I'm only 47. How would I know?
Why do people blame everything on how a kid was disiplined? If partents try to displine kids, people complain that they are "wrecking their creativity." If they do not they are "raising the next generation of psychos." If you try the middle road, you are "to wishy-washy to have kids." Give me a break! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...milies/Grr.gif
Most people like to blame things on their parents, either by their disipline or lack or disipline. Then they can relate to others and therefore like to blame all parents for all kids "imperfections". Does that make sense?
Do you think parents should disipline their children or not or somewhat in the middle?
They should definitely disipline their children, but to a certain age, me thinks. I'm only twelve, and my parents spanked me when I was younger, but now a stern reprimand hurts just as much.
Same question.
Not disciplining children?! That's crazy! Everyone should discipline their kids(I don't only mean spanking, the corner is incredibly effective)...When they don't, they usually end up claiming that the reason their kids keep getting suspended from school is because they have ADHD and getting them medicated later(I've seen this more than once). Of course, there should be a difference between the way you discipline a 5 year old and an 8 year old, and if your kid has no mental problems, they shouldn't need to be disciplined after they're 10(If they were raised right). It doesn't stunt individualism in the least bit(I'm the weirdest and most abnormal person I know and I was disciplined when I was young).
Same question.---
yes parents should discipline their kids. this questions reminds me of the stories in the media about Alec Baldwin's voicemail he left to his daughter. She had done something and he was upset with her for it and he left her a voice mail about it. The media got a hold of it and were talking about his parenting skills...
I was thinking (and I don't even have kids) that the kid probably deserved it. All he did was yell at her. It's not like he beat her with a shovel. If parents can't teach their children right and wrong through discipline, then who will? It certainly won't be the teachers at school, because all they want to do is defile the poor kids.
I was listening to This American Life (yes another NPR program - NPR Rules!) and that week it was about kids and discipline and the narrator said something along the lines of "Kids are sociopaths until they are disciplined out of it"
That is not a direct quote because I can't remember exactly what he said, but it's true. Kids need to be taught effectively how to function in society and they need to be called down when they do something inappropriate. You can't just call it ADD or accuse their parents of mistreatment. I guess some people have different ideas about what is inappropriate discipline.
Me personally, I think some kids just needs spankings.
Do you remember getting disciplined and/or spanked for something and how does that make you feel?
i've been spanked... well when i did get spanked i didn't like it. but i've looked around and seen what some people turn out to be. and i know what i could have turned out to be. so now i am thankful.
same question?
I remember experiencing many different forms of discipline.
What is your purpose in life?
Honestly? I don't know. I just know that I am here and I would like to live a decent, happy life. Thus far, I haven't been succeeding too much!
Same question....
changing the world.
How do you sour milk?
I am not going to tell you how I sour it but I know you sour it just by looking at it.
Oh wait, this is not the insult thread. I have no idea. I know that it goes sour when it stays in the fridge long after its expiration date. Does that help? :D
Why do songs get stuck in your head?
Humans love patterns. Music, as opposed to noise, is, by definition, a pattern.
Why does being drunk feel so good?
Alcohol interferes with communication between nerve cells and all other cells, suppressing the activities of excitatory nerve pathways and increasing the activities of inhibitory nerve pathways.

Is desire really what it appears to be for socrates, krishna and others(pretty much the equivalent of evil) or were these(possibly ficticious) people used as a way to brainwash citizens in the distant past?
A little from column A, a little from column B.
Would you rather our society put more importance on intellectualism instead of athletics, and you never get to watch sports again, or would you rather our society puts even more importance on athletics, in which case there are even more sports to watch?
