Young boys/toddlers with mohawks

[Glen]

I'm watching the spring training game on MLB network and they're showing the crowd, and there's a little boy of around 3 with a mohawk.  OK or not OK?  What's your take on it?

Meh if the kid likes it, I say why not.

[Glen]

Because it's the parents trying to reclaim being cool through their kids.  Kids don't need that.  Give them something to rebel against.  When you have a mohawk at three, what's left?

 

I smell another point/counterpoint...

Tin often scans the crowd looking for young boys.

I'm with Glen. Making your social statements through your pre-schooler is pathetic.

I take offense to your use of the word "often."

Even Vin Scully thinks you should take it down a notch.

The only thing worse is kids of the same age that have their ears pierced.

Mohawks are harmless.  If that is what the parent likes and the kid doesn't care, then who cares?

 

No different than the attire that parents choose for their kids, or kids having mullets cause that's what the parents think is cool.

 

It isn't like they are getting tatted up or pierced or anything.

they look idiotic, regardless of age.

I was just talking about this to my coworker last week. It's wild that 30 years ago a punk would be called names such as "faggot" or "queer" if he was walking down the street with a mohawk. Now it's a fashionable norm. Wild.

Part of me is like "whatevs".

 

But the other part of me wants to punch the parent for being a homo douche.

Such an awesome post

Who cares? The kid is like 3-5 and they like it and they think it's cool and makes them happy, then so be it. Let them be happy.

 Well, before too long, the kid will have to adhere to a dress code in school so do it while you can, I guess. I saw the kid to whom you are referring  - cute kid.

I  *think* ear piercing is a tradition (right word?) for some cultures.

Smoking pot in the bathroom at 8?

Forcing a mohawk on your 3-year-old is pure whiskey-tango
