It's stupifying what people will do to their kids
Boy is beaten for putting pink nail polish on
Chances are that this kid was just doing it for the hell of it, not to make any statement - but jeepers. Hatred and sterotypes and strict gender 'rules' apply that strongly to many people. Its amazing how many will freak out about their son doing something like that, even if they don't go to the extent that this asshat did.

Stories like that make me glad my son has me for a mother.

Jeez. It is a hell of a shame when you see stereotypes carried out like this....and unfortunate that even in this day and age (when we're supposedly more free to 'be') that stories like this are happening.
Since when have 'gender roles' mattered anyway? Thought we'd pretty much got rid of them....I mean, I'm a bloke, and I'm a regular housewife. Er. Husband.
But yeah. Bastard.

It is outrageous. I mean, putting on pink nail polish doesn't mean you son's gay. What self respecting gay man wears pink nail polish?

You are not being mean when you say NO to unreasonable demands or when you express your ideas, feelings, and opinions, even if they differ from those of others.â€

Well...through time there has always been people who are ignorant and I hardly see that changing in the future. The hot topic may change, but there'll always be something.
On the flip side, there's always been and always will be some pretty fabulous people as well.

I don't think we're getting more ignorant - we know what more things are nowadays, but we fight that much harder to go back to the way were - to go back to those blissfully ignorant days.Originally posted by Crocodile HunterMore ignorant then what people used to be?Originally posted by Ult_Sm86

I think ignorance is evil's lesser cousin and if you think beating his kid cuz he wore pink nail polish isn't both ignorant and evil, then you need to check your ignorance level as well. (that isn't directed at anyone I'm just saying.)
Ignorance has always been around, but I personally feel it's been a lot more prominent in our time. I see examples like this and I can't help but wonder what kind of ignorant person raised the parents, or what kind of an ignorant media are they watching that they can justify themselves for beating their child up for putting on nail polish? Ignorance is swelling in my opinion.

Well....what about the ages where herb women were burned at the stake for being a witch? Or any of the hundreds of other things that were done because of an opinion or fear that was around at the time?
No one was arguing that this guy was ignorant in doing what he did. I think that it is easy to get caught up in the happenings of what stage you are in too. Its like teens now think that their parents never had issues like they did. Well...guess what. Their parents felt the same way. There are definate differences, yes, and different issues, but the underlying core experience is very similar. And I think that parents forget in a lot of cases what it 'feels' like, just as thier parents did.
Alright. I'm babbling.

oh without a doubt this is true.
My exact words to my sister the other night "If you think mom doesn't know what it's like to be a teenager in 2007 then you're right. But if you think she doesn't know what it's like to be a young girl in high school with boy problems then you're dead wrong and you need to be able to talk to her, and it's important to keep doing so now."
You can assume, the communication level involved in this incident was not particularly good.
also, because everytime I see this icon in the slew of random smilies to the left of me here, I have to use it.

I agree..peole need a test or something to have children. Beating your kids is wrong. Spanking their butts but not going overboard is ok...but to beat them for PINK NAIL POLISH?? Can you hear me in the 50's??

Where the hell was the mother? He's obviously drunk and she just lets him take their baby girls outside dressed in barely anything? I hope they didn't suffer for very long.
