Killer

I'm not much into chain mail, hoaxes, stories from unknown sources and other assorted email inbox crap. I like to hear real stories from real people. So on that note, I begin.

I have a friend. Yes, she is real, she is not made up in my mind (shocking, I know!) She is the neatest person. She is a wife, mom, a college student & overall swell lady. She is beautiful, sassy, & knows how to accessorise. She also works at a maximum security prison. (well, technically, she is in an internship. She shadows professionals as they council the inmates) She LOVES working there. She says she feels safe & respected. Since she 'works" with the counselors, the inmates treat her well. She is viewed as someone who "helps" not hurts the inmates. So for the most part, inmates will talk to her about politics, prison closings, food and how beautiful her breasts are.........hey man, it's still prison! What did you expect? A teddy bear tea party?!

This is an essay she got at the prison. She does not know who wrote it. It is handed out to all the guys who take the Lifestyles Redirection course that she has been helping with. Now I pass it on to you. So now you have heard this unknown author story from a friend-of-a-chick-who-writes-a-blog. You can then pass it down & it can become a story from a 3rd-party-once-removed-cousin-of-the-carwash-guy.

How to raise a killer without really trying.

Have you ever thought about raising a killer son? No? While it does take some effort and a little like, it's actually not that difficult to do. Just in case you would like to try, the following guidelines will help you get started.

First of all, to keep your son from becoming a wimp, he must learn the rules of the masculine code. If he cries, acts scared or is sensitive, act disgusted and shame him immediately by calling him a weakling, a sissy or a wimp. No matter what's going on inside of him, he should always appear tough, cool and in control. To accomplish this, teach him the masculine poker face that hides fear, hurt, sadness, anger, excitement and even joy. As he learns these and other manly qualities, it's also important that you never let him feel like he's good enough. Shame and humiliate your son every chance you get. Criticize him until he believes he'll never get it right. Poor self-esteem and a sense of shame are qualities that always seem to be part of a young killer's personality, so don't neglect them.

While shame and low self-esteem are an important part of a young killer's makeup, they are just not enough. Lots of parents shame and humiliate their kids, and while their sons end up miserable, they never kill anybody. But if you add the right kind of discipline and punishment to the mix, the odds are much greater that you may have a young killer on your hands. This brings us to the four main ingredients that serve as the very foundation of a killer's personality: hatred, rage, fear and powerlessness. Now don't be intimidated by the sheer magnitude of having to create all this in your son. It's really not that hard.

Here's how it works. Whenever you feel anger, rage or frustration for any reason, take it out on your son. Scream at him, hit him, whip him or jerk him around when you are out of control with anger. When you hurt and terrorize him with this kind of punishment, you accomplish all four goals at once. Your rage will terrify him because his brain believes you're mad enough to actually kill him. Because you are unpredictable and so much bigger than him, he will feel powerless. And enduring so much physical and emotional pain at the hands of the father he needs to trust will certainly produce some inner rage in the boy. Finally, a boy who is whipped and shamed enough will develop hatred for himself and others. But don't ever let him get away with expressing hatred or anger toward you. If he does, punish him swiftly and surely. Then let him know that he has no reason to be angry at you because it is him and his shameful behaviors and attitudes that drive you into a rage. Work hard to convince him that you're a loving and concerned parent and you're punishing him for his own good because you love him. This way, maybe your son won't grow up to be one of those people who blame their parents for their own misery.

Speaking of blame, it's a great idea for your kid to start out learning how to blame others for the fear and hatred you have stirred in his soul. He can begin by taking out his aggressive, hateful feelings against a puppy, kitten or a smaller kid. This early behavior is a sign that he's on the right track. Then, if you play your cards right, you can have him graduate to blaming and attacking Blacks, women, Jews and others different from him. He'll also learn, by watching you, to abuse the people in his life who displease or disappoint him. Finally, if your son ever wants to talk to you for some reason, don't listen to him. Treat whatever he says with disrespect. Either ignore him or say something that will shut him up. A good example of this might be, 'Where in the hell did you get and idea like that?' Or 'Don't bother me right now, can't you see I'm reading the paper?' 'What's wrong with you anyway? Are you really that stupid?' This way he'll feel invisible, not worth your time, and like he doesn't belong in your world. This can be good because angry, hostile kids who feel worthless and invisible can be pushed into violence if they think it can make them feel important or visible.

Of course, I'm not serious about raising a killer kid. Unfortunately too many young boys are raised so that their angry, aggressive sides are encouraged while their tender, vulnerable sides are discouraged. It's time the mainstream of our society realized that most of the violent kids are not generated by the Internet, television, movies or video games; they come from violent or emotionally destructive families.

Think about it.
How many times have I ignored my child? Rolled my eyes, been annoyed by their crying, let them hear me while I raged about something? We all have done it....in some form or another. Are we raising killers? I hope not.
