[Kvlt Wench]

Hey Neal, did you just say you wanted to see serious cat?

 

[Liverslapper]

i wasn't saying that rap music itself was the cause of anything - it's people who take the content of the music and TURN IT INTO their lifestyle. the same thing has happened with rock and metal but it's not on as large a scale and it's never been this socially acceptable. you've even got rap artists, comedians, etc, saying that this isn't the result they want to see as far as their fans.

and i think russell's argument about myspace factors into it a lot, too - whether it's song lyrics, music videos, friend lists, whatever - it's people searching too hard for acceptance because, with a lot of young people especially, they're not getting enough supervision or support at home because, like Isabel said, either their parents had them too young or they just decided that AFTER having children was when they should focus more on themselves.

You all seem to be forgetting that statistically children who are beaten are most likely to commit violence against others as adults. Maybe people just shouldn't have kids unless they know how to raise them without resorting to physical punishment.

And saying that rap is the cause of the problem is the same as claiming it's heavy metal or video games or any of that nonsense. It's because of ignorance, and there have been lazy, violent kids long before rap ever existed.

Who said anything about beating children? I'm talking about smacking around teenagers who deserve it.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

you don't hit them when they're really young, you just smack them when they're old enough to realize they're being punished for doing something wrong.

 

[Dead Winter]

I should clarify.

If a 15 or 16 year old kid wants to act like an adult hoodlum or thug and breaks into people's houses and shoots paintballs at passing cars (I keep referring to this because this is what my little brother did a few months ago), then he should be treated like an adult and punished as you would punish an adult, by severely being beaten.

If I catch someone in my house stealing my tv, I don't care how old they are. They're gonna get my foot up their ass.

All the bleeding hearts can eat a hot bowl of dick.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

i dunno how much beating or any kind of punishment would really help a kid in that situation. it'd probobly just make him more likely to react violently. and at that age, they've pretty much been taught how to act and are not mature enough to rationalize things,

McDonalds is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Yes, you're right. He HAS been taught to do things like that, and do you know how? His entire life, everyone has treated him with kid gloves. "No Jason, you're not supposed to do that." "Go to your room Jason." "You're grounded, Jason." "You shouldn't break into people's houses, Jason. You're grounded again." "Don't talk back to your mother, Jason." "Go to bed Jason, for the fourteenth time." "Why are you sneaking out of the house, Jason? You're grounded again, Jason." "We're gonna enroll you in sports, Jason, maybe that will keep you out of trouble." "Pull your pants up, Jason and stop acting like you're from the hood."

Fucking enough is enough. I asked my parents, "Why don't you beat his fucking ass? If I had done that when I was his age, I still wouldn't be able to sit down."

"Well, we want to resolve this without hurting his feelings and bringing his self-esteem down." Yeah, how's that going for you?

He does it because he knows the worst thing that's going to happen is that he'll go to his shrink more often, he'll fake taking more pills because he's got ADHD, and he'll be a nice young lad for a few weeks until he's off the hook and then he'll do it all over again.

Here's an example:

One day my dad fuckin' had ENOUGH after the paintball incident. He took him to the police. The cop told him, "One more time, young man, and you're going TO JAIL." Did it fase him one bit? He surely acted like it did, but in reality it didn't. When I told him that in one more year, he'll be going to pound-me-in-the-ass prison if he keeps it up, he says, "NUH-UH!!!! I'll be 17!!!" Then he kinda got scared when I told him that at 17 he'll be charged as an adult and he'll go to said prison, but then he just shrugged it off.

His mother constantly refers to the fact that, "Oh he has problems with ADHD and other things." Then I asked her, "Remember when I was a kid? Remember how I was really hyper and had trouble paying attention as well? What's the difference? Nothing. You all disciplined me the hard way and I learned really fast that you can't blame it on this shit." The worst things I did was like stay out all night and get caught sleeping in the same bed as my girlfriend at home and stupid shit like that. I treated other people with respect and aside from the normal teenage rebellion, I was a normal kid.

