12 year old know it all!...Not!

You realize I wasn't making some random assumption about the opˋs 12 year old right? But instead responding to @Robroy's story about the obnoxious 15 year old? Who was sexually abused?

Oh, I meant nothing against you (in fact I'd probably agree with you), I just needed part of the convo about the topic to quote as an example of something we missed covering, and I wasn't invested enough to go dig up the original post about the girl. Carry on!
 
I got two new basses this week. I'd post a NBD or two, heck maybe even three because I got another a few weeks ago. But, nobody cares. I guess I should start a thread about poverty, nutrition, GC and their policies and the way they are, silly kids and maybe a question about mixed drivers. Then I'd have 12 page threads and five million likes!

For those of you just joining us:
Respect your elders, eat plenty of oatmeal, and beat your children like it's 1955. Did I miss anything?

Proposing that 1955 was a watershed year in child beating really disrespects a whole tradition of brat flogging that stretches back to antiquity. When I beat my children - and I indulge often - I do so confident that I weild my strop from atop the shoulders of giants.
 
This makes me remember Jerry Clower telling about someone making really nasty comments over and over about how his young son was quarterbacking his high school team one Friday night. Jerry said he went down several rows, crosses over, and stood in front of the man and said "Mister, Jesus Christ just saved your life." When the guy looked stunned Jerry said " . . . 'cause that quarterback is my son, and if I weren't a Christian I'd kill you!!!"

I'm sure this has been asked before, but of the 10-odd pages I've read to date, I haven't seen you or anyone else substantiate this assertion of yours:
Everything has to do with it to one degree or another. Weight of a person is a contributing factor to the story. And the word "Jethro" causes me to infer a few things as well.
Can you explain what and why someone's weight has anything to do with the particular situation? Saying that 'everything has to do with it to one degree or another' sounds nebulous and merely an assumption made of whole cloth.
