I think he's 12. Titan is also comparatively young (I believe also 12).

I thought Titan was 11.

But anyway, I remember when I was 13 and on here.

Man was I stupid.

EDIT: In another two years, I can guarantee I'll be as stupid as I think 13 was now. And 13 will seem even stupider.

And then they grew up...had their own kids...were afraid to touch them and "created" the current situation.  Neither is right.  Parents should control their kids without resorting to excessive violence and physical harm.  Ultimately what that has been shown to do is create resentment and backlash and here's the backlash...some of the worst behaved kids in a very long time.  Hopefully the pendulum will swing more to the middle.

WTF is "excessive" violence? Today you can't touch a kid without XY groups coming all over you..it's redicolous..you got 10 year old that smok,e drink and act tough..and act like vandals - especialyl to the elderly.

A good spanking or a slap on the cheek is what's needed now and then... You know what would happen earler if you called your teacher a b***? You'd get whipped so hard you'd avoid sitting down for the rest of the day. Chidler actualyl had respect towards others..

Today tehy call in a councelor or do nothing...no wonder kids are like tehy are...

South Park teaches very important moral values. Cartman's mother lets him do anything, and he goes around dressing up as Hitler and ordering the extermination of the Jews. Then, we have Butters, who is grounded all the time and look at the sweetie he is (despite the side effects of psychological instability and all that).

Heh, as I've said before, part of the reason for the massive rise in crime is the massive rise in the number of laws it's possible to break ;) 20 Years ago, spanking your child for being naughty was considered to be 'discipline', nowadays, it's 'child abuse'...

Title: Re: Age
Post by: IceFire on July 12, 2007, 05:40:22 pm
I don't see spanking as being excessive violence or a slap on the check either.  I'm not convinced that they would always be effective but I'm not strictly opposed to their use.  But some parents have, can, and still do take things to the next level and thats where its traumatic and abusive and excessive and causes far more harm than good.

Its gone too far to one side right now...and if anything happens to some parents kid its always everyone elses fault and their kids never take responsibility for their own actions and the parents don't take responsibility for their actions in bringing up the kid.  The taking of responsibility is a big thing for me.

True..smacking is for those cases when the kid really deserves it (does somethign really bad after being warned several times). And there are some kids with which talking has little to no effect.

I don't believe you need to smack your kids. I don't believe that there are any kids who won't respond to another form of punishment.

I do however believe that it can be a quick and effective punishment and something which everyone knows how to do. If you watch those "supernanny" style programmes you'll see that there are other effective ways to deal with your kids. The problem is that parents have stopped smacking children but no one has bothered to teach them any other alternative so by and large the entire generation is making it up as they go along.

Heh, bribery is an acceptable punishment as well I guess. The problem is, I suspect it's only a matter of time in the UK before 'denying me my leisure time' becomes some kind of breach of Human Rights or the like, so removing privileges will also start to be frowned on, you'll just be told to 'talk to your child', but not given any hints as to what about, how or why. I've seen 8 year old kids scream 'I'll phone Childline!' as soon as they are denied something, admittedly, the parents ignored it, but we live in such a 'lynch-mob' culture these days, I sometimes wonder....
Title: Re: Age
Post by: karajorma on July 14, 2007, 08:05:25 am

And anyway, I still believe that giving a good thwack on the rear is effective for disciplining your children, although it should always be a last resort. I learned that lying was a bad thing that way, and I make it a point to never lie if I can to this day.

The problem is not that you can't smack your kids. The problem is that for some parents that was the only way they knew how to discipline their kids.

Anyone want to tell me that this parent (http://www.showmethemooneys.com/mooneys/blog/cache/ps2_punish.html) needs to smack his kids for them to know not to cross him? :D

My dad through me and my brothers n64 down a 15ft tall staircase when i was 12 because my older bro broke my dads gps (that was when they were knew and ****ing huge too). I started crying shortly afterwards because i paid for half of that thing. The cool thing is that is still worked perfectly despite broken casing as opposed to my dads completely broken gps.

Anyway i will be 23 in october, and first found the fs1 demo and fs2 demo when i was 15, and shortly bought fs2 later that year.

