Well, he DID have kids once, but they’ve all been slaughtered in easily-avoidable home and playground accidents.
Gotta tell you, a person who thinks that a two-year old girl has a chance of suffering head injuries riding a trike is the type of person who shuts down flights for a day because they saw some farsi written in airplane literature.
But at least they didn’t die pussies!
Brilliant retort, that. :rolleyes:
Of course, the fact that blows to the head have a cumulative effect, regardless of whether a person is obviously “injured” by any one of them, is of no concern of yours.
I remember when ice hockey goaltenders didn’t wear masks. Johnny Bowers comes to mind. But that was before the Americans started getting involved in the game. Now even the professional players are wearing helmets and face guards, just like the pussies in the NFL.
Yeah I miss those old gnarled “sarge” guys skating around without helmets. I played hockey, I’d get hit with a puck with padding, and it would hurt. Those dudes has balls of iron.
The sad thing is, there are idiots out there that would try to replicate whatever semi-dangerous or dangerous stunt they see in the commercial.
Not that the warning label would necessary stop them (the label’s just to absolve the advertiser/ad agency should some idiot try it).
Also, it’s interesting that they’ve also removed all of the teeter-totters (or see-saws) from playgrounds in New York, but the street signs that indicate you’re in a playground area still feature to kids on a teeter-totter!
For me, proof that Americans are pussies is wearing gloves when handling chili peppers!!
Obviously you didn’t respect him very much when you were growing up. You disobeyed him often enough to get whipped on a regular basis.
As I said … poor discipline.
Look, it’s like training a dog or a horse. You establish dominance over the kid early and maintain it by being strict and fair.
With little kids, three or four year olds, you don’t need to swat 'em to establish authority. Adults are big and scary. If they only way you can show your four-year-old who’s boss is to give 'em a smack, then I’m sorry, you are BIG PUSSY.
And if you’re still smacking your kids when they’re eight or ten … well you blew it when they were little. You didn’t train 'em proper when you had the chance and now you gotta do whatever it takes to keep the little monsters in line.
Yup.
I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I got smacked as a kid. My grandfather raised my father the same way.
You say you got in trouble all the time as a kid. I didn’t. I respected authority and did what I was told with no ifs, ands, or buts. I leave it to you to figure out which of us was better disciplined.
Look, when I was little I cracked my skull open three times, and I yji,n;r ,u yjtrsf just fine.

Spanking with a leather belt is demeaning and humiliating. WTF was wrong with his hand?
I think some kids need spanking, but for Og’s sake to take a *tool * to your kid is horrible.
And for the record, I was spanked too - but my daddy used his hand. And it was for the worst of infractions, not on a “weekly basis”. Violence is rarely a good solution.
He was obviously a pussy with a too-delicate hand.
“thumble my thread”
Weirdo.
Tough guys like me, we stem and seed and chop the chilies with our bare hands, then we go and take a piss.
What a good little consumer you must now be! :rolleyes:
I was spanked as a kid, as often as it was required. My parents used yardsticks. There was a fair that came by every year, and every vendor there was giving out yardsticks. My parents went every year and replenished their “collection,” since they had a tendency to break. If one broke during mid-spanking, they went and got another one. My brothers and I were spanked one time for each year of age we were. The rationale was that as we got older, we should know better. I haven’t been spanked since I was nine years old.
After my parents split, my dad married again. My stepmom was a “time-out” person. Her kids were little monsters. They had no respect for my dad, or their mom. They would mouth off to her at every opportunity. My dad was eventually able to get her to spank her kids. You know what? They calmed down pretty fucking quick.
Raise your kids however you want. If you think making them go to “time-out” is sufficient punishment, more power to you. But you (the general you, not specifically Pochacco) have no right whatsoever to tell anyone else how to raise their kids. Unless someone is beating their kids (it’s not difficult to tell the difference between a spanking and a beating), stay out of it.
Here’s a pertinent essay on the OP:
Deported. I guess they were afraid he might break out and sing or something. We are pussies.

So depressing. My girlfriend is a med student who was interested in OB/GYN. At least for about 10 seconds until she found out the real deal.
