Are we really doing the arguments where "HEY MAN I'M A KARATE MASTER AND I'LL SUPER KICK YOUR KNEE OFF" comes into play? Do you have any idea how hard it is to aim a blow at a specific body part? Go ahead and try it out. Let us know how it feels to get your head bashed in as you're trying to land the perfect blow to dislocate someone's knee, especially on someone who outweighs you by about 100 lbs. Tyson is such a sad story. I would've love to know how his career would've turned out had Cus D'Amato not died. People forget how technically proficient he was. His head movement and defense were superb, plus he would set up combinations and chop away at the body before coming back up with that absolutely lethal hook. After D'Amato he was surrounded by yes men who only wanted to see the highlight reel knockout and encouraged him to headhunt. He could've gone down as the greatest ever without question, instead of now where early Tyson is in the discussion.
See you people got it all wrong on the having daughters thing. Baby girl doesn't know it but when she's 13 I'm just taking her to a plastic surgeon and telling them to ugly her up. That's a gift to myself that keeps on giving.
This is pretty limited, haven't you heard the expression "no one is ugly at 2am"? If you're going to spend the money on surgery have the doc staple her vagina shut.
But I like Bruce Lee. Spoiler What else were you expecting? Just because you have muscles, doesn't mean you are strong. Spoiler Having daughters is fine. You guys are making a big deal out of nothing. Raise them with a sense of self-worth, to be respectful and help them realize being popular isn't the most important thing in the world and you'll be fine. Where you start running into problems is when you have moms that try to live vicariously through their daughters. If their daughter is unpopular, then that means they are too. One of the moms on the team let her daughter start dating at 11. She is now 13 and has had about 6 boyfriends. It's cool though because it means she's popular. Her dad won't let her get her ears pierced, but she can have a boy over and be alone with him in her basement. I don't get it. Her mom thinks she is shy, but this girl has walked up to my daughter and said, "I think those guys over there are checking me out, should I go say hi?" She was 12. The guys were 17. Good luck with that. Parents have tried to talk to her about it but she thinks since she allows it her daughter will be more open with her. I say it means she's just hiding the bigger stuff. Wait, this example goes against my first sentence, doesn't it? Never mind.
I just came back from the beach. You know what disturbs me? Kids in bikinis. Not teens, but 1-10 year olds. That never happened when I was a kid and it creeps the ever loving shit out of me. Whenever I see a family with a young daughter dressed like that I give them a wide berth when I walk by. You know what also disturbs me? A 300 pound bronzed chicken in a bikini. But that is a different conversation altogether. Looked like a walrus flossing.
How much would it cost to build a rubber room big enough to house every Scientologist in the world? Absolutely. I don't "get that". A bikini is for tanning or showing off. A small girl needs EITHER of those things so what the hell, mom and dad? I wouldn't be caught DEAD letting my daughter wear something like that. Seek help.
Hell it bothers me that they even make bikinis in children's sizes. And liittle girl daisy dukes, mini skirts, and low cut shirts, what the fuck is this shit about! Trying to buy clothes for baby girl is an excercise in not hunting down and killing children's clothing manufacturers.
12 year old girls dress sluttier than 21 year old girls did in night clubs ten years ago. I white-knuckle practically every time I go to a mall. I'm hoping some weird reverse-trend sweeps pop culture in the next few years so Amish clothes become popular with the young crowd. She has my genes. She's going to be hot. And here's a neat trick to the dads on here: when I DJ a school dance: the first time I walked by a coat check and noticed there where shitloads of girls' pants in neat piles on the floor. I asked "So....why are there jeans everywhere?" the kid behind the counter says to me "That's what they wear here. That's what their parents think they left the house in." BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Its weird and a little bit funny that a few guys on here think that if they have a daughter she's going to be attractive.
My daughter would be so hot I will robably have to throw acid in her face instead of throwing a bat mitzvah. So a question for the peanut gallery: So my mom and I were having a discussion on who has been to more countries. We realised that we are tied. But she says that because she went to Czechloslovakia back before they split, and has been to cities that now lie in the new boundries of both countries, that breaks the tie and she wins. I say no.
Went to an Irish bar and got shitfaced. Went to a whiskey bat and got more shitfaced. Escorted my blackout drunk friend to his place and realized I found myself lost yet again in a foreign land. I remember nothing after that realization. All I know is I woke up in my bed, didn't lose anything or puke and I still had some money in my wallet. I'd say that's a small accomplishment. Oh yeah, no open container laws in the fatherland, if I didn't walk everywhere I'd be fat from road beers. MY MOM SAYS I'M HANDSOME. This might be the only time I'm happy I'm on the ugly side. Plus I have no bad karma from my childhood since my homliness combined wiry crippling social retardation all through high school and beyond solidified my virginity (or for that matter even kissing) until I was almost 19. So that means I will probably have a son who will be the exact ipposite of me who will in turn have a ravenous slut for a daughter. Thus is the circle of life.
During my time in FL I saw MANY teens in tight T-shirts wearing booty jorts. Their asses were literally hanging out of their shorts and there was cellulite for miles. I have cellulite; pretty much every woman does. But, if I'm wearing something where my cellulite is visible, it's probably way too short to wear in public. It was wrong on several levels. 1. I don't want to see anyone's ass. 2. They were way too young to dress like that. 3. Why do the parents let them leave the house like that? Oh, wait...the mom is with the kids and is wearing the exact same outfit and looks inappropriate in a completely different way.
I am going school shopping with my daughters this afternoon and I am dreading it for the reasons posted. Even if you do find something decent, the material is paper-thin. My girls have to layer everything. My son, on the other hand, is good. He will wear his clothes until they fall off. I have underwear and socks on his list. Plus he's color blind, so anything I do buy him, he's content. And don't even get me started on the school supplies list. Post-It notes are now required for your child to excel at school apparently. And the awesome $100 calculator for their 8th grade math class. It's a sad state of affairs when I'm excited because someone returned one at Best Buy and I was able to get it for $85 since the package was opened. Score! I've also spent the last hour or so printing coupons to the stores we are going to visit. Someday your life can also be this exciting.
I brought this up too before about Florida moms and their daughters. I was only there a week last time and it was noticeable that the moms are training their daughters at an early age to be Party Girls. Not ALL of them of course, but it really stood out, more than anywhere I've been.
When I think of the possibility of having a daughter, it's not her becoming attractive that scares the shit out of me. It's the knowledge that if she's anything like her old man, she'll be fucking horny.
The one thing I hate more than teenagers dressing provocatively is when I am asked by other teachers/administrators whether or not I think a girl is violating dress code. I'm not going to comment on whether a girl's skirt is too short or whatever. I do my very best to treat them as floating heads. Why older female teachers wish to consult me on this is mystifying. Edit for an embarrassing story. I thought I was going to get in trouble/fired last year for saying something very stupid. A girl asked me how long an essay should be, and without thinking I repeated a line that my mother (an English teacher) always told me when I asked that question. I said an essay should be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover everything, but short enough to still be interesting. So glad she realized I wasn't being intentionally suggestive.
