First of all, I'd be laughing my head off as he squirmed on the ground from crushed nuts. I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. Mediteranian women rock!Winky said:How about it Bish, if some protected 'minority'
got in yer wive's face screamming yelling spittle
sprayin' all 'getting up on her' in 'her space' bellowing
obesenities, why can I visualize you cowering in fear?
Trying to be a fly on the wall, a mouse in the corner?
An innocent bystander?
Hmmmm?
MrBishop said:Actually...WTF are you saying with this?
So...what you're saying is that anyone who approaches your wife...your first responce is to kick them in the teeth. Avon ladies must love you. I've said it before...here we go again. Don't fuck with my family. Don't fuck with my kid. There is a big difference between someone arguing with my wife and someone trying to hit her. Your wife like it when you treat her like a porcelin doll? She even allowed out of the house? Don't stand up for your rights...that's my job?Winky said:Good job Big Guy your response is classic:
"First of all, I'd be laughing my head off"
out of fear no doubt, so your way of the warrior is to titter like a school gurl?
"I wouldn't even have to lift a finger."
so you let yer lil lady 'stick-up fer herself'
prolly 'sticks up for you too'? sic em honey!
You're contradicting yourself Wink. "There are only a few things worth fighting for." and "When I was a kid you didn't mouth off unlessWinky said:So is that what you will teach your future namby-pamby
offspring? I taught my kid well.
There are only a few things worth fighting for.
and once he got to be taller than nearly everyone else
(including the teachers) in 7th grade
You aren't a child anymore and Men fight to win
winning can include hospital stays, court dates or death so
don't fight unless you are defending the things on the very short list of things worth fighting for and in that case fight to win.
...and no amount of "That's not what I meant" is going to get that toe-tag off of your kid's foot because he decided that a leer was worth his life.Winky said:I'd hate to think of some guy's daughter being out with yer pamby Son and someone wanting 'a piece of that'.
no amount of scrubbing will get all the tire tracks offa yer kids back out in the real werld.
Among the mindless training exercises teachers undergo is the "Caring Being" session. Collins quotes a conflict-resolution expert in Brooklyn leading middle-school educators through the lesson: "I want you all to share a time in your career as an educator where someone did or said something that made you feel like you were not cared for or respected. . . . Now do the opposite." After drawing figures encompassing their negative and positive experiences, teachers shared their finished products, "Caring Beings," which would be used to "explore creating agreements around behaviors."
"Bleccch."
"American children badly need moral clarity. But our education establishment is too uneasy about the idea of moral judgment to meet this elementary need. Feelings of helplessness and disorientation are thoroughly, even compulsively, canvassed, elicited, discussed, and promoted; by contrast, feelings of moral indignation and condemnation are deflected and downplayed. This leaves children defenseless, clueless and unprepared to meet real and grave threats to their own and the nation's future."
There are certain tasks which must be shared between parents and educators. One reinforces the other. The problem happens when one side (often the parents) don't do their part in teaching morals and accepteable behavior and just let their little devils loose on the school-grounds. Then everyone grumbles when the teachers are forced to start 'non-violence' and 'anti-racial' programs, which wouldn't be necessary if the parents had actually done something at home.HomeLAN said:True, but it isn't the responsibility of the educational system to provide that. It's the job of the parents. BTW, that also neatly addresses the "whose standards" question as well.
The sorry state of the educational system in this country is a mere reflection of the equally sorry state of parenting.
