TROPHY CASE

What makes you mad that your friends (who are parents) do with their kids. by wythstylesin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 0 points1 point ago

I slapped one of my kids in the face while getting him ready for school one stressful morning (kindergarten). It devastated me. I started sobbing so much, all four of my kids were trying to comfort me--including the one I hit. I immediately made a doctor's appointment and got on meds for PMS. The lowest point in my parenting as far as I'm concerned, but it became a family joke--mom hit one of her babies and she's the one who was traumatized.

Just last week my son (the one I hit) and I were talking about it (he's 22 now) and he said to me that he was being a shit and deserved it. I don't agree, but was grateful that even this many years later, he tried to make me feel less guilty about it.

Incidents like this always make me wonder what they do to their kids at home if they hit them in public like that.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

it's not the place of the state to murder anyone.

Very well said.

What difference does what you wear have on learning?

Whats more important to you? Someone that will just listen to you, OR somone that will tell you the truth? Why? by rad_surfiein AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 1 point2 points ago

I already know the truth. I just need an ear to listen.

What would you prefer; to be a bit dumb and ignorant but happy or aware of certain things with a decent knowledge but forever alone? by ohmyd33rin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 1 point2 points ago

I've wished for ignorance every now and then since I was a teen. Being so aware of the shit that is going on around you can make you feel so incredibly lonely at times. That said, I prefer smart and unhappy over the alternative.

WTF do men want for Valentines Day? by cupcakesandshitin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 5 points6 points ago

Fuck. First thing that came to mind verbatim. Although I do think I have done a decent job at both.

100% against. It's barbaric.

How many redditors out there do smoke drugs, and support the legalization movement? by jmduganin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 0 points1 point ago* 

Just took a hit (smoked--I never have, nor will I inject) of black tar heroin as I type. I do it maybe once a week, if that much. My body; my choice.

Edit: Grammar. Hey, I was high ;)

Men of Reddit: Can you please help a *very* confused girl out? :*( by [deleted]in AskReddit

I've lived a sheltered life.

Is it normal to be sore the day after having a dry heaving fit? by TroggyDin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 1 point2 points ago

Muscles you don't normally use were involved. The soreness will fade away in a day or two.

Reddit, I'm sick of negativity in the world. What is your favorite thing about your life and why? by awkwardsparrowin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 0 points1 point ago

I can't even imagine. This go 'round hasn't been good enough to make me want to do it again.

I'm too lazy to look it up. Who the fuck is Ted Williams and what is the relevancy?

How/ why does the U.S. demonize Iran? by questiontouteschosesin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom -1 points0 points ago

When you get down to brass tacks, it's all just shit based on the teachings of folklore. The Middle East is fucked up beyond words; Muslims, Jews and Christians.

I wonder if things would be nearly as volatile if oil had no value.

Why are you browsing the "new" section of Reddit right now? by curious_voidin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 0 points1 point ago

I like the diversity--you never know WTF someone is going to ask. One minute I could be commenting on the merits of anal sex and the next about Ron Paul.

If your relationship was on the rocks, and you had a friend you know you could go out with if you were single, what would you do? by confused_friendin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 5 points6 points ago

To cheat or not to cheat. That is the question.

Extradite from relationship #1 first if at all possible. Much less complexity.

I need to not be the only one defending /r/atheism on AskReddit. by GenJonesMomin atheism

[–]GenJonesMom[S] 0 points1 point ago

To be perfectly honest, I'm rarely here. I just always defend the site on AskReddit. I check in a few times here and there; I see nothing like what they're talking about.

Mitt, Newt, or Obama? And why? by smellyinvegasin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 0 points1 point ago

I live on one the most westward points of the coast of CA (born in '57) less than a mile from a nuke plant (shut down now--built on a fault--but the rods remain) We even had a "fall-out" map and were always aware we had become a "target".

John was nothing near the man he could have been if he hadn't been distracted by his dick--RFK was our hope. At least that is how I felt at the time. After Nixon was elected...fuck, let's just get high.

Mitt, Newt, or Obama? And why? by smellyinvegasin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 1 point2 points ago

Trust me, most of the "female demographic" have pretty much figured that. For women voters, it's always nice to have a president you'd actually fuck.

Mitt, Newt, or Obama? And why? by smellyinvegasin AskReddit

[–]GenJonesMom 2 points3 points ago

There's a batch of younger, vocal liberals coming up through the ranks (I'm too tired and lazy to figure out a list of their names). It may take a few election cycles, but I think an FDR, JFK or RFK may come along, but it shouldn't rely on one man. It's the mindset of the majority of Congress and the country that must just plain get pissed off as well.

Shit, I thought the end of the Cold War (as a "Boomer") would be the end of my worries about my country. Fuck. I was so very wrong.
