why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

The legs look like those deformed peanuts that come with extra.

"woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I got the legs like challah"

You went there, I went straight to Echo & the Bunnymen's "Lips Like Sugar".

Is it just me or is this sentiment most often expressed by governmet office clerks who spend the day playing spider solitaire?

Same person has posted like three different variations on this article in the last month.

god, having Objectivist parents ought to count as child abuse

if i were those kids i'd just give up

Please don't fish my children out of the shark infested pool

ugh some people really take that shit too far. my old roommate's Dad had a lot of that in him -- threw her in the pool to teach her how to swim and then walked away. literally MADE her learn to walk because he was tired of her crawling. like, put her on her feet as an infant, and if she fell would leave her there until she figured out how to get up on her own.

it's one thing not to help kids when they're figuring things out themselves. but he was DECIDING his daughter's development, and then acting like it was her choice to drown in the fucking pool.

still makes me angry

haha phrasing makes me think you had a little zombie girl roommate

woops

she survived, lol

It’s not my job to sooth their fear and discomfort. In fact, sometimes after my daughters fall asleep ill pay a stranger to stand in the corner of their bedroom and stare at them all night long.
It’s not my job to unlock my bedroom door at 3am when my daughters are outside screaming about some strange guy in their room staring at them.If I do, I have robbed them of the opportunity to learn to calm themselves, assess their situation, and try to problem solve their own way out of it.
It’s not my job to keep them from falling. Yes, the second story window is probably their only escape. If they end up permanently paralyzed from the waist down, they will survive the disappointment. What's more, they will have a goal, avoiding the strange staring man at night while not waking up mommy, and the incentive to work to achieve it.

Eh the article didn't seem that bad

I'm pretty sure the parent is a douchebag with a chip on their shoulder ranting about a non-problem, but okay.

Both my kids were ones you had to hold back from climbing the ladder, you could convince yourself they were gonna fall off.

They never did.

that's one of the most sinister sounding parental diatribes i have ever read!

I'm pretty sure the parent is a douchebag with a chip on their shoulder ranting about a non-problem, but okay.

That statement could apply to 90% of blogs! I just thought the idea of letting your kids take a fall in the playground where it's relatively safe didn't seem so bad.

The so-called tiger mother diatribe seems heaps worse

i'm all for kids taking risks in play - important part of development - but that's not really what that piece is about

It could have been framed a whole lot differently. As it was, it dishes out a little dose of hostility toward other parents/adults and insists on creating enemies out them for her to do battle against. Why not just write about how kids need to be allowed to take risks for their healthy development?

"get the fuck away from my kids" is really all that needed to be said

i got confused by the edgy font and image and was searching for the joke for almost a minute. turns out there is none.

since when does the death penalty entail a handgun

or is that for me pistolwhip whoever wrote that maddening macro

I believe the future is our children
Teach them well, let them show the way
I Believe in the death Penalty to all Child Molesters possessed inside!

since when does the death penalty entail a handgun

Vigilantes, iirc.

(Is this the right place to point out that if child molesters get death penalty, they will definitely kill the children they molest?)

Mark, can you cite tour source? I'm not trying top enter into an argument. Its just that I've seen that repeated a few times in ilx and I'm useless at finding the original data.

How do you mean?

Sorry, I'm on a phone with shitty spellcheck.

I think I understood the sentence, I was wondering how you mean "source"..

I mean is there a study, statistic, resource?

I feel like it's important info, and I would like to be able to cite it to others.

oic.

No, purely my 'impression'..

If some paedo molests a child, and the only witness is the child, why would they let the child live if there is the threat of a death penalty?

Also, it's one thing for a child growing up scared of the perpetrator, it does not follow that the child would grow up without fear or guilt if "It's OK, that man has been killed because.."

Anyway, moving on...
