swt61 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 I don't promote violence as a solution to any problem, but then you read something like this and realize that some people just need the shit beat out of them. I'll volunteer to do it, as many of you are busier people than I.
Beefy Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 I don't promote violence as a solution to any problem, but then you read something like this and realize that some people just need the shit beat out of them. The kids, or the dad?
mypasswordis Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Maybe beating shit into them will work as well, though I think that's more of a double-edged sword. But as everyone knows, everything is a double-edged sword. But yeah, I somehow really really doubt he's a "really cool guy."

But as everyone knows, everything is a double-edged sword. But yeah, I somehow really really doubt he's a "really cool guy." I grew up with physical abuse. My Dad loved us, but didn't know how to teach. Instead he relied on corporal punishment that almost always went way too far. Doctor visits were not out of the norm for my Brothers and myself as a result. That was a different time. However this is not a whiney, poor, pitiful me story. I got past it, I have a good and relatively happy life, and I forgave my Dad decades ago. I also loved him very much, and he had many, many good qualities as well. With that being said I think the emotional havoc that would be a certainty from living with an asshole that has no love for you at all, and wants you gone so that he can be a fun loving single "cool guy" again, would be far worse than any physical abuse I ever had to bare. I could find no sympathy for such a self involved POS.
Beefy Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 I grew up with physical abuse...... I'm really sorry, and I hope I didn't offend with the comment. Anything that goes that far is clearly just bad bad BAD. On the flipside - and without being a parent myself yet - it really seems to me that some kids really just need a good kick in the arse......
Beefy Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 i bet you did, he's a delicate snowflake. But honestly, its one of those things I joke about, because the harsh reality of the topic is just so damn difficult to face seriously.

I understood your injection of comedic prose perfectly. That dude just touched a nerve in me. I'm sure many parents have said similar things in jest, but as a serious inquiry that left me very cold. i bet you did, he's a delicate snowflake. You're on a roll today Reks!
mypasswordis Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 I haven't had the easiest childhood either, of which I have no intention of mentioning the details in public. What happens happens, it's what you do with your experiences that matters. On a lighter note:
voodoochile Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 You know you're old when... It's still almost half full, too. Or half gone; I'm undecided.
