50 Times Kids Were So Effin' Smart, Parents Just Had To Share These Pics Online

so... anyone under age 18 that defies their parents by getting a medical procedure done without parental consent, has just exposed the medical professionals responsible for injecting them to criminal assault charges... and if one of those kids dies from a side effect of the vaccine, then the doctor responsible is then on the hook for manslaughter... way to go kids!

...bearing in mind that street lights are there for a reason... some people are @$$holes and like to victimize others... so street lights are meant to light up the entire area and not just the ground directly underneath... using lights that are "better for the environment" need to be spaced closer together in order to adequately perform their intended purpose - which inevitably means that more of them are needed, using more electricity and therefore becoming even worse for the environment... long story short... if there were no idiot criminals out there, we wouldn't need so many street lights.

No... veterans are NOT civilians... they are veterans, they were civilians BEFORE they enlisted, but the changes that take place when becoming a member of the armed forces can never be undone. That being said, there are an awful lot of civilians out there that pretend to be service members and veterans because they think that status brings them some kind of reward... it doesn't. Serving our country is a choice that we make for reasons we don't need to explain to others - we don't do it for recognition, and we certainly don't do it for reward, because military pay is amongst the lowest hourly rate in the world.

30 Myths That Widely Circulate As Truth, According To This Viral Thread

She did not get "3rd degree burns" - severe burns - yes, but not 3rd degree burns... 3rd degree burns are called "3rd degree burns" because they involve injuries that cause ALL layers of the skin in the affected area to be destroyed by heat - that means burns that go down to the flesh (muscle tissue) - hot coffee simply isn't hot enough to cause burns such as that unless the coffee is brewed at 232°F (Boiling) and coffee makers do not make coffee that hot - the "barista" would not be able to hold the paper cup if it was that hot. Just as a point of reference, when I was 10 years old I accidentally spilled a mug of hot drink that had just come from the kettle (so boiling) over my groin area and my injuries, while painful, were 2nd degree at worst (blisters)... so if you're going to "correct" myths that are circulating as truths, try to do so without adding mythical content of your own.

Just to put things in perspective for you... Armed Forces Personnel are on duty 23 hours and 59 minutes per day, 7 days per week - and while usually not actually active for that long all the time, if called you are REQUIRED to report for duty - while as a serving member of the UK armed forces, I earned around $650 a month which, equates to around $0.90 per hour... Cooks and chefs are NEVER required to fight and/or die for their country. Just imagine what kind of world we would live in if there were no young men and women willing to sacrifice their lives for your safety and security... Meanwhile, the average politician (people responsible for sending those young men and women off to war) gets around $125 an hour ($240,000 a year for the lower level congressperson).

People Are Calling Out Toxic Parenting Tactics That Are Still Often Viewed As "Normal" (30 Answers)

I don't agree with the way the mother in this post acted BUT... it costs an average of $250,000 to raise a child from birth to age 18... if the adult child is working and still living with parents - he or she should absolutely pay their fair share toward rent and groceries - as adults, they aren't entitled to anything free of charge - mom and dad stop being legally financially responsible for kids once they reach adulthood - those kids aren't going to get free rent, free food or free transportation if they weren't living with mom and dad anymore so why should the parents continue to pay for them... once you reach adulthood, your necessities in life are YOUR responsibility, not your parents.

People Are Calling Out Toxic Parenting Tactics That Are Still Often Viewed As "Normal" (30 Answers)

Telling young boys that they shouldn't hit girls is not about telling them they cannot defend themselves - if someone's hitting you - fight back (regardless of gender) - the point of educating young boys that it is not OK to hit girls is about teaching them not to be abusive to the opposite sex later in life. My parents taught me this way - if I'm attacked physically - I'll give back in spades, but I won't raise a hand to a woman in anger - I'll only ever defend myself as necessary. I was raised to appreciate respect, rules, and ethics, and developed honor and integrity as a result - something that is sorely lacking in the younger generation these days.

People Are Calling Out Toxic Parenting Tactics That Are Still Often Viewed As "Normal" (30 Answers)

Point 1: Kids shouldn't be arguing with their parents - PERIOD!! Point 2: Learning from the internet that it's "OK" to disrespect your elders and in particular, your parents, is exactly why we have a generation of spoiled brats that think they can get away with anything. Point 3: Reddit is used primarily by kids (teenagers and immature adults) - since when do they get to dictate how kids are raised? Do they have more experience at raising children? (Rhetorical question - and sarcasm also).

Harvard Grad Explains The Psychology Behind "Not All Men" So Well, Men Are Thanking Her In The Comments For Opening Their Eyes

It's clear to me that she's a liberally minded, snowflake that subscribes to the idea that all men are evil. Her "Master's degrees" are nothing more than bits of paper given to her by a college that rewards her for thinking the same way that the course instructor does... now let's see her take those masters degrees and use them to get a real job, without blaming men for how useless those degrees are going to be in the process. If she had a degree in engineering, or some other constructive field of endeavors, where the end product is to the betterment of human society instead of aimed at its destruction, then I'd be impressed... but at this point, I'm not.

Mmm, no. Once you're military, you never return to the 'civilian' mindset. And as military (former or current), you're automatically part of my 'family' now. Doesn't mean you're a great person or a horrible person, just that we have a strong shared background and mindset. But that doesn't mean that we are permitted to be abusive. I'd be upset too, getting cut in line, but is that really worth going to JAIL for...?
