But we don't want to hurt there feelings, they might grow up and have daddy issues like Michael Moore.

All I can say is look at today's society and you will see why our kids are fucked up. Everyone is scared of getting children's services called on them.

I've known many people, on every point of the wealth and privelege scale. There seems to be no correlation between money and intelligence or happiness. If anything ( extreme over generalization here) people with excessive wealth tend toward less happy. One over simplistic reason for that is that people who need resources can blame that lack on all their malaise; "If I just won the lotto, all my problems would be gone."

Look at uber celebrities, people with all the fame, finances, and adulation they ever thought they'd want. They should be the happiest people in the world. But if they aren't happy, what can they do? There's nothing to blame, no sympathy to be had; they're trapped. We watch them go insane, take the rehab revolving door, and often off themselves. Still, they garner people's envy.

It's pointless to look at seemingly undeserving people who seem have it easy and judge them harshly. They have their own stuff to deal with, just like everyone else. From someone else's perspective, you're probably undeserving as well.

No to be preachy, it's just much easier to worry about your own stuff than other people. And, if makes you feel any better, those people are probably miserable. Schadenfreude!

Did you post in the wrong thread?

I posted in the offtopic part. My fault. You answered the OP.

You are a moron. Thanks for taking what I said out of context. Perhaps you haven't seen my previous posts on the topic.

Please die in a fire. You are a passive aggressive retard that brings nothing to any discussion you are in.

Spare the rod, spoil the child. I don't have any kids. I'm 20 years old. Fuck off.

Hehe.. Pretty much the response I expected. You're such a loser.

We'll I have kids and I was never afraid to test there ass with my hand when they act up.

Here is a good idea for punishment. Go sit in the corner Charlie and do not ever do that again mmkay. That's a good Charlie, don't ever pull a knife out on your teacher again or I might have to resort to sending you to your room for 2 hours. Now we wouldn't want to do that now would we?

I got my ass beat when I fucked up, my kids get their ass beat when they fuck up and we all are fine - oh and respect our elders. Imagine that!

My father never laid hand on me and you'll have to search hard for a guy with more respect for elder people. I'm the guy who holds up the door and/or donate my seat to the elderly on the bus while other brats sit with their shoes up on the seat.
I sure as hell won't beat my kids.

It's just the fact that I grew up poor and had to work my ass off for the money to pay for my own band/drill team/etc. while all the rich kids can ask thier mommies and daddies for $250 pay-to-play + $500 cheerleading fees. Seriously. Even if my mom had money to spend like that she would still make me go out and work to pay for it. It's a life lesson that every kid should learn. I bought my own car, pay for my own insurance, my own gas money, my own cell phone, my own after school activities, etc.... and those spoiled brats get it handed to them!!! It just burns my biscuts. And I believe in beating my kids. If they threaten to call childrens services for spanking my kid, I will hand them the phone, then when they start dialing, smack it outta thier hands then smack them up-side the head for smarting off to me.

I try to not concern myself with what other people are doing. I have too many of my own things to worry about. I don't need to worry about what kind of car I drive, not going out into publc with out a Starbucks coffee in my hand, or what i look like when i go to the gym.

I do see a lot of things that really get under my skin that kids now a days do. Kids now a days can't take discipline or anything negative at all.

I watched a kid flip out on his mom in Best Buy over the holidays because she wouldn't get him a 360 AND a PS3. Gave her the "I hate you you're a terrible mother you don't let me have anything"

I proceeded to watch them both go out and get into separate cars and drive away. This 17 year old kid got into a Lexus IS300. I know for a fact he didn't buy that car so his "horrible" mother did.

All you can really do is just laugh at these people and shake your head at how they act. I can't control them or change how they act but what I can control is how my kids are raised and how they will act and that's what I will do, is make damn sure my children do not act like that.

[Gloin]

Who do you think will feel more satisfied after achieving whatever goal they have, the one who had to struggle to get it or the one who just got it easy.

Ugh. I'm not saying abuse your kids. You're confusing discipline and "Beating". You're a loser.

I believe Breakfast Club addresses this problem (from the OP) and incorporates everything most sane folk have said.

Indeed the world is not fair. Bender gets cigar burns on his arm. Claire has diamond earings. Through a liberal dose of pot, school hijinks, and rallying against the hate of the Man the upper crust and the lower class end up together and everyone understands each other.

Quote

John Bender: I like those earrings, Claire.
Claire Standish: Shut up.
John Bender: Are those real diamonds, Claire?
Claire Standish: Shut up.
John Bender: I bet they are. Did you work for the money to buy those earrings?
Claire Standish: Shut your mouth.
John Bender: Or did your Daddy buy those for you?
Claire Standish: [shouts] Shut up!
John Bender: I'll bet he bought those for you. I bet those were a Christmas gift. You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?

If a child deserves to be spanked, then spank them. Considering it child abuse is bullshit.

Man, I hope you copied that from a website where English is not the first language as opposed to typing it out. Spill pain?? Studder??

studder should be stutter
spill pain should be spill paint.
