So there is a pretty heated debate going on in the "bullying" forum thread. Little ms. Redfraggle and Mindi have raised the flag of ignorance and I feel the need to point out a few things.
One take your sanctimonious head out of your bleeding heart ass. Life is tough, kids have to be tougher.
Next go back and actually read what I said. Put it all together for the overall thesis. What I said for the more challenged members of Bloop is that Kids need to be taught HOW and WHEN to fight.
I also said that the parents need to toughen their kids up. We have a generation of kids coming up that can't take name calling or pranks. We as a society got all touchy feely and PC. By doing so we have nurtured a crop of weak children which will turn into weak adults which then weakens or society as a whole.
Now I am not saying that everybody out there needs to be filled with bravado and machismo. What is needed is people to grow a set of balls and learn to step up rather than bitch out.
All this coddling has done is breed a bunch of passive aggressive deviants. Who instead of settling things "Mano-a-Mano" on the playground (like we did as kids) they would much rather take to the internet and hide behind the safety of a computer screen and blog in order to taunt and ridicule.
If you ask any generation before Y, they'll tell you that we have raised sissies. That the 80's brought forth a newer idea in how children should be taught and raised and that it was one of the biggest mistakes that could have been made. The first time we let parents be sued for disciplining their brood was the beginning of the end.
Before you start screaming about abuse and all that jazz. Let me say this, I was a child that was a abused and molested. I have lived with that my whole life and I for one no the difference between abuse and discipline. So please keep you whiny crybaby assed opinion on it to yourself. Kthx
My son gets spanked. Very rarely these days, but for awhile there he got his butt whooped for every major infraction. After a while....low and behold! He stopped doing the things he was getting spanked for. Now I could have tried sitting him down at 4 explaining the rules in GREAT DETAIL, go through every in and out of the law of the land, but do you think he would have gotten it? I can tell you that no he did not, he stared at me blankly the few times that I tried and promptly went back to what he got in trouble for.
When we as a society how we raised our kids, very soon after that we started to see the effects. Some....the pansy wanna hug everybody people cheered and hooted that children were no longer in danger. Well all you did is put everyone else in danger.
So call me names. Slander my name. Write me hate mail. You'll only be proving my point. Now go cry me a river you two and get the hell over yourselves.
