I was just remembering the time I did the math wrong on a tip and gave around 5% instead of the 17.5% I intended, so the next day I went back to the restaurant and gave the cashier money to give to the waiter. Hopefully my kind of people outnumber no class wankers who stiff wait people.
Ok, Tim Giachetti, whatever you say, but anyone who knows even a little bit about the process of language acquisition (like, I dunno, someone with a PhD in LINGUISTICS) knows that a child who speaks English with one parent and another language with the other parent is going to pick up English just fine. So what is the problem with the child learning Klingon? It will help him to have an easier time learning other languages with syntax and grammar that are very different from English. It's a way of imparting knowledge to the child, not an unethical psychological experiment.
I can't stop you from making snap judgments about something you don't understand, but it sure makes you look silly. Why don't you look into whether the child was harmed by any of this before you shoot off your mouth about kicking his father in the head?
And Darklordxnew, you are cheating the servers when they have to spend time waiting on you instead of people with class who pay for the service as they are supposed to.
If you don't tip you don't deserve to get waited on. You are not an agent of social change when you don't pay for your service. It does not make the management pay their wait staff better. It just makes you a cheap asshole.
A tip isn't a prize or a gift. It is compensation for service provided. Most people know that waiters and waitresses receive a smaller wage because they work for tips. Waiting on tables can be very difficult and a server who is making every effort to do the job correctly can easily fall behind when a place is very busy. This server shouldn't have to do her job without pay because these spoiled little college brats weren't happy about the service. Is probably their parents' money anyway. I hope they get fined for their theft of service along with having to pay restitution.
Lighten up, Tim Giachetti. Assuming the child has social contact with people other than his father, he would be bilingual. He will still learn English from his mother and others. Children can handle talking to different people in different languages.
Learning a second language is good for a child's mind. It will enhance his understanding of English and make it easier to learn more language.
He might want to keep the Klingon under wraps when he hits his teen years, though, or he'll only get laid at Trekkie conventions.

How is this going to harm the child in any way?
