[citation][nom]boey[/nom]@ chumley - while I don't agree with beating a child, the basic premise of respecting your elders and being punished for being disrespectful is sound IMO.If I ever caught my daughter acting like that kid, you can bet your ass she'll be seriously punished.[/citation]
respect is earned not given. im 23, so you know where this thought is coming from.
when i was in school, there were 2 teachers who had my full respect, the art teacher, and the computer/history teacher, best 2 i ever had.
there were a few who had my respect as a person, but not as an educator, and some i couldn't bring my self to help even if i saw them dieing as they sucked as a teacher, as a person, and were horrible to everyone they came in contact with, where not one person could say something good about them.
one teacher, he was shop, was involved in a drive by, the person who shot at his house was out of school, but the driver just had to ware a ankle bracelet. he was in his class, and still was given fair grades... its amaseing.
now kids automatically giving an adult respect because they are an adult... hell no.
kids showing common curtacy to people, regardless, that i agree with.
[citation][nom]brothermist[/nom]See in my house growing up... if my dad found out I was acting this way to to an adult he would have driven me to this mans house and beat my ass in front of him. Thats if I was stupid enough to even dream of acting in this way to begin with. This is just another news story proving that it takes more than just having children to be a parent. While this man should have controlled himself better, the "parents" should be actively participating in raising their child as opposed to simply being spectators.[/citation]
no no no no no no no.
i treat people in real life how i treat people online when i'm anonymous
however i don't scream every obscenity i can at people, im a complete *** to them though, to me bad words are just words, i use them all the time, and you have no idea how hard it is to post comments here without saying them.
that said, dickhead was probably the lightest thing said if it was ever said, you ever play a cod game online? this kid probably went off on a 5 minute tangent of racism, bad words poorly used, and sexist terms, and he was probably grasping at straws when he told his mom "all i said was dickhead"
