Just for Fun

[Mr.B]

Argue till the cows come home....I have no scars from being disciplined, I've gotten more scars picking blackberries than I got from switchings... and I'm proud that my raising taught me how to function in society with others, respect their property, don't take what's not mine, say yes ma'am and yes sir (kids today say "huh?"), speak when spoken to, and don't interrupt someone when they're talking.

Just thinking about an incident not long ago in Belks......I was talking with a sales clerk when a supervisor(?) walked up and asked her a question in the middle of our conversation. The lady I was speaking with stopped talking to me to speak to him; whereupon I turned to him and said "Excuse me...am I interrupting you?" I would've loved to had my smartyphone at that moment.

Seriously, though, you see that all the time...someone will come up and interrupt every time.

I'm happy that you were reared well. But I'm not convinced that the assaults you were subjected to were the reason you turned out so well. I'm thinking maybe you turned out well in spite of them. Point being, despite the fact that many kids survive and thrive despite poor child-rearing practices, the evidence is that violence begats violence. So - are you going to tell me at what point "violence" begins (if not with the use of weapons), or not?

[Mr.B]

I'm happy that you were reared well. But I'm not convinced that the assaults you were subjected to were the reason you turned out so well.
They weren't assaults and yes, because of my discipline, I turned out very well; we all did. There's only four of the 14 kids my grandparents had of their own that are still living; but when they died, they were well off and well balanced and had good jobs and families.

Point being, despite the fact that many kids survive and thrive despite poor child-rearing practices, the evidence is that violence begats violence.
Just as being raised in a Christian home begats Christian families? Or that because one's parents were good money managers, the kids will be the same? That and a dime will get you one of those grouper meals. Goodness or violence in a home does not determine how the kids turn out; again that is one of those "scientific fallacies".


So - are you going to tell me at what point "violence" begins (if not with the use of weapons), or not?
Of course I can't tell you that; nor can you tell me. A home is what it's made to be. Children tend to have more respect for their parents who discipline them rather than parents who ignore them...and it don't take no college "gradjeated" idiot to tell you that.

Just out of curiousity....do you have kids? If you do, how are/were they disciplined? How did you determine the correct way to discipline them?

[O Really]

Euphemism - "a mild or pleasant word or phrase that is used instead of one that is unpleasant or offensive" - Merriam Webster.

"harvest" the deer.
Go the "the boys' room"
"Downsize" or worst still, "rightsize"
"put to sleep"
"negative patient outcome"
"final solution"

So sure, insist on substituting "discipline" as the term no matter what the exact action. Call anything a parent does "discipline" ranging from "don't do that anymore" to missing dinner to yelling, to tying up, to hitting with objects to ... whatever.

And no, there is no 100% one-to-one relationship on being hit as a child vs. hitting as an adult. But everything that happens to a person has some effect and elicits some reaction. You might want to read your comment, however - in one paragraph you're saying your family members turned out well and are attributing that in part to ummm, "discipline." While the next paragraph, you're casting doubt that how one is reared has much effect. I would suggest that how one turns out as an adult is dependent on the sum total of childhood and adult experience and is rarely controlled by only one factor. Certainly there are traumatic events that can affect one for the rest of his/her life.

But sure, I can offer a line at which "violence" begins. Start with use of any object - belt, stick, etc. Any closed hand. Any hit to any place other than the butt. Any hit that leaves a bruise. Any abusive language. Let's look at the legal definition of "battery." Although the statutes defining battery will vary by jurisdiction, a typical definition for battery is the intentional offensive or harmful touching of another person without their consent. Under this general definition, a battery offense requires all of the following:

1. intentional touching;
2. the touching must be harmful or offensive;
3. no consent from the victim.

So let's see. 1- grab the kid and hit him; 2. hit him with a belt; 3. seriously?

So explain again why hitting a kid with a belt isn't battery just because you use the euphemistic "discipline"?

