RANT: Google Maps said turn left?

when I realized I was too pretty for jail

we'll be the judge of that nurse

I have 2 brothers and a sister great people. They touch my kid they'll get one punch to the face.

Yeah, not like this at all with me and my sis.

Reminds me, btw, speaking of how violent upbringings can affect your view of violence. When I was 5, my sister took me to the elementary school playground to play while she was doing laps around the soccer field (she was an athlete). She was 14 at this time. Some 12-13 year old kid came over and started making fun of the way I spoke (lisp, speech impediment, fun childhood) and pushed me down in the sandbox. My sister saw it, cut across the soccer field, launched over a fence, came up to the kid who had all of 0.5 seconds to say "Haha, wha-" and she ****ing laid him out with one punch. Kid was crying, bloody nose, laid out backwards, the whole 9. She made him apologize to me and then took me home so she could put ice on her hand. She went on to win Miss Teen Sacramento a year later and was an Oakland Raiderette for a while, nobody that knows her would believe this story if I told them. edit: also got accepted to the dallas cowboys cheerleader show but had to drop out because she found out she was preggo with my niece.

Flol, thanks for reminding me of this.

Yeah, maybe not much higher than the average. But these are role models, people "in the spotlight" and as such they have even more responsibility to act like upstanding citizens.

I pity who hold other people responsible for influencing their children. JK kind of, but I don't find private entertainment to somehow cross over into public responsibility.

2) Of course you didn't view at as weird/abusive. You're talking about the man who you're biologically conditioned as seeing your defender and nurturer. It's cognitive dissonance.

All these "back in the day/but my parents/call me old fashioned but" blah blah blah stories are just mental gymnastics of a person defending their parents in relation to these people who are appropriately portrayed as horrible on the news for doing the same things. Or at the very least, having the same philosophy on punishing their children..

These are pretty consistent statements. From a sociological perspective, it becomes understandable how this thing perpetuates in time.

Nope. Wrong either way. I'd say it's worse if it's done in a calm and calculating manner. That's some cult levels of abuse.

They put impression upon the kid differently. One's more emotional conditioning, and the other shapes how they intuitively process things as they get older..

[PapaBurgandy]

I think corporal punishment is ineffective, counterproductive, frequently harmful, and generally a chickensh*t way of enforcing discipline on young children, and to me it's best left on the scrapheap of "the way it's always been" like Jim Crow laws or bloodletting to balance your humors.

But debating pros and cons of corporal punishment obscures the issue of what AP did; the injuries he inflicted on that kid are straight-up child abuse and anyone defending that level of punishment seriously needs therapy.



Not to mention that Mike Ditka bloviated on the air about how hid dad beating the crap out of him as a kid made him the man he is today, and since Ditka is a stupid, hateful jackass, terrible analyst, and terrible coach, it's pretty safe to say that anything Ditka supports is wrong.

He was a fine TE, though.

Bloviated. Thanks Darinaldi, i learned something new today.

Getcha knile davis' ready

not even remotely sure how much I should bid.

[im2manly]

I am bidding everything I have.

[Farley1324]

not even remotely sure how much I should bid.

I don't have any idea what I'm bidding yet on anybody in any leagues (srs). I'll probably be ****ing around with it all over the place in all my leagues through late tomorrow.

But I promise that in any active league, after the injuries so far this season and the way Kniles played, plus the nature of a high ankle sprain on on a dynamic player like Charles...Kniles is going to cost a pretty penny

[chazzy1864]

$3. I don't think anyone will want him at all.

[PapaBurgandy]

"Had" being the operative word. I took your dibs while you were busy putting on that Batman mask.

He's going to be expensive, yes. I'm almost thinking, for long term success, I might take the hit next week and not spend most of my waiver budget on him. So I can make adjustments down the road.

$5.

Very funny guys. Tell you what, if you guys get him you can trade him to me.

I'm bidding Manly and Frep's unborn children.

So you're not okay with a guy who beats his child, but you're okay with human trafficking. Seems legit.

Good thing Jaquizz Rodgers is still available, I guess.

I was considering a bid of $350 with absolutely no legitimate expectation of winning, but just in case...and because 350

I once again already have the smallest budget in the league though lol

Just saying.

I don't believe you

Let me clarify: That's a lot to spend on a guy who definitely is not a full season contender. Charles could be back in 4 weeks. Maybe less.

No worse than last year having Julio Jones injured as a 2.07. How did I ever relieve that? Oh that's right, decided to grab Alshon Jeffery and Keenan Allen. Manage the process, not the point.

[PeterGibbons316]

not even remotely sure how much I should bid.

All of it. Go big or go home. Remember, there are no points for second place.

[Orlando1234977]

... big waiver moves coming on the 17th.

If I get none of em I'm in big trouble. If I get all of em... things are looking okay.

not even remotely sure how much I should bid.

Are you striving for most improved player award or something? Somewhat impressed with the effort and dedication.

[Farley1324]

Jones made it 5-6 games of elite production though, that certainly helped. Gerhart hasn't given ****.


Remember, you're talking to the guy who lost 1.02 Doug Martin last year and 1.09 MJD the year before.
