    Installing a fan in a new section of the store we recently built I overheard some kids talking about how their mom was a bitch because she didn't buy him a damn PS3 for his birthday. Urge to kill.
    Honestly, that doesn't bother me as much as parents that don't punish their kids. At all. I miss the days of the belt.

    Like diving off of a boat and hitting the bottom of the lake, fracturing your spine within 1.5mm of being a quadroplegic, and putting you in the hospital for two weeks?

    Yeah, dumb shit, bro.

    Gnarly scars from surgery though

    Ohhhh I know! Like when parents just let their kids keep screaming in the store and whatnot. I remember I threw a fit in a store once and my dad was like you quit making a scene or I'll slap the shit out of your right here.
    I kept fussing and he propped me over his knee right in the checkout and I never did it again.

    One thing my parents taught me well is responsibility. I've been working since I was old enough to legally get a job without them having to sign papers saying I could work, and I always make sure that my bills and whatnot are paid. My parents bought all my game systems and whatnot up until the Gamecube, but usually as a "this is a Christmas gift for you and your brother" kind of thing. The only other thing they would buy if we asked for it would be something "educational," or that contributed to an extra curricular activity that we could afford otherwise (my brother played sports, so they would buy him new equipment when he needed it, etc, and they bought me a few programming books and whatnot when I asked). Beyond that, though, I saved up for everything else that I wanted from a very early age. I saved most of my allowances, money I found on the street, and money my parents would give me for returning bottles and whatnot for damn close to a solid year to buy a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Blue when I was ten.

    Handing over a bag full of quarters to pay for Pokemon Blue is still one of the highlights of my childhood.

    Indeed it is.

    You know, some people (not necessarily anyone here) have a hard time telling people about their problems IRL in fear of being judged.
    Having these conversations is a good thing because, not only do you talk about th bad shit, but you remember the good shit as well.

    My dad had a nice crisp leather belt just for such occasions. I learned fast to listen and respect. That's why I'm buying a belt specifically for that purpose.

    Hahaha. I remember thinking NES was brand new when I was a kid and old enough to play games somewhat coherently.
    I think that was like.....95?

    All my scars from a motorcycle accident are hidden.
    They are only noticeable when you look closely.

    Nah man. Belts are for pussies. Make them go outside and get their own switch. And if it isn't good enough, you spank with it and make get a good one. That's what I learned as a kid.
