Dostoevsky, whose work is often considered a philosophical precursor to existentialism, often expressed a similar concern in his novels. In The Brothers Karamazov, the character Dmitri Karamazov asks his atheist friend Rakitin, ”...without God and immortal life? All things are lawful then, they can do what they like?” Raskolnikov, the anti-hero of Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment, puts this philosophy into action when he kills an elderly pawnbroker and her sister, later rationalizing this act to himself with the words, “...it wasn’t a human being I killed, it was a principle!

Originally posted by Mike BrewerThis may be one of your best posts ever. Ever. What you alluded to but didn't spell out is that we have a responsibility to be the examples we expect from our youth. We need to be strong and consistent, compassionate and caring. We also need to have a realistic view of respect and what it means, and we need to replace their skewed views with more realistic ones. great content, TL. I'd rep you, but I guess I still need to spread some around!
1) hold them accountable for their inappropriate behavior
2) don't hold them accountable for their inappropriate behavior
I try my best to ignore tantrums (I respond to "THIS ISN'T FAIR" with "That may be true. And I still expect you in your seat keeping your hands to yourself" (or whatever)... I let them know I'd be happy to discuss the situation with them when their voice is as calm as mine...
I don't know exactly where I'm going with this except that I think "try not to get on anybody's bad side in case they go postal"--if that's the complete policy, it's a bad one that leaves you open for manipulation and acting based on fear instead of on consistent principles.

for example, just the other day i saw this picture of this crackhead bum passed out on the street on some garbage, next to some pigeons, while another crackhead bum was sucking him off as they both lay in the gutter. after i was done shaking my head in disgust, i realized that hey, i dont have it so bad. i get to sit in a warm house, and eat food, and smoke good weed all night long. it mad me thankful for not being worse than i am. im going to send you the picture garland so you can elevate your self esteem a bit, if thinking about jubaji being in charge of teaching children and tom yum being the 40 year old virigin didnt do it for you already.

Originally posted by DickHardman View Postat least im trying to help, all you do is bust the same 3 or 4 one liners over and over again so tom yum and the rest of parrot chorus can all give you positive reps and tell you how hilarious the one liner you just said was, despite the fact that he has already heard you use it four or five hundred times in your 7000+ posts.
I don't agree with some of the things jubs says, but I'm sure he's applied himself offline considering his skill level in grappling and the path he's gone with those skills.
