Poorly.
I would be a piss-poor parent, because I hate children, and having one of my own isn't going to magically touch my heart and make me capable of non-romantic love.

So I'd probably just send it to an adoption agency.
And that's the way to go!

I'd raise the how my parents raised me. Time out if I did something bad at first, then spanking.

Gads, I can't believe people honestly believe spanking is a form of abuse. All it does is act as a deterrent. When a kid knows physical punishment is the result for doing something stupid, they are not going to do it again unless they have serious mental problems.

Now, my two brothers didn't receive much of any of this, mostly just yelling and "grounding", which both of them ignored. And they're both currently self-centred egotistical assholes. The first more so, but the younger is taking after him more because his way is easier and I've been at college for a year.

So, yeah. Be nice when you can, be firm and cross when you need to. As the saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a parent to stand up the the kid and say 'NO!' and smack his little behind.".
That's how the saying goes?...Dammit!I already rented a whole village...

Probably similar to how my parents raised me. Which was extremely level headed and treating us like people not like pets.

One thing I see that annoys me is to many people let there kids be raised by TV. I see kids now that run into the house and just plop down in front of it. I remember having to ask permission to watch TV when I was young, so I spent most of my time outside. My younger sister and I had no little kid pudgy cause we were constantly running around outside like loons. My parents always rewarded us for playing outside, they'd buy us toys to have out in the yard, learned to make home made bubble solution and actually played outside with us.

I don't think I want my children to be involved with religion at a young age. I remember going to church with my grandparents and it was terrifying. When they reach their teens I let them go out and decide for themselves. I think so many people try to push their kids into the church and it just back fires.

Read with my kids. I remember my mom reading to me all the time. She got me books from the book fairs at school, garage sales and things like that. Taught me to read at a young age, my little sister at an even younger age. So when we got in school, we wanted to learn. Once we learned to read we started to want to help with other stuff.

It isn't the exact saying, but it's the one that uses common sense, thus, is correct.

The phrase, "boy i brought you into this world i can take you out of it" did wonders for the respect i have for my dad so i think i'll use that with my son.

I'd be strict as hell but for good reasons. I'd try to be as involved in their lives as possible. More importantly I would teach them that there is no reason to be rude to a person whom you have no personal grudge against, and to teach them that if we can't get along as a species then we are doomed.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Nice and that would probably be classed as a social experiment.

Anywho I would raise my child like I was raised strict but fair. I have a great deal of freedom but it has been beatin (nerely literraly) that there are things i don't do. I for example as a kid was brought up on the basis of if i do anything wrong i get a slap and it has done me no ill effects. As i view it raising a kid is a lot like a puppy you need to give him a treat when he does something right and a slap with a newspaper if he attacks your grandmother.
Err...don't dogs who attack people get put down? >.> Wonder why that doesn't work for cats... (Although, I thought general consensus was that you -never- strike a dog, a light tap and a stern voice at most, which is as an odd side note is far less than most children get. Weird.)
Its because people like dogs more because kids are clingy crying annoying things

to start, I'll unleash a minigun upon my children if they procure a bratz doll or other equally whoreish product, smoke, do drugs, drink before they're 18, bully another children at school or become obsessed with mobile phones.

I'll teach my kids parkour from the age of 7 so they win epically from a young age.

Children are like ugly pets that can't do any tricks.
True, they are indeed ugly creatures with little charm and for a long period of time they have little or no control of their bowels (it will happen to me again as well i am sure). I do have to argue that they can't do any tricks though. Some of them you can train up to earn you money which you can then in turn exchange for goods and services! It takes little longer to teach them these tricks, much longer than teaching them to roll over or even poohing in the right place when compared to a dog but they are normally more profitable.

I am sure an outstanding gentleman such as yourself would love to train a small ugly thing to become, oooh i don't know, some kind of brainwashed assasin for hire with you controling the contracts and more importantly, the money. My personal preference would be to train my son (and it would be a son as i would sort them out with some funky procedure to correct that mistake) to become a premiership footballer, then force them, with a combination of guilt and superior vocabulary, to give me 80% of their wages. I am not worried if they are emotionally stunted and speak like that odd ball from the goonies just so long as i get my money!!!

(There is a possibility that i may not be acting entirely serious...no children were hurt in the writing of this post)
