Child abuse has so many amusing names.

Grasshopper Grandmother fucks around all summer and by the time winter rolls around, she's starving and left out in the cold.

Sound like how you train fighting dogs.

China is SOOOOOO going to kick our ass when they go to war against the US.

@4:

China is always going to win WW III, if it's purely a game of numbers.

Which is why the U.S. still maintains its nuclear arsenal...

Hm, the model I'm trying to live up to is "bare-minimum Dad". And really, isn't that the best kind of Dad?

I'm a crouching tiger hidden otter gay uncle. It's a pretty hands-off role, I just buy birthday presents and stuff.

The Lying Jackals of Yankee Imperialism will not force the Eagles of the People to keep their offspring from the Cliffs of Perseverance!

I aspire to be an Aardvark Uncle.

Running naked in snow is no big deal, especially for kids who have high metabolisms. I've done it. Nobody but nobody has been harmed by a brief run.

It also has a long tradition, particularly in Asia where it's viewed as self-strengthening. My martial arts teacher stripped down and bathed in snow when he was a boy in Korea. Many years later, he had us white college boys (and girls) do it. Later, I had my students do it.

Nobody was hurt. Nobody got sick. Nobody walked off in anger. It was pretty much everybody laughing and rubbing snow in each others' backs.

Of course, you could be a child under the gentle care of Chuckie and be taught to ignore people snooping around you or your stuff and hope that your cell phone doesn't get stolen or you get ass-raped. (But hey, at least you weren't profiling!)

China's mythical bullshit can do anything! Remember the Boxer Rebellion? They used kung fu to defeat the British! Amazing shit but true. All true.

Being all tiger and eagle and whatnot is going to work out just as great.

@10 and this connects up with a man forcing his 4 yo to run through snow how...? I mean I'm just guessing the pupils you have are either old enough or well informed enough to know they can decline, right? They are doing something of their own free will, which this kid wasn't.

For those who think that this somehow is justified in the assumption that it would help them beat you in some fictive future world war can I suggest another form of lion/wolf/eagle kind of parenting?
What you do, right, is you round up all boys in the ages 8-13 and send them off to a youth camp. Lets call it "Eagle Youth". Then you make them fight each other until only one is standing every now and then and that boy standing you call "The Prince of his class" or "The First of his group" or something - that would toughen them right up. Then you start a war.
...And THEN you realize that conviction, fysical strength and willpower is shit compared to a functioning army system, warm winter jackets and effective supply lines that you don't over stretch.
