...WTF are you smoking, dude? What, you're going to rape and strangle your kids so that they "grow up tough" or some shit?
Kids are exposed through simply LIVING to far more sex and violence from BIRTH than I was even 20 years ago as a young adult. The average exposure of kids to violence is far greater now than it used to be.
NEVER did we have school shootings, NEVER did we have kids killing their parents. When someone was raped it was a HUGE deal because it just didn't happen. Theft? No.
We ran around outside all the time and we didn't lock our doors because THERE WASN'T A REASON TO. Kids weren't getting abducted constantly and nobody worried so long as the kids were home at night.
You're full of utter and complete shit. KIDS were not exposed to that kind of crap, and the world was a better place.
Now you can't live life without your kids being exposed to it from fucking birth, no matter what you do.
You have it all backwards. Our parents and our generation were stronger because life was simpler and there was far less stress. Kids weren't stressed and parents didn't have to worry all the time about their kids--only about bills and wars and generalized things.
You're living in a fucking la-la land if you think that exposing children to violence is some magic panacea to make them stronger. In point of fact, the opposite is generally the case. Children who had comfortable and positive upbringings tended to be quite a bit stronger--because they had a firm foundation for life. They felt secure and had faith in their parents' ability to protect them.
Unlike children who now have to face the possibility of being shot at school while mom and dad are nowhere around.
Poor kids? WTF does that have to do with anything? Unless you're trying to claim that only poor kids can be thugs, in which case, you classist fuck, go suck your own shit.
