I’d rather have my kid get suspended for defending themselves or others, than to have them keep getting bullied.
Absolutely!
Handiman Jay | But that way you can lose your parenthood 😂
Tell them that. The school will make it seem like a bad thing to do. This will confuse the child into thinking it’s wrong to defend himself from an oppressor. We need the true learning to happen at home.
Agree 1000%
You will be a good father .
There’s a big difference between starting a fight and defending yourself.
Not anymore
m riggs no biggie great minds think alike
*schools didn't like that*
@Eli Donoso punch the teacher.
Wow!
👍🏼
Sometimes both starting a fight and defend yourself or necessary depending on the situation
I like how the bad guy looks like biff from back to the future.
Yeah, what a coincidence.
Totally.
Classic bully, "Butthead"
Hello,Hello anybody home 😂
I thought SAmE thinG
‘I wasn’t looking to be aggressive or anything’
Literally the most badass masculine manly man in film history.
@Great Cornholio it's used to imply emphasis brother, calm down
Nothing more masculine then a shy lanky freak.
Crackheads
Nah.
@@GabeHolm
No elaborate
Nowadays we get a 2 week suspension for punching back
The schools are fucked up! But then again, a two week suspension isn't bad. You aren't going to learn anything useful in schools now a days! You'll learn a bunch of PC crap and how to be an obedient slave. I would take the two week suspension!
@@markflierl1624 yeah schools aren't like what they used to be. It's just preparing you for bullshit tests, making you be an expert typer, and teaching you wrong shit. And teaching you not to stand up for yourself and instead go tell a teacher who won't do shit.
Or, worse...
maybe even catch a criminal charge because now they go so far as to try and criminalize you
for fighting back under the bs guise of "you took matters into your own hands".
My high school fighting back received something like 5 months of going to the alternative school were you were greated by police officers when you walked in and weren't allowed to speak to any classmates we had very few fights and they were often kept secret
Mark Flierl
Some of crap the pc crap is extremely useful.
Eastwood makes a lot of sense.
But today, especially in school, you can't fight back. You throw a fist in response to the bully and you're in just as much trouble. You both get suspended...
That was true 30 years ago...when I was in high school. But you have to stand up for yourself.
Just make sure the other person isn't packing.
Yeah because you say he started it and the teacher says I don't care who started it both stop. So that is injustice.
@Nick Cages Ballsack
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I don't give a shit if a kid is being attacked or bullied the only answer to these assholes is sssssswwing batta batta batta sssssswwing !!!!
@Kevin Henderson ⬅️runs when someone yells ANTIFA
My old man came of age in the late 50's, and used tell me stories just like Clint described. Almost all of his close friends he met through fighting them. It was like a rite of passage during that time.
That’s crazy what’s even more badass is that Clint is still living here today.
I grew up in the 80s and some of my best friends were dudes I fought. I broke my first best friends ribs lol
"Go ahead, make my day. Punk"
He just says make my day, ur thinking "Do I feel lucky? Well do, ya punk?"
You do realize that he was pointing a prop weapon at an actor while quoting a line that was written by someone else…?
Hey I thought it was great entertainment. That’s all it was. Entertainment.
@@theQuestion626 Only annoying liberals would allow somebody to slap them and turn the other cheek to slap the other cheek and not defend themselves... No I don't promote shooting up Wal-Mart or college university campus one bit n fact , But I promote and advocate that you get what you give ...
@@jarvisblay9025 and only narrowminded conservatives would believe that violence is the answer to virtually every dilemma. No I grant you have a person hits you you hit them back. Or you could do the sensible option and that person hits you you could have them charged with assault?

Every night, when Chuck Norris goes to bed, he checks his closet for Clint Eastwood.

Butterfly knife Kid john wick is fictional kid, Mr. Eastwood is the real deal.
CC Greening Clint Eastwood is badass, Keanu is a nice guy. They're both awesome, but they're both very different.
