Im all for violence. I am not for beating on people who cant defend themselves. But I am for spanking dumbass kids, or giving your teenage son a backhander when he's disrespecting his mother.

But, parents are as big of pussies as the kids nowadays. And it seems that the world wants to change our natural instinct of fight into flight, which is sad.

Instead of having kids who are proud and strong, and willing to stand up for themselves, we have pussy children who run to mommy crying, or who later bring guns to school because its the only way they know how to 'get back' at those bothering them.

Everyone should be taught to box in early grades as far as im concerned. The ability to defend yourself is just as important as the ability to read or write. (as important, not moreso)

Why are we so scared of our children being hurt? mentally and physicly. Amateur hockey here has destroyed hockey for children here. All the violence is gone, and at the lowest levels they dont even keep score because they dont want kids to think there is a winner or a loser. WTF is up with that? Why would kids want to improve if they didnt know they lost? They dont. And as such, the level of hockey in younger players is going down.

Why do we feel the need to constantly protect children, instead of letting them learn heartache, pain, and loss on their own. They'll be much better people for it.

Im all for more violence and less negotiation.

Well said.

Spoken like a big, muscular guy. Reckon if you were disabled you might feel a bit differently.

Anyone who picks on a disabled person should have a big strong guy beat on them for a while.

Nowhere did I say people should pick on others who cant defend themselves.

But... if your big and healthy enough to look me in the eye and ask for a fight, your big enough to get one.

Yay for me getting parenting advice from people without kids.

Yes, I was spanked. Yes, I grew up in an angry household. No, I won't ever encourage someone to do that to their own children. There is a better way, and I've proven it. I'm right now dealing with a legal matter, where my parenting methods are being tested with therapists and lawyers. When the dust settles, I'll let you buy my book.....

I never gave any advice.

Your contention is that violence begets violence yet you yourself have proven otherwise.

I never said I haven't been a violent person. I said I haven't and wouldn't with kids.

I got spanked too, when I did something bad enough. My dad never beat me, ever. Closest he came, I was about 13, and wouldn't move so my mother could get by with her clothes basket. Told her she'd have to wait the 30 seconds it was gonna take. I was at that cocky age where I started to figure I didnt need to listen to them, I was bigger.

Dad threw me headfirst into a wall.

Know what I learned? Not that my dad is a violent or angry man (he's not in any way), I learned that when my mom tells you to move, you fucking move. I was taught the lesson of respect, through the medium of violence.

when I went to highschool, we had this wierdo named Tiger who liked to make fun of me. One day I went to the school basement, and beat on him for a while. Cut him from the cheek to the forehead. He never picked on me again, ever. He learned a lesson, through the medium of violence...

Sometimes its called for, and most times its effective.. Im all for using it when the situation calls for it.

You're right, they all do sound like a bunch of grumpy old men with their mantra "damn kids these days"

I'm amazed at the number of people I hear say that kids are out of control, the government is out of control, etc. but nothing ever seems to get done. I would think that if everything feels the same way, then something would change, but it never does.

Guess this is one reason I don't have (or really want) kids. If I did, they'd get their ass spanked if they needed it.
