Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

The only thing I learned from it was get good at not getting caught... didn't actually do anything to make me a better person

Ultimately, it comes to you as an individual to make that happen.
Parents are only there to let you know that path exists, and provide incentives and show that it is can be rewarding or just.

Thing is though, there was no "Don't get caught" I always got caught because I suck at being discrete.

I might even understand spanking but whipping with a belt...yeah, no.

Spanking isn't terrible as long as they know how to do it right to not cause any real damage... most parents do not know this though and hit too high or too low.

one spank with the belt or a spatula, it's all about reinforcement. Do bad things? Gonna get your *** busted with the belt. That's how I learned and that's how I intend to raise my children. It's not perfect, but it gets results, but not only that I also got paddled in school. If you tell the child *why* they got spanked and what they can do to not get spanked in the future, it'll help get results while they're still young. I haven't really been spanked since 2nd grade, it straightens you out.

Unfortunately you are correct, most parents also let their anger get the better of them and they spank for too long and they hurt the child. One or two spanks and that should do the job of letting the child know they did bad. It makes them understand they can't get away with doing bad things, and that there will be punishment. Grounding a child can only do so much, since nowadays they'll have alternatives. Hell one of my friend's moms tried to cut off the internet from their home thinking the child didn't know, I watched him go into the closet where their modem is and plugged it back in.

Like I said before I don't wanna bother getting into a pedagogy argument. But clearly not everyone needs force used on them to learn how to behave.

And a belt can cause serious damage.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Tell me internet what I am even looking at.

Illegal to spank over here

All my parents had to do was threaten to take away my SNES and N64 and that was enough for me.

I learned that after they took away both and my tv for two months. (Lost them because I got an 89 on a test.)

This is why I wore sweatpants as a kid.

You are looking at a topless Vladimir Putin punching an fighter plane being flown by some kind of dog, while George Bush flies another plane with an angry looking dog while drinking. A giant *** vulture is getting ready to lift off of an american air craft carrier and something about the black sea, russia, georgia and oil.

Niiice.


That Android 17 is broken as *** as a leader against AGL bosses if you can get a second one as your friend summon by the way. For some reason, instead of just adding their effects together for a -50% damage reduction, it reduces all AGL-type normal attacks to around 10 damage and supers to like 200~300.
Chilled works too, but it's not as big a reduction.

I guess you could say....

He's putin you down for the count.

To spank or not to spank, that is the question. To me, that decision is arbitrary. Whatever your choice, remain consistent. Too many parents claim that they're going to do one thing, then they don't follow through.

Here's an example: So my roommate lately has been allowing his girlfriend and her kid to come here at least twice a week. Regarding that, I'm already looking for a one bedroom apartment, but that's not the point. Anyway, the kid was acting like a complete ***. He straight up told my roommate to his face that he was going to play a certain video game that my roommate refused him to play and that he was going to tell his mom if my roommate wouldn't let him. His mom was right there and she laid into him, or so I thought. She said, "After dinner, you're going right to bed." He saw this not as the end all be all but rather a situation he could weasel out of. So right in front of me, this kid apologized to my roommate by his mother's behest and he did so begrudgingly and somewhat sarcastically. His mother accepted this and rescinded her comment about going to bed and in fact told him he could play the game that my roommate refused him to play. That *** kid won because his mom is an enabler and gives in waaaaaaay too easily. Because there is no set boundary, this kid is going to be spoiled as *** and he's going to grow up thinking that anything and everything is available to him with a little bit of weaseling. I just sat there shaking my head. There are entirely too many parents like this nowadays, and then I get those kids who feel like they can do whatever they want.

I don't think Corporal Punishment is in order necessarily, but parents need to be consistent with their boundaries.

I officially tried pancakes for the first time!!

Though we don't have any maple. What are some alternatives people use?

New gundam was awesome

Peanut butter and white corn syrup.

What kinda pancakes? The crepe like ones we have we eat with sugar or raspberry/strawberry jam, some have some lemon+sugar

Just the common american pancakes, I didn't know there were different versions, thus I can't give an answer.

Yeeeeeah...those don't exist either. I ate it with nutella like a crêpe for now.

Argh. I'm 2 cards away from having the event Gohan at Super Attack 10, but it keeps dropping the awakening medals for Bojack instead. @_@

Google 'pannkakor' and you'll see the ones we eat

My copy still works, I bought the game launch week from a different site that sold it for 25 bucks? Still works perfectly fine today.

I had the same concerns, looked into it and I guess it is legit? I guess in some countries they are sold that cheap.