Lol I remember I only had 1 fight all through school. It was in 9th grade and I was embarrassed by it because it was the first time I had gotten in any type of serious trouble. My grandparents were with my mom when she got the call that I had been in a fight and gotten suspended and she didn’t tell me this until years later but my grandfather thought it was the best thing ever and wanted to know every detail. Said he got a real kick out of it cause I’ve always been a big guy but never played sports and he had 2 daughters so this was the first time he could relieve some of his glory days through me. Was really cool when my mom told me that when I was about 20
Now that's the kind of feel-good stories we need, to promote real masculinity.
Shaman X my nigga you got an anime profile picture
This made me smile man
Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman and Steve McQueen-the last real Hollywood badasses.
Hey, what about Charles Bronson? And maybe Arnold.
🐀🔫...
🚬👓...
Mel Gibson
Captain John Yeh, maybe Arnold and Bronson. But I mentioned those three, because they also did a lot outside of acting. Both McQueen and Newman raced cars. Newman owned a racing team. Eastwood was also in the military, and survived a plane crash. Both Eastwood and Newman are also known for their charitable philanthropy. EDIT: I kinda forgot that McQueen was known for cheating on his wife, and was even accused of spousal abuse. Guess I'm a little bit of a hypocrite on that one.
Greg Pyne I'm a fan of Mel, especially going back to Mad Max, Gallipoli, and even Lethal Weapon. He's up there. His drunken racial tirade not withstanding, but I think he's grown from that.
Captain John Charles Bronson yes , Arnold ...eh
Mr. Eastwood has always been my favorite actor. I actually saw him in SF about 15 years ago as he was getting into his car and about to drive away. I couldn't miss my one big chance to say hi, so I ran up to his car all goofy and smiling. Pantomiming for him to roll down his window and then with praying hands. He actually got out of his car to shake my hand, and he smiled at me, totally made my day. Literally, hehe. (Thanks again if you're reading this, I still have a Dirty Harry Postcard on my desk. Front Street.) ❤
Lucky
@A W He was married at the time. Lmao 😂
I'd have probably almost fainted, love that man from way back.....
Wow, you're so lucky!
I fought every bully that ever hit me. The ones that I couldn't fight were the ones that tormented my self esteem, violence was being discouraged so at a point they all started taking l personal shots like how I had no father, or how my mom was crazy. Being attacked psychologically was easily the most damaging thing I've experienced, to not have a support system, and have people around you saying that's why you're flawed was an inescapable daily torment, I think I'd have preferred a simple fist fight, even if it happened every day.
You're here,you got through it,congratulations man!
Same here man. Getting punched in the face for me was easy. The psychological torment of words stays with you forever.
Same my guy
@@dalcassian9098 Patronising
Schools are so fundamentally flawed. And every attempt to “fix” a “problem” just ends up making it all the more miserable. This story here is proof.
Correction, young people will always be hated by the generation before them.
Probably been true since the time of the Cave Man...damn tool users, back in my day we used our bare hands.

nah you're just pussies
My youngest brother had two issues: first, he was small for his age. Second, he was born at the end of the year, so he was also the youngest kid in his class. My other brother went to school with him and told me this story. They were just starting at a new school in a new town. First day of grade four, the bigmouth class bully hassled my little brother, which led to an after school challenege of a fight. Lots of kids gathered in the schoolyard, anticipating a bloodbath. Long story short, my brother cleaned the bully's clock. He never had another bully problem. That would have been 1973.
Clint is right. A lot of my issues would of been solved if I grew a pair earlier in life. Very humbling experience though, I might say.
Fighting to settle things, how i sure wish we could still do that without getting 10 years in prison for it
I suppose that's why Antifa covers their faces. I mean, just in case one of them could actually throw a punch instead of just whining.

SouthCalifas619 come to Morocco you can fight all you want
Or the guy you are fighting comes back with his friends who have knives and guns. Nowadays some people won't end the beef after one fight.
