As a parent of three bright children with excellent development reports your comment makes me want to do you considerable violence. Regardless of whether my children were skilled in mathematics or not, if I overhead your derisory attitude to kids learning abilities I would probably punch your teeth out.
And no, I wouldn't be sorry. Sometimes violence is the best teacher and learning not to refer to other peoples children that way is probably far more valuable a lesson in life than your highschool trig.
Just remember, for every child you refer to as a burger flipper - X probability will have fathers standing 6' 2", weighing 240 and a former linebacker.
- tks2103 12y agoYour propensity for violence is likely the least impressive thing about you.
- ZenPro 12y agoYou are right. It is. Thank you for the compliment.
- BWStearns 12y agoPossibly excessive snark but I'm having a bad day so screw it. I find it ironic that ZenPro is so quick to violence. That said insulting people's children is never nice, but everyone is someone's child so sometimes it's a necessary evil.
- jonpeda 12y agoWhen you go Pro, it becomes all about the money and not about the spirit of the Zen. ZenAmateur may be less skilled, but more desirable. > That said insulting people's children is never nice, but everyone is someone's child so sometimes it's a necessary evil. Making broad prejudicial statements is never a necessary evil. There are plenty of ways to make accurate statements without insulting people or exaggerating their weaknesses.
- ZenPro 12y agoI never said I was quick to violence. I am normally a very calm person. That comment was ridiculous. In this regard we define "someone's child" as a non-adult. Technically an adult is someone's child but it is unlikely they require their parents protection in some way so in the spirit of the comment it is fallacious to include adults in the reasoning. Simply insulting kids under the age of 10 and pigeon-holing what they will do in life based on a narrow prejudice deserves a hiding frankly. It also neatly sidesteps the phenomenal salaries that people in the fast food industry can earn if they want to progress. In addition, Zen is not the opposite of violence. Actually, it is one of the aims prior to entering into martial combat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushin
