Dark,
Isn't it odd how often your posts are filled with anger and foul words ? And how the "West" is always to blame. And yet you choose to live in London ?

It all reminds me of another joke:

Q) How many Palestinians does it take to change a light blub ?

A) None. It's better to sit in the dark and blame Israel.

Sorry Spirit, I don't agree with you at all, Darkrezin is an honest and also objective thinker, with a good feeling for international and all time being human aspects.
Wish my english was better to clarify myself, I leave it with these words

Cheers

Thanks for adding some perspective

you can watch stunningly similiar mother/child relationships in supermarkets, occasionally...

I'm not as optimistic as Stardust that it's all fake

anyway - a heartily slab on the cheek would clear the situation, spare some nerves and later on the cash for the psychiatrist (or even worse things to come...) - strangely this remedy seems completely outfashioned today

great Berlitz ad !

[pseudo rant]
I agree that it's outrageous.
Parents no longer have the ability to use a bit of a slap on the bottom as a disciplinary measure. In this country you can be charged with (suspected of) child abuse for that.

While I don't believe in using implements or pointy objects to discipline children, the adage "Spare the rod - spoil the child" - has some merit - just need to modify it slightly

Maybe something like - "spare a smack on the bum and say good-bye to your savings and hello behaviour modifying drugs and psychoanalyst fees.

I hate to use: "When I was a child..." - BUT... when I was a child

I'd definitely have too much respect for myself and, more to the point, apprehension knowing there would be some kind of punishment *WHACK* just around the corner.

Some might consider it a leap of logic or overly simplistic (read ignorant) to say that ADD/ADHD is related to the loss of parent's rights to properly discipline their children. However, the literal epidemic of ADD or ADHD in this country alone is quite frightening. Well - I mean - the willingness of medical practitioners to diagnose possibly poorly disciplined children with ADHD and the same eagerness of parents to stick their babies on "Kiddie Speed" is more frightening.

Newer research has shown that drugs like Ritalin and Dexamphetamine don't really work - well not as well as they work for young parents

I say "smack 'em and don't give them speed as a reward for lunatic behavioiur"

I enjoyed the gun control topic more than the child rearing topic.

News from Australia. While the number of guns dropped for a while after the gun buyback, it has now rebounded to well in excess of what it was before.

Maybe it's just human nature. We like the power to blow something away.

yes.
and while we're still on THIS hijack. i'd like to say that the problems are not from the "west", as there's really no such thing. the ones making trouble are not "east", "west" or otherwise. they are global. the leaders on all sides are on the same side, it's the people, the imperial subjects that suffer, do the fighting, argue the ideology given to them and die.

... and it's known for ages, as written in Goethe's Faust or more recently Sympathy for the Devil