SouthCalifas619 omg ikr, u can get in so much trouble for fighting it’s ridiculous
I told my kids to defend yourself & fight back against bullies that physically assault you. They said they'd get in trouble @ school. I said F that, it's both your legal & natural right to defend yourself from physical harm & I'll back you up 100%
You're a good parent. My father was just like that, told us to solve arguments with our words and to always keep cool, but if shit hits the fan then we had his permission to defend ourselves. On more than one ocassion I stood up for myself and to protect my brother, and my father was there to vouch for us and protect us from any repercussions.
His parenting would be deemed "wrong" by today's standards.
I am a freshman in college, and I remember in my senior year of highschool, first thing in the morning this big guy, who apparently would pick on people would try to go after people, chocked me while I was eating, after that happened a few times, I was tired of it, and punch the guy in the head as he was trying to run away because he would attack someone then retreat to do it again. Got him on the back of the head 3 times. Never did that shit to me again. Apparently from what I heard everyone hated him, and no one wanted to sign his yearbook, so even though he would treat me like shit. I was the only one who signed his yearbook. People asked me why the hell would I take the time to do something nice like that for someone that mean. Tbh I felt kinda bad for him that in his life, he only finds joy in starting fights. And is hated by everyone, including the teachers.
Unfortunately children learn what they live, (see at home), he was probably picked on at home so that's the only coping skills he knew. And ppl that are hurting inside hurt others. Very sad. Thanx for being nice to him.
Ballard, you’re an honorable man. Defended yourself, but were bigger than him and everyone else in your maturity by signing his book. He will always remember that, and might even make him rethink how he lives.
We need more honorable men. Hooah to you from this ol Soldier.
🇺🇸👍💪🙏🦅
I've found the same thing to be true. When u stand your ground and put up a fight, bullies gain respect, and instantly lose interest in bullying YOU. It seems to work every time.
As my son says to his mother "go ahead, make my bed....." definitely a different generation
K.J. G. Thats on you bro. Go discipline him.
That’s your fault you raised him dingus
@Austin C. Once my dad lifted me by my ears
Baby boomers folks...
Always failing to realise their folly.
No you just are a garbage parent. My dad is dead, and my mom has not once cooked a single meal or made my bed. I've been working since 15 and I'm 17 now, my mom has seizures so I have to take care of her, I take care of my siblings who basically take care of themselves too. My generation is not only more intelligent, but we have experienced much more than you have your whole life in probably a year. What you mean is YOUR KID not our whole generation you old fuck.
We live in a culture where everything must be analyzed to death to justify ones sections. Sometimes being an ass is just being an ass.
Not saying it's an eye for an eye answer for everything, but life is a series of unfair challenges and how you del with it defines who you are.
Sometimes we can't get past the injustice of things and it paralyzes us. Others learn and move on and do better things with their lives.
Life isn't fair but the harder you work at it the less unfair it becomes.
I got mobbed when I was a child because I was overweighted. Since I was really tall for my age I fought back the older kids and I got as always into trouble with the teacher, councils and parents. One time five guys fought me, putted snow on my whole body and I revenged it when I punched a kid in his face. He had brain trauma for 2 weeks. In the end I felt ashamed what I did. Sometimes you need to step up, but don't use unnecessary violence
Life never "becomes less unfair".
Agree with you there
I remember getting suspended because i elbowed a dude who had just tried to strangle me, because i held the door open and smiled at his sister, who had a bf, who was also my friend. No way i was even trying to hit on her, just being nice. But my reaction was "too violent"...
Oh, so this is more common than i thought.. i had a similar experience as a kid. This girls brother punched me in the gut for talking to his sister.. i was like 10 lol.
something I'll never be able to understand from the US. you are allowed to be bullied constantly but as soon as you try to defend yourself you get a criminal record!?
@@billygilmusic5072 this doesn't have anything to do with the US, that happened in France actually. But i think its more that like the video said, everybody is so soft, a teacher cant even scold a student anymore cause they'd probably get fired lol
Shouldn't have looked at his girl, m8
Should know better to fuck with a millennial's sister ;)
Not like they ever leave their parents, where else you gonna get some?
