I like the implication that Dracula recognizes Trevor as a Belmont because of how wimpy his punches are.

I like that interpretation more. “Ah yes, this bastard, who’s first instinct upon seeing the world’s most powerful vampire was to punch him in the face. Yes, he’s from that family isn’t he?”

*gets punched in the face*

“There’s only one clan of absolute fucking lunatics in this backwater sty crazy enough to see the avatar of evil and throw a haymaker. Belmont, how’re you doing? How’s the family?”

Now a new study looking at 400,000 youths from 88 countries around the world suggests such bans are making a difference in reducing youth violence. It marks the first systematic assessment of whether an association exists between a ban on corporal punishment and the frequency in which adolescents get into fights. 

[F]or both boys and girls, [prof. Elizabeth Gershoff] said, “We found [spanking] linked to more aggression, more delinquent behavior, more mental health problems, worse relationships with parents, and putting the children at higher risk for physical abuse from their parents.”

“People often ask: Why didn’t you look for positive aspects?” she continued. “My answer is: We did, and there were none. We see consistently that the more children are spanked, the more behavioral problems they have in the years ahead.”

Sure just let your kids do whatever they want lmao

You know there are ways to address misbehavior with children that doesnt involve hitting them.

That’s news to me

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Please don’t advocate hitting children on this post. The entire point of this post is to show that heating kids has dramatically negative effects of their well being and behavior.

All quoting the bible to support hitting children does is remind me why I’m an atheist.

There’s a difference between hitting your kid on the Butt and beating him senseless. I was a victim to the later yet I support kids getting their asswhooped for acting up. Quit being a sissy baby because you had it good

There is no scientific evidence that supports this. All studies show that hitting children ANY amount has negative impacts on their mental health and long term behavior. Its a spectrum of violence with a spectrum of outcomes, and none of them are good.

Get off my post if all you have to say if “I think kids should get their ass whooped.”

I go where I please, bitch

So you have nothing to add and resort to calling women bitches when you are corrected with scientific evidence. Mmmhmmm.

K

Dont expect further replies from me.

I find it very suspicious that after thousands of years of corporal punishment of children, suddenly it’s considered bad. And not only that, but the first generation not to widely receive corporal punishment is a bunch of entitled crybaby bitches.

You know, for thousands of years we also had kids regularly dying of fucking smallpox. Just because something was common doesn’t make it a good thing.

And just because YOU think “kids these days” are “entitled crybabies” (who need to get off your lawn) doesn’t ACTUALLY disprove peer reviewed scientific findings.

I find it very suspicious that over thousands of years we have developed not only physically but socially to gain a better understanding of the world around us and of the human condition and psyche..

Suspicious…

Okay I was punished when I was a kid and I turned out fine. In fact, I learned not to do things a lot more efficiently if I was punished for it. Lets just say some kids need whipping and others don’t.

Question: How do you know which kids need it, which kids don’t, and which kids will end up the opposite of fine?

Genuine question.

You clearly didn’t turn out “fine” if you think it’s okay to beat and intimidate kids when they don’t act how you want them to. And your experience =/= everyone else’s, for everyone of y'all that think it’s okay to hit kids and you turned out “fine” after being hit, there’s plenty that were hit as well and DISAGREE ENTIRELY. Like, that’s some major assumptions you got going on there, thinking that everyone who’s been punished physically will say that it’s “fine” to do it, that people who say it’s not all right “had it good.” Oh wait? You call it “having it good” to not be spanked? But I thought it WAS good to punish your kids physically? Y'all fucking freaks. And before you say shit, yeah, I was punished physically too, and it ESCALATED to so much more than that, like my arm getting twisted and getting screamed in my face, my parent being SATISFIED that I was afraid and crying. I am not a fucking “sissy” I’m a person that doesn’t think it’s all right to VICTIMIZE CHILDREN.

please read. and please reblog.

Please, please read.

3 years ago I wrote a very personal prose piece titled The Morning After I Killed Myself, about a young woman who commits suicide and looks back on the impact it has on her family and friends and ends up regretting her decision. I posted it on my writing blog 3 years ago and it went viral, shared over 300,000 times on my blog and almost a million times on Imgur/Reddit. 

So many people have told me it’s saved their lives.

