we get tired of chess and need a break but stay in touch with the forums, it happened to me. Then we may start new games after a while.

OK “kids”…time to get back on track. How many, if any kids do you have? I have 2 “of my own” and another 4 (not including sons/daughters - in - law which would increase that number by 2) in a blended family.

Since we are back on track:
I have two daughters, five grandchildren and one precious great-grandchild, 9 years old.

I certainly hope so if the boy has anger issues! I don't have a gun as I am afraid I may use it on someone in the heat of the moment.

Kids and guns shouldn't be allowed.

So anyone who buys a gun for a minor will get a similar sentence?

Will this verdict be precedential?

Seems I’ve accidentally removed my post when I tried to quote it. 😏

Well, each parent of the Michigan school shooter has got a 10 - 15 year prison sentence.

Is it the first time it happens that parents are punished in a similar way?
