Yep.

But to be fair it happened in a school. Were it on the street he would probably have shot her.
Kinda miss the water cannons of your time, eh?
I never got water cannoned. I did get tear gassed.

Also because your parents failed to teach you how to solve your problems without resorting to violence like an animal, you put another kid in the hospital.

And you're proud of that?


I would be. In some cases there are people who don't give you the option to settle something a different way. These are the kind of people I was talking about, the ones who have to get their *** kicked inside out and be put in their god damn place.

There are people where violence is all *they* know, so you have to speak their language. Catching them with a punch or two isn't going make them stop. You have to break them down into the ground, humiliate them, and make them realize they will never be able to solve all their problems with violence because eventually someone will beat the ***out of THEM.

I'm not saying go around beating the ***out of randos just in case they might want to pick a fight. I am not saying pre-emptively beat the tar out of your kid. I am saying that when people have already devolved to this point where they are acting like animals, they only thing you can do to get through to them is to be the bigger, stronger animal.

I'm sorry, but my parents didn't hit me just because, or for minor issues.

I'm not saying that there weren't or aren't parents who do that. My parents only used spankings as a last resort, or as punishment for a very serious offence. I didn't get hit every single time I broke a window or got a bad grade or didn't do homework, I got hit for sending a kid to the hospital (the only one I really remember).

But thanks for calling my parents animals, also bad parents. I really appreciate those personal insults.

Josiahkf said: »
Just because you believe there is a connection, doesn't mean there is one. I could easily just claim the same; There was a shitload of fighting constantly in schools when I was growing up because we were all taught by our parents that violence solves problems.
Fine, you can make that assertion. There is a real lack of knowing which is right, of course.

Then again, kids will always be kids. If you spank them, they will either A) stop or B) keep doing it. If you don't spank them and punish them a different way, they will either A) stop or B) keep doing it. How the parent should punish them is up to the parent, not what is "public belief" to do.

Is it bad that I prefer the person which gets shot is white so we don't have to watch people going apeshit rioting?
It's bad to want somebody get shot in the first place. Regardless what skin color they have.

It takes a lot of violence to hospitalize someone.

I dunno about THAT. Maybe the other kid wasn't getting enough calcium.

I mean I have been hospitalized because I had a poop that was too big for me to handle. It doesn't always take THAT much violence.

I don't care even if you fathered 200 children. If you beat them you're not disciplining them, you're abusing them.

what are you talking about? I said that you acted like an animal by putting another kid in the hospital; It takes a lot of violence to hospitalize someone.
Not when you are a 5'10" and weigh ~200 lbs fighting somebody half your weight and a foot shorter than you.

Besides, if I was an animal (you just keep those personal insults coming!), I wouldn't remember that particular fight or how it effected me. You honestly think that I don't regret using violence on that kid that day? I have never forgotten that fight, and I wouldn't have even if my parents punished me differently than they did. But you know what? I'm me. I'm not like the rest of the world, so I'm effected differently than anyone else. To you, you may feel differently if you were in my shoes that day.

I never said your parents acted like animals and used violence in a frenzy to hospitalize people or insulted their behavior etc
The way you structured your sentence, you did. You may not have intended, but that's not how I saw it.

In "Close to Home" news:

At least 2 dead, shooting scene still active at Lackland Air Force Base, Sheriff's Office says

Quote:
SAN ANTONIO — Bexar County Sheriff's Office deputies are responding to reports of an active shooter at Lackland Air Force Base Friday morning where at least two victims have been confirmed.
Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said in a phone interview it is not known if there is one or more shooters at the base, but said she had deputies on the scene.
The Sheriff's Office tweeted around 9:20 a.m. "we have victims at Lackland Air Force Base, scene still active."
Several law enforcement agencies are at the base, which is on lockdown and in southwestern Bexar County.
An email sent to mySA.com from a nearby resident said two siren announcements went off at around 8:45 a.m. warning that an active shooter was present near Building 134 on the base.
Calls to base officials were not immediately returned.

Situation still active, more to come.

All these non parents talking about not spanking your kids haha. I have 4 children who got spanked when they were young, ***my dad was no stranger to the belt when we were kids. I will admit there is a difference between spanking your kid and beating the ***out of them but I am a firm believer in a good *** spanking if kids do wrong.

If you genuinely felt in control of your actions at the time, and hospitalizing the other kid was just a random accident than I apologize KN. My saying it sounded like you behaved like an animal wasn't meaning you still act like that or anything.

Your original post did not convey that at all. it conveyed completely zero self control.

(I beat the ***out of a kid who was messing with my sister, broke both of his arms and a couple of ribs. Kid had to be rushed to the hospital
Wouldn't just remembering that have shown something? I mean, I'm not proud of it. I used that as an example of how extreme the crime fit the punishment. I even showed how sorry I felt about it:

But imagine if your parents had just taught you that violence can not solve your problems before that point.
They probably did. I didn't listen to them, like, oh I don't know, every other kid at that age. Remember that magical time in your life where you think you know everything, and your parents are just trying to make your life a living hell? This was before that one point in your life where you stop, take a look, and realize that they are right. This event was that point in my life.

Josiahkf said: »
Or imagine you had killed that kid.
Don't you think I don't know that? Hell, on occasion I still get dreams about what could have happened.

Josiahkf said: »
there is potential for millions of kids to know before that age that violence cannot solve their problems and avoid all of that pain both you and the other kid had to go through entirely.
You obviously forgot your childhood. Or you were very sheltered.

you assume a great deal about my childhood just because I mentioned the potential for avoiding hospitalization.
I'm using your words as an example.

Do you not remember a time in your life while you were a kid when you thought you knew more than your parents?

Would you ever vote for bernie sanders? Or worth avoiding etc to you?
you've probably seen his political career a hell of a lot more than any of us
I would far prefer Bernie to Hillary. For me its Bernie >>> Hillary >>>>> any Republican.

As to Bernie's career, I haven't followed it closely. I did cheer when he first ran, and got elected, as a socialist. His time as mayor of Burlington is more telling of how he is as an executive than his time in DC.

Why am I not surprised?

Then again, you would vote for a turnip over any Republican. Well, considering the Republican candidates, I would vote for the turnip too.

But I would still vote for any Republican over Clinton or Sanders. They could promise to wage war on the rest of the world for all I care, they still would be a better choice than any democrat.

Asking me a broad question like that is meaningless because I can't confirm or deny the theory you're posing about your example of your youth.
I guess you are just going to have to trust me if I'm telling the truth or not.

Then again, have I shown to lie on this website?

Also, lockdown over.

One of the 2 casualties seemed to be the shooter himself.

Quote:
The identities of the victims have not been released, but according to "initial internal Pentagon communications obtained by the Air Force Times, the commanding officer of the 341st K-9 Training Squadron at the base was shot by an airman."

Source

This seems to be a Private Pyle situation.