Viking102938 you are as primitive as it gets
Yes, I agree with him on some level but I still feel the desire to share my garbage opinion. I had many bullies, at a younger age. I fought them repeatedly. But they still came back. The only way I escaped them was moving out of the area. I recieved absolutely no respect for standing up for myself.
Even from yourself? That might be the most important respect you earn.
Fight harder pussy
ravetile As a kid, I was sometimes severely bullied. I had a tough uncle, who told me to find the biggest, strongest bully, walk up to him, and hit him in the face as hard as I could. Desperate, I tried it twice, at two different schools. Both times, I got the snot beat out of me by the guy I went after.
I thought uncle Louie gave me bad advice.
After a time, I realised that the guy I hit never bothered me again.
Bullies are like lions, they always go for the prey that looks the easiest to kill. If you show you're not dying before biting him some times, he's gonna look for a prey that doesn't resist.
Times were different back then. Now, if you initiate violence and harm someone, there's a good chance you'll be facing serious charges or some type of legal recourse. Back then, they would just send you both on your way and maybe call your parents. It's not as easy as just assaulting someone anymore. You have to be smart about it and try to incite violence before you react.
comments just prove what he says
Chuffles Not really. I also find it curious that the people who bitch most about Millennials a) often confuse them with Generation Z, and B) are the ones who fucking raised them...
Chuffles Yup, bunch of insecure pussies clinging to an outdated masculine ideal, and calling anyone who disagrees "betas."
Oh, you weren't talking about them, were you?
TheBoBabsin exactly, climate is extremely different now, a lot more complex, like a labyrinth, if it was only as easy as punching back or talking back... The rules have changed or rather stacked up, especially in this age of information.
Reggie freeborn: Clint's generation fought fanatical fascists across three continents, ended genocides by two military dictatorships, then turned around and faced down Stalin and Mao and two of the largest militaries in human history. When they came home, they oversaw the largest expansions of education and public works ever and started a space program that eventually placed men on the moon. And you're going to discount all of that because of some assholes in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas? What have you ever done that equals that? Sat around, played video games and then attended some shitty street protest? Fuck off, kid.
Felix Blackwood "oh no, please don't look at the clints gen pussy momments. How dare you defeat my nostalgia boner narative " -you
Unlike you shitbird, i don't turn a blind eye to each generational downfalling (really the little rock nine is the tip of iceberg of clints eastwood generations list of stupid shit that they complained and bitch about) .There is no pussy generation,every generation claim that new generation is "weaker" (or pussified if you want to talk like a insecure old fart). Hell,I read old ass news clippings people claimed how people who drived was the new gen growing "soft" that they couldn't handle a horse or were too lazy to walk
Whenever I got bullied in school my dad told me to throw a punch to gain respect. Yes, he watched a lot of Clint Eastwood's movies.
You just fought as hard as you could everytime.. make it a hassle for them,it will stop. You don't always have to win,but sometimes you gotta fight. Least when I was younger
In my schooling days even if you lost the bullies still respected you for fighting
@@MASTEROFEVIL yup even became friends with some of them 😆😆😆
He's 100% right ya know.
David Sosebee Why are older generations so jealous of millennials? Is it because you’re all old as fuck and getting closer and closer to death and millennials are all still pretty young?
David Sosebee
No, he's talking shit.
If you strip this argument down to its bare essentials, Clint is trying to say that bullying victims who seek help and counselling are cowards; instead, they should just resort to violence, like a real man. Yeah, because if there's one lesson that human history has taught us, it's that all situations are improved by violence...
He comes off like a bitter old dog, looking for even the tiniest excuse to whine about how the world was much better back in his day. The world has changed, and by extension so have it's inhabitants. Get used to it.
Golf . . .He plays Golf. . .what kind of "pussified" activity is that ?!?! Also, Ya notice how previous generations always puts down the latest generation ? That's been going on for centuries. The generations of the real 1800's would consider Mr. Eastwood's generation to be weak, spoiled and "pussified".
