Discipline 2013 Style




     Recently, the guardian of a girl in Sacramento was criticized for her brand of discipline.  This guardian is raising her younger sister who has been lying and stealing (most notably, the dog of a friend).  The punishment (that now has members of the community upset) was for the young lady to stand on a busy street corner holding a neon green sign that read, “I lie to and steal from my family and friends.” 
     This brand of punishment in NOTHING new in our current climate…….hell, there have been judges that have sentenced people to hold similar signs………BBBBBBBUUUUUUTTTTTT because this intersection gets 1,000’s of cars that pass by it and the girl cried when asked what she did people are saying that her guardian went too far.  ******Wait while I scratch my head********* Ok……..sooooooooo, it is NOT ok to spank……..it is NOT ok to yell……time out clearly is NOT working for our society as a whole………and NOW children should NOT be humiliated in order for a lesson to be taught?!
    Well golly gee Gomer, why don’t we just keep on breeding spree shooters that throw murderous fits when they can’t have their way because they have NEVER been held accountable for crap!!!! Oh dang, I almost forgot……we don’t like when that happens……we as society want to criticize the parents for not being strict enough when the kids go postal.  So can someone PLEASE tell me what is left to do? If you are one of those bleeding heart idiots that is mad because this could be delinquent had to stand with a sign because she STOLE and LIED…..would you be happier if she were beat to a pulp? Or would it make your day if NO punishment was rendered and then one day she is stealing your belongings at gun point?
     I would also like to know why this brand of punishment is ok for girls who twerk……boys that steal….bullies…..shoplifters…….sexters……BUT not this girl who STOLE FROM HER FRIEND? I have sat back and watched other parents get pats on the back for IDENTICAL punishments when their daughters were caught wearing short shorts or twerking it like Miley…….but this guardian makes the news and people are criticizing. HHHHHHMMMMMMMMM…….something is rotten here folks.  Who exactly is setting these new discipline rules? When did it become a scarlet letter sentence to be a parent? Why is it so bad to want to set out into the world: well behaved, educated, respectful, law abiding citizens? When did being a kid’s buddy become the standard?
    Wait….wait….wait…….I am asking all the wrong questions here.  WHEN DID HYPOCRACY CONSUME US? That is the proper question.  We don’t like to hear about sexualized children, mass shootings, prison sentences for minors, etc……YET we don’t want them disciplined.  We want them to feel equal.  We want them to like us.  We want them to live the childhood and adolescence that we desired (even though maturity SHOULD reign supreme in us currently).  We want all of this while simultaneously rolling our eyes at the mother whose child is cursing her at Walmart……….whispering about the father whose son got arrested for stealing…….shaking our heads in disgust at the teen who shoots up his high school cafeteria because he didn’t get the latest game console. 
    Wake up America!!!!!!! It is time to take a side and it is far past time to grow the fuck up!!!!!!!!!! Be a parent and support fellow parents by ACTUALLY DISCIPLING YOUR CHILDREN……..by STANDING TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYONE’S TOMORROW. This generation that you are trying to make your besties are our future EVERYTHNG……….take a good long hard look around and ask yourself……..

WILL I FEEL SAFE WITH THEM IN CHARGE?
