ANGRY MINUTE #0023: Reliving Angry Minute History (3 of 4)
Tis the season of giving 
This Holiday (not christmas, as Holiday is the traditional celebration for all FSMers) I wanted to look back at a year that saw Angry Minute be born. Angry Minute was actually created on Jan 28th 2009 through the Notes Application in Facebook. It was SOOOOOO popular that the website had to be created. Because of this there are actually several AngryMinutes that were NEVER posted on this website.
So with these last 4 weeks of 2009 I want to post the top 4 Angry Minutes that were never posted on this website. MERRY HOLIDAY BASTARDS!!!

ANGER TOPIC: Taking Parental Responsibility
(originally posted on 03/25/2009)
You know what gets under my FRAKIN skin? When parents blame everyone except themselves or their children! Because FSM knows that your brats can’t do anything wrong!
FRAK THAT!!!
Parents love to play the dumb card. They love to say, “I can’t watch my kid all the time”, “My kid’s a good kid”, and “I want to be their friend, not their enemy”. Um… YOU ARE THE PARENT! It IS your job to watch you kid AT ALL TIMES (you are RESPONSIBLE for them after all). Even the best kids do the worst things under pressure, so the kid needs a PARENT to keep them in line and not a friend (kids have plenty of friends, but they are very limited on parents).
Let’s take a look at this with a three prong story edition of THE LIST OF ANGER!!!!!
LIST OF ANGER:
1. Being Their Friend: So I was watching “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” yesterday and they did this segment about Spring Break. They had an 18 year-old girl who wanted to go to Mexico for Spring Break, and her parent was actually going to let her! The Government has released a notice telling Americans to STAY AWAY from Mexico for Spring Break because of the kidnappings, murders, and all that FUN AND CRAZY STUFF! But this bubbly blond wanted to go “have fun” without her mommy anyway. I guess that would be fine if the 18 year-old wasn’t saying things like “I want to party with my friends” and “I should be able to make my own decisions”. And the amazing part is the parent was actually leaning towards letting her go EVEN THOUGH the parent works for a lawfirm and has seen first hand what these heathens do during Spring Break. Why is that? Because mommy didn’t want to be the parent, she wanted to be the friend. And I know what you are gonna say; “The chick is 18, she is legal and can do whatever she wants.” NO! NO! NO! She is a senior in high school, and she still lives at home so that makes the PARENT IN CHARGE! Yet the parent doesn’t want to be in charge, they want to be friends. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHILDS FRIEND!!!! Also, just because your kid is 18 DOES NOT MAKE THEM AN ADULT! (http://www.mandjshow.com/show-recaps/tuesday-march-24-mj-investigates-spring-break/)
2. Taking Responsibility: This is a tragic story. Jessica Logan was a sweet 18 year-old who decided that she wanted to up her game with her boyfriend of a couple months so she took sexy nude photos of herself and sent them to him over the phone. Well, the loving and caring boyfriend forwarded those photos and eventually hundreds of kids in the Cincinnati High School had seen Jessica’s goods. The children then started to taunt her, making fun of her no matter where she was. Jessica was so distressed because of the taunting. They called her a slut, a whore, and probably YOUR MOM. What horrible things to say to a girl who wasn’t a whore… she just wanted a man she had been dating for only a few weeks to view her sexy and luscious body as an object for him to conquer and own. (Um… isn’t that what a whore is???). In any case she couldn’t take it anymore so she took her own life, not thinking of the ones she loved. She did the EXACT SAME THING when she messaged her boyfriend nude cell-phone photos of herself (she was selfish). She was only thinking of herself and how she wanted to get her boyfriend (who she’d only been dating for a month or two) all hot and bothered so they could go roll in the hay (that’s slang for bumpin uglies, horizontal mambo, or even the famous doin’ it). But that isn’t what really bothers me (though it does, and will be an Angry Minute at some point). What ANGERS me is the parents, after all of this, still think THEY DID NOTHING WRONG! Let me quote her mother, Cynthia Logan: “My only baby that I will never be able to touch again. I will never have grandchildren. I will never be able to hand down my heirlooms. I’m just devastated by these parents that allow their children to do and say anything they want.” Um… EXCUSE ME?!?!? You are devastated that these parents let their children do and say whatever they want? Yeah, um… YOU ARE ONE OF THESE PARENTS ASSHAT! You let your daughter do whatever she wanted!!! She posed for nude photos, sent them to a man she’d only been with for a short period, and then killed herself because she didn’t know where to turn. SHE SURE AS HELL DIDN’T TURN TO YOU!!!! Sounds like she did what she wanted. YOU gave her life, YOU gave her the phone, and YOU gave her moral direction. Kids tease, THAT IS PART OF LIFE PEOPLE! If Jessica had been raised to know better she wouldn’t have been in this position in the first place. TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY! I don’t care if you tell me she was a good kid, because PROOF shows us something a bit different. It only takes one moment to turn a good kid bad. ONE FRAKIN MOMENT!

