Sure, when your son punches someone on the opposing team during a kid’s hockey game he’s “defending his teammates honor”, but when I do it I’m “assaulting a minor” and “not allowed within 300 feet of a school” by a so-called “judge”.
I thought this was America!
The correct solution is to wait for the game to start, then wait for that player to get the puck. And that’s when you go in for as solid a body check as you can. Once they get the puck it becomes fair game to check them and you won’t get in trouble for it.
It’s like a boxing match: you wait until you’re in the ring and the bell dings before laying in to them.But then they might not know why they got hit.
Call him a ‘fucking whore’ as he picks himself up off the ice.
Eh. I agree with the sentiment, but it’s weaker behavior than the instant punch. You implicitly agree that “fucking whore” is an insult, if you do that.
Exactly this. The fuckstick needs to know why he got hit.
OP didn’t mention the obligatory “who the whore now fuckwad?”
spits tooth… “Your mum.”
makes you spit another tooth
Oh, he will. You tell him.
Why did he even get kicked out? It’s hockey. Fighting is only 5 minutes in the box.
I watched a fight once, and suddenly a hockey game broke out.
Not every league allows fighting, some leagues don’t even allow checking
Might be field hockey though
Ref: “what are you, as his parent, going to do about it?”
Parent: “well, he really likes the movies, so I think I’ll take him to see the lastest blockbuster.”
Have a good about when it’s acceptable to use violence, and then buy him icecream.
Lol, I think you a word
Yeah, Its a common problem for me… Me not word well
*accidentally
the whole can?
When my nephew was a little kid he got suspended from school. My sister and her husband were working, but I was still in university so I offered to go pick him up. Turns out he’d done exactly this on the playground so I took him to McDonald’s and bought him Lego on his day off.
Hockey skills are life skills
My kid would get a Disney trip for something like this
That’s what I’m talking about, just keep escalating untill someone draws a gun!! Pride and ego RULEZZZ!! FUCK YEAH, VIOLENCE! /s
Why in the flying fuck would you ever care what some fuckstick in the opposite team shouted at you or your friends? Responding to words on the field with violence is so fucking dumb and this whole appreciation thread feels even dumber. Just shout back that his mom was a whore in retaliation if you really need to reciprocate, and then proceed to score more points than the opposite team.
Sometimes, horrible little fuckers just need a punch in the mouth
And if they always did get punched in the mouth maybe the world would be just a little less fucked up than it is.
Imagine the utopia where everyone just punches people who violate their moral standards
Yeah, that would be much worse than the world we live in now. Where everyone who can, just enslaves and coerces people for 8 hours a day, regardless of whether they violate their moral standards. (/s)
The amount of violence already normalized in this world, is enormous. Calling someone a “fucking whore”, is a serious gendered insult, in a world that seriously allows and ignores the assault, rape, and murder of women, as well as their economical life being lived on a short leash. He was reminding her her place.
But when the violence is turned against the not-woman, don’t worry, institutions will be there right away! (/s)
All violence is violence, don’t selectively ignore shit.
Using your children for your made up feel good story is weird
All these clowns in this thread supporting the kids actions when I know none of you are doing shit like this in your daily life. Put your ass on the line next time someone insults someone else if you really think this is appropriate retaliation. In fact I would say you’re either a hypocrite or a liar if you don’t throw hands next time you hear a insult.
I don’t get to hear that shit in my daily life. The moment I do, I will find out whether I am as awesome as this kid.
Huh? Why does supporting this kid’s actions necessarily imply one would do the same? Why are you so bitter?
Why wouldn’t you do actions you support? Either lying or hypocritical like I said.
You also just publicly admitted you don’t attend you kids games, shitty parent.
Sure, because people never work hourly jobs that they can’t get days off from, and they never have multiple children who have events on the same night, and they never have younger kids they have to stay home with while the other parent go to the event.
And that’s assuming this parent wasn’t at the hockey game. It’s totally possible that she was, but she couldn’t hear why the punch happened because she was too far back and the comment was too quiet.
Escalation to violence is never acceptable. Tell it to the referee or police instead.
Sir, this is a Lemmy’s.
Fantasy violence against baddies is mandatory.
Violence in defense of the innocent is always acceptable.
Actually, in hockey it’s literally acceptable. Like, there’s rules for the fighting.
Unfortunately a closed fist speaks louder than an open mouth when a person has no intention of listening…
A closed fist results in another closed fist. This attitude is why we have wars.
The paradox of tolerance is lost on you
You’re a coward
Literally Hitler!!1!one
We know why wars happen in the modern age and it isn’t people punching each other, actually.
That’s not entirely true, war is far more complex than that…
My point is/was that sometimes a short sharp shock delivers one of two outcomes: it either clarifies someone’s mind or teaches them the important lesson that words have consequences.
I can’t stress enough that it is a final resort though. All other avenues need to have been fully explored first.
Well, as far as misogyny goes, all other avenues have been explored. Extensively, and repeatedly, through more than 100 years of feminism literature and praxis, discussions, and real world research.
Violence has its place, and when the other person is dehumanizing you, that is almost always the place.
In order to explore other avenues, the other person needs to regard you as an equal. For those with authoritarian/fascistic/bigoted leanings among us, the only way for that, is consequences, because the only thing they care about, is consequences.
You do realize the police are only there to protect the state and capital, not you, right? They’re more likely to escalate to violence than most regular folk, they’re trained to treat everyone as a potential threat. The idea of calling the police over someone calling another person a whore is utterly ridiculous.
The reason why there’s so much shitty stuff happening in 'Murica right now is this attitude
Consequences must be immediate
The reason people stormed the capitol is because they think they have the moral high ground and can sidestep the justice system. Consequences can be immediate even if you tell the referee.
No, it’s because the President told them to do it.
And they (mostly rightly) thought that meant they could sidestep the justice system.
And the reason why the pedophile rapist got elected is because usians did not make an example of those idiots storming the capitol immediately.
Violence is never the answer, but some people are not asking questions; some people are looking for consequences.
I’m not going to waste any more time on you
You’re a coward
Please go grow a real spine and an understanding of how the world actually works.
You do realize that being obnoxious to people who don’t share your support of violence as a teaching method, undermines your whole position? It makes you sound like one of those “I was spanked and I turned out OK” people who did not, in fact, turn out OK.
I’m painfully aware of how the world works. Your attitude is why the Israel-Palestine conflict persists.
The question is how can we make world work better? One way is teaching our kids not to escalate conflict into violence.
Amount dislikes this comment got pains me We should teach children to resolve verbal conflicts without physical retaliation, not reward behavior of escalation to physical violence
Calling someone a “whore” isn’t a disagreement, it’s violence.
It’s hockey.
Who will then do absolutely nothing
If that’s true then that’s a separate serious problem that needs to be addressed, but it can be done without violence.
Cheng Xin, is that you?
