Haha! Funny picture. Although I don't have an alcohol problem.

There's no such a thing as an alcohol problem. Just an alcohol solution!

If no ones ever coined that before, someone should coin it for me. I see it going far!

Fuck JPAR wrules, fuck.

Well, they coined ADD and invented 'Ritalin', while a better solution for such misbehavior is called shut-the-hell-up-or-I'll-pop-you-in-the-mouth!

Why did you talk to yourself?

Only 1 in 10 ADD diagnoses is accurate. Rich parents, spured on by the capitalist both parents work system blame it on a disease and not your lack of parenting shit have caused that. Fucking capitalism.

I talked to myself because I deserve it. You desrve it. Cleo.

It's got nothing to do with capitalism. In the West, parents discipline their kids a lot less, compared to their Far East counterparts. I don't understand how can put up with all that graffiti and juvenile deliquency.

I believe graffiti should be punished by the culprits having to undo their work. I hate graffiti, because it's an unneccesary crime. Theft is complciated. Unnecceasry destruction is not. There's no need to do that shit, but I don't think putting them on record or jail will solve shit. It'l just make sure they're poor for the rest of their lives. Making it a pain in the ass however, will make it a lot less socially desirable.

Spanking leads to unsocialble behaviour.

I was rarely disciplined by my parents. I've never been to court or started any real shit. The fact that my parents wre nice to me was a good enough reason to avoid starting shit when i was young. Punishment causes many adverse affects (Fact), reinforcement of positive behaviour is the best possible option, however in poor families especially (where both parents have to work for the way too low minimum wage) it is far more difficult than giving your kids a beating.

I used to live in West Auckland, my best friends were probably the most out of control kids i've ever been friends with. They were beaten with a kettle chord many times, it didn't mean shit. All it meant was that they grew tougher. If I grew up there I bet i'd have a criminal record by now. Instead we moved to the north shore.

Depends on how beatins are administered. The culprits need to feel that they have done something wrong and feels that they need a beating (or other punishment). Just beatings alone won't solve shit.

Instead of those lousy family conferences, they should be sent to community service or borstal (that system had worked effectively, in giving them an attitude change in a regimented environment and by giving them necessary skills, prevented reoffending). It's a shame that youth offenders don't get corrected and they end up going further down.

It's not just the poor. Such work related lack of parenting can affect all kids, especially if their parents only know about what their children have been up to after a phone call or visit from the policeman.

Hey! I turned out O.K.

Yeah you turned out fine....

Yes even rich parents in todays society can neglect their kids. The desire for money seems all rampant. I don't want to force it on people, but I truely believe a one parent system (mum or dad) staying at home is the best. At least until intermediate school. However I believe in not forcing ones morals on another uncertaingly. It seems to me people are better off this way, but it seemed to white southern fucks that black people were inferior. Fuck those fucks.

Punishment is effective, if the person/animal knows exactly what they're being punished for. However punishment has side effects, which are generally negative. This is why our criminal justice system works so badly, and why i'm totally against simply increasing punishments. Reinforcing positive behavioiour has just as great results without as many negative side effects. However, I stand by the saying, 1 ounce of prevention is as good as ten ounces of rehabilitation? Or something like that. No matter how harsh the punishment, it won't undo the crime.

Please don't patronise me! I'm a normal human being.

One parent system isn't going to work because every adult has careers now. Nonetheless, kindergarten and schools also have to play a part in teaching good behavior. A good alternative would be to have a grandparent do some of that parenting while the parents are at work, it's a beneficial situation.

My mother has a huge role in my nephews raising. I hope she has as large a role in my childs raising whenever I have one. However I wouldn't expect everyone to have this advantage. But yes I think kindy's and primary schools should be fully funded to help in this.

Dr Steve, on my PC your posts take up an entire screen. What happened to your avatar?

These huge pictures of Heino are making me go hard.

I love that Spam thing you did, owned Steveo!

Who the hell is Heino? (He looks a bit dodgy.)

google is your friend Adolf.

samf: Take two of these pills and and Heino should shrink back to its normal size in a few days. The Doctor has spoken.

Google is a good friend, but I'm not dumb enough to be tricked into searching up dodgy shit.

I dunno man, he looks like he's from Children of the Corn.

Remember, Heino is on his retirement tour. Watch your tongue Hitler.

I love you too Kat
