Poll: Is time out going too far?

[Danpascooch]

Fuck each and every parent who is against this. Ever since the pussies put a stop to spanking there has been an overflow of misbehaving asshole kids. Time out is barely effective, and now they want to stop that too? I say, lets get rid of the closets and bring back the ruler. Beat these bastards till they shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. If more kids were spanked when I was going to elementry school I wouldn't have been bullied as much.

You said fuck like four times, I am going to get the belt, bend over, because I am going to hit you on the ass with it like a dozen times

My parents tried to use tobasco sauce to make me stop swearing. Every time I swore they would put tobasco sauce on my tounge and I had to let it sit there for an hour. It didn't work. 'New Age' punishments don't fucking work.

Well there's a cruel punishment right there, no wonder you seem so cruel, you're emulating your parents

MY DEFINITION OF CRUEL PUNISHMENT:

If it inflicts any kind of physical harm, permanent or temporary (spanking, that tobasco thing) or it causes psychological damage by playing off of phobias (closets, play off claustrophobia)

What ever happened to docking allowance? Or taking the video games away? (for parents)
Or good ole' detention (For schools)

when they say "we do this because they have extreme problems and cause danger to other kids" well, idiots, its not up to you to lock up people who pose a danger, that's what the police are for, jesus, maybe the school should just have a jail on site, that's basically what the closets are, but crueller because they are more closed off and smaller

Kids like money, try docking allowance rather than beating the shit out of your kids, it works

So? I couldn't get the link to work for some reason, but as long as they weren't there more then half an hour or so, it doesn't matter. And, as said before, i think kids should be spanked. I am sick of people saying this fucks them up, because it doesn't. It shows them that you need to listen or get hurt. It's just like dogs, when they jump you push them down and hit them lightly. I'm sot sayong beat them with an aluminum bat, but a spank or slap really isn't a big deal at all...

Bollocks to that a good swift belt across the nads I say.

 

[coldshadow]

not at a school

 

[Hainted]

Time out the first time and a paddled bottom everytime after.

 

[thiosk]

its better than strapping them to a table, stuffing their mouths with cotton, and injecting them with insulin or electroshock therapy.

time out rooms are great compared to that.

I laughed when I read this. I laughed HARD. Docking allowance? I didn't get an allowance because my family was poor. Take away videogames? We only had a few retro games. Hocus Pocus, Halloween Harry, Duke Nukem II, and Kings Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow. Time out? They sure as hell tried, but it didn't do anything.

Even now my little brother (Who is an extreme danger to everyone. Has even threatened my sister with a knife) is running free because my mother won't hit the little bastard. Take away the videogames? He lashes out even more. Put him in his room for a time out? You better be prepared to sit there for an hour holding the door closed with all your strenght because he will fucking beat the door down. The only person who has EVER gotten him to stop was me, and thats because I would smack him. If he tried to hit me, I would grab his arm and smack his hand.

Another thing, Police only stop people who are BREAKING THE FUCKING LAW. Its not their job to punish kids, its the parents job. Its the job of the parents to make the kids learn whats right and whats wrong BEFORE they have to call in the police.

I'm not saying beat the shit out of your kids (of course, there are some exceptions), I'm saying spank them, or smack them in the arm or hand. It fucking works. Theres shit that I STILL don't do just because I was smacked for doing it.

BTW: The tobasco sauce wasn't cruel punishment, it was creative punishment. It caused no lasting damage, it didn't even stop me from swearing. Hell, the only thing it did was make me love spicy food.

Time out always seemed kind of a bullshit punishment to me. I prefer spanking. The thing is that people now like to imagine that when a child gets spanked, it's by a drunken father who's slapping the kid like he just announced that he wants to grow up to be a hairdresser, instead of someone smackin' the kids butt just enough to make it hurt.

 

[TK421]

They should be spanked, FFS. Most of us probably were, we turned out fine.

Every person I've seen who said that has advocated spanking and so, no, they haven't turned out fine.

yeah, sure, maybe thats why half of us turned out cynics and asshats on a gmaing forum.... nah i'm jut joking with you. i agree.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Time out is one thing. A closet sized potentially dark-room with severe potential for isolation is another.

Time out is in a corner or a normal sized room. A closet is a closet. You don't punish kids by putting them in a closet.

 

[FalloutJack]

Kids don't really learn anything from a time-out. It just makes them mad.

Oh? Well let me ask you something. Where were these people? What were their occupations? Did they have a family? Were they good, well-adjusted people?

You can't say "they haven't turned out fine" without showing evidence that they weren't fine. Maybe if they were living on the street doing drugs I would agree with you. Unless you show me that they weren't well-adjusted, I will take your post as the bullshit that it most likely is.

Amen!

 

[Kajt]

No, to me Time Out seems like the wrong way to tackle behaviour problems.

 

[SimicShy]

How is teaching a child right from wrong by time out wrong? At least they are not punching them in the face.

 

[Pifflestick]

This is not okay , but its okay to smack a child over the head.

it makes no lasting damnage its just negitive reinforcement for acting like a twat. IT tells the child what he did was wrong and he shouldent have done that.but talking about a mild child if they are REALY bad than some good ol fashion paddling.

and im not talking about beating the shit out of your kid im talking about a small slap over the head.

Amen!

Lol, someone's rather insecure to react that badly to a joke.

But hey, here's the facts: Every single relevant study into child behaviour has shown that time-outs and other non-violent methods of discipline can be equally, in not more, effective as smacking your child. The only problem is if you are inconsistent with them, but that's true of smacking your child as well.

The key reason why smacking your child can appear more effective is because it is easier to do consistently.

So basically, the only reason you'd ever need to smack your child is if your to lazy of a parent to keep other discipline regimes up consistently.
