Your Child Is Not Special, He's Fucking Annoying

This is ridiculous. In general, I hate conservatives and closed minded people. I think that you should be open to new idea and embrace a lot of what people choose to believe and practice as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Sort of, whatever you want to do, go for it. However, there seems to be this ultra-liberal, retarded parent movement on Indigo Children (not related to Gingers). Indigo children, you ask? What does that mean? Ask the NYTimes:

Indigo children were first described in the 1970's by a San Diego parapsychologist, Nancy Ann Tappe, who noticed the emergence of children with an indigo aura, a vibrational color she had never seen before. This color, she reasoned, coincided with a new consciousness.

In "The Indigo Children," Mr. Carroll and Ms. Tober define the phenomenon. Indigos, they write, share traits like high I.Q., acute intuition, self-confidence, resistance to authority and disruptive tendencies, which are often diagnosed as attention-deficit disorder, known as A.D.D., or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or A.D.H.D. [NYTimes]

Now, I understand a lot of people hate modern psychology. They think meds are over-prescribed, that people aren't learning to just deal. Further, people are convinced that their annoying little children are actually not annoying but special. Well, your child is special. He's special in that there is a neurochemical imbalance in your child's head that makes him annoying to every single human being but you. I understand that you want to believe your kid is not fucked up. But you have to understand that when your kid cannot read anything, can't focus on a math problem or do anything for more than a minute, the kid is clearly fucked up.


More importantly, your kid does not have a stupid purple aura. Your child is not on another spectral plain. Your child is loud, obnoxious, frustrating and should be heavily medicated into some sort of stupor.

And this is what I admire about conservative people. While the believe in such fictional things as Jesus, God and the War on Terror, they do not believe in auras, special "vibrational energy" or telepathy. Obviously both extremes of this are really really ridiculous. If you think I'm being mean or over-reacting, people who believe in this have the potential to really hurt people. Annette Piper "had planned to go to medical school until she realized she was an indigo, able to tell what was wrong with people by touching them."

I can tell without touching Annette that she's an idiot.
