I haven’t commented in the Aransas Cty (TX) judge beats daughter for downloading from the Internet (2004 incident) thread because pretty much anything I can think to say about that terrible situation has been said at least a dozen times already.
Awful as that video was, the part that really made me go :eek: was this quote:
Keep in mind we’re talking here about a teenage girl downloading music and stuff on the internet, not a kitten-raping, nun-murdering teenage crack ho doing the Eric Cartman “Whatevah! Whatevah! Ah do what ah want!” routine.
She WANTED to be screamed at and beaten with a belt? She’s such a stubborn little she-ass that, oh, I don’t know, taking the computer away isn’t sufficient punishment? Ripping off the RIAA and potentially getting a computer virus from warez sites are such egregious offenses that she DESERVES to be beaten with a belt, crying and cowering and/or shipped off to a “brat camp”??? I saw a reality show about those camps a few years ago, and that’s where they send gangbangers, drug dealers, violent criminals, and prostitutes, not kids who illegally download the Billboard Top 40 or ROM hacks, fer fuck’s sake.
Are you wearing some kind of special stupid goggles or something?
Did Fundamentally Oral Bill hack your account? I’m not the only one moved to wonder if someone else is using your account (witness this ATMB thread: Is someone unauthorized using Lynn Bodoni’s account?) just because it seems to come nowhere.
And how does the illustrious Ms. Bodoni justify her words? With this jewel:
Funny thing, barring the occasional spank on the fanny as a toddler, neither my mother nor my father ever raised a hand to me or any of my siblings, and oddly enough none of us are sociopathic misfits. None of my friends growing up were ever beaten by their parents, and *mirabile dictu *not a single one of them ever showed up on America’s Most Wanted. The troublemakers I went through school with tended to be the ones whose parents didn’t really give a fuck what they did or didn’t do.
And the hits just keep on coming:
So, the options are either grounding/ no computer time, or beating a teenager black and blue while screaming for them to submit. Right. Gotcha. Yes, you were lucky, lucky you aren’t the one facing public shame and legal trouble for child abuse.
There are others in that thread who don’t think the punishment was over the top, and they’re at least attempting to justify the way they think.
You, madam, bailed as soon as the vast majority turned against you.
So let me recap: teenager downloading illegal stuff off the internet gets thrashed by her own father. According to Bodoni, said thrashing is warranted (well, maybe not that hard :rolleyes: )because obviously she hadn’t learned her lesson and was pushing Daddy’s buttons and teenagers don’t learn unless they’re physically punished.
Now that you’ve got your very own thread, care to explain A) is this the real you? and if so, B) you’re a sad, scary woman.