But I almost wish I hadn’t written it. Because, despite all the good it managed to do, it’s been plagiarized over a hundred times, probably several hundred. I’ve seen dozens of cases of it being stolen and retitled with someone else’s name as the author, cases of it being published in someone else’s book under their name, cases of it being used as song lyrics by a band who claims they wrote it, cases of it being posted nearly ten times on the same website alone and because the website is so enormous they didn’t catch each instance of plagiarism…

Once a girl based her senior art thesis off of my piece…only she accidentally based it off of a plagiarized version of my piece and had no idea. She called me, a complete stranger, in tears, begging me to forgive her for something that was not her fault at all, but the fault of the person who plagiarized me. She had to redo portions of the thesis she worked so hard on.

I’ve had cases of it being submitted to writing contests under other peoples’ names and them winning awards for it. One girl submitted it to the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards and won a gold key for it, coincidentally the same contest I submitted some of my work to in high school and won awards for. What was her excuse? She said she read the piece awhile ago, liked it so much that she saved it to her computer, and when the time came to submit to the contest, she “forgot she hadn’t written it” and sent it in under her name.

I had a case of a stranger who posted it on their blog under their name and when I asked them, politely, to provide me with credit and remove their name, they claimed they’d “written the piece 10 years ago in their private journal and that I was the one who plagiarized them.”

I’ve had cases of people messaging my writing blog and accusing me of plagiarism…of my own piece, because they saw plagiarized versions of it going viral and had no idea I was the original author.

And finally, a few weeks ago, a girl submitted it to a contest under her name and won $100 for it. Now she’s apparently denying plagiarism.

This piece of mine was intended to help people. It’s a very very personal piece and always will be. I’m glad it’s helped so many people. But something that is so personal and painful for me has been twisted and manipulated and stolen and published for profit and taken away from me so many times I’ve lost count. I don’t care about money. But when I saw this girl win $100 for a piece about suicide that I wrote, that is the last straw.

Please, for the love of god, don’t steal from artists and writers. Don’t steal something and claim you wrote it. Write and create your own work. If you see a piece of art or writing floating around with no source or a mis-attributed source, tell the original author. Spread the word. Don’t share artworks without sources on them. 

You might think that it’s not a big deal, that it doesn’t matter, that it only happened once.

But it happens all the time. All the time. This is exhausting and artists deserve credit. They deserve respect.

I’ve considered deleting the writing blog I’ve had for 5 years because of how often this piece is plagiarized.

Don’t let it get to that point, where someone considers getting rid of something they love because it’s hardly theirs anymore.

Thanks for reading.

Important.

So I’ve been ruining my kids lives by saying “weird flex but ok” to everything and when I do it they scream no and tell me they’re running away and I made this lovely photo lemme get it

Ok so I need some help coming up with the absolute worst “to flex on” live memes ever to pretend I’m an even more really lame parent. they don’t have to make sense but they need to be absolutely awful yet believable enough that it isn’t obvious I’m intentionally trying to be more lame

Here’s the ones I came up with so far

“You ever just eat a well balanced diet and exercise daily to flex on heart disease?”

“You ever just boil chilies to flex on your eyes?”

“You ever just be cool to flex on your kids?”

“You ever just use sanitizer to flex on 99.9% of all bacteria and viruses?”

“You ever just turn all the lights and up the heater to flex on Dad?”

Catholic edition:

“You ever just like receive the sacraments frequently to flex on Satan?”

“You ever just like love your Mom to flex on Protestants?”

So I executed the first one in the kitchen then I dabbed and my son didn’t say anything he just set down his pomegranate and walked out the front door with no shoes on and now he’s walking down the street

Ok so I walked down the block and I found him

Update

Your son is named Egg.

Every part of this is hilarious

Sorry for the long post but this is legit one of the BEST movies I’ve ever seen

What movie is this?!?!

Chirin no Suzu / Ringing Bell

Based on a book, it’s a fantastic movie and it’s just 45 minutes long.

Just make sure you watch the original japanese dub and not the english dub, the english dub…   well, they made it ‘for kids’

It’s a very powerful film and one I enjoy and always makes you think

this whole scene deserves to be played out in full

I LOVE THIS

why was i deprived of this perfection for so long? where has this scene been all my life?

reblogging again because jesus i love this

The longer I stare at this, 

 The Harder I laugh.
