We Need Chinese Prison Factories in America

This is why America is a second rate power.

In 2006, Ms. Linn’s group went to the Federal Trade Commission to complain about the educational claims made by Disney and another company, Brainy Baby. As a result, the companies dropped the word “educational” from their marketing. But the group didn’t think that was enough.

So let me get this straight, Ms. Linn and a bunch of other lunatic parents want a freakin’ refund (boy do I wish I could curse right now) because the little videos on their tv did not turn their little brats into baby geniuses? Hmm. Well, I would be more than willing to dispute such claims by Ms. Linn and say: yes indeed, “The Fly’s” kids watched Baby Einstein videos and they are now little baby geniuses.

What ever happened to real parenting, like sitting down with your kids and teaching them simple multiplication? Who are these people that rely on videos to teach their children? Let me guess, it’s the “career Mothers,” who would rather have a baby sitter and a DVD player raise their kids, instead of doing the work themselves. Selfish, lazy bastards!

See, the problem with this country is too many freedoms, coupled with an extremely effeminate society. Everyone gets offended; because everyone is weak. I say, bring on the Chinese prison factories now and let’s get America back one Nike sneaker sole at a time.

    “What ever happened to real parenting, like sitting down with your kids and teaching them simple multiplication?”

    An F in Math
    Little Johnny returns from school and says he got an F in arithmetic.
    “Why?” asks the father.

    “The teacher asked ‘How much is 2×3?’ I said ‘6’”

    “But that’s right!”

    “Then she asked me ‘How much is 3×2?'”

    “What’s the fucking difference?”

    “That’s exactly what I said.”

      Pipe down, QJ. Those red Communists know more about capitalism than our damn White House administration. They may be communists, but at least they know how to exploit their resources. Meanwhile, we hamstring our own economy to the appeasement of burlap sack-wearing ecojackasses and economically illiterate lobbyists.

    You’ve hit the nail on the head. America as a society has become totally gay. Home ownership has somehow become a right, not a privilege. And every little hiccup in the economy is met with slashing of interest rates because god forbid we Americans must endure the down end of a business cycle. This gayification of America has been in the works ever since Reagen presidency ended.

    The joo bankers on wall street are buying the dollar, because they know if they dont america will demand strong dollar policy, aka big ben will have to raise rates to protect USD….the last think joo bankers want is the fed to mess up their yield curve, so they will go long USD futures, knowing that it doesnt take much dough at all to move the currency markets because of the 1% margin requirements, and everyone is short USD anyway so a lil move will spark short covering rally. buy the commodities on dips, the dollar is fundamentally flawed.

      You are correct in your description of the bond, but the antisemitism is not warranted, necessary nor humorous. Is Bill Gross, that commie asshat, Jooish?

      You may recall what happened in the last Great Depression when people started blaming “joos” for everything.

      Knock it off.

        You are right – when things go wrong, people blame anyone that is different – -including people that appear more successful. And pols look to use this inclination blame others in order to deflect blame for their own failings (see GWB and Iraq War).

        Separately, in answer to your rhetorical question: Yes, Bill Gross is Jewish.

          Yes, I would be inclined to agree that Bush Derangement Syndrome is similar in character and irrationality to virulent antisemitism.

          Ironically, both prejudices have been used to great effect by socialists to sway the more dimwitted of the “populist mobs” in order to seize power for authoritarian purposes.

            Yeah, Bush’s handlers would never have considered doing something so anti-Constitutional as that!

            Jake, you have a huge blind spot born of your proclivity to see everything as my club vs their club – my label v their label. Think for yourself and appreciate nuance. Obama’s people are grabbing power for their interests and Bush’s handlers did the same. This though may blow your mind: Both the Obama and Bush administrations can be flawed..

            And Bush didn’t use the threat of terrorism for exactly the same purpose? I’d argue that American dimwitted mobs are much more easily swayed to rightist extremism due to their Christian fundamentalist background.

            Another dimwit.

            Tell me, how many citizens should we allow to be killed — how many of our major cities should we allow to be attacked before we “address the threat of terrorism?”

            I don’t know about you — I suspect you are a dimwit Euro eating french fries while relaxing under our defense aegis — but I lost two guys from my high school home-room class to separate terrorist incidents (Lockerbie and 911).

            I tend to take the whole wackjob Wahabbist death to Amelica thing kind of seriously.

            So you’re OK sacrificing your basic freedoms to keep you safe and sound in your comfy bed? Dude, with freedoms come risks. I can’t think of anything more un-American than having the gubmint listen in on your phone conversations or seize your emails without a warrant, both of which they had the right to do under the Patriot Act.

    I work with children in a dental setting, and I couldn’t agree more. Sadly, the kids have great potential, it’s the horrible parents that muck it up. Gen-X parents (and I’m gen-x) are the worst authority figures in the history of our country. We can’t just let the shitty parenting of our forebears slide, we must purge our baggage and sadness by allowing our children to run amuk on this planet. This must stop!

      Speak for yourself.

      My four kids march around the house in full dress and stand at ease in semi-collapsed British Squares.

      What’s more, they go to a school that’s even stricter than the one I attended, which was the strictest on Lawn Guyland, and still is to this day (not that that’s as big a deal today).

      Within the next two decades they will be tormenting aging hippy boomers by getting elected to Congress and doing away with the Social Security and the Medicare.

    Women are the cause of the financial mess we’re in. They want the big house, SUV and kids. Men are suckers for putting up with this shit just to keep the peace and get some pussy.

    Maybe a depression will return society to more traditional gender roles. Moms should stay at home and abuse tranquilizers while rasing the kids. Men should resume their place as sole breadwinners.

    I read where divorce rates have gone down with the economy. I’m seeing just the opposite within my own social circle. Lots of divorces, especially among couples with young children. Most of this is caused by financial trouble brought on by that lifestyle obsession and subsequent loss of a job. I feel sorry for the guys. They are totally fucked.
