Damn I hate crying kids
 

If I walk into a restaurant and there are kids crying, I get up and leave . . . .give no thought to it, but now I have a real problem,

The old lady that lived across the street eventually died, and now some young family with a couple of young kids, and an apparent unending stream of friends has moved in her place.

The shrill scream of a 2 year old is enough to make me want to aim one of my mortars into their living room window

amen

Nothing worse than been stuck on some long ass plane ride with screaming babies :mad:

You own mortars?

aim at 37 degrees and make sure you adjust at least 2-4 degrees when you take into account windspeed:thumbsup

someone has to

lol

Then I say fire a warning shot over their bow. After that, it's go time.

the streets are not that wide, probably 75' is as far as it would have to go . . . . pretty much a horizontal shot

:1orglaugh

I have never understood why parents take offense when you look at them like wtf????

Not every place is a good place to bring your infants or even toddlers.....


You dont see a couple in their thirties having a drink at the bottom of the slide....

so dont make a nice restaurant a fucking playground

and while we are at it ......teenagers and especially people in their twenties.....

PULL UP YOUR FUCKING PANTS AND STRAIGHTEN YOUR BASEBALL CAP........NO NOW!

not that i care if you have a mortar or not

but it shocks me that anyone can own a mortar at all

did you buy it legally?

i might be naive, but can you buy that shit in the states?


nothing suprises me anymore

The other night I took my daughter out to dinner, and since I did not have any clean Levi's we decided to go somewhere nice.

She is a vegetarian, so it kind of limits where we can go and she can have more than a green salad and mashed potatoes. She wanted to go to this nice Italian place in Manhattan, because she had been to the one in Sacramento, and figured it would be dressy enough for how we were.

Imagine my surprise when we came in and there was some punk in his early 20's wearing his baseball cap backwards and looking all, what is the word the kids use these days . . . . thugish.

Don't parents take the time to teach their kids anything about class any more?

IF I HAD A ROCKET LAUNCHER

Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

The back room at any 7-11

thru the freezer i guess

this isn't Canada, every spare room isn't automatically a freezer :1orglaugh

throw the kids some nitequil they'll shut up quick

No, that way leads to Apu's garden in the shade.

you looked spiffy in San deigo in your suit. :thumbsup

As you know Lloyd I spent a couple years as a Marine Instructor at the School of Infantry....when we would pull staff duty part of our gig was to inspect the attire of the young lads before they went out off base in civilian attire.......

if i had any boxer or hat offenders i would make them line up and stand at attention whilee the rest of the troops went on their way.....

I would ask....why.......why would you want to pull your fucking pants down to show your underwear....you look like a fucking retarded kid....only they know enough to pull up their fucking pants......

I dig being hip and all that....but this is the emperors new clothes here.......

and there is not one of you here who can give me a compelling argument to defend this fashion atrocity so don't

if there has ever been a sign of the end of the world....to me its when our youth has become so incredibly stupid they choose to walk around with falling down pants

almost as spiffy as I look right now in my Webmaster Safari t-shirt

That's one of the main reasons why I tend not to take my daughter out to many places. She likes any type of attention - good or bad, so when she doesn't get her way - it's the scream/squeel that is so piercing, that I was beginning to get severe ear problems at one point. The thing is, if you give her attention - upset, reprimand, it just gets worst - if you ignore her, it continues - so it's like a catch-22. I can't wait until she passes this phase! So I understand - without a doubt - your predicament :(

Crying sucks for sure. Crank up some music. :glugglug

jim, it's to justify the 'shifty type walk' they do to keep the pants up, don't you know that??:1orglaugh

I loved it when my son started the fire academy, because he used to wear pants too big for him and they made him start wearing slacks that fit, with a belt. It was worth how ever many thousands I shelled out to get rid of that thug look.

kids crying is the most annoying sound in the world...

Actually - Luciano Pavarotti full blast in the car usually brings her to a silent standstill - that, my friends, is my solace in the car :)

At 75' I strongly suggest that you do not use a Four-Deuce. (4.2)

When I and my siblings were little kids, all it took was one good severe spanking and that kind of horseshit never happened again.