Spanking is universal and works great. It's like what the bible says, don't spare your child the rod(don't spare your child punishment and correction). A thump on the head or whack on the bum creates pain. And pain = lessons learned fast...or very slowly in some cases in those kids who just don't want to learn. While some other punishment techniques that may be considered modern and non-abusive or whatever bs. While some of those may work, giving your kids a beat down is way faster and easier. In my mind as effective punishments with taking your kids' stuff away from them a second place for speed and ease, beating up your kid is the way to go.

I always got this spoon (http://www.justbynature.com/images/WoodenSpn.gif)
And it hurt like a *****, though my brother hardly ever got this spoon.
He did get this one (http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/21CMXHAY8RL._AA280_.jpg)
And they did eventually break it on him too :lol:

God damn 10 year old kid came over to my house and threatened to pour water on THIS computer. All the things I said to him just made him laugh and he was smiling all the way. I actually wanted to kill him. Instead, I deleted all the games on his Game Boy later on. He went home bawling and crying his eyes out. Was I sorry? Heck no. That felt great. :D

Evidently, I did kick him a bit but he didn't care, just smiled and laughed and threatened to pour water on the computer.

Thing is, my Dad didn't ever beat me, I think I got spanked once in my entire life, and that was when I was about 6 and I ran a key along about 5 cars in the street I lived in, I was too young to realise it was wrong really, but I soon found out.

The fact of the matter was, the simple fact that the option of spanking was there in the first place was enough to exert control over me to a certain degree, remove the option, you remove a level of discipline, not because you can't soank your child, but because your child knows you cannot spank them.

<Anonymous> Now, I’m sure many of you have encountered little ****s in supermarkets. Little kids running about and knocking things over, being rude, walking all over their parents, you know the kind.

<Anonymous> Okay, here’s the best part. A biter got me today when I was grocery stopping. He broke the ****ing skin, too. This was when the gears started turning, the moment I saw a tiny sprickle of blood on the little ****’s teeth as he was grinning at me like the little **** he is. I made my eyes get wide, and started screaming “****! ****!.” Now, my good friend, Tom we’ll call him, was there too, and he instantly picked up on it. He started shouting “****! MAYBE HE DIDN’T GET IT! ****!.” By now, the kid is scared ****less and starts crying, and instantly, Mizz Mom appears out of nowhere and starts getting pissy at us for yelling at her kid.
<Anonymous> Here’s the kicker, I look her straight in the eye and say, “Mam, get your son tested as soon as possible, he just bit me and I’m… I’m ****ING HIV POSITIVE.”
<Anonymous> And now there is silence. Not a peep in the entire store. The brat knows he just ****ed up big time because his mom isn’t defending his ass. She just stares at me wide eyed. I walk away from them, buy my **** from the wide eyed cashier, all the while blood is dripping from my calf, making a nice little trail on the floor. And, just s we leave, we start to hear the mother sobbing. Sobbing like the **** she is.

My parents spanked me when i was growing up, but only when i deserved it. By the time i was 9 I never got spanked again. Why? because i wasn't a little asshole anymore. It taught me respect for my elders.  I love that quote above, nobody dicsiplines their children anymore and they run around and scream and bite. At the grocery store I walk right next to my mom and wasn't a little prick. At school I see all these kids how are assholes and will  always be assholes. Spanking me was the best thing my parents ever did for me.

Some smart ass kid yelled at my younger brother and made him cry. And then laughed at him. Then I went up and asked him why did he yell at 'That kid over there'. I didn't say he was my younger brother. and the kid said, 'For fun.' Then I said, 'Oh, okay. Then i'm going to slap you.' He looks at me and says 'why?' I say:'For ****ing fun. For ****ing yelling at my younger brother.' Then he freaks and runs away.

Here's the best part. He ran and got his big brother. Who asked me 'How dare you yell at my brother and threaten to hit him!' I just stared at him, deadpan, looking straight into his eyes. Then he noticed I was holding something wrapped in cloth, and he started panicking. Then I said, 'He started it. He just needs to apologiese.' So he made his younger brother apologies to my younger brother, and then he actually ran.

