@christm5 Why would someone deserve to get bullied for an accent in your opinion?
@qncsc Life forms …
@qncsc Life forms in general take the path of least resistance. Obviously there is less mental and physical energy required to bully a mentally and physically weak person than to bully a stronger person.
@Textra1 I didn’t …
@Textra1 I didn’t talk about any of that dribble that you just rolled out. I was talking about the catching them young and moulding them into what you want insted of what they will naturally be idiot.
@HalfQ
Yeah, why …
@HalfQ
Yeah, why can’t they just be normal parents; parents who ignore their kid’s emotional needs, drop them off at day care while they rush off to do more ‘important’ things and smack them when they misbehave because they’re too ‘tired’ to explain to the child why the behaviour was unacceptable. I mean, how could trying to nourish a child’s sense of reason and action/consequence understanding possibly produce well adjusted adults. What Bozos huh.
Wow! Great video! …
Wow! Great video! So glad you did this one.
oh yup thats the …
oh yup thats the spirit. brain wash them young hey ??? catch them young..??You guys are nuts. they need to be free thinking and not brain washed at a young age to make your life easy when they get a bit older. Your kids are going to be freaks. and they will need a shrink later in life to learn to be out of your head game freak world.
@stefbot i have …
@stefbot i have watched and listened to 20 of your videos and it never occurred to me that your accent is the exact opposite of a working class one like you said. that is funny to me. i think you did deserved to get bullied for it though to be honest.
“break” — as in, …
“break” — as in, break the spirit of. big problem. i don’t know why some desire to do this. but there is something about “humanity/humanness” that causes or encourages us to prey on the weak. eg, nyc police — my theory is that the weaker you are the more attractive you are to them (vs the perceived power or position you may appear to have). i have many examples of this to refer to. why is there a disposition (in people) to attack the weak? don’t know.
The “launching them …
The “launching them into the world” analogy was perfect. I’m a single father now, but when my son first started school, his mother and I were still together. It was so hard dropping him off at school on his first day. As a parent you have to draw back that bow quite a few times. *grin* I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the post.
you guys are …
you guys are talking “celestine prophecy” stuff. I sure wish you talked to my parents 30 or so years ago.
I so wish I would …
I so wish I would have heard these kinds of things when I was younger. Thank you Stephan for spreading the word.
Oh, for more dads …
Oh, for more dads like these two. My father was a vicious, bullying, violent drunkard loathed and feared by all seven of his children. We were so fully terrorised the memory remained strong and none of us have perpetrated violence against our own.
@newperve Excellent …
@newperve Excellent analogy. Also, I’m so sick of the jokes parents make about ‘bad’ kids and beatings parents ‘have to give’ as if it’s a totally normal part of childhood.
Fantastic show …
Fantastic show Stefan, great work. I’d personally never heard of Dan before, but I’m glad that I have now. Violence is the most counter-productive method of controlling children imaginable, but it is exactly what the state want you to do with your child because it conditions them to their way of thinking. A parents conditioning is evolutionarily the most powerful conditioning a child can receive.
My own daughter is conditioned with love, respect and non-violence. That is my gift to her
@ProjectFreeSelf …
@ProjectFreeSelf thank you

Let the one who has never lost his temper throw the first stone.

This is one of the best FDR videos of 2011

I think the …
I think the question is how _consciously_ the bullied person remembers. Everyone remembers when they were bullied. The more subconscious the memory is the more it has to be dealt without using the conscious or empathetic parts of the mind.
People would never …
People would never make excuses for people in other jobs that they do for parents. If an airline pilot turned up drunk nobody would say “Well you don’t know what stress he’s under at home, maybe his wife left him, etc.”, they’d just say, “You’re not flying the plane.”. But because with parents the ones who (directly) suffer have no power it’s OK. We can avoid responsibility for correcting their bad behavior without any negative cosequence to us (until the kid grows up and steal our car).
Another great show …
Another great show as usual.
Here is another …
Here is another thing to consider… the kids who were the bullies… If they have any conscious at all… they must bare a deep sense of guilt and regret for the pain they inflicted. I can only imagine how putrid they must feel too.

if you look at the science of how human thoughts are formed, you see that first comes the emotion, then comes the action to justify/fit with the emotion – this is why some people never ‘get’ it know matter how intellectually capable they may be
