What kind of message do you think you’re sending to your kid by not at least saying, “Don’t smack people,” when your stupid kid attempted to whack me on the bus yesterday? If that kid was 14 and he smacked someone he’d end up in jail for assault. Do you think it’s ok or somehow “cute” for him to act out like that towards anyone let alone some random stranger walking past him on a bus just because he’s like what? Four? Apparently, though, the fact that I dare look at your kid with a “wtf?” face is the real crime here! Well, fuck you, your kid and the stinky face you gave me (and then the hug you gave your kid afterwards) after I gave him the ‘wtf’ look! All I can say at this point is, have fun visiting your kid in JAIL when he’s all grown’d up! —PK

Teaching your kid that smacking is wrong seems fundamental to me. Your correct OP in that,if the child doesn’t learn this at the youngest of age, he/she will develop behavioral problems not to mention legal ones as an adult.
Perhaps relatives think this type of thing is funny or cute at home but the kid needs to learn boundries, especially with other people.
Uggg. I hate horrible parents. They are ruining the world, for real. Some people think having a child is fun and cute ONLY and those are the people that usually have terrible children. Or their parents actually disciplined them as children and they didn’t like it, so they decided to not discipline their own spawn.
Ugh. I hate when I see a parent hug (or whatever) a child when instead they should be reprimanding them – way to positively reinforce negative behaviour.
Good job on raising society’s next batch of pint size criminals.
Whenever I hear parents go on and on about how their children are “little angels” I’m almost always positive that their kids are anything but (unless it’s an infant — one of my best friends just had a baby and refers to her as a little angel, and I can see that :P).
Speaking of which, RC’s been off the radar. Do you suppose the stork has come?
today or tomorrow i think
Hay PG — checks yo’ email! i sent you one! 🙂
OMG a little baby. She better not show her face around here until she has it! I mean that in the most precious way 🙂
thanks pretty kitty
I believe she said today was her due date.
i sent you an email admiral
Oh, oh, oh! I can’t wait for some news from our mamabear RC. I love bebes. My mama was bugging me yesterday about creating granchilluns for her. I told her to get a grip, a couple years away, I imagine…
Um – someone send this email to moi, please?? kthanks!
My mom goes on about how she doesn’t care if I have kids or not — it’s completely up to me and she’ll be happy either way.
Meanwhile all she does is knit baby clothes.
Silly mommy!
Dispatch received Painey. Grazie.

You could have and should have said something, PK. Seriously.
Or at least grabbed the kid’s head and farted in his/her mouth. That’s not hitting.
put most of the blame where it belongs o.p., on the parent. most kids at 4 or so are pretty well behaved, just that some are allowed to run amok. watch this now, in about 10 years or so, this kid will be doing time, or maybe not. with the fucking way these little pieces of shit are treated, they might just get an award or something equally stupid, from the courts.
“ARCING;” OR CONNECTING THE DOTS
A fast review of the most recent comments on this miserable thread reveals a common thread, one I have dubbed “arcing” (hard “c””). Arcing involves connecting a variety of threads which have a common theme.
One looks at “Shitty Kids,” “Smelly People,” and “We Don’t Hit,” and other absurdities and what does one see? What one sees is their common denominator. It is the philosophical triumph of an unrestrained and uninformed individualism. Society be damned!
The mother in “We Don’t Hit,” the stinker in “Smelly People” and the proponent of “Shitty Kids” (whoever it was) are all the products of an unrestrained sense of individualistic egocentrism. They are “entitled,” regardless of the poverty of their minds. As the old saying goes, “In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
Thank you. Thank you very much.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Were “Arceing” (soft c) an Olympic event your medal bedecked visage would be adorning a box of Cheerios. (Bland, little round, brown holes – geddit?)
No point saying anything to the “little darling”. Smack the so-called parent.
“ARCING”, OR THROWING A BOWLING BALL
: Uncle Ivan (June 3, 8:44PM) – Shouldn’t that be “arseing,” Ivan? But, the thought occurs, does “arseing,” like “ageing,” take an “e?” I know in English English “ageing” takes the “e” but not in American English where it is rendered “aging” which doesn’t look right. Anyway, I’m sticking to the English English. Maybe we should call in the author of “Grammar Glitches.” Are you there, Glitch?
A further point – I have never eaten Cheerios, Ivan, and judging by your description -“Bland, little round, brown holes” I don’t intend to start. But it does sound like something you might enjoy.
To be quite frank, I think my “arcing” proposal could be quite revolutionary, particularly where dull, mindless bitches having a common theme occur on the same day. It’s like throwing a bowling ball and getting a strike – blowing away all the pins! It’s sort of the reverse of my blasting the various bean-counting comments of my fans on one single post. Arcing would involve the blasting of various mindless, eye-wateringly dull bitches at the same time resulting in minimizing band-width. (An Op-Ed piece in this morning’s “The Gazette” demonstrated convincingly that among the worst environmental polluters is … the Internet or more particularly the major servers (Google, etc.) which have football sized centers in North Carolina. Can you believe it? Troon, are you there?)
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
P.S. I see that the Parasite has begun to pop up again after each of my posts with his empty, idiotic comments. Ignore him.
You like to bowl Monsieur? Instead of bowling strings, you’re bowling across strings with one ball to cover a number of bitches. Very good. What’s your take on the child in “We don’t hit”? A stern discussion in parenting for the mother, a backhander for the kid?

Bold words there SmĂ©agol, especially since I’ve just handed your ass to you.
Too bad you’re not knowledgable/smart enough to play any of my games ;( Oh well.
Still quoting Christopher Booker as an environmental expert? At least HE’S been published ;), how about you, get a book published yet?
HU-GO, HU-GO, HU-GO! *waves donair in the air*
BOWLING & BACKHANDERS
: troondon4 (June 4, 3:23PM)
“You like to bowl Monsieur?”
Actually Troon, I was using the bowling illustration in a wholly metaphorical sense. No, Troon, I don’t bowl. The reason for this is that it is um, rather down-market, don’t you think? However, for this reason it should go down very well with the Halifax Underclass. They could form their own team – what about the “Redneck Strutters”? – and play similarly deprived areas in Halifax. What about the Strutters taking on “North Preston’s Finest.” That sounds like a barn-burner.
– “What’s your take on the child in ‘We Don’t Hit’? A stern discussion in parenting for the mother, a backhander for the kid?”
Like everything else Troon, the means of transportation are class markers. I note that the incident took place on a public bus and, Troon, I never take the bus. Why? Well, Troon, who does one meet on the bus? That’s right Troon, one meets the Halifax Underclass, people like the mother and the kid. Smelly people and shitty kids. Choose another means of transport, Troon.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
For your information Professor Cato, some of us so-called “Underclass” choose to utilize HRM’s finely organized, well managed, easily accessible public transit because we care about a sustainable future, we seek to re-educate the populace from the thought-crime of car culture and because we are deeply concerned about the sort of world we are going to bequeath to our…..
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
…No, it’s all true. We suck.
that was pure platinum admiral. i love donk’s new avatar “do androids dream of elektrik sheep”
Do you suppose that’s Donk and she got to meet Rutger when he was in town? Ooooh pleeze,pleeze,pleeze.
SOBova and I were going for Dim Sum one sunday many moons ago and we passed Michael Moriarty after , what was obviously, a very hard night on the tiles.
he kame into the kitkhen at the resto, very tall and quite twinkly
It’s a shame that the Coast has closed the comments on the most recent update of a certain car insurance related story because I’ve been itching for an opportunity to post this:

i noted that too, their fingers have been burnt before^^
The child will go on to great success in life and will be adored by women. That’s how it goes.
Thanks for the encouraging words Deeker.
Sorry monsieur, I don’t take the bus either. I live too far away down here in Falmouth on the edge of the beautiful Annapolis Valley. I rideshare into the big city. Not much of an underclass down here. In fact, you won’t find much class at all.
I’m a firm believer of you get hit…you hit back.
Just don’t bludgeon them to death, I remember one of my daughters went through a biting stage around 2, I believe it was, & she bit my mum, well mum took her & bit her back, the baby cried & was really upset…but I don’t remember her biting after that.
And no my mum didn’t bite her that hard, just hard enough to hurt & teach her, biting hurts.
But these days, kids are literally getting away with murder (look at that kid who was constantly stealing cars & killed that teacher in Halisux, with one ) I believe parents are mostly to blame with lots of blame that’s left over, to be put on those who believe that children are all blameless & should be treated like angel’s even while acting like devils.
While I am certianly not a religious man, the ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’…has some merit IMO.
LOL…..just look at the quality of service you get for your pocket of change on the loser cruisers. Why even subject yourself to it? Do you honestly think normal people use it?
Oh wait a minute. The bitcher is PK? The kid had good instincts. Sometimes kids just know.
MM’s individualistic egocentrism assesment is 100% correct. See “Didn’t Get the Job Because of You”. The bitcher in this “We Don’t Hit” thread demonstrates their completely irrational and pure batshit crazy paranoid egocentrism. They see every post is an attack on them. Somehow, PK thought a first post was addressing her, with absolutely no indication of that.
Zero perspective whatsoever. Totally a Me Generationite.
I rate this bitch 0/10. Stupid bitch.
I fn’ HATE watching my friend “parent” her little boy. If he talks back, she says “STOP IT”
“NO”
Then..what? nothing? really? FOLLOW THROUGH.
And don’t get me started on the ones who defend their bad behavior to the death. The karma in that will take care of it’s self.
