Sure, when your son punches someone on the opposing team during a kid’s hockey game he’s “defending his teammates honor”, but when I do it I’m “assaulting a minor” and “not allowed within 300 feet of a school” by a so-called “judge”.
I thought this was America!
When my nephew was a little kid he got suspended from school. My sister and her husband were working, but I was still in university so I offered to go pick him up. Turns out he’d done exactly this on the playground so I took him to McDonald’s and bought him Lego on his day off.
Hockey skills are life skills
My kid would get a Disney trip for something like this
That’s what I’m talking about, just keep escalating untill someone draws a gun!! Pride and ego RULEZZZ!! FUCK YEAH, VIOLENCE! /s
Why in the flying fuck would you ever care what some fuckstick in the opposite team shouted at you or your friends? Responding to words on the field with violence is so fucking dumb and this whole appreciation thread feels even dumber. Just shout back that his mom was a whore in retaliation if you really need to reciprocate, and then proceed to score more points than the opposite team.
Sometimes, horrible little fuckers just need a punch in the mouth
You also just publicly admitted you don’t attend you kids games, shitty parent.
Sure, because people never work hourly jobs that they can’t get days off from, and they never have multiple children who have events on the same night, and they never have younger kids they have to stay home with while the other parent go to the event.
And that’s assuming this parent wasn’t at the hockey game. It’s totally possible that she was, but she couldn’t hear why the punch happened because she was too far back and the comment was too quiet.
Escalation to violence is never acceptable. Tell it to the referee or police instead.
Sir, this is a Lemmy’s.
Fantasy violence against baddies is mandatory.
Violence in defense of the innocent is always acceptable.
Actually, in hockey it’s literally acceptable. Like, there’s rules for the fighting.
Unfortunately a closed fist speaks louder than an open mouth when a person has no intention of listening…
A closed fist results in another closed fist. This attitude is why we have wars.
The paradox of tolerance is lost on you
You’re a coward
Literally Hitler!!1!one
We know why wars happen in the modern age and it isn’t people punching each other, actually.
That’s not entirely true, war is far more complex than that…
My point is/was that sometimes a short sharp shock delivers one of two outcomes: it either clarifies someone’s mind or teaches them the important lesson that words have consequences.
I can’t stress enough that it is a final resort though. All other avenues need to have been fully explored first.
It’s hockey.
The reason why there’s so much shitty stuff happening in 'Murica right now is this attitude
Consequences must be immediate
The reason people stormed the capitol is because they think they have the moral high ground and can sidestep the justice system. Consequences can be immediate even if you tell the referee.
No, it’s because the President told them to do it.
And the reason why the pedophile rapist got elected is because usians did not make an example of those idiots storming the capitol immediately.
Violence is never the answer, but some people are not asking questions; some people are looking for consequences.
I’m not going to waste any more time on you
You’re a coward
Please go grow a real spine and an understanding of how the world actually works.
I’m painfully aware of how the world works. Your attitude is why the Israel-Palestine conflict persists.
The question is how can we make world work better? One way is teaching our kids not to escalate conflict into violence.
Amount dislikes this comment got pains me We should teach children to resolve verbal conflicts without physical retaliation, not reward behavior of escalation to physical violence
Cheng Xin, is that you?
