I don't like the average small person, screaming and tantrums. But if it's one that knows how to shut up, sure i can put up with it.
Like Yahtzee, I detest small children...

Maybe I'm just jealous that they are unaware and ignorant. I was pretty much a happy person until I realized that the world wasn't nice and shiny, and that the super-nazi-terrorist didn't live on the other side of the universe.Sparrow said:
I would agree on the bad parenting, though I do disagree on the beating. It does make discipline easier, and it can work, though I turned out very fine and orderly, and all I got for doing bad things was some small form of punishment, and yelled at by my dad if it was a big problem.
The yelling worked a lot, especially since my dad is over 6 feet tall, and was sort overweight at the time and strong. IT was very intimidating for a kid.

I too hate children, especialy in theaters. Just because we are watching a kid's movie doesn't give you license to ignore your kid babbling over the movie. I have always thought that you shouldn't take your kid to see good children's movies. That is why we have shit like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Nobody cares because nobody over the age of 12 is there volentarily.
While not someone with a fondness for children, I tolerate them most of the time. Babies I'm fine with. It's around 2-4 year olds that annoy me the most. The tantrum years... Dreaded by parents everywhere. For discipline though, my parents used a method that I myself use when babysitting. Ignoring them. If a kid is acting up when I'm babysitting, kicking doors, throwing things and screaming etc, I just ignore them. And it works every single time. You know why? Because most of the time they do it for attention. Every single time I've ignored a kid I'm babysitting, I've only acknowledged that they're there when they start behaving and calm down. It takes a while but it works. They're like dogs but a bit less intelligent.
Your probably right, the thing is there are more loud kids than there are loud adults. I have no problem with kids being bitchy as long as they shut up. They never do sadly.(There are always exceptions of course)Julianking93 said:
Eh, how people raise their children is so incredibly subjective that I'm not even going to touch it. We'll all still have our own opinions no matter who says what here.
Edit: Although I do tend to detest anyone who fails to do something that I would consider necessary or second nature. But most people do that anyway.

Studies have clearly shown that, so long as punishment is consistent, physical and non-physical punishments are equally effective.
The only difference is that smacking your child takes less effort to be consistent with.
So the question isn't "How good a parent are you?" but "How lazy a parent are you?"

Nothing wrong with a educational slap, I got it a couple of times and it worked. There is a difference between beating a kid, and a educational slap that many people do not seem to get.
Beating a kid is, when a kid is throwing a tantrum you immediately resort to excessive violence. Ie: A grown up punching/slapping a kid with all his/her strength is a example of this.
Or, while not hitting very hard, multiple hits untill the child is completely 'beat up.'
Anything that is classified as excessive violence.
A educational slap is: When a child is throwing a tantrum over sweets like the one you saw in the video. And after multiple warnings still insists on throwing the tantrum, giving the child a tap, not strong enough to make it severely hurt, but enough to shock them out of their tantrum, followed by a severe warning is in my opinion not bad parenting.
People, talk a lot about 'Child abuse' and every parent that results to violence fails as a educator, but it all needs to be viewed in context and matters of severity.
Example one: Resorting to excessive violence immediatly without further delay
Example two: Giving the child a 'wake up call' after multiple warnings and conversations. Educational Slaps are there to enforce the boundaries you have set for your child when all other matters fail, and only as a last resort.
My parents only hit me three times in my whole life, and looking back at it, I deserved it. And overal it has made me a better kid and person today.

I help teach Taekwondo classes, so I work with kids a lot, and don't mind them at all. In fact, I sort of dread the idea of getting a real job next summer, as I feel that the sort of adults I'd have to deal with in retail-type work would be much worse.Julianking93 said:
Martial arts classes are perhaps the best cure for insufficient discipline.
The thing is, a smack on the butt is fine(As long as your not using alot of force) is fine, as it will do no real damage, just send a sharp pain signalling "Don't". Smacking them in the face like some people have suggested, is not fine. But meh, that's just my 2 cents.
Besides, can you really talk bad about children when they are just acting like miniature adults?

Whats wrong with a little "Aggressive Expansion" or just branching out to one thing and leaving everything else alone? lolPegghead said:
The only thing that annoys me than the rude/crude/idiotic kids are the arrogant parents who go
"oh my child is never/would never/ blah blah blah"
the parents that feel that their kid can do no wrong despite the 13 other kids who bums have been bashed with wedgies.
