Breakin’ Out the Beatin’ Stick!
- December 13th, 2007 4:03 pm
I heard this conversation today, and I’m guessing that if the subject matter isn’t a good enough reason to rant, I’m really not sure what is:
Random Loser Guy: I’m so tired of paying child support.
Random Loser #2: Be Like me, just don’t pay it! *insert nasty redneck laugh*
Random Loser Guy: I would if I knew how to get away with it.
Random Loser #2: I gotta buddy who knows how. I got tired of paying that a long time ago.
Randon Loser Guy: Mine’s $100 a month, I got two girls.
(I hate when people say got instead of have. You probably hate it too.)
This went on for a while. I was forced to listen due to waiting in line for something.
OKAY. Seriously. Nothing makes me want to break out the beating stick more than a deadbeat parent, male or female. What is so damn hard about supporting your children? And seriously, if that loser only had to pay $100 a month, he got out easy. It takes way more than that to support one child, let alone two. Who sits and discusses ways to not support their children? When does this become logical?
AND. AND. How do losers like this find one another to connect in their loseral bliss of friendship? Do they have an inner-magnet that says, “Hey, I’m gonna pull you to someone that is greater than, or equal to, your level of pure suck-ass as a human being!”
Really, the saddest part about this is way beyond the actual conversation. It’s the fact that somewhere out there, there are two little girls that have been spawned from this careless man. Two little girls who probably love him, because he’s their father, and even in the worst of situations that is generally how it works. Two little girls have a dad who thinks $100 a month to assist in raising them is some sort of abomination.
What a loser.
On a related note, the portion of the conversation that began with “I got a buddy who knows…” is representative of the beginning of any conversation in which a bad idea was passed along. Unless it’s “I got a buddy who knows how to do CPR”, I’ve never heard any good come out of those sort of conversations. Maybe you have, who knows.
Either way, I hope that guy somehow manages to have a major attitude overhaul.
I wish people had to take some sort of parenting test before their gametes could merge with those of others. There are so many genuine, caring people out there who want to be parents and can not. Yet, some of the scummiest of people are blessed with children.
It’s a confusing world out there.

That’s sad and disgusting.
I know it’s easier said than done, but seriously ..if you don’t want to have kids that you’ll need to pay a MEASLY $100 a month for, don’t have sex. or at least be responsible and use some form of protection.
i guess someone with that vocabulary [saying got instead of have bugs me too ..so much, as well as ..'i don't have no ..blah, blah', instead of any] and lack of responsibility probably wouldn’t have the brain capacity to think of something as simple as using a condom.

People with this mentality need sterilization. And those able to speak about it in public, needs sterilization, puppy style. $100? I bet his beer tab is more than that ever month. Poor kids

Hi Amanda - I couldn’t agree more and I couldn’t have said it better myself. I have a brother-in-law that reminds me of these losers and I have, on more than one occasion, wanted to get out the beating stick and beat him silly over the head!!
So nice to meet you - thanks for coming by and I hope to see you again soon. Kellan

i have a lot of family members like this, maybe you just met one of them. what pisses me off more than anything is that these dead-beat losers don’t know what others have to go through in order to just have a child and they are worried about paying $100.00 a month? please, they need to learn to keep it in their pants.

Wow, what a shame. I feel like hitting them too. I mean $100 a month and he wants to get out of it? He should be so lucky and why is it that these people act like they don’t even care about their own flesh and blood?

my ex stopped paying child support…for over a year! the courts caught up with him. now, he is being forced to pay the regular amount plus another huge load/month…just to catch up on the back missing support! my point…no matter what, the court will catch up with these assholes! hopefully, the mom is on top of it, though, and she makes some phone calls to the court!
these men…these pathetic excuses for men…pretty much always end up getting what they deserve.
as for, how they find each other…my parent had two sayings, when i was growing up…bird of a feather and if you play in shit…you’ll smell like it! so, that’s my reasoning for how they find each other!

I am with ya on this one! How ridiculous! I’ve even had to explain to men that it’s not their right to direct where the money for the child(ren) goes. If they’re healthy, well fed, nicely clothed and have a roof over their head then don’t complain if you don’t know exaclty where the dollars are spent. The money they’re sending is only “replacing,” for lack of a better word, what has already been spent.
You’re right! Why are those types of people “blessed” with children when others suffer so much because they don’t have any?
Good post. … BTW: I wish you had had the beating stick with you.