Waffles And Bacon! Millennials are not young. Y'all look the same to generation Z and Y. The only difference is one had hippies and the other had hipsters.
@@ilikewaffles889 hey I agree with him. I'm from this generation and it really is pussified. I know I'm technically calling my self a pussy but atleast I don't let myself become one of them snowflake liberal whatever the fuck they are.
Mfw i fought back and got suspended and my parents hated me for it :)))
Pietro Colosimo tell your parents to fuck off. I hate parents who dont stand by their kid
This actually happened? Damn dude what the hell?
@Erik N Yeah and people all across the West wonder where the masculinity has gone... We had a strict "non violence" policy at our primary school back here in Europe and me and my parents didn't give a damn about it. "If they bully you, you warn them three times. Then you beat them up if required." was how I dealt with bullies, as per parents' teachings. School thought I had a mental disorder for fighting bullies off. World's gone mad.
Every time I get into a fight I 100% fight back, and my parents are always on my side. But now with our now principle we get suspended for a week or so!
ive wouldn hated u... matter fact woulda went out for lunch and a movie
I remember being in school & not having the ability to fight bullies, even if I wanted to. The teachers would get involved, then involve the Police. We’d be in detention for weeks because of it. Sometimes Criminal charges.
In case you were wondering, bullying never stopped.
Good ol’ Canada for ya.
Eric Booth wait are you complaining that your country sends bullies to jail?
fasagalag he's saying the defender would get criminal charges, a lot of schools follow the ideology of "the less people who are in trouble, the better, even if they are in the wrong" so the victim usually gets punished while the bullies get away
fasagalag A little late to the response but yes, I am complaining that my country charges bullies, they don’t go to jail unless they face assault charges. You never learn how to fight your own battles when they are fought for you. I should have had the ability to stand up for myself because the teachers and police getting involved only made things much worse for me in the long run, in more ways than one.
That happens too many people in the US believe it or not!!
The world was never ready for Clint Eastwood but still can't live without him
These comments are a great example of how spot on Clint is in this.

Clint's my childhood hero and I'm a millennial
Thankfully, some zoomers are being well molded by Gen X parents
Rafael Acosta I’m guessing your the boomer who hates everyone younger than him because you want them to deal with your hardships. That sound pretty fucking selfish to me.
Eastwood's comments certainly caused a lot of debate in the replies here....and open discussion is a good thing. From my own personal experiences with bullies at school (Back in the 60's) you can't stop people being bullies. It is in their make up, or in the way they were raised. My experiences taught me that the only successful way to deal with a bully was to physically inflict as much punishment as possible on them every time they attacked you. Sure you didn't win the fight (After all cowards like this only pick targets they can be sure of beating) and you went home sore & with a bloody nose....but as long as you could make sure that they also sustained some punishment. Simple as that...and the next time they picked on you.... you tried to make sure they got hurt again. The main thing here was to get the message across to them that, if they attacked you, they were going to suffer some discomfort. After a while these people would look for a softer target, someone who simply didn't fight back. This is not a solution to the problem of bullying (That needs to be tackled by the childs parents....or a professional analyst) but it worked for me, because after a couple of times, the guys would leave me alone and look for easier pickings.
You make a point too sensical for a nonsensical generation, I'm afraid...
based boomer
People today act like my sister growing up. Any issue or discomfort was followed by running to my mother and crying and sobbing until they were taken care of. Majority of the time I got my ass beat for doing a damn thing. We’re in a time of weak men. The cycle will continue tho. It always has and always will.

Very true i grew up in the early 90's and i had to fight my bullies, Shit i ended up being friends with most of them!
If Clint said it than it is true. My man Clint, much respect"
The fact that he didn’t see the problem with bullying shows that he wasn’t really bullied.

Happy birthday to mister Clint Eastwood
A badass never starts a fight, but he is willing to defend himself when the chips are down.

