Parents Force Daughter to Drink Lethal Amounts of Soda

[DarthSkywalker]

That's what i've been saying. Especially the bolded part.Being dumb and /or ignorant excuses goes right out the window if you really look into this objectively.

charl likes playing devil's advocate, even when there is no real argument in the case being discussed.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

Tell me it ain't so,Charl!

But like i said earlier, there are times when playing the devil's advocate is approriate, this time it ain't...and these two imbeciles we're discussing doesn't deserve it, so....

 

[charl_huntress]

In how many of these situations were they purposely causing great bodily harm?

C'mon...people have inadvertently killed people while trying to cause harm. It's the fact they didn't intend the harm to kill is the point.

I think if you look at this objectively you have to factor that their ignorance might have been a factor. You can't just dismiss that.

I don't think it's ever wrong to look at things from as many angles as you can. Limiting your point of view because of anger, righteous or not, is what leads to corrupt and narrowed minded thinking. Unfortunately...sometime it takes a bit of experience to know this.

Well charl...questioning things is indeed good. Questioning literally everything is one step away from being paranoid.

Sometimes you just gotta accept the fact that the sky is indeed blue, water is wet, women will always have secrets....and Charl just likes to play the devil's advocate for giggles

Naw not always for giggles, but I think the practice is good. I try not to jump to conclusions in "real life" too. That's not the same as questioning everything. It just means I'm cautious...and don't like to jump to conclusion like some people.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

^^ Excuses...excuses...face it, Charl, you're just getting cynical in yer old age

 

[charl_huntress]

What's make you think I wasn't cynical when I was young? lol

 

[Spider-Aziz]

In the metaphorical sense yes if you're talking about something like hard work. In the physical sense is doesn't, it's unnecessary.

Sometimes, it's the best remaining way to discipline
Spanking is not all that bad

If that's the last resort then clearly you're not trying hard enough.

 

[The Endless]

Using physical discipline is lazy. Any scrub can spank their child if they are naughty. It takes someone with a bit more savvy to instil discipline in other ways. And physical discipline might work in the short term, but in the long term 9 times out of 10 it breeds resentment and hatred.

 

[charl_huntress]

I hear this all this time...usually from people with NO kids. My first question is how did your parents discipline you?

 

[The Endless]

Ground me or not let me play my snes or genesis lol. I can't recall what they did when i was a toddler tbh.

To be fair a little tap on the ass doesn't do any harm. But a lot of the time I think physically discipline that is any harsher than that is more about the parent simply losing their temper rather than trying to actually instil discipline.

 

[DeadPresident]

I think that may be the norm for some though...and there's no telling who can have kids these days. That's why propose some licensure...lol.

I would say frequently people are not given long prison sentences for unknowingly killing someone they did not mean to.

Definitely this. You need a license to drive a car, own a gun or buy an exotic pet but every mother****** with working reproductive organs can perpetuate his/her (potentially) moronic views on life for another generation? Who thought that was a brilliant idea?

That's the way disciplining ran through in one side of the family, with a lot of loving we can't forget, now we talk about the memories and laugh at them at times

There may be some parents who spank their children in anger, which of course no one should do. You should never punish a dog in anger. You're not going to be objective and the punishment will be lost in your anger, but I don't think spanking when done appropriately is bad. I can see why some are opposed to it, and that's fine, but I think it can be an appropriate form of discipline when used appropriately.

lol...I say we should license parents jokingly, but I'm kind of serious. If not licensure I think there needs to be more responsibility placed on parents for their child's/children actions. I feel bad for even suggesting that, but I really feel there are some people who have kids who don't take parenting seriously enough, which leads to delinquent kids with delinquent behavior.

Nope, it completely needs to happen. There have been enough studies that indicate a large part of behaviour from infancy through to adulthood is shaped by parental input and observational learning. A parent is directly responsible for how a child is socialized and ultimately what kind of contribution they make they make to the world, I'm not saying it should go as far as an individual accused of murder should have his parents be accountable in part, but there should definitely be an aptitude test of a sort.

I find it strange that to adopt a child there are a horde of tests and prerequisites and standards people need to comply with, but in terms of natural procreation everybody and anybody can have a child. With the global population where it is, and statistics indicating that people with lower socioeconomic and educational standards have more children it's necessary to implement some kind of influence. For every one Bill Nye or Steve Jobs being born there are 5 Justin Biebers and like 10 George Bushes.

I don't know if you've seen a movie called Idiocracy, with Luke Wilson I think it is, it's a pretty accurate parody of this topic.

Not in a way I want repeated.

 

[Charlie Boy]

If these parents made their child die from drinking too much Pepsi, I'd say give em the chair.

Pepsi's disgusting.

My parents whooped and every parent in my family does or did. We dont resent and hate our parents. Looking back, I was whooped for good reason. I was being a disrespectul brat. I got no problem with what my parents did.

But I do think there is a line that can be crossed. A parent can go to far with whooping.

 

[The Endless]

I'm not really talking about getting a tanned backside. I'm talking about when parents take it too far or lose their temper. That isn't discipline.

If my dad beat the crap out of me when i was a kid as soon as i got old enough i would have beaten the crap out of him. Why would i respect someone like that? Doesn't matter if it's a parent. Respect should be earned.

But if it was Dr. Pepper?

What's the worst that could happen?

Oh I gotcha and agree. There is definitely a line. Whooping can be taken too far.

 

[Charlie Boy]

Then we would know their daughter died happy.

 

[The Endless]

Dissarano and coke tastes exactly like Dr Pepper. Mmmmmm...
