Opinion I've been saying it starts at home.

The idea that you should never hit a child is also wrong in my opinion.

Not every child is the same. Not every situation is the same. its not 1/0, black or white. Sometimes, in certian situations, these things help.

I know damn well that i deserved a slap when i lit fireworks in my moms makeup box and blew it up in our living room. I loved playing with fire as a kid. After the beating, it never crossed my mind agian. Worked for me!

I've never hit my kids, but I have always understood that there is one type of situation in which I would find it appropriate. If they do something incredibly dangerous, something that very likely could have resulted in severe pain, I feel it appropriate to inflict on them a small portion of that pain. It's basic conditioning.

That has nothing to do with decency or respect, though. You teach those by modeling the behavior you want.

Does it have to do with being poor?
Each day if you want to, you can turn on the TV and see migrants coming to America from thousands of miles away on foot in search for a better life. They have nothing but the shirt on their backs.

They come to America and a LOT of them raise children that are very successful. So what's different?

Poor Americans receive aid to stay home (welfare) programs for food, housing, utilities, cell phones, internet ect. You can also write off your child care on your taxes. They also get a refund from the IRS even tho they didn't pay taxes. But they still can't figure it out, why?

Migrants can, why? Hard work? Family values? Religion? What's the difference here? How the hell can poor migrants that walked to America make it but these Americans can't?

I think its pretty simple to see but for some odd reason we just keep on making excuses, why?

I'm quoting myself because no one wants to address my reply. Anyone have a answer?
 
That kid should go into comedy. He was roasting the shit out of that officer.

Probably has a bit to do with respect to the elders though... You have to understand that elders can kick your ass, otherwise some kids control parents, dominate them even.

But ofcourse, like you said only in certain dangerous situations.

Migrants is too broad. Pick a demo or it's useless to try and discuss. The performance of Cubans for example is very different than Hmong refugees.

Let me ask you a question; if you are feeling so down about this what are you doing to help them? You’re saying they’re get housing, food, facilities, utilities all from the government. So, all they’re basic needs are being met. So what’s the point of your post then?

If you think about it the time it’s taking you to type out all this stuff on this post is more time wasted than that kid in the video. And I assume you are a grown person….so please focus on yourself.

This isn't about race my guy. This is about how groups of people walked here and seem to be able to make it just fine. They're respectful, believe in family values also. How can broke migrants make it but these poor people cant?

Yeah that's a myth. Like I said, Hmong immigrants perform far worse than other demographics. Part of this is policy, part other factors. Hence your claim is silly. By what metric do immigrants do better? You're just tossing out feelings without evidencem race common be stripped out a discussion when government policy is not race neutral
 
kids prob see parents getting arrested by cops all the time so anytime they see cops they're thinking they're about to be put in protective services.

Let's look at unemployment rates shall we?

us mexicans dont blame other people for our problems. if some mexican guy robs a place and gets shot by the police, we blame him. You will never see us riot and blame white people. We just want to work just like everyone else. You dont see vietnamese people do the same either. Or ANYONE else. Only black people will see this video and blame the government.. or white people for these kids behaving this way.
