I agree. I had a co-worker that's a really good person, he's very religious, and even though I don't believe in god or religion, this guy has very good morals and values. He doesn't even use profanity at all. And he's very involved in his daughters lives. I know his kids are going to turn out great because I know he's a good father and parent.

On the other hand, I have a friend that was involved in the whole gang lifestyle and I was with him at one of his baby mama's houses, and there was a little kid there that had to be like 6 years old and he was running around cussing at everyone and talking like a gang member, he was clearly imitating his parents. It's sad to say but this kid is probably gonna end up in prison one day.

How kids deal with this is a reflection of their upbringing, for better or worse.

If someone is ugly/ manlet/ baldcelling it is most likely due to their parents.

Man lands on the moon.
"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound. After falling in disgrace to a manmore, a ravaged manlet would not hesitate to come from behind and land a sucker punch/ swing with a rock to the back of a manmore's head. They are ruthless and you need to spend some more time in the gutter to even begin trying to comprehend what goes on in their minds."

Hurt by the aleeboy and need to cope? Go here for hugs: https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showthread.php?t=178724011

I'm a teacher. It's not up to us anymore. It's school districts that are too afraid of parents making a complaint, and then parents that don't do anything for the kids that really need it.


I teach in a Title 1 school. Inner city. 95% of our students are low socioeconomic. I've called Child Protective Services numerous times in just my 4 years. I've had three kids go without glasses because the parents are "tired of them breaking them." so they just let their child not see. 5% of the students cause 95% of the work, and it doesn't change no matter how often you contact (or try to) parents.
Being anti-2nd Amendment is like saying "We have too many rights, please take some away!"

Do parents really come to bitch at you for giving their kid a C, or is that something that's been exaggerated?

I'd say the more stable and affluent the environment is, the more control over raising a kid you can have. But even in a boring upper-middle-class suburb a lot of things can happen - maybe the kid makes a good friend who's a two-faced piece of **** and drags him down, or he meets someone with the connections and gets rich quick, or he knocks up some girl because he forgot his condom but he was just too horny, or he tears his knee ligaments in a game of football and goes on a downward spiral... etc. etc.

Then imagine being in a hood where the school is ****, some of your family friends are dealers or otherwise involved in gangs (voluntarily or not), your parents (if you have both lul) are breaking their backs and at most putting food on the table, you don't know any adult who makes middle-class money without an asterisk, the landlord could care less if the home you live in is falling apart, etc... suddenly, not much agency.
Go Canucks Go!

That doesn't mathematically make sense because then who is responsible for their behavior? Their parents? Is there an endless chain of diffusion of responsibility that leads back to the first parents that were conscious organisms? Or is there some arbitrary age where humans gain true free agency and are now responsible for their actions?

Parents are responsible for the input but not the result remember that.

I would say around 85% responsible. The remaining 15% is influenced by their day-to-day environment, i.e: school, friends, media - etc.