3. Punishment: And here is the REAL problem. Parents think that there kids are special and don’t need disciplined. You see it all the time. Think of the kid throwing the tantrum at the grocery store because he wants a candy bar. I’ve seen parents SO LAZY that they don’t want to deal with the embarrassment so they buy the item for their child. WHAT THE FRAK!?!?! Or have you ever been out to dinner and you see that parents dealing with their children who are throwing food, acting like animals? What do these parents do? They calmly say “Now that’s not nice. Don’t throw your food.” YOUR KID NEEDS A GOOD OLD FASION ASS WHOOPIN! When in the FSM’s name did we allow our children to act like heathens? If I even thought about doing something bad I got beat! “But that’s abuse” some may say. No, that is PARENTING! If your kid is a monster it is YOUR FAULT! YOU ARE A BAD PARENT! Now I know there are some cases where this may not be true (some kids are bad, no matter how amazing there parents are) but the majority of these kids are doing whatever the hell they want because no one is giving them a reason not to. If there is no real punishment then what is to stop them from doing whatever they want. You’re kids DO NOT have the right to be out in public annoying me or others. THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! As a child I knew that I was to behave in public, to be on my best behavior. I feared my mother and father (and I still do) but now I’m older I have THANKED THEM for beating me and giving me moral direction. They wanted me to be able to make GOOD CHOICES. They are my PARENTS and they treated me as there CHILD. And I STILL behave myself because even though I’m an adult my mother will still pull my pants down and beat me if I act up. BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME! If you DON’T beat your child YOU ARE A BAD PARENT. PERIOD THE FRAKIN END!
========================
POSTANGER:
Being Their Friend – There is plenty of time to be their friend once they are grown up and are mature (I say that is around 22-23 years old). You are the parent, not the friend. Kids need a parent and if you don’t be their parent then they will grownup to not know the difference between right and wrong. Be their friend later, be their parent NOW.
Taking Responsibility – It is easy for parents to not blame themselves, but the truth is that it’s your kid and your responsibility. When your kid does something wrong that is your fault. I know kids will be kids and all that junk, but you are the parent. If my dog bit you who would be held responsible? I would, because it is MY dog. It is YOUR kid, so it is your responsibility. Be active with your kids, be involved in what they like, and learn EVERYTHING that they are interested in. If you are not a proactive parent then you aren’t really a good parent.
Punishment – No one wants to spank their kids, but it has to be done. I know I’ll get flak on this, but I’m a firm believer that sometimes physical punishment is needed. There is a time and place for it, but it is needed to raise a good kid. If you don’t use physicality then you are showing weakness to your child, and they will use that to their advantage to get away with whatever they want. Don’t believe me? Yeah, probably cuz you weren’t beat and think you turned out just fine. Delusion is fun isn’t it?
