What If...

I beg to differ. I have flipped off my child, but I have never punched my child. My incarceration rate reflects this.

To be fair, tw said "I cannot even recall any peer in a bar fight."

The word "even" modified his "recall" and not the bar fight.

Had he said I cannot recall any peer even in a bar fight.; then, your analogy may have been valid.

You should stop flipping off your child. Failure to take proper care in addressing a child is negligence; however, repeated negligence can constitute abuse. Being an adult acting like a child will not get you juvenile offender status.

BTW: I too have never flipped anyone off or been in a bar fight. I've always considered those things to be the purview of little girly men and little boyish women.

This thread was getting boring. I hope this provocative post livens it up a little.

Obviously one does not mean the other. But both are characteristics of adults acting as a child. You have completely reversed the logic to obtain a conclusion that was never stated or even implied.

henry demonstrates what an adult who is a child typically does (ie a Trump supporter, Dice Clay, Timothy McVeigh, suicide bombers who kill in the name of some pagan god, or the type of people that Hitler preached to). Each do things completely different and unrelated. All share a common factor. They are not operate in an adult manner.

Flying the fickle finger of fate was done by adults who actually mock adult children. Only an adult acting like a child does that. Also irrelevant that you did not yet learn. Relevant is that one would teach their child to act in a childish manner. That is unfortunate.
