I don’t think anyone here has done that. Tho I have seen a bunch of people rush to defend that entire class from legit complaints about some.
But not on the running about part?
You appear to be the sort of parent that Rubystreak? (I think, don’t remember now) claimed wasn’t posting in here. The parent that says “oh gosh, they are just kids, that’s what they do” when the kids are running about a store.
You do realize that it is never appropriate for a child to be running about and/or making a bunch of noise in a store?
Because we are talking about children being planned/born now, not last year or 10 years ago. It is too late to go back and slow the population down back then, all we can do is try to do it now or in the near future. In other words, you all can stop any time.
Soooo, when you claim it is a good thing you had kid(s) so someone can roll me over in the nursing home, that was - what?
Oh brother. For one thing, as I said above, you can stop pumping them out at any time, we have plenty of workers to go around. For another, are you seriously trying to claim that anyone has a child for the, ahem, selfless reason of providing me a minimum wage worker in my old age?
Damn good thing since you can’t seem to understand what you are reading, based on the above.
Apparently you have passed that stage a long time ago.
Wow, another person that thinks that disabled must mean the person has to be confined to their bed…
Which of course doesn’t even address where you got the idea that I drove 16 hours in a single day, or that I got anything done other than driving to Sacramento, handing someone a dog and then driving home.
Right after you post the steps it took to make you into a completely selfish and intolerent person who is unable to interpret the written word.
I’m sorry that you are unable to understand what I post. Or maybe it is that you are unable to grasp anything outside of your narrow world view and substandard education? Whichever one it is, it is hardly my fault, or my concern. However, it is extremely interesting that you say this about only me, when there are others in this thread that share my opinions on the subject. Obsessed much?
WRT to a pit thread on me, it’s been done.
curlcoat I will not answer to your gibberish anymore, that’s it.
Great! Bye bye!
Oh, wait, don’t forget your kid!!!
Ok, you can respond to my gibberish instead. Know who sucks? People who sit their damn kids on the counter or tables at restraunts. You know, people’s FOOD goes there, and your spawn’s diapered ass isn’t exactly sanitary. You know who you are. Screw you guys.
The same exact way that you know you’re not experiencing confirmation bias.
Then so is mine.
No, dear. It’s because you said this to me:
Why would I be of the opinion that anyone is ALWAYS anything? I would have to be pithed to say that children are always angels. Thus, it’s you who created this straw man about how children “always” behave, not me.
Wow, you really don’t recall what you write, do you? Possibly because you write so damn much, and so much of it is bullshit. I don’t have the right to dictate how you feel, but you SAID you would not be insulted or belittled if I described your behavior as assholish. Here’s your own words:
So, when I said you were acting like an asshole, that would merely be a description of your behavior, and by your own lights, it’s not belittling or an insult, just as describing children as heathens is merely a descriptor and not an insult. If you’re going to make statements like the one above, you have to live with them.
No, you described them as you feel they are. Your descriptions are not objective and are not the final word, the definitive take, on how most children behave today. I and others are alienated by the way you speak of children: hellspawn, pooped out, heathens. You don’t like it when people speak of you that way, so don’t do it to others. Or, go right ahead, but don’t expect to be treated with civility in return, and don’t bridle so when it happens.
Try writing them in a neutral way, rather than a hostile way, and I’ll meet you in the middle.
I’m a fucking TEACHER. I deal with the seriously negative aspect of children far more often than you do. The reason that I don’t see them as monsters as you do is because I have a different attitude than you do. It’s not that you’re right and I’m in denial. It’s just that you hate children and I don’t. End of story.
Idiotic analogy.
No, you just accused ME of thinking children are always angels, because you like your straw men.
You said:
That’s where I got the idea. Do try to keep track of what you say.
I can’t imagine where I got the idea that you drove 16 hours in a day.
Oof. I’m waiting to see how that’s reconciled.
Also – on what planet is training service dogs and driving them to owners not “work”? I’m open to the possibility that it’s totally volunteer work … but I dunno, seems like you need specific skills, worth money in the open labor market, to train service dogs.
The term “disabled” carries an assumption of impaired mobility (or motor ability) at some level. In colloquial, off-the-cuff speech.
However, I do know that folks can get SSI for psychological issues of various kinds. Hey, there’s no shame if your disability is bipolar disorder or something like that.
There are a LOT of service dog organizations and I know at least some of them rely on volunteers.
Still for the 16-hour drive that curlcoat might or might not have taken, that’s something you’d think someone would be paid for.
No kidding? I wonder how they vet trainers to make sure volunteers know what they’re doing?
Any and all, I’m betting it’s just as much work as the cushier end of 9-to-5 gigs.
Except, I said there is a possibility I am. Are you reading these posts?
Only if you can provide some evidence of that.
Snort. Me asking you if* you* think children are always angels doesn’t equal me saying that children are always anything.
Even if I didn’t, your responses still don’t have anything to do with what I have posted.
So much wrong here… OK, I have never said that my descriptions are the final word - no one’s are since they are always tainted by previous experience, bias, memory and a bunch of other things. Next, it is certainly not my issue that you “and others” are alienated by any negative words used to describe children that are acting like hellspawn who were probably popped out by heathens. Would you be so “alienated” if parents use these words? You know that some do, right? Next, as I said before, I couldn’t care less what words you use to describe me - it’s not like it makes it true or anything. Finally, again, I am not “bridling” - you are the one that is having the emotional issue here, not me.
OK, you tell me how I am supposed to describe children that do these things. Such as the one that is now screaming in the parking lot outside my room. She’s been doing it for quite some time now.
Huh. No wonder I have such a poor opinion of the current state of education. I do hope you don’t teach your students with that attitude.
Or this one.
A teacher that doesn’t understand the difference between calling someone a heathen and saying they are acting like one. Sigh.
Because you assumed that it actually was a turn around. Welcome to my old age and deteriorating physical condition - I had intended it to be a turn around when I left, but found I had to stay over Friday night. Perhaps if you weren’t trying so hard to find something to bash me with, you’d think to ask why something doesn’t add up rather than just jumping to conclusions.
Of course, that would require less bias and more brains… :dubious:
As a crying baby? Just a thought.
