rapter 0 #1 April 20, 2007 It's hard to be a parent, and kids will try your patience time and time again. But have you heard Alec Baldwin's rant to his daughter on the phone, I knew he was an asshole, but my god, you should never talk to your kid this way. http://www.tmz.com/2007/04/19/alec-baldwins-threatening-message-to-daughter/ Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they are having issues but haven't followed the story. I just know that if my father had spoken to me like that when I was her age; I'd be damaged. Be yourself!

rapter 0 #9 April 20, 2007 yes, parents fight and put kids in the middle of the mess, I was one, but you never, for any reason, talk to you kids like that, maybe if there adults, but not as a young teen. I would bet in a few years, we will hear of her getting popped for drugs, or killing herself.

lawrocket 3 #12 April 20, 2007 The motherfucker should lose his visitation rights for the time being. Period. Some snippets of his comments to his 11 year-old daughter: - "You are a rude, thoughtless little pig." - "You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being." - "I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone." The motherfucker should pay dearly for this shit. If this is the sort of thing that you would hear on the phone, would YOU want to answer it? This is one of them that actually got recorded. I can only assume the stuff that hasn't been recorded. Oh, and then his spokeman released a statement: "in the best interest of the child . . . [Baldwin] will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing ... keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order." Really? Obeying a court order? Standard language for a custody and visitation oder includes things like, "Parents shall neither do nor say anything in the presence of the child that will diminish the love and affection that the the child has for the ither parent" and "Parents shall neither argue in the presence of the child" and "Neither Parent shall disparage or insult the other parent in front of the child or to the child." What pisses me off the most is that Alec Baldwin has been railing consistently over the last few years about how lousy the system is. Personally, I agree that if we were to intentionally devise a terrible system, we've got it. But this shows me that his bitching and griping about the unfairness of the system were either because: 1) he was attempting to show himself as a victim to affect public opinion and hide what an asshole motherfucker he really is; or 2) he truly is an arrogant, pompous megalomaniacal control freak who lacks the ability to view himself outside of his own self-centered subjectivity. So Baldwin violated the order by disparaging the mother not only on the phone, but by releasing a statement that disparaged the mother! In direct opposition to the released statement, it appears that Baldwin is pathologically incapable of keeping his mouth shut and obeying a court order. Some of you may believe that Basinger is a bitch that drove him to this. Well, she may be a bitch. She may do similar stuff. From personal experience, I've found that bitter divorces are most often found when both parties are assholes, and this is likely the same. But what we have is PROOF of what an asshole Baldwin is. It's not Basinger's fault he ranted like that - it's his. Passing the buck and blaming others for his own lack of class and composure further shows what a dick he is.Imus lost his job and Baldwin will probably keep his. Yeah, I heard this this morning. And it pisses me off. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