"generation of men raised by women." -tyler durden
I was raised mainly by my mum and I'd say I turned out OK, I stood up for myself and I got in fights. Might be I'm from a working class christian conservative Australian family though
Every generation looks down on the one after it. When he was young being racist wasn't frowned upon, everything had poison in it and fatherly love consisted of a good beating. I was born in '86 out of a loving family, but beatings for doing something wrong were regular as were beatings at school.
@@giurguvea every generation after the boomers(hell, maybe even going back as far as the silent generation) set in motion a domino effect of destroying the male identity. we detest any violence whether it be standing up for yourself and fighting back against someone that picks on you ,hunting animals is tantamount to murdering a person and chasing ass you'll be cried at for being sexist for being what nature intended you to be and all of this is creating men who are emotionally unstable, passive agressive and cry about everything rather than taking responsibility for their life...if you think about it we produce weak willed men with no honorable qualities who reproduce with women with equally terrible qualities. Maybe I'm misguided buts it's a cultural poison thats slowly getting worse and if left untreated, it will destroy civilization.
@@therealdio6562 It was not long ago that we (the West) had similar views (regarding manhood, sexuality and womens rights) as the extremist islamists have today. Hell, if you'd lived in the stone age you'd whack a woman on the head and claim her as your own. People evolve physically and psychologically and it's normal to be somewhat skeptical of these changes. You don't need to be a model alpha male to attract females or have a good standing in society hell...maybe we'll further evolve into a civilization where men give birth and women go out asteroid-mining. To sum up, other than you being annoyed by weak men i don't see an issue here. Instead of judging and trying to change other people, institute the moral values you see fit into your children
@@therealdio6562 lmao I love how you clearly missed the point of tyler durdens character, hes a parody of people like you, dumbass

As an immigrant I was very confused as a kid why Americans weren’t fighting each other, I always thought Americans were macho, in my country kids would fight and the teachers would join in, now people care about diversity and not hurting each others feelings, we had a kid win an award for holding doors
Much better
That sounds like a participation trophy.
Breakit dwnclown , out of empathy, it was worthless piece of paper and the kid was a dumbass
Forced diversity is reversed racism , if you really wanna kill racism then treat everybody equally dont treat other races better for sake of diversity
Pacifist in nature? I mean, theirs allot more bleeding hearts and weak willed people around.

Sounds like you enjoy violence
Parker McCuistion im all for defending yourself, but OP sounds like he is disappointed in his son for not being in a single fight. Getting in a fight is one of the dumbest things you can do, but i think its fine if you have to defend yourself
Sounds like you're a shit father in all honesty. You want better for your child. The entire point is to do better than what you got. You're a fuckin idiot
Even I faced a lot of bullies at a certain age...The day I fought back was the day my reality changed
Clint represents a very specific way of thinking that many older generations like to carry. It doesn’t mean he is 100% right, but it’s nice to see he’s stayed the badass for such a long time, reminds me of my grandparents every time I hear him talk
I certainly don't agree with his resolution methods, but I still respect him and understand he grew up in a MUCH different time. He could probably be more considerate and try to understand why things change though.
CJ P. You must be a republican
Clint was a big guy he wouldn't have experienced real bullying.
He wasn't big, he was tall. Them lanky kids get it bad.
I was the tallest one in my class and i would always get picked on like really bad, whe ever i defended myself i would get in trouble
I was also a big guy and got a bit bullied but only verbally because they knew I would hit back, the fact that they insulted me didn t affect me one bit
@@mariusss95 You’re a big guy
I rememeber around thw 5th grade custody changed, so I changed schools. I learned quickly that it almost never mattered if you won or lost a fight, you just always had to be willing to fight. Its usually over quickly and doesn't have to be a bad thing either.
I honestly wish I could mess around with coworkers/friends like we did growing up. As an adult, life is soft and easy. It doesnt promote growth, and I dont suffer enough.
Wow, make my day. Very profound. Really left his mark on the world.
I'm glad I got to watch a lot of his movies growing up. Taught me that sometimes the best way to deal with a bully is to go toe to toe with them. Diplomacy isn't applicable in every situation
True...
