Q : Why can't I have a Go Kart, I see those other teenagers with a Go Kart and ATVs.

A : The Go Karts, and the ATVs are illegal, those teenagers are breaking the law, they also drink alcohol, and use tobacco, which is also illegal for them to do...
And they have parents who don't care about them.
Their parents also didn't provide them with the Go Karts and the ATVs.... the teenagers themselves did, by selling illegal drugs, or by working under the table, for a criminal employer who hires kids without working papers.
Those teenagers also don't attend school, and they're most likely dropouts.

That's why they have Go Karts and ATVs...
And you know what ? when they're 45 years old, they wont have a whole lot better than what they have now.
Trust me on that.


Q : Why can't I go to work ?

A : Because there are child labor laws, and those child labor laws are there for a reason.
If you want population of idiots... just allow children to go to work, and you'll have a population of idiots.
Your job right now is to go to school, so that you wont grow up to be an idiot.


Q : Why Can't I watch the Simpsons, and Family Guy and Futurama, and Pornos, and watch MMA and the WWE, and rated R movies, and play video games that are rated M for Mature or A for Adults.. or listen to music with a parental advisory label or have a pit bull, and a BB gun and a knife.... when other kids do.

A : Because those other kids have idiots for parents who don't care about them, you don't.
Those other kids will get into trouble and eventually so will their parents.
YOU have a mother and a father who loves you.

Q : Why can't I wear silver colored jeans, Jordan sneakers and a multi logo baseball cap, when I see the other kids with it.

A : Because those other kids adhere to an entirely different culture than ours... and they're not us, if you can tell.

And the truth of the matter is, is that they are the ones who are wearing cheap junk and NOT designer clothes.
Your clothing and our clothing is much higher quality, and is internationally famous, and we are more fashionable.
They wear rags, we wear clothes.

Their clothing is more reflective of being in prison and wearing loose prison garb, handed down to them by their parents.

Those Jordans cost them about $120, your mother's pumps are about $1,000 and my sneakers are $300, my shoes are also about $500


Q : Why cant I go to Mc Donalds, all the other kids do.

A : Have you noticed ? They're already obese.
And when they're in their 30s and 40s, they'll have diabetes, heart problems and their bodies wont function right.
You're strong.
They're fat.
That's the difference.
 
Q : Why can't I have a Go Kart, I see those other teenagers with a Go Kart and ATVs.
Because we can't afford it. Oil the chain on your bike.

Q : Why can't I go to work ?
Go do your chores. Get busy.

Q : Why Can't I watch the Simpsons, and Family Guy and Futurama, and Pornos, and watch MMA and the WWE, and rated R movies, and play video games that are rated M for Mature or A for Adults.. or listen to music with a parental advisory label or have a pit bull, and a BB gun and a knife.... when other kids do.
Because this is not a Democracy...........you live under the rules of this house. they are inappropriate......and you still haven't done your homework.

Q : Why can't I wear silver colored jeans, Jordan sneakers and a multi logo baseball cap, when I see the other kids with it.
Because I say so.

Q : Why cant I go to Mc Donalds, all the other kids do.
Who's been feeding you this junk. Sure. let me put my shoes on. Let's go.

your first answer is false..
The rest doesn't teach anything, except for the chores bit.

Agreed. My answer was always "Because I say so."

My house was definitely not a democracy.

Because I said so, is how you create an idiot, a sheep, or a rebellious, defiant kid with behavior problems.
You're talking to a person, not a toy or a monkey.

A : Because those other kids have idiots for parents who don't care about them, you don't.
Those other kids will get into trouble and eventually so will their parents.
YOU have a mother and a father who loves you.

When I was a child, most boys carried a pocketknife. Since some time when my age was still in a single-digit range, I have very rarely left home without having at least one knife with me. I've always considered it an important and indispensable tool, and rarely does a day go by without my having several occasions on which to use it to perform some useful and necessary task or another.

How, as a society, did we become so pussified that there is any question, now, about a boy being allowed to carry a pocketknife?

BB guns were not that uncommon either, back then, though not as common or necessary as a knife.
 
Q : Why can't I have a Go Kart, I see those other teenagers with a Go Kart and ATVs.

A : The Go Karts, and the ATVs are illegal, those teenagers are breaking the law, they also drink alcohol, and use tobacco, which is also illegal for them to do...
And they have parents who don't care about them.
Their parents also didn't provide them with the Go Karts and the ATVs.... the teenagers themselves did, by selling illegal drugs, or by working under the table, for a criminal employer who hires kids without working papers.
Those teenagers also don't attend school, and they're most likely dropouts.

That's why they have Go Karts and ATVs...
And you know what ? when they're 45 years old, they wont have a whole lot better than what they have now.
Trust me on that.


Q : Why can't I go to work ?

A : Because there are child labor laws, and those child labor laws are there for a reason.

A : Because those other kids have idiots for parents who don't care about them, you don't.
Those other kids will get into trouble and eventually so will their parents.
YOU have a mother and a father who loves you.

Q : Why can't I wear silver colored jeans, Jordan sneakers and a multi logo baseball cap, when I see the other kids with it.

A : Because those other kids adhere to an entirely different culture than ours... and they're not us, if you can tell.

And the truth of the matter is, is that they are the ones who are wearing cheap junk and NOT designer clothes.
Your clothing and our clothing is much higher quality, and is internationally famous, and we are more fashionable.
They wear rags, we wear clothes.

Their clothing is more reflective of being in prison and wearing loose prison garb, handed down to them by their parents.

Those Jordans cost them about $120, your mother's pumps are about $1,000 and my sneakers are $300, my shoes are also about $500


Q : Why cant I go to Mc Donalds, all the other kids do.

A : Have you noticed ? They're already obese.
And when they're in their 30s and 40s, they'll have diabetes, heart problems and their bodies wont function right.
You're strong.
They're fat.
That's the difference.
In most states it is not illegal for a minor to operate a Go-Kart or an ATV. It is illegal to operate Go-Karts and ATV's on road but it is not illegal for teen-agers to ride them.

we live in the suburbs, which is an urban law environment, and a metropolitan statistical area.
things here, are with the same exact reasoning behind it, as is the case in the inner city because we live the same general lifestyle, in most ways.

You're talking to a person, not a toy or a monkey.

I'm was talking to a child, who was the sole responsibility of us as his parents until he reached the age of maturity. It was our job to turn him into a human being. Until then, he had no rights other than such as we from time to time granted him.

He's currently a PHD with two books under his belt, and a third coming. He is financially sound and well-invested. His primary behavior problem is that he, like his father, does not suffer fools, and expresses it freely and impolitely.

The idea that the kid has no rights is false, entirely.
The kid is protected under the same constitution as you are and in fact the kid has more rights in many ways, that you do.

And people are born human beings, and your kid... unlike mine, didn't have access to information all around him.

Your kid is in his 40s it sounds like... mine is 9.
That's three generations possible difference.

And that's even if what you claim is true.

He thought so too, but alas ... :laugh:

The kid is protected under the same constitution as you are and in fact the kid has more rights in many ways, that you do.

He brought that up one evening. We told him fine, that if he wanted The State to make certain decisions with which we disagreed for him, we could arrange to have the State make all the decisions for him. It was the end of the amusing "negotiation".

And people are born human beings

A matter of opinion. A glob of gibbering protoplasm is not a finished product.

, and your kid... unlike mine, didn't have access to information all around him.

He had access to all information that was age appropriate. We did not hide the world from him in any way.

Your kid is in his 40s it sounds like

He's 28.

an infant isn't a glob of "gibbering protoplasm" but the very beginning of everything that I am in its entirety, and with full viability.
