Crooked in Canada

Is it any wonder kids are disrespecting authority and committing crime more and more these days?

When I was a kid growing up I was punished for disrespecting my parent’s authority and for getting into enough trouble in the community that the police had to bring me home and/or charge me under the juvenile delinquency act.

Let me tell you something, in the single parent household I was raised in, you did not want to do something that brought on the wrath of my mother, who had no problem giving us kids a backhander, slap in the face or whacks across the ass with whatever was close enough for her to grab when she exploded into her abusive rage. One other thing, my mother didn’t have any problem allowing her many boyfriends and girlfriends smack us around either.

That being said, kids are fortunate these days because their parents can be charged, even thrown in jail for discipline their children the way my mother and her friends disciplined us kids.

I should mention that to the best of my recollection, my father never laid a hand on us kids, but then again he left my mother when I was about 5 years old (knowing what I know about my mother these days, I can’t say that I blame him) and from about the time I was 7 or 8 years old, maybe a little older, my father didn’t have much to do with raising us, and he certainly wasn’t around to protect us kids from the physical abuse my mother subjected my brother, sister and I to until we were big enough and smart enough to defend ourselves against, or avoid her wrath.

Anyway, what’s this shit I hearing about a Quebec court ruling that a father didn’t have the right to punish his twelve-year-old daughter by not letting her go on a school trip? Who the f**k does Quebec Superior Court Judge Suzanne Tessier think she is telling the grade 6 student’s dad that just because his 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER posted photos on a dating site she joined on the Internet doesn’t give him the right to punish his daughter. Are you f**king kidding me? I wonder what the judge would do if it was her 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER (if in fact she has or ever had one) who did such a thing.

I have no doubt in my mind that this man warned his daughter not to play such silly games and to be careful on the Internet, and I’m sure he warned her of not only the consequences of her actions should he find out she had been misbehaving on the Internet, but the dangerous consequences of her actions should somebody on that dating site with something sinister on his or her mind took a fancy to the 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL who joined what was obviously an ADULT DATING SITE.

I think her punishment was entirely appropriate, and I also think that Suzanne Tessier is a totally f**ked up and irresponsible judge for assuming that she knows better than the father of this 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL. As far as I’m concerned the father of the girl should be suing the judge for her failure to ensure duty of care when it comes to such matters, and interfering in what was clearly a family matter that should have never been allowed to go before the courts in the first place.

As for the judge suggestion that the punishment the father meted out was too severe, f**k her. The daughter should be thankful she didn’t grow up in mother’s household because my mother would have likely broken her fingers with a few dozen raps across the fingers with a kitchen utensil or something equally as solid. My mother would have made sure that she never posted another photograph on a dating site again, but in this day and age mommy dearest would have likely been charged if the girl had enough guts to call the police on her.

And last but certainly not least, a proposed law that could see parents charged for spanking their children is headed for the House of Commons after Bill S-209, which is supported by the Liberal majority in the senate, quietly passed third reading. Again I say, “Are you f**king kidding me?”

Who the f**k do these Liberal senators think they are, telling parents they can’t spank their children (I know given the physical abuse I endured at the hands of my mother you would think that I was all for such a bill, but I’m not) when disciplining them for unacceptable behaviour.

Bill S-209 is an utterly ridiculous bill, especially when parents can already be charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon (belt or wooden spoon perhaps), among a plethora of other criminal charges. Taking spanking out of the “Discipline Tool Bag” is a terrible mistake and I hope the Liberal senators who voted in favour of this bill live long enough to see how big of mistake it is should the bill be passed in the House of Commons.

If Liberal senators think youth are out of control now, in 10 years from now they will be even worse, thanks to the inane thought that they think they know what’s better when it comes raising and disciplining children. If they think they know what is best when it comes to such matters regarding parents and the disciplining of their children, where the f**k were they when I was a kid being raised by a mother who got a kick out of smacking her kids around. The Liberals who were in power back then didn’t give a damn about the way children were raised back then, and now that those children have children of their own, they think they know better. Get f**king real Liberals!

That being said, if this bill passes, the youth of today will be raising kids of their own who will be more disrespectful towards authority than they ever were, and youth crime will be spiralling out of control.

Funny, there are calls from people like me to make parents more accountable when their child commits a criminal act, and there are some in the government who agree with that call and are looking into it, yet there are f**king morons in the government, especially in the Liberal Party who think something like that can be accomplished by basically outlawing spanking.

Like I said, Canada already has laws in the criminal code to make parents accountable for physically abusing the children they raise.
