(22,143 posts)That's a real practical joke. Fucking with your friends is a time honored obligation. And the light switch thing doesn't even make any sense.
Look, shaving the kid's hair in school and putting the dog on the roof are fucked up things but people are sounding like stick up their ass scolds because the man liked to roughhouse with his five sons.
Part of your duties as a father is toughening your boys up. My dad did it to my brother and I all the time. Hell, he did it to all my friends too. Now, he didn't shove food in anyone's face but you had to walk by him to get in or out of the house and there was a fifty-fifty chance you'd be in a wrestling match before you'd get by. His most famous move was getting you in a hold and giving you stubble burn by rubbing his face on yours. Was that abusive bullying? Maybe in this wussified society. But I say fuck no, that was love. There were lessons taught everytime he'd double tap you playing wrist slap or get your hands and make you slap yourself.
Romney is a robotic douche with terrible ideas for the country but I think people are making something out of nothing here.
