Natural Selection

I’m sure my wife is going to love that I share my twisted viewpoints on this, but here we go.

Why are there so many recalls on toys, cribs, food etc…?

Because this country is against personal responsibility (full post on this topic coming soon) and getting lawsuit happy over the dumbest things.

When I was a child, I slept with bumpers in my crib. Somehow recently, that has become a horrific idea. Why? Suffocation. Great, am I the only one who believes in survival of the fittest?

If your kid can not figure out how to turn their head 3 degrees to take a breath of fresh air not fabric… sorry, probably wouldn’t have made it that far in life anyway.

I guess lunch meat is bad for kids now too? Give me a break, I ate that crap for every other meal, and I turned out... well nvm.

Oh you are telling me there is a Chicken Pox vaccine??? Tell me more sir. Oh

 that’s wonderful, you pump kids with all sorts of shit, and they still get chicken pox, but it’s not as bad? That deff. sounds like something that makes sense. I forgot that one week of itchiness is just out of the question. Stupid.

If we recalled every toy that a kid got hurt on, there would be no more toys. How about instead of getting angry and suing the toy manufacturer, you don’t leave the room while little Johnny is climbing on the fake chair that only holds 3 pounds and trying to hold on to the fake kitchen set that is in no way fastened to the wall. Stupid.

Lets teach a child that is getting bullied to cry about it and have their mother call the school and complain and blah blah blah. Really? How about we teach our kids that whole thing we learned about. How did it? go,“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will make me need therapy?” 

How about we tell our kids that words, though they may be hurtful, only have power if you let them. If someone is bullying you, chances are they are getting it worse at home. Ignore it, and be proud of who you are. But do we do this, no because this country is full of a bunch of pussies. There will always be bullying in life, it doesn’t go away. There will be some in the work place, on the subway, in Subway, and even at church. How about we build our kids self-esteem and make them strong individuals who can be above it all, instead of coddling them and saying “There, there Jimmy, it will be ok.” NO IT WONT.

Man up kids. No, violence is not always the answer, but I am sorry. If my kid comes home and complains that some kid knocks his books out of his hands every day, I am going to tell him to do the obvious thing.

“Son, next time he does it, you need to laugh like you thought it was funny, and then pull out that prison 

shank that daddy showed you how to make, and stab him in the jugular.”

Just seriously parents, do your kids a favor and teach them about reality, not the fake sense of comfort that comes with a phone call and a formal letter.

Another thing, spanking is not beating your child. Jesus. Do you wonder why kids are growing up with no respect for authority? It is because you had a family soul staring session to solve your problems instead of putting the fear of god in them one hand at a time. Obviously, there are limits to this but ask your grandparents what happened the first time they called their mom a name.

I understand times change, and you have to adapt along with society, but it is getting ridiculous. Lets take it down a notch and go back to reality, that is all I am asking.

Forever in favor of not babying our babies young or old,
