Now that I'm older, that whole "stay in a child's place" BS my parents used to pull is dumb

[SirReginald]

Also, I've always been very vocal and opinionated. So, I never really conformed to that agenda. However, I have always respected my elders.

A lot of kids don't know what they are talking about most of the time.

But, if you're a parent it is important to engage the kid instead of saying, "stay in a child's place". I get the saying (it really means, 'keep learning and growing') but the child might not understand.

And anyone that says Goku is stronger than Vegeta is a damn lie. Vegeta as a child was ranked higher than Goku in power. The only reason Goku has a leg up on Vegeta is the specialized training he received as a child and young adult. Vegeta's growth was suppressed by Frieza.

Einstein says that if you can't break something down so that a child can explain it, you don't know it well enough. I agree with that for the most part.

I disagree with that. And I doubt Einstein could breakdown centripetal acceleration to a child.

Exactly, my dad gave me the bill Clinton was the first black president and he was good BS and whenever I asked him to prove it, he'd just go ask other people that are dumbasses like him. Or how he thinks that this generation I'd more violent when stats say otherwise. Legit cut that nikka off because of that.

yeah i respect most elders becouse of what they been through dealing with cacs and strugggles but honestly a lot don't know shyt about this generation and some about even there own. My uncle said malcom x was a fanatic and even my dad had to correct him on that. And when i said he was not at all and malcom x was fighting for our people. his response was little man you wasn't even alive when malcom x was he really belived that since i wasn't alive when malcom x was i couldn't talk about him like breh he was only 9 when x was gunned down

Sure you can. Give them a tennis ball and tell them to spin around with it in their hand. Then tell them to let it go. Easy

 

[KillerB88]

I used to get told that all the time as a child.

Probably still do since you're in your parent's home with no job.

What is the ball's trajectory once you let it go?

When it comes to misinformation that is obviously outright stupidity to people with common knowledge, that exists in every family. Our elders aren't as weary of spotting fake news as we are, whereas others willingly delude themselves. What can you do? Once they're in their 30s it's incorrigible. There's absolutely no way they'll humble themselves and admit they've been living on misinformation their entire lives.


"_____ ____ is a billionaire jew who pays protestors" Oh word? Since you believe that, then how can I get on the payroll?

"That motherfukker Michael Jordan is investing in prisons" According to who?

"Katt Williams aint crazy, the media doing that" No media outlet with enough influence to change perceptions of his sanity even said a damn thing about his ass, only reason we found out was through videos being being shared on twitter, where it was legitimately him, nobody forcing his hand.

and my favorite:
"Cosby was about to buy NBC" So what are the laws that say you can't buy a major television network if you're arraigned for sexual abuse? I've searched high and low and can't find one.

"The earth is flat, the government lying to you, they don't want you to know" Sun round, moon round, stars round, so what's this phenomenon that made everything but us "flat"?

Once you have an answer for all these theories, the paroxysm is just waiting. With people like that there's only two realistic options, even if it seems like there's others. Either remain poker face and play along like you're just as misinformed and on their side, or provoke them to anger by innocuous responses that are undeniable axioms. I've got so many stories like this that came from talking to family members.

[AintNoCrampInYaMouthTho]

I ain't on no hotep shyt but IMO that stems from the slave mentality under white supremacy

By the master telling the slaves to remain in their place in society, the slaves did the same to their children in the household.

All this bullshyt here. I swear some folks try too hard. It was told when your nosey ass was about to interject into a grown conversation. I dont all this other bullshyt yall talking

 

[TEH]

Parents should be constantly teaching children ... anything less is a parental fail ...

 

[O.T.I.S.]

As an adult, I can confidently say most kids don't know wtf they're talking about in regarding adult subjects and situations or there perspective on shyt is not realistic...


So unless you were an EXTREMELY intelligent child (which I doubt most people are/were), then I think it was very appropriate

I for one have nosy ass neices... It's very appropriate if me and my sister are having a convo to tell them to stfu if they intervene with something unintelligent

Children should be seen and not heard was the party line when I was growing up.