I didn't create this acc for this
This is my main account
I'm fan of Clint Eastwood
We all need a little more Clint Eastwood. I wish I had one of those guys for my generation.
Clint speaks the truth here. Truth can be tried to be hidden, attemps can be made to change it to whatever agenda the powerful want, but in the long run, truth always come up.
While he's correct, I think Clint Eastwood sometimes forgets that he acts being a badass, and he isn't actually a rough gunslinger. It's rare that someone is actually as tough as Clint seems to think he is.
Otherwise neat.
Nowadays you answer bullies with your ar15
Future is now old man
God I love this man and his honesty. A man's man
I wish this was longer.
Things are more complex and tougher now in many ways. When clint was coming up, america was experiencing a large economic boom, and the job market looked way different. Back then you didnt need to go to university just to get a regular job like today. Young people today are paying the price for what others did. The job market in from the 50s and into the early 90s= manual labors or machinery. The labor market of today= Electronics, technology and AI. Many of the jobs from those days are gone, and many others have been replaced by machines and computer systems. The youth may have been overprotected, but thats not their fault. And its not their fault that they get in debt by studying, like they are being told to do, only to compete for a job at mcdonalds just so they can pay of their loan in 10 15 years.
tysswe1 you absolutely do not need to go to college to get a normal job. You can pick a trade without ever stepping foot in a university.
until they ask for your grades.
+tysswe1 They ask for individual skill and work ethic nothing more. Good grades are one of the things they look out for because it is an indicator of some work ethic, that's it. Unskilled people can get degrees. It tells you nothing else about the person. You don't need grades, you don't need school. You can educate yourself using the internet and learn more in 6 months than you would in 4 years of university. It's a waste of time, money and energy.
They did have it easier. www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2299465/Life-harder-today-40-years-ago--s-just-somethings-saying-parents-agree.html
vincent m dude, its not so simple. I'm in the the trade market too, but this line of work isn't for everyone. Some people either can't work in the business or don't want this work because they want to be a manager or a doctor or whatever, which are jobs we need too. The problem is that if you are going to get these jobs you need the education and everything, which does cost a fuck ton more than it use to. Most kids won't be able to buy a house in they're lifetime not because of they're own failings but because of the huge debt they owe from college, buying a car, raising kids, ect. Times really are getting financially and phycologically harder. We can't just accuse kids of being lazy when they've grown up in this world that has gotten progressively harder to live in the traditional way.
I'm always wary of stuff like this. looking back, after the dust has settled, its always easy to romanticize it and say it was simpler or better back then.
There was no time for crying cause they needed to fight a war.
That is what Clint Eastwood said in the interview. Did you have to go to the bathroom or something?
Fire&Ice909 Nah, they just put weaker kids in the hospital. The idea that you earned respect for fighting back is a fantasy. It probably happened sometimes, but more often, it meant your opponent would show up later with some friends and beat the shit out of you. And the thing is, plenty of people were okay with that. "Survival of the fittest," they called it. Good fucking riddance.
TheBoBabsin I disagree if you go and beat the living shit out of a bully or of a person that is frequently harassing you then they will probably stop . You got to remember that bullies bully for there own Amusement and won't bother trying to bully you if they might get hurt .
Willow Bullies are also petty, small minded and vindictive. They could just as easily escalate the situation as stop bothering you as a response.
I'm 48 years old and I still fantasize about the old days.
My father was old school Mexican and he would really dip in and out of my life but one lesson he taught me I’ve held with my my entire life was no matter the consequences you stand your ground. If you run from a issue you’ll never know how to solve it in the future, and I think we can all look at the old generation for shit like this maybe don’t absorb everything like bigotry but take in many the lessons about self dependency and individualism.
Hold up. How are you going to complain about the young gen when it's the parent's fault. Kids are rarely being taught anymore by the grandparents and parents to know how to be a real man or a real woman.
