"Dear Parents Whose Adult Children Don't Talk To Them - It's Always Your Fault"
"You were the adult when they were a child. If their first instinct, as soon as they get out from under your thumb, is to completely ignore you forever, you need to own the fact that you messed up as a parent at several, consistent, points along the road throughout your child's upbringing. They hate you for a good reason, and they're probably better off without you in their lives.
There are a number of forms of abuse that range from over-parenting, to neglect, over-discipline to straight up negative enabling behavior.
I have friends who don't talk to their parents because the strictness was so suffocating, and friends who don't talk to their parents because they were lazy bums who never took an interest in their child's life. There are tons of other reasons kids abandon relationships with their folks, but the one thing that stays true through all of these experiences for me is that it's always the parents fault.
This is mostly about relationships that end as soon as the kid leaves the house, not necessarily relationships that break down during adulthood, although the same reasoning could be applied in a lot of these cases too."
"I'm Not Telling My Kids To Never Hit Girls"
"Got a call from the school saying my son punched a girl in his class. I was mad and ready to ground him when he got home when it occurred to me that I should ask why he hit her. The principal told me that the little girl pushed him and took his lunch money and continued to take her folder and smack him with it when he got fed up and punched her in the shoulder. Now, if they knew that the little girl had done all this and was continuing to do it, they should have intervened. They didn't so my son defended himself. Not in trouble.
When I told the principal that it seemed justified, she told me that I shouldn't make it seem okay to hit little girls. I let her know that my children know that it's not okay to hit anybody. But that it's also not okay to stand there and just be hit either. It's totally okay to defend yourself against anybody and everybody that is attacking you."
People should be encouraged to bash Jada more. Well done. LOL
Also, I'm a US citizen and I agree with #15 and #35. F@*$! American exceptionalism. Our opinion of "ourselves" is laughable most times. We need to take it down a notch or two.
#36 yep, im always like what the hell im gonna get...?
#8 and deny the kid the trophy he is ENTITLED to??
#13 in general, it is not up to each of us to punish people for what they do wrong. Any civilized country has courts and prison systems for that. If you don't want to support someone in their work for how they behave outside work that is up to you, but don't judge people that think otherwise. Like the rising cancel culture. What kind of f@#knuggets thinks it's OK to have someone fired for being themselves outside work? Gina Carano is a good example. Should that apply to everyone? If you neglect your children, does that mean you should be fired from working as a librarian? I've seen stories about the mob trying to get holywood stars fired because "they are @$$hoels in real life and won't let fans take pictures when seen in restaurants" or whatever. W. T. F!!??
#20 quit whining. Not that many generations ago most people had to work all day every day to put food on the table. And you're free to work less, but don't expect to live in a downtown apartment sipping latte at the local cafe all day.
#24 kind of overlaps #13. Yes, he acts like a teenager with no impulse control some times, but look at what he has actually accomplished. EVs would not have been where it is today if it wasn't for Elon and Tesla. I 100% guarantee it. And Spaxe-X too. We're all gonna reap the benefits of that later on.
#15 When I have been in foreign countries, the USA is never in the news. I think Americans think everyone else in the world cares about them, but they don’t.
Agree with most, except #10, #15. And #32 only because I don’t care about their personal lives and haven’t seen anyone laughing at Will Smith. What would they even be laughing at?
Oh, and whoever doesn’t want to know anything about other countries can definitely control the media they watch and stay in their little cushy bubble, so that’s idiotic.
Don't teach that Wikipedia is an unreliable source. Just teach how to use Wikipedia properly and all will be good
