If you need a calming banana to not punch people not mistreating you in the face you are a garbage person

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago

SOMEONE didn't get their calming banana!

Garbage adults start as garbage children

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

I dunno about that. Usually kids start out great until garbage adults get a hold of them, and then all bets are off.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Nah, even as a child that's unacceptable. My kid is only 5 and I don't let them hit people, and punish them when they do. The response from the parent shows the apple fell straight down

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

No! Bad! No hitting children!

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net -3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's unacceptable, but it's also unacceptable to call a child a "garbage person" for acting like a child.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Regardless of the labelling, punching someone in the face is absolutely not "acting like a child", it's acting like a garbage person. That shit should not be tolerated or excused away to complain about labelling.

And honestly, excusing away a kid battering their teacher as "acting like a child" is pretty goddamned unacceptable too.

My little brother threw a chair at his preschool teacher. This is absolutely shit kids do, that they need to be taught is unacceptable. You don't teach kids to be better by writing them off as garbage humans, because they're still learning.

If you call your five year old garbage for acting out, you're a shitty parent.

Okay, a garbage child then.

This "child" could be 7 or 17, which makes a huge difference regarding the appropriateness of their response. We need more context.

People are just violent apes until you raise them to be civilized.

You shouldn’t be in charge of anything. That’s called being complacent and leads to even worse problems.
