This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: danzig138Hold on a second, I have to go try something. . .


Okay, I'm back now. I used every bit of concentration I could muster, but I just couldn't make my son's fist hit anything without actually grabbing his arm and moving it myself.

Thinking back. . . no, my folks' didn't control my arm movements when I threw down either. . .

This incident - which as a result, I hope the kids are nailed to the fucking wall - was the fault of the two punk mother fuckers who did it. Now maybe it's just me, but it seems like the people saying it's the parents' fault are the same type of people who bitch and moan when people don't take responsibility for their own actions.

Two kids assaulted someone. Regardless of their upbringing (which might have been great for all you fucking know), the final decision, and the responsibility is theirs. To lay the blame elsewhere is. . . stupid.

I see your point, but the article says the little fuckers were already troublesome students, one of them on the verge of being transfered to another school. So my point is that their parents should have done something with them a while ago, say when they began with their behavior problems?
Im not saying you're wrong, 'cause you're not, I'm just saying that in this case a little more proactive parenting would've helped to prevent the incident.

The article itself points out that students volunteer more than ever. And its corroborating evidence - that students think it's important to be "well off financially" is somewhat dubious at showing how today's youth are self-centred narcissists. It seems like dubious psychometrics for the most part.

And you know this how? My parents were proactive as hell, and I was screaming terror up until high school. I'd have still been a terror in high school, but I never went to class.

Some kids are just punks, regardless of their parentage.

Well at least some teachers are making a difference to our troubled youth, as noted in this article from The Onion: Inner-City Teacher Inspires Students To Stab Him.

Quote from: PseudoephedrineWerekoala, back when he used to post on the big purple, used to regularly post shit like he did in this thread - false statements long on rhetoric and short on research or reasoning. I had little patience for it then, and I have even less now.
Since we're dredging up cross-board history to account for current behavior, didn't you once or twice intimate that you were chronically mentally ill over on tBP?  Or am I confusing you with someone by a similar name?  It's difficult to tell with the hobbled search function over there.

!i!

Well, regardless, at least I've learned never to disagree with him. I'm sure that tickles him to no end. Now I just won't engage him in conversation anymore. Problem solved.

You're confusing me with someone else. I didn't "intimate" anything about "being mentally ill". I did however, mention quite clearly several times that I periodically take anti-depressants to deal with a chronic sleeping disorder caused by serotonin deficiency, hardly a "mental illness". How this is relevant to anything, other than as a petty attempt to smear me?

My (possible) mistake.  As to the relevance of the comment, it goes toward accounting for your abrasive and erratic posting behavior.  Which I believe is what you were attempting in dragging your history with Werekoala into the argument.
