Re: BOS political compass scatterplot +1

I think I'd be a bit like this.

Wasn't from my boyfriend but " You know, you have a really perfect nose" was probably the most unusual compliment I've received.

I do not think assaulting a child is acceptable, no. I hold that sparingly smacking a toddler for his well being is discipline and not violence.Stop using emotive language and ridiculous comparisons, you are obviously extremely foolish without the slightest grasp of reality.

Haha I like your signature Omie.

I agree.

Oh, you wally! I already explained this also! A young toddler does not have the cognitive ability to understand HYPOTHETICAL OR POTENTIAL situations.Explaining that a car might hit and kill them is ludicrous - how well do you think toddlers understand physics and mortality?Yes, you can restrain...

I've already explained this; and you misunderstood scarybunny.Shouting at young toddlers is likely to harm the relationship between parent and a gentle child - a toddler will not neccessarily realise that the shouting has anything to do with the inappropriate action, instead believing the anger...

Thankyou, John Mc Cain, good to see an intelligent person is on the block.Planck...words almost fail me. Through anecdote? Try neuroscience, biology, my own study of psychology, and personal observation, experimentation and reflection over four years.What have you? I can but assume you are...

I could say that your philosophical arguments are in essence from thin...air.I have years (Four years experience, I was 15 - 19) of practical experience in minding young children (two months to 12 years).I have had many discussions with a favourite Uncle and Aunt, (a neurosurgeon and a...

You repeat the smack if neccessary so that they realise the smack is associated with the dangerous behaviour. Any other punishment that I can think of is too vague in its disconnection from the misdemenour and involves too long a time delay for them to associate it with the behaviour.To stare at...

It is not 'attacking' a weaker person, it is being the substitute consequence for a little person who has not developed the cognitive skills to understand that his actions will have consequences for him, possibly consequences which could hurt him.It is not a way of communicating with a toddler...

Okay.Young toddlers will understand the cause/effect of smacking because the smack is immediate, taking place immediately after a certain behaviour.The smack is just a quick reminder than the decision that preceded it was one that would have a bad result. A time out for a two year old is cruel -...

If a teacher is minding a TWO YEAR OLD and has a close enough relationship to the child then I'm sure parents would delegate some limited authority to the teacher.Corporal punishment is a ridiculous notion for children of school age. You STILL labour under the misapprehension that what works for...

I don't drink to get drunk ever, and rarely at all, but that choice is my prerogative, and I don't feel good about forcing my sensibilities on other people. It won't make much (if any) of a difference in the number of young people drinking but it will have the effect of creating many more...

Or like Ay0_x wants the internet to think she has a great bum. (hehehe)

Honey, a smack on the bottom of a two year old is not violence. It's not. ECOD why can some people not GET IT. Smacking is to be used sparingly for children too young to understand any sort of natural or simulated natural consequence! DO YOU GET IT NOW?

I don't like it when you tilt your head to let a man kiss your cheek and he 'accidentally' get half your mouth. First time you greet one another was probably an accident, by the fifth 'accident' I'm pretty cranky.
