Anytime "Killing in the Name" comes up, I have to tell the story of the time I was bringing my oldest to his second week of kindergarten and he requested this song, which was his favorite at the time.

I realized I may have created a problem for his teachers when he started shouting along with Zack "FUCK YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" We had have a little talk about not using adult words at school and how his kindergarten teacher really wasn't the problem with the system.

His second grade teacher, though... My son's anti-authoritarian ~~steak~~ streak served him well, there.

[-] KingGordon@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago

Mmm anti-authoritarian steak.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 months ago

Sounds delicious. Or not. It doesn't care what you want.

When I was in grade 2 my bullies would always make noise in class and our teacher forced the whole class to write lines because of it. I felt this was a deep injustice on two fronts and decided to resist, refusing to write anything.

This kicked off a series of events that lead to me being brought in front of school board officials who made me sign a document stating I wouldn't cause any more problems for the school. I merrily signed it and then once again refused to accept punishment for something I didn't do, and they tried to kick me out.

For some reason the school board was surprised to learn that 8 year olds cannot form a legal contract.

My kids too, except it was Lonely Island's "Threw it on the ground".

It was one of the rare occasions I broke my "Don't laugh when they do bad things" and it encouraged my child to do it as much as possible.

My parents didn't like it AT ALL when I played that album's CD as a teenager. 😁

Didn't CBS and The Late Show have the same issue?

I used to like Rage Against the Machine until they got all political.

What qualifications does Tom Morello have to talk about politics?

[-] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

ITT, people who can't distinguish between idiocy, trolling, sarcasm, and very dry humor lol

I see you, Norm McDonald

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Norm McDonald is dead and I'm very much alive.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

This prompted me to look at his Wikipedia page a bit. Thought it was interesting that he has a bachelor's degree in political science from Harvard.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Harvard is a well-known liberal school.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You mean it's a school of higher education. That's craaaazy.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

It's liberals teaching people to be liberals too.

Society... progressing? Wild idea!

Nothing should change after September 17, 1787.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You mean the day the constitution was signed? That document that was designed to be amended because the founding fathers had the foresight to see that the world changes and our documents need to change and evolve with them?

Fucking moron.

[-] felixthecat@kbin.social 17 points 10 months ago

He is obviously being extremely sarcastic....

Shouldn't have to spell it out yet here we are.

Yes, we had all the laws, technology and medications that are needed on that date.

Everything after that has been too liberal for my tastes.

Weak troll is weak.

The first one was fine, imo. It was sticking to the bit that killed it.

[-] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

Thank you for your facts, SatansMaggotyCumFart

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

It's a real shame he named himself that. If it weren't for such an obvious troll name, we might have fallen for the bait.

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Seems more than a few people did lol.
