This takes me back, right down to the CAPS, scribbles and blank envelope.

When my mom was stuck on hold for a long time she'd doodle spirals and weird shapes on the phone book. Our pink rotary phone mounted on the kitchen wall.

I heard The Smiths in Target a few years ago. Like to died.

I've heard them played a few times in Giant. I'm guessing they were added to the Muzak list or whatever they use now. Probably some satellite playlist thing.

Another thing that gets me:

Kids don't get the belt anymore, and the above note counts as a "violent threat" instead of socially acceptable consequences to misbehaviour.

"The belt" is an atrocity, and so is kneeling on corn or any other bullshit. You can give them a slap on their arm or spank their butt with your hand but shit like dA bElT is barbaric and traumatizing.

Lol pussy. Lemme guess, you're one of those who freaks the fuck out if you see a twelve year old in their own backyard unsupervised.

I don't get what this has to do with anything.
If you have a fetish for getting spanked with belts then you should probably go to a different thread, but leave the children alone.

Sounds like you should have been belted more to prevent becoming such a thin skinned sodomite.

I didn't say don't have physical punishment if your kids are looking for it. I'm saying don't be a fucking animal. A slap on the arm/face or some butt spanking with your hand is enough to get the message across. Forgive me for not supporting the idea of abusing your own child "cause that will learn 'em".

You sound like a fucking nigger.

Spoiler: Relevant quote

We consider finally the psychopathic characteristic described by the American Psychiatric Association as “inability to function as a responsible parent.” One of the most straightforward measures of this is abuse and neglect. The American Association for Protecting Children has found that black children constitute approximately 15 percent of the child population and about 22 percent of cases of child abuse and neglect. The First (1975) and Second (1985) National Family Violence Surveys carried out in America examined the use of violence towards children, defined as hitting them with the fist or with some object, and kicking, biting and beating them up. It does not include slapping or spanking. It found that 1.2 percent of white parents and 2.1 percent of blacks inflict this kind of severe violence on their children.

Data published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services for 1996 showed that maltreatment was about three times more common among blacks and about one-and-a-half times more common among Hispanics, than among whites.

The most extreme expression of the inability to function as a responsible parent consists of killing a child. Racial differences in the homicide of infants in their first year of life were examined for approximately 35 million babies born in the United States between 1983-91. This study found that 2,776 of these had been murdered, the great majority by mothers or the mothers’ husbands or partners. The rate of infant homicides for blacks and Native Americans was 2 per 10,000, compared with 0.6 per 10,000 for whites and 0.4 per 10,000 for East Asians. In the early 1990s the racial differences became even greater, with blacks having four-and-a-half times the infant homicide rate of whites and Hispanics.

"I want to touch children on the buttocks against their will"
Okay
Have a nice day
And stay away from schools and playgrounds

 

[Dr. Octagon]

Forgive me

No, your dad should have hit you harder

"I want to touch children on the buttocks against their will"

Ewwwwww! You sick fuck.

Thread Tax: I am reminded I am getting older because my tolerance for retards is much lower.
It feels good to break free of the social conditioning to always "be nice" though.

I know this is stupid, but for the first time in a long time I went to 4chan. I know that site changes a lot, but holy shit it's not as fun as it used to be. You can't even post a weird topic on /b/ of all places anymore because everything has to be about politics or porn. Granted, those were also brought up on /b/ in the past too, but at least you could still make retarded topics and they would enjoy it. Now if you try that you get ignored or shouted down. I don't get it.

Don't slap kids in the face, dumbass.
To be honest, spanking doesn't really work anyway.
It shows kids that they get to hit people for not obeying their commands which often change or don't make sense. It also shows you losing control.

It's got to be fairly horrendous behaviour to start walloping the kid. By that point go for it.
But for sure don't slap your kids face as a minor punishment, while in the same breath arguing a belt is too much.
Anything in the face is extremely invasive and is a risk of an actual bad eye injury catching the angle wrong with a fingernail or jewellery

I don't get it.

Like many other corners of the internet, 4chan is full of third worlders and zoomers now.

I meant the kind of slap that's mostly noise, same on the arm.
i don't agree with hitting children either, you're right. I was trying to offer an alternative to the animals on this thread that think Ye Olde Belt is peak parenting. I now see it came across as me agreeing with any physical punishment, which I honestly don't.
Kids should be raised to respect their parents, not fear them.

reading this thread made my knees ache, and now i've forgotten what i came in the room for.

i was putting up decorations with a young man earlier this week, and i told him my favorite christmas joke.
me: "did you know that james dean didn't believe in santa claus?"
him: "who's james dean?"
me:

i had to explain to him why the punchline "he was a rebel without a claus" was amusing. then go take a nap.

There are sometimes things like that make me think I'm old but then there are others that it just makes me think people these days are completely culturally illiterate.

There are young people entering high school around now who cannot really recall a world before "identity politics" became mainstream.

My nephew loves Transformers, but I don't even recognize any of the ones he likes. At least he can send me a picture so I know what to look for when I shop for him.

Canadian guy I know who is a personal trainer, he tagged me on Instagram in a 'staying fit as an older athlete' post. lol.

I mean he's right, but damn I had to step back when I processed that.
