I like my country. It's not the best country in the world, but it's pretty ******* awesome. Yeah ... we're going through hard times, and we will always have our share of dumbasses and evil sons of bitches ... but overall I feel we are mostly good people with good intentions.
I would consider myself loyal to my country, but not loyal to the government of my country. That's just how I see it, my loyalty is to the people who actually built up my country, who sacrificed their lives and well-being for the country and it's people. Not to the whores and liars that call themselves politicians and claim to have our best interests at heart.
I found the protagonist to be annoying and the love interest to be boring. I found the ending to be stupid. I also found the methods of dealing with the bullies to be ineffective. That's just my opinion, though. Nothing wrong with liking the movie.
One missed meal? Ok. But, parents tend to stick with what they think works. If the no dinner punishment becomes a habit ... no ... let's not do that. Let's not even start with that habit.
if the no dinner punishment becomes a habit then the child will learn not to do whatever it is that gets them punished, because they will realise how much food matters
Control of nutrition is one of the simplest and most effective ways to train any life form. Survival instincts override disobedience
But what about trust? Shelter and food are things that should always be guaranteed. A parent has to be a trustworthy figure, what message would you send a kid if you intentionally send him to bed without his basic physiological needs fulfilled?
And insisting on this punishment only leads to resentment, considering there are so many other ways to discipline a kid...
A parent's responsibility is to see to the health of the child, short term food deprivation is not unhealthy.
If a child repeatedly misbehaves to warrant that punishment, then the odds are pretty good that they're sneaking food from elsewhere, or that they have a mental health issue impairing ordinary psychological responses.
Perhaps there's a rare case where it doesn't work. If there is some rare edge case where it needs to be done for a significant length of time, then the child can be given a diet of nutritious, but extremely boring things (such as unseasoned porridge
Again, in most cases, natural instincts will take over. People will do whatever it takes to avoid the threat of starvation, and that instinct has evolved to kick in LONG before starvation actually happens.
A human can healthily survive for weeks, sometimes months, without food, depending on fat storage reserves, and can maintain their body at full functionality during that period. But people will start to become hungry, irritable, and desperate for food within half a day of deprivation.
This results in taking whatever action is necessary to resume the food supply, whether that be going out and hunting something, storming the palace of the corrupt lord who's stealing your grain, or in this particular case, apologising to, and obeying your parents, in order to get dinner.
Personally i'd argue that it's a far more effective, more humane, and less harmful punishment, than violence or social isolation
Personally I think denying a kid a meal when you can afford it is bad. Kids need to eat, just like you do. Making them go hungry just isn't healthy. Denying them dessert, yeah. Do that as much as you please. Dessert is not needed. But deny them part of a healthy diet? Nah. I just don't believe in it. Sorry.
Taking away the phone and giving him a meal he may not like but is nutritional is a better route in my uneducated opinion. Call me crazy, but if you regularly deny your kids meals, over time that's just not good. Take away other things. Like the phone, the computer, the tablet. Ground the kid. Deny the kid other privileges. Basic food is not a privilege. You can go to prison to denying a kid basic food.
I'm sorry to jump on, but from the point of view of a father as well as someone who has gone hungry before I will not ever in my life deny my son a meal, I will take his toys away, ground him and ban him from watching TV, but deny him food? I'm sorry but that doesn't seem like a good idea in any situation at all.
the point isnt to starve him, the point is to relieve him of the arrogance associated with thinking that he is a special snowflake and can treat others bad
I still don't see the point in denying a meal over that. Yeah they way arrogant about having better food then poorer kids but i would tell them it's wrong to be arrogant to people and ask if they'd like if someone with better food then us said the same to them, also to let know that just as easily as they taunted the poor kid it possible to stop buying all the "good" food he gloated about and just get the "cheaper" stuff and see if he still appreciates the hard work and effort gone through to provide such food.
to be honest I think it's best to leave it at each child responds differently to punishments and all parents use their own methods and people can debate forever on which are wrong and which are right but in the end it's what works for you that matters.
If a kid's actually being arrogant about his food I'd say there are bigger issues to solve and that denying him dinner isn't that good of a punishment.
It would only make the kid cynical faster, imho. Candy, dessert, games, sports, TV, ok - but not essential things like food.
And if the kid refuses dinner, either find a better dinner option or wait until the kids gets hungry enough that he'll have to eat dinner. All while keeping desserts and treats locked away.
my opinions for yours
1. religion is retarded. period. it is dead weight on society and is doomed to eventually fade.
2. superhero movies are only tailored to the target audiance of people who are already fans i feel. I dont like superhero movies of superheroes I've never heard of or cared for.
3. I ******* hate children. If the kid wont ******* listen, severe punishment should be in order. make the little **** shut the **** up in the future.
4. fedoras ARE cool looking, but most of the people who wear them now are NOT cool looking, so now its got bad association.
5. I never saw why people liked karate kid either.
6. I've been to poor schools and rich schools in the past. the lunch variety between the two is massive. poor schools severe cardboard pizza while rich school have a sub making bar.
1: I couldn't agree more.
2: Most people know about most of the main superheroes (Superman, Batman etc.) so they're easy to target at a wider audience. I think the Shazam movie and such is going to be only for the fans of that hero.
3: Are you ******* demented? Child abuse is what creates psychopaths who run around raping and killing people.
4: Fedoras look like **** . I'd rather people wear sombreros.
5: It's easy to see why some people DON'T like it. Jaden "The Philosphical ********* " Smith.
6: Not from a country with that kind of lunch system in schools, so can't say anything about it.
I dont deny them dinner, they will lose privileges such as TV, internet, or videogames for some time. if he gets pissed over his dinner and doesnt want to eat, i will put some plastic wrap over it, and tell him, if he gets hungry during the night, it will be waiting. Im not saying he cant eat anything the next day, but for the remainder of the night,if he is hungry, its what he has.
I love the chicken fajitas they make around here, and the tacos, and the hamburgers, and the pizza, and the tater tots. Too bad I'm not in school anymore, but when I sub taught I got to eat school lunches again. Omfg they were awesome.
