Your a primitive brute.
There are other methods of discipline other than brute force, abusive hitting.
Scary how some / many humans have not progressed.
The "problem" with our unruly youth lies not in being "undisciplined by brute force" as much as all the frap the entertainment industry throws at them
for $$$.
I wouldn't trade being a young person in today's society for anything, money or my youth back. Young people today have so much more they have to
contend with.
Our society is mucked up big time and our precious children are exposed to filth and perversions before most are a dozen years out of diapers.
Parents having to work 2 jobs each to make ends meet, most children have no parents until 6-7 PM.
So many people having such harsh lives they can't even begin to make a marriage work (takes emotional energy) leaving 45% of all children in one
parent households.
Most of the population on prescription drugs (children and grown ups).
We live in a society where being mean is cool, up is down, down is up, right is wrong and wrong is right, justice is bent, politicians and leaders are
bought, we're constantly at war with each other, the real big scam artists stealing trillions(bankers and CEO's) go free while the person caught
stealing a loaf of bread is hung and all the rest of it.
If you really believe what you posted, you my dear sir are a very scary person indeed and I am most thankful not to be among one of your friends.
Children do not learn to behave by being beaten...................I ran away from a person exactly like in that film and but for the grace of some
luck, fell in with a group of good people vs bad people that would have, could have taken advantage of me.
What you saw was a adult man out of control...............a person with anger management issues and you can bet what you saw on film was just the tip
of the iceberg.
I pray you have no children and if you do, heaven help them.
All children should be loved, cherished, talked to, worked with and yes it takes mega energy and time.
He could have simply taken her PC away, or shut down cable for a month or talked to her.
Our oldest son (ADHD) was the child from hell. We spent 15 years in family counseling and in the end had to commit him at the expense of a second
mortgage we are still paying off.
But, it was worth every single penny and every single night of heartache.
It would have been a lot easier to beat him, believe me - it was tempting.
But, he is now 35, has a good job, is a excellent father and has straightened out.
It's so easy to beat them..............but to really win them over to your side, to make them see you're not the enemy takes fortitude, kindness and
firmness.
At the birth of his daughter, our child from hell, took me out in the hall and said, "Mom, I now realize the hell I put you and dad through and I
will forever be sorry for being such a bad son."
Beating them and that man was beating her, was taking the easy way out.
Again, he got out of control and to me showed a reverting back to being a primate.
No human, no not even any animal should be beat like what we saw in that film - EVER.
Again, you in my opinion are warped and I feel sorry for you.
I'm sure nothing I have said will change you..............sad.
You don't realize that once you cross certain lines, like physically abusing another person (or animal) that line can never be taken back.
Nobody should be hitting anybody.
And lastly.................hitting a child shows them that violence and acting out your anger is okay and that is why our world is so screwed up
today.
When will humanity grow up?
