Incarceration, as in imprisonment? Well, I wouldn't say I'm a fan of any type of punishment, and the preemptive effect isn't as effective as we could have wished. Which is why people need to be taught why doing something is wrong, not just be scared away from doing it. They don't learn anything from that. By your last sentence, I assume you mean I'm being sarcastic instead of explaining myself? But I have explained myself. A toddler doesn't know what is right and wrong. It's human nature to be curious. But a toddler is too young to be taught what is right and wrong, ergo we need to keep them away from doing bad stuff until they're old enough to understand. You, on the other hand, should know why curiousity isn't even near being an excuse for stabbing someone.

I know I'll get attacked severely for this, but I believe that if brought up properly, kids wouldn't behave in a way that was bad enough to require hitting them. Hitting is just the ultimate sign of giving up. It shows you can't bring up your children without fear. That's how I see it. You see it differently. But none of us really have the experience needed, have we? None of us have tried to bring up a child from scratch.

to that guy!

Fighting fire with fire? Not the way to go. Force only ups resistance and it escalates. Sure, maybe it works in some lucky cases, but imagine if the bully had gotten mad - one way ticket to the hospital. Sorry, but would you mind trying to explain instead of being sarcastic? I really don't see your point.

No, you don't. You know stabbing is wrong. Children don't. You can't teach children till a certain age what is right and wrong. You just keep them from doing it. I think we need to make clear that there is a difference between babies/toddlers and from about age 5 and up. Babies/toddlers are not old enough to be taught what is right and wrong. But they're so young that they're easily influenced without the need for violence. When they get older, you begin to teach them WHY something is wrong, slowly buolding their moral grounds. Smacking only teaches them fear, which isn't the same as respect. Children should have a good relationship with their parents. Respect is what drives a well-functioning society. Fear is what drives a dictatorship. I hate going to extremes like this, but it seems I have to to explain what I mean.

You clearly don't get the point here ... I still find violence wrong. No matter how you put it, I still find it wrong.
-
But they're not evil at that point. They're just curious. It's natural. Surely they shouldn't be smacked for that.

Of course he are allowed to say it. Just like we are allowed to laugh at his stupidity.
-
Do you see the pattern here? You all presume kids are stupid and evil per definition. It's all about upbringing. And frankly, in my opinion, many parents are the ones who don't understand shit today.

What's that supposed to mean?

OMGSOCUUUUUTE!!! Did I mention I love Pikachu?
-
It's opinions like this that I hate. Do people think kids are animals that need to have sense beaten into them?
-
I don't believe violence is needed to bring up children. Discipline, yes, but violence - nono. Violence ain't the answer, peeps. Not in my book it isn't.

Since Danish plates only have 2 letters followed by 5 numbers, it doesn't allow for much lulz.

Ignorance should be a crime ... Not innocent ignorance, but this type of ignorance.

What is the secret alchemist recipe for gold?

You really gotta try harder than that.

Nope, Pinocchio's nose wouldn't grow if he said "not cake". "Cake" is not true, ergo "not cake" is true. Simple true/false logic.

Nah, you're right, and that's one thing that buggers me a lot: So many stupid, bad, and downright horrendous things have been done in the name of religion. And even the religious texts contradict themselves on various subjects. But the essence of most religions is love. Unfortunately it can be hard to see sometimes.

Hm, what about eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism? How are their views on homosexuality?

Says the person who bothers typing the post on a forum. :p

Happy birthday to ((2*7)/14)-1!

Of course. That's kinda what I was trying to get through. You shouldn't be someone you don't want to be. Be who you want to be, not who others want you to be. If you're unhappy about yourself, change yourself into what you want to be. Of course, you have to know what is good and what is bad to be. Don't become an anorexic because you find yourself fat when in reality you're not. It would also be bad to turn into a cocky, lying big-head yourself. It can be difficult to get to know yourself, but our Owen here seems to know what is right and what is wrong.

It's one of those unexplained things that happen sometimes. They're really creepy, but you'll probably never find out what happened.

Dragonball live action movie in production
Dannyboy-the-Dane replied to arab_freak's topic in General Chit Chat
Sounds contradictory, but the fake trailer looks more "real" in regards to actually making a Dragon Ball movie ...
