Kids

Oh, they’re so horrible!

I’ve gotten a response or two (or nine) in the ol’ askbox about my post wherein I called that overbearing white-trash asshole what he was—i.e., an overbearing white-trash asshole.

Most of them center around how awful kids are. How ungrateful they are, how they’re all giant dicks.

Yeah, maybe. You know, I raised a kid all the way to 18 and didn’t kill him or nothing. From my experience I can say that, yes, at times they’re ungrateful. They CAN be dicks. Teenagers are pathologically self-absorbed and completely illogical. They’re wrapped up in their own shit.

Does this make them bad people? No. It makes them teenagers. And, oh, hey, aren’t these your kids? Don’t you “love” them?

The fact that this guy brought out a loaded gun to make a point to his FIFTEEN YEAR OLD daughter makes him a massive dick. An abuser, if you ask me. Think of the threat underlying what he did.

I had a teenager. I didn’t exactly like him either at times, but, jesus, he was still my kid and I loved him.

If you think what this man did as a “lesson” for his daughter was ok, then you’re the reason the Republican party exists.

Sleep well in your blankets of asshole.
