Alright. Second Post. I will use the enter and period button. I promise. I wanted to post today because of a news article I read this morning on my wonderful news site NBC4. It was a story about a bakery in the heart of Chicago that decided to do something about the little bad ass kids that would come into his bakery.
He took a sheet of poster paper and put blue hand prints on it and wrote in the middle of it "Children: (Name) would appreciate it if you would please use your inside voice while in his bakery. Thank You." This sign was placed on the front door about eye level with most children.
The reason the owner placed this sign up is the high volume of bad ass kids that would come in and get so loud and so rude that the parents would actually take the children outside. Now I don't know about anyone else here but if I ever acted like some of these kids did I would have gotten a trip to the bathroom and an ass whipping. Now this story in and of itself is not that big of a deal. Sounded like a pretty good idea to me. Actually more of a nice reminder to kids and parents.
Well apparently some parents didn't agree. There is a rather large group of "parents" who were offended. I don't understand how this could happen unless their children were named in the sign. I'm guessing they were so offended because their children were probably the little bastards who were tearing the place apart.
I don't know if I'm alone in this or not but it seems to me that a good mom or dad would not really think to much of the sign. I know if it were my children I would most likely use it to reinforce the idea that if they don't behave I will whoop they little ass. All of this occured on a street in Chicago that has a couple of bakery's on it. So the parents who are boycotting this bakery probably won't have the effect on it that theyre looking for. Since this is probably the place in town you go to for a good cake or cookie.
What really got me at the end of the story though is what some of the parents they interviewed said. One woman who didn't give her name said that since the bakery catered to kids with it's ice cream, cookies and cake that the owner should just deal with it. Now this guy has been in business for 14 years. He's been taking it for quite a while I would imagine. He's getting older now and the noise and disturbance probably give him a migraine. Much like the one I get everytime I have to make a trip to the local side show that everyone calls Wal-Mart.
I give this guy respect though, cause even with all the news and bullshit he has refused to take the sign down. I think it's time to go back to kickin your kids ass whenever it is needed. I'm tired of hearing the horrible back talk that some kids give their parents out in public. What really is irritating though is the parents that just sit there and take it. I can't be alone in this now that I think about it. I know some of you out there have been sitting in a long ass line at one store or another and just wanted to grab the annoying little shit in front of you and beat him like his parents never did.
Now with all this said and done if I have offended anyone.....kiss my ass and keep your kids in check.

Cheers Barny, that's great that is. I try to make a decent contribution, I drink with you and I dare to call you 'friend'. This is how I re-paid, in death threats and insults.

I was sitting down in front of the TV the other day watching the news, there was a report on something quite trivial, but, it did get me thinking though. The funny thing is though, not once through my thought processes of that time did I stop and think "hey! I'm sure people on Ubersite would love to know my thoughs on some bullshit trivial news report"

You have a point. Even though this is not a great post, it's better than most of the shit on this site.
Also, a note. When you rate your own posts, your rating does not affect the overall rating of the post. So give yourself a 0 or you look like a giant deuche.

ok...saying First Post on your first post was annoying enough but you have to remind us all that there's much more garbage on the way because this is onlye your "second post" makes me beat my pecker with a sledge hammer.
+2 for the post cause I liked it.
-3 for saying "Second Post" in your second post.

Well here's the thing, I remember the days of being a little kid and I remember little kids being spoilt, violent, recklass, stupid and obnoxious. As was I. Now, I doubt there is that big a difference between our two people and I also doubt there is much difference between the great many generations who have uttered the immortal line "the state of youth today...".
Chances are that you're looking at the pst with 'rose tinted spectacles' or blacking out all the horrid bits like when you and yuor mates beat Robin Mackay to the floor and pissed on him because he had a gay name.
Second option is that you lived a very sheltered life.
In either case, kids have always been as bad as they are and that is reality mister.
