I second this sentiment, greeting faced children and old people. All you need is a space shuttle and a one way ticket into the sun, sorted.

Um. No.

If your seen smacking them in public, you soon get a visit from Social Services. More often than not, the child is threatened with "just wait til you get home", and it never happens.
Just thank your lucky stars you were brought up better than that and let it go. Not gonna do any good to get PO'ed about it. It'll all work out. That kid will have a hard lkesson to learn as he/she gets older and realizes the world doesn't revolve around them.

It's simple, you beat the wrong guy! Since you didn't disipline your kids, the police are now going to!
I ask everyone here who took a beating as a kid, do you think you where abused?
I have scars, and I'll still tell you no I wasn't!

I remember i wanted the Manta Force Ship, my parents told me that if i stuck in at school and brought them a good report card at the end of term then they would see what they could do. Lo and behold i knuckled down and done just that, and my parents surprised me with the Manta Force ship, they didn't promise me it but giving me that little ray of hope taught me that hard work and discipline get you rewards.
Now i am a 23 year old man, my brother is 34 with 2 boys of his own and he does exactly the same thing with them

I take my sons throught the toy section every time we go into a store, and I let them "see" any toys that they want to, but then it goes back onto the right spot again, as I worked at TRU, Kmart and Target at different times in my life, and I know what it is like to have to clean up.
No crying, no screaming, no running around like idiots.
No begging for toys and crying because I say no.
They stay in the cart and behave 99% of the time.
Oh, and my wife is one of those hot moms, so eyes, hands, minds and imaginations to yourselves!!!
No offense, but seriously, what's the point? If all they do is get to see the toys, and nothing comes of it, isn't that basically taunting them? Or do you actually buy them something. This post caught me off guard...

1) i am 14. i get £15 pocket money month, which goes straight into a bank account which is to be used for driving lessons, or on a car or a house when the time comes. i also have a morning paper job, which goes for 6 days a week, and nets me £10 a week, no variables. i have a large local free paper round, which is just once a week, but i have to sort the leaflets into the papers, and there are 165 houses. it can range between £5.76 ( no leaflets) to at least £10.32 (6 big leaflets). so that is between £16-£20 a week. next week, i will be starting another local-free-paper route. 125 papers, probaly about £4.59 to £5 with npo leaflets, and £8? with 6 leaflets. so that is between £20.50 to£28 a week, so i cannot be called spoiled. sometimes ( read: holidays) when it is a few days until i am paid, i may have a quietword with my mum/dad to see if i can borrow the money and reimburse them on payday, but only if it can be covered by that weeks pay. no tantrums, just a quiet word and some wording of which swindle himself would be proud of. i even remind my creditors regularly, so to make ure that i don't end up feeling guilty.
2) kids in store tantrumming- i will update this tommorrow. i need sleep. same with parenting and my views on breeding.
When I was 9 I started during summers weekends and afterschool helping my dad on his delivery routes. When I was 11 I had a warehouse job. I never had a paper route though.
All this statred because I wanted a nicer pair of winter boots than my dad was willing to get me. and since day 1 of working, I had to kick money to the house.
Why do I mention this, well, I just wanna say, I respect your work ethic. In this case I don't see you as spoiled, but as respected, and look forward to your update tomorrow.

"If you don't stop acting up we're going home!"
"So what? We'll go home and I'll play with my toys."
"If you don't stop acting up I'll take away your toys."
"So what, then I'll read."
"If you don't stop acting up I'll take away all your books."
"So what, then I'll just pretend and imagine."
"If you don't stop acting up I'm gonna pull your pants down and spank your butt in the middle of this store in front of everyone, and everyone will laugh at you and know that you're acting like a little brat."
"Yes Mom, may I help you carry your packages?"
Big difference.
What I'm wondering is, if a kid is acting like a little sh*t like the one mentioned who threw a toy and hit a board member, can you call the police? Can you grab the kid and hold him till cops get there?
Because if I smack some little kid in a toy store because he intentionally hit me, I'm going to jail right? So why should the little sh*t and his mother not be held up to the same expectations? Perhaps if mom has to deal with police/fines/court appearance/whatever, she won't be so quick to let her child misbehave and act like a sociopath around the public who are minding thier own business.
I don't know what I'd have done in your position, I'd be really tempted to smack the kid in the back of the head, or grab him by the back of the neck and take him to the nearest security guard or something. If the mother isn't going to disipline her child, then I guess 'the world' will have to. And honestly, most people would be alot nicer about it then others. What's the kid going to do when he's older and acts like a sh*t to the WRONG person, who seriously beats them up, puts them in a hospital, or just kills them?

I have read through all your posts and I can say with total conviction that you shouldnt be influencing anyone on how to raise children.
From your writing, you seem like an angry, arrogant, hateful man. Certainly children need discipline while they are being raised and I am all for some kind of population legislation so we as a species can take the stranglehold off our planet.
But your posts stink of abuse, there is a big difference between discipline and what you encourage. Clearly all the beatings you took thoughout your lifetime haven't shaped you the way you claim, you openly brag about being a criminal! You also speak about not having a criminal record like its a badge of honour, success isn't judged by how long you have evaded the police.
All the horrible things you have endured should give you a rare viewpoint on why these things shouldn't happen, but instead you advocate a childhood of beatings with belts, verbal abuse, scar tissue and fear. On top of that, I cant stress this enough, you advocate this from your soapbox as an admitted criminal!
I think someone needs to look in the mirror before pushing your self proclaimed 'molevelant justice.'
