I kind of had enough of these jackasses blaming their or other's action on violent games or violent movies. We're exposed to violence =every day=. But what about the parents? What the hell did they do while their kids were playing these games? What the hell were they doing when they bought em? When the hell did they tell them 'KILLING IS WRONG'. I bet NEVER.

Maybe games really do influence, but its the parents! My friends and I played GTA games for a long time but because of my parenting I never even pushed people or kill em!

What I'm trying to say, if you don't get it, its the PARENT'S fault, not the games. Anyone agree?

You're stating the obvious.

I'm getting kinda bored of all people blaming the parents. You are assuming everyone is the same and that if you have the "perfect" upbringing you can't tick out. The fact is though the parents can have a bad influence in the end it is the killers fault. And even they oftentimes can hardly be blamed. These things happen. You don't have to blame anyone (foremost I agree not video games, that's just ridiculous).

Why do parents get blamed if kids are bad, but rarely praised if they turn out well?

Rhetorical.

Because people like to blame folks. Cause they are evil.


D'oh.

It's OK, I wasn't really being rhetorical. I only said I was because I knew it would elicit a response from you?

Hardly even that?

You know.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child."

An oldie but a goodie.


If you watch any black comedians like Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, Martin Lawrence, etc.... you'd see that there is an under-current of acceptability to still smacking the shit out of kids when they act up too much in the black community.



And you can see how well it's worked for them.

It's stupid, you shouldn't blame the parents or the games or whatever by default...

Oversimplifications of issues like these suck

Parent are to blame for their kids sh*t, plain and simple. If you raise a kid improperly he's gonna misbehave improperly which ultimately leads to all kinds of sh*t for the child trying to become apart of this world.

Just like parents who treat their kids like brats. I feel sorry as hell for kids who end up getting it extremely easy or are not punished or at least corrected for displaying inappropriate behavior because it's ok because he's a kid or he looks cute when they do it or when some parents warmly laugh when a child swears, a hits someone, or displays adult behaviour but when the sting of reality hits these kids when they become a little older, or when they finally start school, and they find out that not everyone in the real world isn't as sweet as mommy is, then that's when they'll learn a hard lesson. A lesson that should've been taught by parents who were too soft on a child for fear of hurting the child's feeling or looking or feeling like a bad parent to themselves and others. fcuk outta here. Then kids get sad and depressed when they get overpowered or made fun off because they don't know how to defend them selves because they were never taught to stand up to them selves because they were indirectly taught they they always going to be protected by mommy and daddy no matter where you go, then display bratty attitudes that humans naturally perceive as weak like crying, anger, then that leads to shyness and anti-socialism in and out of the house and all other types of issues.

This is my policy.

- Raising a child is a huge responsibility that only mature adults with enough life experience should undertake. A man should have a kid when he's at or about 30. A woman at or about 25.

- Poor people should not have kids..

- A woman should offer the child emotional support and dad is his strength.

- A woman should raise a child and a father should train him. Both would use a combo of discipline and love. Both at reasonable levels.

And lastly eating together as a family does work and parents should replace the t.v. in a child's room with a bookcase full of significant books the child would like. Leave the idiot box in the living room.

Good interaction, not just interaction alone, is key with a kid. Be involved in it's life or suffer the child.

If you ask me it's all parents fault because their kids are completely their responsibility and alot of parents lose grasp of this idea.

Sometimes the parents screw up the kid. Sometimes the kid is just screwed up from the beginning. Sometimes he looks funny and other kids make fun of him. It's still the kid's fault when he screws up, though. End of topic.

messed up kids serve me food so I don't care who messes them up there parent or there peer just as long as they keep giving me French fries while I laugh at there pathetic existence.

I'd rather just blame the kid for being a little shitface and not knowing simple human morals. The parents aren't always to blame, sometimes the kid is just ****ed up.

I prefer my way.

He's just grumpy because the asian dick network is offline right now.

Seriously, last week I was on a semi crowded train on my way to class and this little boy on a stroller, he must've been about 5, was absolutely going berserk, crying hysterically, shrieking out the top of his lungs, continuously, over a toy he kept throwing on the floor purposefully cause he wanted another nearby child's' toy, it seemed and i sat right smack next to his parent or caretaker and after about 5 minutes of the constant madness and my ears literally ringing, I took a stand. I asked the woman if she could "please calm your kid down a bit?" and she gave me this look as if i stuck a sword in the child's heart and displayed the act for all to see. It was like that "How dare you!!" look..

It was unbelievable... And I was the bad guy for not wanting to let my ears ring painfully and for not tolerating improper behavior.

Yeah, I love when bad parents get mad at others when they call them out on their shitty parenting.

You shoulda said "SHut that kid up, or I will".

At least that way, even if she didn't stop the kid, she woulda moved to the other side of the bus in fear.

just give them the "Jesus spanked his children so should you" line.

There is a test to make sure you can drive so there should be a test to be a parent as well.

They could even make it true and false and half the parents would still fail it.

If that wasn't a joke then na. Saying that would've been as outta line as she was. And I don't stoop. Although I felt like saying that I believe that a man should be a gentleman in public, "thanks to having being told that by my mother" I blame her for that, if you will.. But all i wanted was for the kid to at least quiet down, not to really put her out there.
