What about parents who indoctrinate their children with religious propaganda? To me, there’s no difference between psychologically abusing your child and raising them to be a strict muslim, christian, jew, etc. The worst is when people ask kids what their religion is… How can you expect someone with such a nascent worldview to have any meaningful opinion about religion? It would be like asking a 4 year old if they’re a democrat or a republican.

Hopefully people will someday see religious indoctrination of children for what it really is… Child abuse.

@ streetbummers: Another common variety of inductive reasoning is concerned with establishing the presence of causal relationships among events.

Causal dad = the guy who knocked up one’s mother. Sorry, YOUR mother.

Word® still thinks that shit is spelled rite, nga.

I agree wit cha BN. There was a thread on an online Parenting group how it’s probably better for a girl to stay with her parents after they had her clit removed than to put her into the system and screw her up for life.

Why you gotta reduce our lives in this crazy world to an unending cycle of need-fulfilling, hagh? People have emotional needs and drives that aren’t entirely grounded in a biologically oriented, necessity based framework for living life — but does that invalidate them outright? Maybe it makes them retarded, but we all know %690 of people base almost all their decisions not on rational consideration of pluses vs. minuses but on whimsical, unpredictable emotional flights of fancy. Moreover, our krazy kapitalist kulture orients EVERYTHING toward promoting that attitude — “I have a weird emotional need to assert my sense of identity and individuality (which shit like the media instilled in me at least to some degree), which I’ll interpret through the lens of buying things that represent to others that unique personality.” Isn’t everybody guilty of Balloon Dadaism to some extent, only this guy had the balls to really put his shit out on a limb and get famous from it?

CMON Let the dreamers dream MAN!! If he didn’t pull this once-in-a-lifetime movie moment move he’d still be some asshole nobody’s ever heard of in some gay state and would most likely die that way. Now he got to touch the lives of millions of people worldwide, all without hurting or entrancing anybody, he rules and anybody who hates him probably just still has an excruciating boner over Jon Benet and/or this guy’s kid.

Re: CAUSAL DADS

We all know you’re a Jew but it’s really worth the extra bucks to shell out for Microsoft Word and its quality spell-check software. It is high time to kick ClarisWorks to the curb.

Casual dads won’t fuck you up! Harrharaha

Mine was “the stranger that lived in our house”.

I have daddy issues. That’s why songs like Grizzly Bears: “He Ignored Me and It Felt Like a Kiss” really resonate.

Your writing a couple years ago was not nearly this good. You’ve come into your own, and I have to give you credit. You can still be a whiny cock, but I’m proud of you.
