Jumlpin’ Jesus on a Fuckin’ Pogo Stick
Please tell me that’s a joke
Worked for Dexter.
Oh, whew. Here I thought we were in a time in which people would be so fearful of the very concept of anything that could be even remotely tied to the concept of socialism that we couldn’t teach even the most basic cooperation to our kids. That the concept of being “socialist” was inherently so scary that anything remotely tied to it would be the downfall of our society.
But fortunately this happened years ago, so I think we’re cool. Since then we’ve all come to our senses, and vague references to socialism are no longer used in an attempt to slander people, right?
Whew, we dodged a bullet there.
Yes. McSweeneys is a humor magazine.
Apparently, you didn’t because you are still making the same wrong conclusions.
See, I didn’t make that assertion, Rigamarole did. What I did say has been repeated twice now.
None of this has anything to do with what I said, and completely ignores how clear I was that I wasn’t talking about sharing, I was talking about things that are taken away from the owner and given to someone else. Are you not aware of the big difference between those two?
Wait, there’s hardcore sex in Atlas Shrugged? Damn, I could never make it past the first chapter without falling asleep, which was a problem because I was trying to read it while on a graveyard shift at work.
You clearly referred to his statements in your posts.
The sad thing is that anymore, it’s hard to tell. I could seriously see someone teaching their kid to act like that. 
(Remember not too long ago the woman who lectured those girls at a lemonade stand for giving out lemonade for free?)
We’re only aware that you’re pants-on-head retarded, love.
They’re five year olds, fuckmook ! They lick stray dogs and soil themselves when mildly stressed ! They don’t know what a government is, let alone personal responsibility. My Little Fountainhead is miles above their paygrade. When they don’t have their glue it’s not because they made a sly conscious decision to mooch off the System you drooling imbecile, it’s because Mommy forgot to pack it today. Nor do they go home with a budding notion that the System will take care of them through taxation, they go home thinking Spongebob Squarepants is funny and glue tastes AWESOME.
So you are saying there is no point in teaching children of that age anything? :eek:
You’re not very good at the Internet, are you?
Good enough to see that you aren’t getting it either.
I’m saying there’s no point trying to teach them things they can not even remotely process or understand yet. 5 year olds are about on the same mental page as pets. Potty training ? Yes. The evils of Marxism ? No. Don’t bite Kevin ? Yes. Dissertation on Randian ethics ? No. ABCs ? Yes. Unabridged War & Peace ? Not quite just yet.
Can you dig it ?
Something similiar happened with crayons in kindergarten. My grandmother bought be a really nice big box of crayons with mulitple shades of each colour. The teacher said it wouldn’t be fair for me to have so many more crayons that the other kids and made them shared crayons. It pissed my mother off enough that she showed up in person the next day and made my teacher give the crayons back to her.
I’m amazed at your lack of faith at what a 5 year old can learn, or are just not aware of the wide range of things between the ABCs and War & Peace? Obviously a 5 year old is not going to give a dissertation on Randian ethics but they do notice things that “aren’t fair”, like getting their things taken from them without their permission, or even being asked. And judging by the posts here from people who remember this happening to them as young children, I’d say it makes an impression.
Or maybe it’s just that today’s 5 year olds are far dumber than 40 years ago? I do know that today’s pets can understand “not fair” - if today’s kindergardeners can’t, that would be rather scary.
Oh please, do tell us.
When a 5 year old says something is “not fair”, it means “It’s not 100% how* I* want it to be”, nothing more. If Kevin has a ball and Billy doesn’t, that’s just not fair. If he has to go beddy-bye at 9PM, that’s so unfair. Being told to eat something that’s neither a burger nor candy, unfair-city !
Come to think about it, maybe that’s not so different from how adults use that word… moving on.
Also, without their permission ? For fuck’s sake, they’re 5. Year. Olds. Their entire existence is people telling them what to do, what not to do, and not asking for their input either way because their input is dumb and they don’t know shit. And that’s if they can concentrate on the question for more than 3 seconds.
Besides, that’s not what you said. You said, and I quote:
Which is so powerfully, crayon-bitingly, glue-snortingly retarded. It’s like saying if the teacher writes 2+2=4 on the blackboard, then the kids will figure out polynomial equations. They’re barely starting to grasp the concepts of “more” and “less”, and you reckon they’re laying the groundwork on their lives’ ethics codes ? Get the fuck out, you bad sort of person.
Finally, and trust me on this, toddlers don’t need any help to intuit how to be nasty, selfish little ankle-biting pricks. It’s getting them to share anything, at all, in any circumstance and being something less than a completely narcissistic sociopath that’s a job and a half.
Considering how many people still seem to have trouble coming to grips with the idea well into adult life, I’d say it’s never too early to give it the old college try.
Lol, I would love to see an experiment in “The Begum’s Fortune”’‘s style, with one group of hardcore Randians, and the other of Liberal/Socialists. The Socialists would probably discover the Randians’ bones, during one of their courtesy visits to their camp, after only a few weeks into the experiment.
You are boring and apparently purposely incapable of following anything I say, so have fun being a twit all by yourself. I simply am not in the mood to point out all the dumb things in this post you just made.
Sharing is a part of normal socialization, which is important so as to avoid raising children into little curlcoats.
