mfw your comment

I'm not even sure if a flip flop is a real weapon. If you went to the police, and claimed assault with a deadly weapon, and then told them that weapon was a flip flop, they'll likely beat you with something that isn't broken by the gap between my big toe and that other fucking toe I don't know the name of.

Everything is a weapon nowadays
The UK classified limes as a weapon...

I could kill someone with a lime. I could kill someone with a belt. With a little imagination, I could kill someone with a spoon. I'd have a pretty hard time, killing someone with a fucking flipflop.

With a Spoon? Did you know they made a short movie about you?

and after all that running that fast ass didn't lose any weight

*fat

i mean...if you shove it down their throat....

The majority of flip flops either wouldn't fit in your mouth, or you could bite through it and eat it, because it's a flip flop. Even trying to beat someone to death with it, you might end up giving them a nice breeze and maybe, just maybe, a bruise.

...i love you XD

I feel emotions similar to consuming large amounts of chocolate you too.

Men don't let men wear flip flops.

Is that what happened to your Englishing skills?

whoever in my city bought a fucking footlong bread at subway and used it to beat someone, without using their fists is a total douche....I misses going to subway after 10.....

you obviously don't have portuguese/Italian friends with angry grandparents. Flipflops and slippers.. it's like they trained for the apocolypse with hat shit, their accuracy is un-fucking-canny.

Thumbed your comment...
... But only because Jeremy McKinnon's Beard XD

You're obviously not Hispanic.

If you're Dominican, it's a registered lethal weapon.

Like seriously, a mother could beat the crap out of you with a flip flop, in the middle of the street in DR, no one would give a shit

Me. having arab parents ain't the greatest thing ever

Imagine how horrible it had been if it were crocs

wait.... wut

My Paint skills are off the charts

im sorry but your comment man XD

Hispanic mothers. Holy crap, my cuban mom. Spanked me with one, my ass stung for days.

usually your grandma or great grandma if you were Mexican, Hispanic.

my father used to hit me on the ass one good solid time with a piece of 2x4 >:(

i had a similar experience with fire. Loved watching stuff burn. Lit a piece of paper up when i was 9 and it got on the carpet and singed it. My dad had just put it down the day before. Dad notices. EVERYONE DOWN STAIRS NOW!! ohshitohshitohshit.jpg
He doesn't ask us directley because he wanted to see if we lie. He knew if we would, it was physcic. We all lined up by age. Asked my little bro. " Did you burn my brand new carpet?" "no sir." " get up stairs." Asks my sister and the same thing happens. Gets to me. " did you do it?' " No sir" He turned to my bigger bro and told him to go upstairs. howthefuckdidheknow.jpg.

No fucking kid deserves to get hit with anything. That is such an out dated view on parenting.

BELIEVE IT OR FUCKING NOT, you can raise kids just as well by verbally punishing them, instead of causing completely unnecessary physical pain.

Seriously. You do NOT need to beat your kids.

It's not beating. It's more like when you smack a dog on the nose to let it know it's done wrong.

Regardless, I just think it's much more logical to have some respect for your kid, have him respect you, and verbally punish him. Make it clear what he did wrong.

If you were contemplating doing something that could get you into trouble with your parents, your incentive not to do it should be "I respect my parents and I won't do this to them" not "Well... if I do I'll get a beating. Best not"

I find that one style seems like it would produce more free thinking minds, and one more militarily focused minds.

Yeah, it's fucking abuse to get hit across the ass 1-3 times because your kid decided FUCK YOU and broke the TV when you told them NOT to play in the living room and you have to pay 700$ to replace it. Not to mention the fire they could've started from the burning electronics because it was plugged in at the time. Or the terror of losing everything you own because the fire spread and they forgot to call 911. Or the toxic chemicals and particles in that TV could kill your kid eventually from cancer. Sure that's building on one simple thing but it's hard enough to afford kids but if you look at the bigger picture it also puts a child in the perspective that you are the adult, you are not their friend, you cannot be their friend. You may love them enough to give up your own life for them, but the minute you become their friend before the age of 40 then they walk all over you.

You can STILL punish them with methods like taking shit away from them, grounding them and similar methods. And talk to them to make sure they know what they did wrong and why it's wrong. Don't make them not want to do bad things because they're afraid they'll get a beating, make them not bad things because they don't want to disappoint you.

Also.... I never said anything about them being your friend.
I've read through my comments here. Not one mention of it.
I think you just made that up...

I said have respect for them, but for gods sake, you can EASILY make it clear that they're your parents, and are in control of you WITHOUT a beating.
You don't need someone to hit you to realize that you're below them.

Physically punishing your children is unnecessarily unpleasant for them.
Sure, it might work. But it can also work with a less cruel system, and your child will have an overall happier life not being afraid of their parents.

I mean, I'm not scared of my parents.
The reason I don't do things they want me not to do is because I respect them and don't want them to be disappointed in me.

Not just because I'll get hit.
That would be a TERRIBLE way to look at it.

I cited your method equivalent to being their friend. I'm not, a cozy lovable mom all the fucking time I'm a tyrant when I am needed to be and you can take your red thumb and suck it. I'm fully respectful in the sense that other people's methods may work better, and that's for THEIR kids. But with some of these brats swinging is the only thing that gets through to them. The next time you're in a super market and you hear some brat saying buy me that buy me that you can't honestly tell me you don't feel the compulsion to slap that child and say "ENOUGH!" I've been around enough years to appreciate the smacks I've been given and know that because my mother hit me with her hand when it was neccicary and I've struck more than one bottom that way myself that it hurts you too. You suffer with your kid you don't take the pussy way out and just hit them with an object because you do that then you're not subjecting yourself to the consceous choice you have just made to inflict pain. Also, I'm not afraid of my mom, I'm afraid of the response I'd get if I fucked up her shit, and she's 50 and I have a healthy respect for that back hand.

I agree. I think that if you need to resort to hurting your child to teach them something, then you're parenting wrong. You should teach your child manners and good behavior through respect and communication from the start, that way they'll grow up respecting you, respecting authority, and without any resentment. If your parents hit you to teach you that you're doing something wrong, well then they're not parenting correctly to begin with.

Let me elaborate with you a little more then on this. My prerequsits for hitting my kid involve breaking a window, smashing electronic equipment, attempting to shove their baby sister in the washer, and running up a credit card and by hit I mean 1-3 swats across the butt. And if I'm willing to hit for that then that teaches the kid to be aware of the strangers around them before they go pissing on someone else's cereal. Because if MOM is willing to strike me across the butt because I didn't listen to her and took something of her's without asking that I was told not to, what's THIS GUY over here going to do to me for stealing? Manners do work, but I believe in only having to scare the shit out of my kids once or twice and that should be enough. I was spanked a grand total of 9 times in my life, and always with an open hand up until I was 17 years old if I fucked up and I never felt abused my mother used it as a last resort when I figured out I didn't have to give a shit about what she said. It was only when I heard her tell me to, "Come here." That i panicked and wised up. Got much faster about it too as I got older and didn't get hit at all between 11 to 17 when at 17 I thought I was big enough to get away with telling her to fuck off. The answer was Nope. And my kids will never be old enough to tell me to fuck off either.

WAT.

Are you me?

I'm also 19, and also got beaten, which also in turn made me respect my parents.

Safe, brosif.

because being away for college changes you I guess..

How is being respectful messed up?

the switch...

its how your parents treat you in general that really affects how you will turn out
