Apparently a lot of the things my parents, especially my father, taught me and the way in which they taught me these things count as "abuse" these days.
Example:
I was 3. I liked to play with lighters. This was stupid, and dangerous. It was innocent, really. They were colorful and fire looked pretty. So I kept swiping my parents' lighters and playing with them, and when they kept taking them from me, I started hiding to play with them.
This is stupidly motherfucking dangerous, of course, it means when I finally get the actual lighter to work I'll be in a closet or something and burn the whole house down. Plus I had no concept that fire was bad or could hurt anyone.
My grandfather suggested to my parents that I simply needed "a good crack on the ass" (hitting was his solution to most problems with children) but my parents were very much against that idea. My mother didn't want to ever have to hit her children, and my father (rightly) understood that would just make me fear getting caught instead of making me stop doing it, I'd just get sneakier.
So, instead, one day my father takes one of those Bic lighters and, with me out of sight, lights it and turns it upside down so the metal tip of it heats up to motherfucking hot. He then leaves it on the kitchen table, and goes to start cooking.
I enter the kitchen a little bit later, and I see an unattended pretty blue lighter on the table. I reach for it, and my dad sees me and is like "No. Don't touch that. It is hot."
I look at him, watch to see if he's gonna stop me, and then try to grab it anyway.
I burn my hand. For the first time in my tiny life, I experience the fucking pain of burning. Naturally, being a new and unexpected pain, it is the most painful thing ever and I scream and cry. My father scoops me up, checks the burn (it's extremely minor), runs it under water, calms me down.
He picks up the lighter, shows it to me and says "See? Hot! Don't touch!"
He then walks over to the stove and shows me the orange burner "This is hot. Do you want to touch it?"
I am like no way!
So he puts me down and says "So, when we tell you it is hot, do not touch it, okay?" and I said okay.
The fact that I have vivid memories of this event when I was 3 years old means it was a pretty effective lesson, I'd say.
But apparently, some people see that as abusive parenting.
On my first day of grade one (I had moved to a new school), my dad drove me to school. Just before I got out of the car, he leans in close to me and says in a very low tone "If I ever catch you smoking, I'll disown you."
Because they've got a shitty country. Who would attack the dutch? I mean seriously.
All they're good for is... a lot of stuff Germany does better.
Oh, and they also from time to time poke the hornet's nest of Islam with a Muhammad cartoon.
I mean, hell, if Farside is to be believed they made a penguin an officer. My list of "reasons the dutch deserve a navy" is coming up short.
The Dutch are the foremost innovators in water-related technology. We had god damn fucking better be, since half the fucking country is situated below sea level.
But yeah, if you need antyhign big having to do with water built, like a series of canals or fancy sluice gates or a way to stop Venice from sinking, you come to the Dutch. We build shit to last, motherfucker.
Also we've got it pretty good as far as human rights go here. Much better than in America, for instance.
We've also been renowned explorers and traders in centuries past, and we helped lay the foundations of today's economy.
We've also got the second-busiest port in the world, that being Rotterdam. Shanghai is the busiest now, but Rotterdam is still the busiest in Europe.

It's also italian. I've been taking the class since september, I don't see why people complain so much about it, it's easy (especially if you speak spanish, which many of the failing students in the class do).
I intend to take a second language next year, it'll either be Japanese or Cambodian.

Just let that sink in a little bit.

I never started smoking. I guess it worked. lol
