Old man at Walmart punches kids with a key protruding from his fist. Said it gave him a thrill with their parents so close. Deeply disturbed f--cker.

That is so weird that I am not even mad at him... I just can't pass the weirdness feeling... it so... god, my brain is going to melt.

In tomorrow's news:
Sixty-eight-year-old Ralph Conone was beaten to death after he struck a six year old boy with his fist. The father who beat Conone to death is being hailed as a hero. Walmart employees had a hell of a cleanup on aisle 6.

I, too, agree with the death penalty as a punishment for assault.
Assaulting someone with a sharp piece of metal in between your fingers could easily result in death or maiming... if the reverse happens one would have a hard time condemning it...

Since he used the key and not just his hand maybe it is a form of Piquerism
I read the article on Albert Fish (links from Piquerism). Wow...[/QUOTE]

Oh, and on the story in the OP ... words cannot express how sick that is.

Piqurism is pretty fascinating.... and horrifying. It just seemed weird to me that the guy enjoyed smacking the kids so much... I thought maybe he REALLY enjoyed it so first thing I thought, Piqurism.

Wasn't there a news story recently about a priest/teacher who got jollies pricking kids with syringes?
Oh wait, here it is: Chinese teacher pricked 63 children with syringe. And now I know there's a name for it. Thanks, Wikipedia!

Is there a medical procedure for surgically removing the skin, muscles and ligaments from his hands and grafting/sewing/stapling them to the insides of his fingerbones? Or the best approximation therein? Because that gets my vote.
I'd do the same... put him in a jail that's full of jewish criminals... poetic justice >>>> execution.

Just for Charlie let me clarify my previous statements.
Even though most of us talk big here we probably wouldn't kill him. But I think most of us would fuck him up pretty good until the cops got there. I get riled up about once every 10 years or so but when I do it tends to be spectacular. Last time was a guy wanting to brawl over a fucking parking space at my apartment. He just wouldn't let me walk away. I nearly went to jail for assault - until my neighbors came out & informed the cops that the guy was the instigator.
That would be mild compared to what I'd do to someone attacking my kids.

I approve of rolling over and letting people assault children.

That guy is seriously messed up. I mean what kind of individual gets a thrill out of hitting kids?

The Lovely Boehner
If we, as society or as people, torture or beat the shit out of people that do heinous things, we're no better than they are. I in no way think he should get away with it, or be allowed to keep doing horrible shit.
#28
sixpackshaker
Are we going to ask him nicely to quit hitting our children?
Some liken being locked in a 6x10 foot cell as a form of torture. I know I'd go nuts if I was locked in a small cell for years at a stretch.
I'd feel better about myself as a person if I protected a child from violence, than I would if I enacted violence against a child.

"I say! You there punching and stabbing my child with a key, stop that this instant! That is simply no way to behave! Harrumph!"

You shouldn't call someone a pussy as a synonym for cowardly or weak-willed. :humph:[/QUOTE]
One could argue the term pussy derives from the phrase 'scardey-cat', in which case he'd be merely calling you cowardly or weak-willed based on the observation that felines will not fight animals many times their own size.

You should not use the term e-thug to describe some one that would intervene during a violent altercation. You do know know if they are Hindu Cultists...

It's being pretty obtuse to think that today, now, adults think of cats when they hear the word pussy.

When I call someone a pussy I mean catlike. Skittish, afraid, cowardly.... although I have a cat who is none of those things but in general cat= fraidy cat= pussy.

You guys do have a point, but I think more people that use pussy as a pejorative mean it that the person is not brave like a woman. Like the counterpoint to saying someone has "huge balls" for doing something brave.

Yeah, but a charging bull makes you shit your pants while a charging rat will probably shit itself midcharge.
I just realized that they made a movie about when Charlie and I first meet:
I love you, man!

I suppose. Bulls are scary, I have had to run away from a couple. But I don't associate their scary or tough nature with their balls. I have also run from moody castrated bulls.

Well to counter, I think you're dense if you suggest that using that phrase always carries with it sexist undertones.

The thing with sexism is that a person who is not sexist can use sexist phrases and still not be sexist but a person who is sexist, everything he or she says is sexist regardless of what it is. The meaning and the person matter.

I actually have no clue where "weenie" comes from. But I do try not to call people "pricks" or "dicks" when they're being brash or mean or what-have-you, since it's misandrist in the same way.

I guess? I don't know I can never tell when you are being serious or not.[/QUOTE]
I'm not. But I seriously do think the idea of walking on eggshells to be overly PC and please everyone is pretty stupid. Pussy and 'nut up or shut up' are pretty common vernacular slang, and while they are rooted within sexist principles (that is gender roles), the use of them does not inherently make one sexist or indicates that one is using those terms in a sexist manner exclusively.

I feel so much more enlightened.
You probably think that the term "he has a chink in his armor" is racist too.
Awe, don't feel too bad. That was Daffy Duck's primary insult to Bugs Bunny.

The word chink literally means imperfection. Niggardly is also a word you can use, I remember hearing Rush Limbaugh whine about that a lot too. But testicles do not magically make you a stronger-willed person!

There are a lot of sayings floating around that seem harmless unless you either think hard about it or do some research. I think there's a Cracked article about it.

Yes they do. Testicles produce testosterone, which in layman's terms is the juice that makes you go APE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to think I've been ignoring this thread. What was I thinking?
You know what I think of when I hear the word pussy in that context? Someone weak-willed. Not that they are a woman's vagina or a cat. It has a meaning of its own now. It may be based in one or the other but it now has its own connotation based on context.
Big brass balls means that they are brash and very manly in the ideal of not taking shit from anyone or being brave. It pretty much literally means that they are above average in their breeding qualities. Granted, it's now used for anyone brash - even women. But it's still totally dependent on context.
And if you hit my kid prepare for a fight. Well, maybe not so much any more, but when they were 6, yes.

I think Charlie's simply saying that we should take no measure beyond that required to make him stop doing it again. Solitary confinement is unpleasant, yes, but that's a side-effect rather than the explicit purpose.
I only very recently realized that "gyp" was a racist thing to say.
I won't deny it, though. I haven't stopped saying it.
I'm also going to find it difficult to not use "Niggardly" a lot, now that it's been re-brought to my attention. But then, I once called Moses "One Genghis Khan motherfucker," in a bible study. I've been trying to get past my 'let's rock the boat to see who falls out' thing ... but sometimes you just want to see people fall out of a damn boat.
OMG all those years that my dad was doing that racist activity. OH THE SHAME.[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about? He said cotton picking or he actually picked cotton?
Because cotton picking as an insult definitely had racist origins because the cotton pickers were primarily black people even after slavery.
Yeah gyp got me too and welshing on a bet. Many common terms came from derogatory ones.

I believe 'puss' and 'pussy' actually started out as slang for 'little girl' way back when. How it ended up meaning 'mouth,' 'cat,' or '(another thing which looks kind of like a mouth),' I have no idea.
The teacher, Stephanie Bell, said she used 'niggardly' during a discussion about literary characters. Parent Akwana Walker, who is black, protested the use of the word, saying it offended her because it sounds similar to a racial slur.

I have a hard enough time remembering that it's not 'entomology.' It's my biology background showing through. As to whether it's hella-fun, that'll depend on whether the committee ratifies it, to start.
