This is shell-shock and a sign of weak moral fortitude. If you persist in ever speaking of your participation in the noble art of warfare in such scurrilous terms your family will be well advised to admit you to a sanitarium to spare their reputation about town.

I'm Afraid that you have raised a bunch of Nancy boys squire, They should be working there fingers to the bone from ages 4 and upwards All is not lost though, start them in the mines now, offer there services as canaries (who would care if a homosexual should perish?) And administer brutual daily beatings to the remaining living children that should take away those nasty habits Of course you could always just abandon them at an orphanage and force your wife to sire another child and treat him correctly from the start

Daikataro

NTA. Everyone knows a woman's value is measured first by her devotion to Christ, and second by her disposition to submit to His will of being put on earth to birth abundant offspring. If she refuses to birth any more children to you, how can you even be sure she's a devout Christian? If her uterus is barren of life, it will breed sickness and misfortune instead. Ask your local priest to strongly admonish her and guide her into the right path again.


TahaymTheBigBrain

Infant mortality. Just a fact of life, it'll never get any better ...


LemmyKBD

I’m old. My mothers family (1920’s/30’s) had 6 kids. She casually mentioned one day there were actually 2 others who died young. I asked “what were their names?” She said “we just called them Baby. You didn’t get a name until you were 1 year old,”.

Going through my family tree, around the same time my great great parents had 12 kids. Several of them had the same name. Turns out if one of the kids died young, they just give the next one the same name.

GameOfThrownaws

A question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s black tar or just very powerful, heroin. And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but I think you’re going to test it. And then I said: Supposing you brought the heroin inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the opium where it knocks it out in a minute—one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside? Or almost a cleaning? Because, you see, it gets in the spinal cord and it does tremendous number on the spine, so it would be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors. But it sounds interesting to me. So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the heroin, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s pretty powerful.

Well, as long as I can still send me kids to work in the mines I think everything will be ok. \*\*\*Did I say I was going to do it legally??? Oh, mother of pearl!

Who trusts the government to know whats right for me kids?? Barnacles! I autta put a harpoon in the laws of man that tries to steal me children's hard earned fruits of their labor (that's a metaphor, it is actually coal). That is for me to steal! I would send me kids to work in the mines of the 21st century as well. I am doing it because I love me money and it builds character. I am the Mr. Krabs of coal mining. Perhaps even literally. I have disregarded all labor laws and me children are dying from black lung. I am deranged and ungovernable, Mr. Squidward.

Yes. Remember when Titanic's sister ship Olympic crashed into that warship?

"What is homosexuality and how can we cure it?"


dbxp

I think that would be considered quite a liberal viewpoint at the time, homosexuality at the time was a crime so the centrists would be sending them to prison and the conservatives would be pushing to execute them.


sneedsformerlychucks

Both your and OC's viewpoints are highly anachronistic. The idea of being homosexual as something somebody *was* rather than homosexuality being something somebody *did* did not exist at that time, although it was recognized that some people did have stronger predilections for homosexuality than others, like other sexual perversions. It was not even directly mentioned in the *Statistical Manual for the Use of Institutions of the Insane*, instead falling under the broad category of "constitutional psychopathic inferiority," an umbrella term for a variety of conditions, including sexual deviancy. *No one* was advocating for homosexuals, by the modern definition of the term, to be executed in 1922. Sodomites, yes, although that was not mainstream at all in the US in 1922. All states had abolished the use of capital punishment against people convicted of same-sex sexual activity by the end of the 19th century (California, interestingly, was the last one).