Sometimes it's sad how times have changed.

My God that kills me I see the guys walking around and they can barely move...they try to look tough.....hoiw the fuck can you look tough with your God Damn pants falling down

How the fuck can you look tough when you walk like a penguin....seriously........

If i was a "Pulled up Pants" kid I'd be whipping their ass.....why???

because our special ed droppy poopy pants tough guys would be too busy looking like a dork with pants around the ankles.....

SOI...East or West coast? One of my brothers was an instructor at SOI for about three years...on the East Coast.

That shit did not fly in my home. If one of my kids started up with that crap, they were outside so fast their heads would spin. No way would I make other patrons put up with what I would not put up with.

What pisses me off is that my son and I like to go to IHOP for late night dinners. We never even go until like 11 PM. I can't believe people have the nerve to be taking their kids out to eat at that hour, but sure enough, the last 3 times we have been there we have walked out before the waiter could get water on our table.

Then we end up driving 20 miles to Izzy's . . . . should probably just start off heading that way

well, it would improve my view

West Coast for three years....I taught Tactics and Weapons

I wanted nothing to do with Camp Geiger...lol

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

what the hell is a mortar anyway?
is it like a bazooka?

CDSmith - trust me, this pumpkin, as beautiful and as sweet as she can be, is just not afraid of anyone. The only thing that will calm her down is if I take out the 'spiders' - she has a severe fear of spiders - but then it's hysteria :)

She's actually getting better & the nun's (she goes to daycare at a convent) swear she's the sweetest & best behaved one.

baddog, I don't take her to anyplace where a screaming child should not be tolerated. McDonald's is fine (playground ones) - park, soccer field - I don't take her to restaurants. Strange thing is if you take her to a church - not a beep from her, she doesn't fidget or anything like that.

Spankings, punishment, time-outs, instilling fear - nothing has worked. My son went through the same phase at 3 but he was & still is, scared shitless of me - so that stopped quickly. She has no fear - none whatsoever & sometimes it's not a bad thing, but in this case, it sure damn is!!!!!!!! :1orglaugh

No...a "bazooka"...which is an obselete term...is a shoulder launch weapon. A Mortar is a tube with a base plate and bi-pod with aiming lenses that fires vertically.

wow:p

mortar

kids cry too much
#1 reason I don't want any :)

she has the fear of God I guess :winkwink:

I guess I was lucky with my two . . . . scratch that, I know I was lucky with my two . . . still am :thumbsup

Children need to learn how to behave appropriately in every situation. You can't let your kid run wild like a maniac at home then expect them to know how to behave in public. When there are expectations, boundaries, and consistent consequences, you won't have a problem.

I have 3 children and we take them to very nice restaurants. I see people cringe when we walk in because they think we're going to ruin their dining experience. These are the people who come over to our table to commend our children and thank us for having such nice, well-behaved kids. (they're 3, 6, and 9, btw)

That tantrum shit doesn't fly with us.

Befriend the kids, then instead of crying, they will come to your house with smiles :)

Then again, you may get some strange looks for that.

(I am amazed at how this thread has gone from hating crying kids to teens looking like thugs and where to buy firearms...or whatever the heck you guys are talking about!)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

why im never having kids. :thumbsup

The last thing I need is a couple 2 year olds running across the street to visit me . . . . thanks, but no thanks. I am done with kids until my kids decide to make me a grandfather, and that will be at least 5 years from now . . . at the very earliest.

Yeah, I re-noticed the 2yo thing after I posted that :1orglaugh
Ah well, it was a joke anyway :winkwink:

My God there are some miseries in this thread.

I suppose none of you were kids.

I shudder to remember what I looked like in the late 60s, all flower power, bells beads and kaftans. My Dad use to think I was going to a wedding or funeral if I wore shoes. :1orglaugh

From now only those who never cried as babies are allowed to post. :thumbsup