The only difference between Jason and me is the fact that he's not punished and I was. He wanted to join the Air Force and I told him he couldn't because he's got a criminal record. If he wants to do anything in life, everyone's going to see his criminal record and it will be an uphill battle from here on out. He's been kicked out of every single school in Lincoln Parish and they don't know what to do with him.

They constantly ask, "Why didn't we have these problems with you when you were a kid and were basically the same?" It's because they punished me as parents should punish children, not by asking them how it makes them feel by some shrink and load him up on drugs that he doesn't fucking need and that he doesn't take anyway.

A foot in the ass is all he needs. If he doesn't get it, then I hope he brings his soap on a rope in jail. I told him that due to his wanting to be popular and kind of a "bad boy", he'll get his wish eventually.

He'll be REALLY popular in jail with all the other criminals, being some pristine little white boy.

Beatings don't work for everyone. There are some for whom beatings are meaningless and the only thing the kid is left with is better knowledge of when to duck. My bad-egg sister is like that. She’s almost 20 and she’s still like that. My parents have tried practically everything, aside from maybe the dog whisperer.

 

[Dead Winter]

I'll never go into politics. I'd wipe out half the world.

I have a fascist asshole mindset when it comes to stupidity.

 

[DriftAlongLiquidSky]

Haha. Yes, that's exactly what it is. Blatant, relentless stupidity. My sister’s only skills are her uncanny ability to manipulate and her constant drive for sympathy. Other than that, she can't spell the word "tow".

All fast food is junk .uke:

"beating" doesn't work, but "spanking" - is NOT bad.
Basically, good parenting, is to remind your kid: who's the boss. All this new "aww my poor kid, I should be gentle with him/her" is big BS.
parents who tell their toddlers: "Timmy, I would appreciate it if you stop screaming" makes me just angry.
APPRECIATE MY ASS!! you're the parent: you MAKE your kid stop screaming, not "Asking him to" are you kidding? a 3 years old toddler doesn't give a shit if you "appreciate" anything.
My parents both, absolutely NEVER let us scream in public... always be polite, always use your maners, especially if you're in a restaurant or a public place, (and we all know and HATE those screaming kids in restaurants right?)
When I was 2 and didn't listen to my mom: she would take me aside, and spank my butt... not beating: but spanking... you think I didn't learn the lesson as a little gitl?
later when I turned 3-4 it was just a look from her to remind me NOT to do something. Spanking is not bad- it teaches your kids FAST what not to do.
All this new "silk gloves" parenting that is taking place nowadays annoys me. Parents are raising brats....

With that being said: I also agree with Izabel: parents who are NOT ready for kids should not even bring them... this world is full of broken families and kids that are growing up with issues....

bah.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

the teenage pregnancy rate here is ridiculous. so many girls who i graduated with now have children, i've seen entirely too many girls my age either pregnant or with infants where i've worked and you just know either they're going to spoil and indulge those kids or snap and beat the hell out of them, so either way you're just a whole new generation of kids even more fucked up than this one.

Vote for me in 2012, and I will introduce the Mandatory Post-Natal Abortion Act.

Oh shit, I'm posting?

McDonald's is the scum of the earth when it comes to fast food. It's all about either Sonic or Carl's motherfuckin' Jr/Hardees.

 

[The Grayfox]

I used to love Carl's -- until I woke up one morning after eating there, and proceeded to vomit beef, bbq sauce, and fragments of an onion ring. Haven't eaten there since.

Sonic is great. The nearest one to me is like 2 hours away though. But, I do have an In-N-Out right here in town.

 

[Seasons_Of_Destruction]

I hate In-N-Out. Ugh, I hate it. The closest Sonic to me is in Marysville.. which is about an hour away. That sucks about Carl's Jr, though. Six Dollar Western Bacon Burger, ftw.
