And yet there were probably kids in your class who were occasionally bad and did not get beaten. They probably write sentences better than you do.

You know, my dad use to woop me with a belt to keep in line and I didn’t sit in front of the tv all day long not learning any thing, I was at school doing home work and in the summer he would put me on the comp. and make me do homework all summer long and now I’m in college and married thanks to my dad who actually cared. Just because you beat some sense into your kids doesn’t mean that you don’t love them just explain why you wooped them and let them know they better not do it again. My dad would take me with him everywhere when I was a kid and let me tell you something for the parents out there using the new method to disciplin their kids! You NEED a reality check! All you do is set them in front of the TV and expect them to fend for themselves. That’s a great way to let you kid grow up isn’t it? Let them grow up alone without disciplin and tuirn out to be the bad guys tnat you wanted to protect them from. Yea good going you fricking morons!!!!

There’s fences out there that I’d like to direct SpongeDob to. They usually have 100,000 volts running through them. Come on SpongeDob! Climb that fence. [shaking fist like Homer, lowering voice] Climb it!

The world of honkies was a perfect, wonderful Honktopia. But there were some other folk, people who didn't worship the Lord JEEEEEEEEE-ZUS-AAAAAH! and who had darker skin tones. THEY were the carnival of evil that the citizens of Cracker County had to shield their young from.

Yeah-those evil darkies--like Hitler!

Hey, getting pinned to the floor by a domineering father beats a trip to the zoo any day…

…so, nowadays the son hangs out in leather bars, where burly men in buttless chaps pin him to the ground with their–WHOA! HEY!

So in the good old days, all the parents were moral exemplars and all the kids were happily obedient, but somehow the world was still a carnival of evil.

Ah, see, I can explain that. The world of honkies was a perfect, wonderful Honktopia. But there were some other folk, people who didn’t worship the Lord JEEEEEEEEE-ZUS-AAAAAH! and who had darker skin tones. THEY were the carnival of evil that the citizens of Cracker County had to shield their young from.

In those days, parental authority typically stood like a great shield against the evils in what was called ?the world.?

I must be missing something here.

Inside the fence is my perfect zone. My control zone.

my lawn, my picket fence, my garden gnome.

Outside, looters and refugees and rapists, everyone.

just more kooky paranoia from a stellar, capital A, ‘American’.

I loves me the folks who think they have some absolute control over any even tiny part of their lives.

I loves it more when the rug out from under them is pulled. Some people deserve to fall apart. no?

"Farmer John could take his sassy son out to the back forty acres and get his mind straight." What the hell? Was Dobson raised by this guy?

In ‘Forbidden Planet’ they tried to keep the Monster From The Id outside the white picket fence, so to say, and look where it got them – “You can’t defeat your own unconscious mind, Doc”

BruceH,

Not to worry, we’re all here praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, that he will keep you safe by protecting you with his noodly appendages…

“…set his mind straight.”

So is that what the kids are calling it these days??

ba-da-bump!

Seriously, so now Dobson is fondly recalling the good ol’ days when kids could be beaten senseless. What ever happened to his cure-all for misbehavin’ kids — baking dogshit into brownies and serving them to his kids?

wow, do he actualy use the term “his sassy son”.
sassy is not a term i would use to describe
adolecent behavior. Its more of a term i would use to describe Rue Paul (god i cant spell for shit).

Did Dobson spend a lot of time shucking corn with his dad in the back forty?

>Considering this is SpongeDob we’re talking about, is anybody about as freaked out as I am about the perceived imagery with this?

Hear, hear. I’ve read gay pulp porn that starts with similar sentences…

BruceH: Good luck and take care!

Farmer John could take his sassy son out to the back forty acres and get his mind straight.

It was when Dad got on the floor and wrestled with his son.

Considering this is SpongeDob we’re talking about, is anybody about as freaked out as I am about the perceived imagery with this?

Especially since that last “his” in the first example isn’t exactly clarified there?

I read that as “the white picket fece” stays put.

the unwholsome things cannot breach a “white” “picket” “fence”.

something very creepy about that sentiment.

very very control freakish.

I see “rebellious teen pregnacy” in his future.

Anything perceived as unwholesome or immoral was kept outside the white picket fence simply by willing it to stay put.

Yes, it’s good, it’s very, very good when negroes and sodomites are wished into the cornfield.

I hope that doesn’t read like the unwholesome and immoral thing I want sidling up to me is also my kid. Sadly, it does.

Anything perceived as unwholesome or immoral was kept outside the white picket fence simply by willing it to stay put.

Presumably, if you could will anything unwholesome and immoral to stay put, you could just as easily will her to, oh, say, sidle up beside you and buy you a drink. Damn this demanding day and age where you actually have to have emotional closeness with your kids!
