Because I Said So How many of us heard this term as kids from our parents?
Recently I found myself immersed in a tit-for-tat on FB, and after a few hours of chewing on the thread, I realized that I wasn't arguing a point, I was arguing with someone's viewpoint!
A good example is the campaign to impeach Obama. I drove past a stand the other day, with signs & flags asking people's support.

Well, when you fast forward, it's not like you're questioning their authority, you're questioning their beliefs, whereas in the first two sentences, you're questioning their authority. You're not being forced to sign a petition, but you're being forced to do what your parents say. Maybe I'm missing something here | |

I remember that orger, FACE, always used to say that. He even had, "COS FACE SAID SO!!!!" in his signature line. He used to type that in his posts too. Wonder whatever became of that guy? RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

My Dad always punctuated the "because I said so" with a belt if you didn't hear it the first time... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Oh, he's still around; he just uses the belt to hitch up his britches... I laid that to rest along time ago. That was the "spare the rod, spoil the child" generation. You did what they said or else, no back talk. [Edited 8/30/14 14:16pm] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Yeah but he yells in the strage dialogue of EMU! I picture a lot of spitting while speaking it. | |

Lol Oh God no...I absolutely could not tolerate that as an explanation for ANYTHING from my parents. I needed to know WHY, and because I said so did not cut it! One time my Mother tried to use that on me, and I said "So following your logic, for instance, if you told me to go jump off a cliff, you would have me disregard my better judgement which YOU encourage in me, and do it just because you said so? Do you think you're raising sheep?"
Never heard it again | |

There's a big difference between being parent and political discourse. I think everyone knows; if I have something to say, I don't bite my tongue. It's rubbed some folks the wrong way and sometimes professional avenues were closed, so be it. Our mother taught us that when you saw wrong or you were being wronged... stand flat footed, look people in the eye, speak up, and out.
So yeah I was a because I said so parent. I also said, When you can take care of yourself and move out of our home, you can live your life however you see fit.
