    I thought people acting like this was just a stereotype from the early 1900s and before… what the hell is going on in Texas that this isn’t viewed as a problem? America is so backwards it’s crazy. I would be literally amazed if your dad doesn’t have history carrying a gun, as that goes hand in hand with wanting to be called sir. However, being in the military or being a cop doesn’t allow you to be a cunt, especially to your family.

      This is not limited to Texas. It isn’t uncommon in US red states to legally beat your children as long as it doesn’t reach a certain level of injury (or it does and the abuser pretends to apologize).

      We still have atates that allow school staff to hit children.