Neither me, nor my son, nor my step-daughter were ever hit by a parent. If someone else had attempted to hit them, I would have kicked their ass and then sued them. Part of that "violence begats violence" bit, I guess.

You obviously have not seen my wife. A few more years, but mostly same body

[Mr.B]

You're really trying to turn me into a smart-ass, ain't you...?

Rex was walking down the street when he ran into an old friend he hadn't seen in years, and his old friend was completely bald!
Running his hand over his friend's head, Rex said "Goll-ee John...that feels just like my wife's buttock!"
John ran his hand over his head and replied "Why, it sure does, don't it?"

[O Really]

Yeah, well you could only hope to run your hand over my wife's firm and well-toned butt. Well over the half-century mark and she thought she'd ride the Mt. Mitchell Challenge except we'd have to come home from Florida for her to do it. Not that she'd be all that competitive at her age, but that's the condition and attitude she's got. O Really isn't missing anything.

[Mr.B]

Yeah, well you could only hope....."

That wasn't what I had in mind; the joke was just a primer!
You said "You obviously have not seen my wife. A few more years, but mostly same body", to which my first response would have been
"I know!"

One thing that O Really will never experience again.....

Pffft, O Really can put on that lingerie any time he wants.

Just hope he doesn't post any photos!

[Mr.B]

My photo's better than your photos.

Australia has "redneckiness" too! The commentary is hilarious!

Topless Lady(?) Trolls Google Maps Car Passing By Her House
by Phil Haney

A well-endowed Australian woman named Karen Davis always wanted to whip out her milk shakes and get them featured on Google Maps, a service she uses all the time. She had her chance at Internet immortality when she spotted one of the infamous Google Street View Cars making its way through her neighborhood in Port Pirie with its cameras capturing everything in its path.


These are not the boobies you are looking for.

Karen was super excited when her massive melons were displayed on Google Maps for everyone to see, completely uncensored. She says “I got to tick something else off my bucket list."

On some peoples bucket list, they want to go sky diving, others want to climb a mountain, Karen just wants her gargantuan flap jacks on display every time someone Googles her street address. We all have dreams.

She told a local newspaper, "I look at Google Maps a lot and I wanted to be on there and I thought this is the way to do it. I also did it for a friend in the United Kingdom. Now he can see me all the time."

I guess texting him a topless selfie was a lot more work than chasing down the Google Car with your mammary glands flopping around. The best part of all of this was that when Google tried to censor her large cans, it totally missed with the censor smudge appear right next to her still exposed fun bags.


Weird that her nipples look like the Break logo.

Apparently not everyone in Australia thought she had the best set of knockers to represent her countrymen and women on Google Maps. She took to Facebook to lay the smackdown on the haters; "Haters hate, you got the guts to do it? All the flat-tittie chicks think I am disgusting. Big-boob envy has hit Port Pirie."

Thankfully Google finally got it right:

A wise man once said “They hate us ‘cause they ain’t us.”

While the Google Street Car is known for accidently capturing some lurid moments as Google aims to photograph the entire surface of the Earth in a secret plan to control the fate of humanity, my favorite moments are the ones with people purposely trolling. There was the guy who quickly orchestrated a fake murder, but Karen’s stunt is really tops – or topless I should say.

[Mr.B]

My photo's better than your photos.

In other words, liberals like O Really live in a better world than rednecks like you?

Judging from your choice of photos to post, you can also include yourself as "rednecks like you"...
were those photos taken from a scrapbook that depicted one of your family outings? Real "touching" moments there, huh?...

Let's translate this so you can understand it... "My photo is better than your photos."

Is she single?

[Mr.B]

"Is she single?"

Look what's inside the fence and decide for yourself...she's got 'im where he can't escape.

[Mr.B]

Hard to tell whether that's her house. That could even be an adult woman holding a baby on the stoop.

I zoomed in to 300%...appears to be a boy with one hand over the other......he's keeping his hands to himself.
