So what ethnic group do you fall under? I think that YOU are going to be a terrible parent because of your racist and ignorant mindset.

I believe someone covered you earlier with their "I'm not a racist but..." judgement. I will double stamp that and send it your way.

This.

ps. I've seen parents of all races and ethnic groups be crap parents. Then again, I'd be worried about a parent that was teaching their kid (by example or not) discriminatory mindsets, more than a parent who won't shut their kid up when they're throwing a temper tantrum.

Wow! I've worked with children and parents of all ethnic backgrounds. I've met wonderful parents of all different backgrounds. I've also met some crappy ones of various backgrounds. <div>

This has my stamp of approval.

Not that Mutley needs my approval, but it helps.

Just say no. The world has enough prejudice without you passing yours on.

[QUOTE]<strong>Oh, it's like this was made for me. -I judge people who cannot spell. I may be a snob for it, but one of my good friends consistently misspells the same words "Discusting" "Suppost" "Loveing and Likeing". People constantly correct her and she develops an attitude and says "Yeah, I know. It's my phone." She's a liar. I've seen her type it on a computer as well.</strong> -I also judge people who cannot control their kids. Sure, kids are unpredictable and even the best kids have their moments. That's when you drag their ass out of the store. At the mall the other day, a woman was trying to get her screaming six year old back in her carriage and said "If you sit down, I'll buy you whatever toy you want." Take a parenting course, lady. -I judge people who bitch about other people on facebook, for everyone else to read. Grow up and deal with problems in a grown up way. -I judge people who are closed-minded. I know that is probably the most hypocritical thing you've ever read, but it's the truth. I judge people for their ignorance. I suppose this is all i can think of for now. I'm sure I'll come up with more.

This. If it doesn't hurt the child or mentally scar them in some way, I don't think any of us have the right to judge another culture's child rearing practices. Yeah, within each group, there are probably parents who aren't effective at preparing their children for life, but if you think about it, a child raised in the American style would have a lot of trouble fitting in somewhere in China, for example.

I judge....