I got bullied a lot when i was young. Hell when i was 6 one bigger kid the same age as me tried to pick me up by my neck. The bigger kid and his friend were making fun of my ears which stuck out a little when i was younger. So i called the bigger one a butt head and didn't quite run away. I just walked away without thinking about running (i should have ran). Then it's me against a wall trying to be picked up by the neck. I never had anyone to watch out for me. Hell even some of my friends were double crossing assholes.

Later in my life i just made friends with all the bullies, and that worked out just great since they actually ended up being cool people while they're still bullying my backstabbing friends (which my old friends completely deserved). I was a skinny quiet weak fry growing up. Later in life i learned how to bully people too, the few times i bully people is when i'm bullying the pieces of **** who bully other people (i bully the bullies). Mainly because i do enjoy pushing bully's around whenever i get a chance, and not everyone out there has people to stand up for them, sort of like when i was growing up.

I hate this no-tolerance policy in Canadian and (other?) schools. They say that the second that there is bullying the kid gets suspension, but the hardcore assholes in my school rarely get truly punished. They just get an in-school suspension, which isn't punishment at all.

My parents, and all of my friends parents, actually encourage violent defense against these kids. I have beaten the living **** out of several of them on several occasions. Some of them still don't learn though. One of them will get the picture and leave me alone for several years until I have to re-fresh his memory. The rest leave me alone for good.

ok, a better one. i was once the best modder in my house. and then SOMEONE learned how to tile textures...

 :lol: You are right, forum life is so EXITING. In fact you got ip-banned last time. I guess that goes along with the forum life is so exiting for you dealie. I guess besides the cheese jokes that you are in the right thread for us to judge what age you are, for you to tell us what it actually is, for us not to believe your answer, and for you to defend your claim.

Speaking of kids. I rarely get mad, i try to be very peaceful, and i put up with a whole lot of stupid **** from people. Well i was hanging out at the liquor store with my friend who was behind the counter. And one of the *****es who worked there wasn't anywhere to be found, but her 11 year old child was. He's a short skinny red head piece of **** who stomped on my ut2004 box full of the game discs while he was rampaging and destroying my best friends house while he was being babysitted by my best friends little bro, this was when he was 8. This kid completely is pretty much what snail described when he had a kid threatening a computer with a cup of water. Hell if this kid will destroy and rampage anyones stuff if you try to force him to eat a can of chef boyardee beef ravioli as opposed to giving him a candy bar 24/7. Anyway, he was being all annoying at this liquor store i was hanging out at, and this kid started messing with the cash register trying to open it, took like 7 long sticks of beef jerky without buying them (most of those made it onto the floor), he took 4 20 ounce pepsi's (idk where he took those), he tried taking some candy. But, the thing that really set me off after half an hour of annoying stealing and me and the cashier telling the kid to go home was when the kid started messing with the machine that prints your receipts. He just held down the button so the receipt machine would dispense it's whole roll of paper.

That pissed me off more than the wasting of food on the floor and the greed in taking a ton of 20 ounce sodas. I did it without thinking, i yelled at the kid calling him a piece of **** and that he needs to go home. After that he left. And in my vow to have a balanced and peaceful attitude and personality, i realized that yelling can actually scare people, which was wierd for me because i did not know that.

As for spanking\beating\whatever:
A very good and hard slap in the face does wonders in children education most often than not. Theres other viable methods, but nothing can replace focalized, intense pain in a square inch of your body :P
And in all honestly its ridiculous that nowadays a teacher gets sued for doing his\her frakking job!!! (educating the younglings= a good slap in the face when needed).

Played Colony Wars back in the day, oh and wing commander on the snes. As far a I remeber there just wasnt much space sim type games on the consoles that I had as a child.

Now I'm grown up (or at least I tell myself that) I came upon freespace completly by mistake, had suscrbied to Gametap and they have freespace 1 and 2 on their game list. Tried them and liked what I saw, googled freespace (Ok, I admit I was looking to pirate a copy of it) and came upon this forum.