@smoosh smoosh soy boy
Yeah Eastwood is wrong here and his assessment of millennials and gen x is a poor one. Violence in schools, violent crime and violence in general has declined significantly in recent decades. Our society is much more civil now than it was in the 1960s. Calling younger generations “pussies” is a poor way of interpreting that fact.
I, at 57, consider my generation to be the last where parents AND school officials could discipline an unruly child. If you messed up you got "a swat" aka a paddling with a board across the ass with a letter sent home. And in my house that letter earned me another ass beating. A rough up between two dudes in gym class got the gloves brought out by the teacher and those two duked it out. And like Clint said, a majority of the time there was respect earned by both for each other and usually didn't scrap anymore. I was NOT abused as a child, I was disciplined and taught the EVERY action comes with a reaction. A good reaction was a benefit, a bad one was a consequence as taught to me by my parents and it was up to me to decide which one I wanted to deal with before I did the act or said the thing on my mind.
ugh stop saying reasonable things they hurt my feeeelings now i need a safe space to sit and cry about it in soshal media oki boomer
idk man. obviously, i'm DECADES younger than you (i'm 14) so i'm going through a way different childhood experience than you had, but i seriously don't think physical punishment is really all that beneficial, especially for a minor. ofc i'm not saying parents should just become total pushovers and let their kids get away with everything, disregarding the severity of what they did but nor do i think we should beat our kids senseless just for accidentally talking back. spanking your kid's gonna teach them "don't do that or you're gonna get the belt." that's not healthy at ALL imo, living in fear like that.
charlie dee agree completely. I'm 62 and got a few spankings when I was young. Not hard enough to leave bruises or cause bleeding, but painful enough to let me know I had done something wrong when I knew better, and better not do it again. I didn't fear my father, I respected him. He was firm but fair, and would always talk to me about what I had done and why it was wrong, and want to hear my side of the story. We didn't get ass-beatings often, but only for the most serious things, like stealing, deliberately hurting another kid, lying (he hated lies). I brought my kids up the same way. They don't drink, or do drugs, and have never been arrested. They both graduated college and have families of their own.
As someone born in 2003, I completely agree. Everyone in my generation always expect shit to be spoon fed instead of solving the problem themselves
Cool video!!!
Oversensitivity is ruining our freedom of speech.
Like George Carlin said, PC culture is just fascism but with manners
Undersensitivity ruins our intelligence.
fasagalag Well said.
My_Supercar_Life The older generations were even more conservative and narrow-minded back then, smartass.
He's totally right about the bullying stuff. I got a lot of shit in school because I was an easy target. I was small, wore glasses and I was very shy. The teachers always told the kids to come to them if they were being bullied or whatever but that didn't do shit, and more often than not it just made it worse. Thank fuck I had a father who was an ex marine and always told me to fight back no matter what the teachers said or else I would've turned into a spineless bitch that never learned to stand up for himself
A great man and a great actor and a great human being
This video Made My Day 😍
love that guy
Mr. Eastwood is like how they say in spanish “el mas macho de los machos”
"The most men of all men?!"
@@edwardgaines6561 nope, macho and hombre are different words.
@@edwardgaines6561 "The manliest of the manly." Something like that.
El Macho
He's "el macho".
YES!!!! Where the hell did that go??? Needs to come back
Take the first step sleepy. Go knock that bully out.
Made my day
I got beat up and bullied every day. One day I fought back. I got expelled.
Wsp Bitch stupid
I'm Happy, I'm Feeling Glad, I Got Sunshine In A Bag.
If bullying was like that nowadays, i would think my bully would be my friend afterwards, but nowadays they dont want anything to do with you afterwards other than to give you nothing but more, and its sad honestly
My dad was an immigrant from China and didn't understand how kids can get bullied in American schools, so his advice to me was to go tell the teacher when I was bullied. This only resulted in the bully waiting for me after school and beating me up, since I was small and didn't know how to fight. So, as an adult, I suffered from self-esteem issues and anger management issues. My advice? Teach your kids to defend themselves. They'll be better off in the long run.
