Yeah, if there was any doubt before, its all erased now. TRollsevelt is fucking with us.

If you can't accomplish corporal discipline with a belt (no, not excessive use, but reasonable and appropriate use), then you're either too fucking strict, or your kid has a psychological issue that needs to be looked into.


My dad just had to hit me three times across the bum with a belt. Not the "evilla" (or the metal part) but the leather and a light touch on the bum just to make me cry without leaving marks. This just happened around 3 times in my lifetime.

Children should play outside too, studying is important but it's not as important as developing social skills and making friends.

5 years ago I was 15, I think my ideal then was the same back then, minus wanting a specific religion, as I was not yet Catholic and was religiously pretty apathetic. But my moral expectations were roughly the same, I was still not into premarital sex or pro-choicers and whatnot.

The reason why we have a job is because someone else needs us, the reason why we struggle and we feel happy when we accomplish something is because of the fact we busted our ass to do it.
Why would you want an ideal life if it means not challenging yourself and your perceptions of the world?
The only way I wish to be challenged is at my own discretion. I don't want to be challenged by external factors I have no control of. It's not a good challenge if it is unpleasant and contrary to my desires, then it's a bad challenge.


Eh, we all have different perceptions I suppose.

I didn't grow up in a very unified household with a normal life. In fact my life was pretty fucking abnormal even though it had a facade of normality.

It's perhaps why I don't mind challenges coming to me so much.

Mine has, definitely.
5 years ago I could have told you I wanted a deeply religious girl who I would wait for marriage and she'd be hyper-feminine/a gamer and smart and a wonderful person to me. Much like Flood's ideal partner.
Nowadays, I just want someone to appreciate me the way I am and accepts me the way I am, flaws and all. It's why I am with who I am right now.
I'm not sure if you're taking a dig at me with this post. Are you implying my ideal is immature or something? Or just using it for an incidental comparison?

I say good for her.

It makes me happy when a woman is perfectly comfortable with herself and doesn't feel the need to appease the system.

I agree with you, I don't think we should use a swagger stick every time though, a belt is usually enough.

Were the stairs wooden or covered with a carpet? It's definitely child abuse if you were slammed into wooden stairs by your father.

Short shorts aren't always worn for the purpose of sex appeal. Sometimes it's because it's just hot outside.

1) The only way to do something is to keep them occupied make them play golf,polo( i played this game), boxing, cricket, tennis,debate,music etc. Make them tired so they go to sleep

2) Make sure children study for atleast 8 hours everyday, we work for 8 hours and children should do the same

3) its not torture

Oh, of course.

I'm just saying that if "looking sexy" means "looking for attention" I guess I prefer my women getting the attention. It is a turn on to know I have a sexy partner and that she's with me and not with someone else.
