With Alec Baldwin's latest travails, the world wonders, "What's so wrong about name-calling, stupid?"
  • Huh?

    OK, we're experiencing some sort of weird pop psychology/political correctness backlash here but please, are we really really hankering after the good old days when parents felt free to treat their kids with less respect than they would treat any other being on the planet? Oh, and I wonder why a whole generation decided that they didn't want to do to their kids what had been done to them? Because it had worked to incredibly well for them?

    Well, I suppose that if you really think things were better back in the good old days, feel free to insult your children, hold your heads up high with the satisfaction of a nice cutting verbal left hook. Just please stay away from my kid. Thanks.

    PS: By the way, the nasty little s**ts who bully my polite kid at school are generally the ones who have rude disrespectful parents. Life's really not that complicated in the end.
