Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas hands his 21-year-old son a check for $10,000.
"Okay. You're on your own," Kirk says.
Michael looks at the check. "That's great, Dad, but I still have two years of college tuition left."
Kirk doesn't care. The lesson has started. The bank is closed.
For the next 30 years, Kirk Douglas proudly brags to his other children and everyone who would listen: "Michael never asked me for another dime. I gave him that money, and that was it. I made him a man."
He believed his extreme tough love had worked perfectly. Until Michael finally sat him down three decades later.
"Dad, you remember those beautiful, soft Italian leather suitcases you bought me for Christmas back then?" Michael asked.
"Yeah," Kirk smiled.
"Well, I found out that each suitcase could hold exactly 22 kilos of marijuana."
To pay his tuition and survive his father's brutal lesson in self-reliance, Michael became a drug smuggler. He moved product across the country using the exact same bags his father bought him.
Society glorifies tough love. We are told that cutting the safety net and applying maximum pressure is the only way to build true character.
But when you push someone to the absolute edge, they don't always learn the moral lesson you intended. Sometimes, they just learn how to survive by any means necessary.
@wwehottakes_ @IMMY_ISLAM@WrestleTalk_TV Darby Allen brought eyes to the product when the ratings dropped every week under Darby and went back up when MJF won?
@BrilynHollyhand You loathed Obama because he’s Black.
We loath Trump because he’s a 34x convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who lacks class, compassion, humility, empathy, understanding, kindness & common sense.
I could go on or are you late for your KKK roundup?
@DangervilleTeam@RealBooBerry@miighty_morphin Cheating on your partner is wrong but we are suppose to be watching Keiko and see the circumstances that led to cheating. Hiroshi has circumstances that led to cheating. We aren't suppose to justify the actions but we are suppose to see what led the characters to said actions.

Speed and power scale with Ki. When your ki increases your speed and power increase to match it otherwise you end up like the grade forms.
Goku lifted 8 ton on Grand Kai's world and SS made 40 ton easy. Super has inconsistent feats regardless.
The biggest lie that you believe about Super Saiyan (especially power scalers) is that it multiplies their strength and speed 50 fold like their power level
But that's not how it works lol
by that logic Goku should be able to lift 2,000 tons but Vegeta can't lift half that--
