Today, a kid was ranting that "people these days are so rude" and that "things were much better in the '50s." Annoyed, I asked the delusional twat what was so great about the racial segregation, rampant sexism, homophobia, and all the rest back then. He responded by punching me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after my 10 year-old son asked what equal rights were and I'd explained it means you treat everyone the same, this morning he punched a girl who's been bullying him so hard, he broke her tooth, because, "Equal rights: if she was a boy I'd have hit her before, but equal rights says it doesn't matter if she's a girl, so I hit her." FML
Today, a punk-looking college kid was making fun of my mentally handicapped son. Out of anger, I punched him in the face. I got handcuffed and thrown into a police car. The kid stood there laughing and pointing at me. FML
Today, one of the human turds that I stupidly added on Facebook posted how terrible her life is after her dad refused to arrange yet another holiday for her this year, so I bitched her out for being such a spoiled little brat. A few hours later, her boyfriend came over and beat the shit out of me. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML
Today, as I was working in retail, this guy shoved me into the shelves for asking if he needed help with anything, screaming at me that I need to leave him alone. FML
Today, while finishing shopping with my kids, my female best friend and I were accosted by a street preacher. He screamed that we were an abomination, having biracial children was a sin against nature, and that we were ruining America. Not only we are not gay, he made my kids cry. FML
Today, I had to explain racism to my son after some of his school friends were talking about it. Another parent then stormed up to us, pissed off because even though I was explaining how bad racism is, just talking about it is itself racist, and he was offended by me. He made my son cry. FML
Today, I politely asked my neighbor if she could tell her kids to be a little more quiet, and I guess I wasn't the first one to approach her. She slammed the door in my face, but not before screaming, "I bet none of you would be doing this if we were white." FML
Today, while I was standing in line at the store, some guy insulted the girl in front of me as he walked past. She turned around and socked me in the face. FML
Today, my young son and I were in line at Subway. I guess he got bored and started to insult the teenage girl behind us. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Eventually the girl punched him in the face and left. As my son cried uncontrollably, everyone else there clapped. FML

He was just an immature child who couldn't admit he was wrong. All the same, argument won.

It was much much worst back then, than it is now. The stuff today is 100x better in comparison.

What are you talking about? Not everything was bad in the '50s! Damn pessimist.

Oh yeah! I almost want to experience the 50s, but then I remember that I'm black. My Dad and Grandparents would know how tough and downright scary it was for us.

Wasn't the point of this FML that a previous generation was terrible?

Well, did you bitch out or did you kick his ass? Cause I definitely wouldn't have let that kid walk away without a couple of bruises.

Way to prove you're a big, strong man by whipping a kid's ass. *slow golf clap*

If a kid punches you, he deserves a smack. I don't care how old he is, not defending yourself simply reinforces in the kid's mind that he can get away with doing such things because people like you will instantly take the kids side despite his actions. I'm not saying beat the shit out of the poor kid, but a good slap across the face should do nicely.

Eeee, while I would agree if this was OP's kid, the line is a liiiitttttttle bit more blurry since it's A kid, not HIS kid. I'm all for disciplining kids, but I also don't want OP slapped with a child abuse case because he whipped a kid that wasn't his.

Was he trying to prove his own point? Pretty damn rude to punch someone for being right! The little prick >{

It's funny a kid would say that when he didn't even live back then... like he would know what it was like.
