If by economy you mean some of us are needed to mop up hydraulic ass-juices at gunpoint I suppose you're technically correct. At least they have to feed us, right?

..right?

The fuckwit is a danger to everyone.

At least that'll correct itself when all the fish are dead, right?

..right?

Mint is on the other hand the most popular in the world

If you meet dicks everywhere you post maybe you should reflect a bit on why that might be. Just a suggestion.

No. Do you have a serious case of anger management issues? You sure sound like it.

"I truly don't want to.." yeah I bet you really don't want to.

Here's an idea - try some empathy instead of whatever this "it sure shifted me to a conservative direction.." bullshit is.

It's not really all that believable that any normal person would behave like you say you did, but in case you're actually serious I feel sorry for your child. Nobody deserves shit like that from their own parents.

Slaps are what my mother gave me. My father wouldn't bother with something like simple slaps.

There's never any reason to hurt your own children. Not one. Parents are supposed to protect their children.

The only thing my ultra-conservative father and grandfather managed to do to me was to never ever let them anywhere near their grandchildren.

I also might've let my father know how it feels to get thrown through a bookshelf by someone a lot stronger when I got old enough to do so. Suddenly he was a lot less enthusiastic about physical violence. I wonder why. He still managed to fuck up my spine for life when he did the same to me - when I was 12. Took me 6 years and a lot of physio but he'll never hurt anyone else ever again.

I don't want to generalize, nor am I American, so this is probably irrelevant anyway, but as my wife is an experienced spec ed teacher and I myself have also worked in the educational system for most of my life I feel somewhat competent in giving some perspective.

Now, we do live in one of the Nordic countries, and I've lived in one of the others as well, and we were both raised bi-lingual (Swedish speaking Finns, to be exact). As my immune system is compromised due to a chronic sickness and I'm also an asthmatic, we decided to keep our son home for quite a while during Covid. My wife works with a relatively small group of pupils (~5) since she's a private teacher for children with some form of Autism so we didn't regard that as a really dangerous vector, as they were all masked up due to their own medical issues.

Anyhow, even with all our experience and know-how (and that's besides the social part he missed) it was a major undertaking to homeschool our boy even for a 6 month period, and he's a smart boy too. We made most of the material myself except for his school books, and damn if it wasn't close to a full time job. Ironically we all did get COVID (and I survived, to my surprise) about 2 weeks after he went back to school.

His handwriting had improved a lot though, and he were several chapters in front of the rest of his class in math. He's also almost a year before his peers in English, which means he speaks three languages almost fluently at 10 years old.

So, tl;dr: you're not wrong, but it is possible. Exhausting, but possible.

Edit: typos.

It does, but if you really want to and have the time all but extremely expensive gun safes are not guaranteed to be all that hard to get into.

I've personally lockpicked my way into one that is deemed safe enough for civilian weapons in my country (as a demonstration to its owner, for the record).

A lot has certainly happened since then, if nothing else. It's not like her campaign was very smartly done on almost any level. It sucks, because the end result could have been so much better than what you got instead.
