Today's 'shit on booju that makes me sick' post...
The main post asks the question, 'What would you do if your child was a nerd?'
This and all of that poster's replies make me want to puke, choke a bitch, or both.
Yeah, force your kid to be a jock or a cheerleader. Fuck individuality, we all know what matters is being popular.*
This bit of a post from firecrest pretty much sums up how I feel:
Cos you know, life is all about school and how you are at school is REEAAALLY important. Heres news for you. Im a geek and I love it. I dont give a shit that my social life at school was crap. I dont enjoy the company of boring people with average IQS who have nothing to talk about but who they fancy and how much they drink, and if I had a child who did I would be pretty disapointed.
In case anyone wonders, yes, I was a nerd in high school. Did I miss being popular? Hell no; I thought the popular kids were boring as hell.
*I have nothing againt jocks or cheerleaders, the point is I think it's fucking stupid to force a kid to participate in those things just so they 'fit in'. It also severely tweaked me that the commenter refered to sports as basically being for boys - they can kiss the cleats of my two soccer-playing daughters, thank you very much.
