I was curious. What are your views on punishment. Nothing in particular, just blanket and/or inflammatory comments please.


Say for example you have an attractive female boss. When someone makes an error or shows ineptitude she is known to give spankings. Could you get me a job there?
While that's not really related to the topic I thought it would still take up space.

Which it did.

I had intended to put something in here about the French. Instead I will tell the story of a man who could never finish a story. The guy always

What did we do to deserve such treatment, Josh?

Comme le soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes.

Like the sun says hello to the mountains? What does that mean?

OK, I got one. I rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobatomy.

Here are my favorite cheese-related advertising slogans:

America spells cheese, K-R-A-F-T
When the cheese starts flowing, Kraft gets your noodle going.
"Unleash the Cheese." Velveeta Shells and Cheese
Cheetos - The cheese that goes crunch
"Ahh, the power of Cheese" - American Dairy Association
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese - "The cheesiest!"

I think if someone is punished for a crime they didn't commit, they should be allowed to do the crime. As far as incomplete thoughts go

Sorry all that thinking about an attractive boss administering discipline in the office and mountains and flowing cheese got me distracted

Were were we? Oh yes... the sound of French.

:)

Impugning over lurid topics?

Is there a difference in the sound of French from let's say...Thousand Island or Ranch?


Who needs a time-out?

I ADORE getting slapped by some old hootie!!!!

Give me some pain man and I'll respond.

Get me that job Josh! I ain't had one for years!!!

Punishment is a motivating factor given in a less tasteful plate. But it's good. It causes people to strive more for the better. If the punishment is physical, I guess it'd only work for kiddies. For elder people, nah, it won't. It's already uhm... 'violence'. But given the scenario.. y'know, being slapped by some hottie, I guess that's hardly a punishment. That's a, let's say, uhm... turn on? lol

It's the first line of a very old French song. "When the sun says good day to the mountains, and the night says hello to the dawn, I'm alone with my dreams.....etc, etc,





You a WILD Man!!!

And the winner is Daffydoug. You are correct about the song.

Hot sauce adds a kick to salsa, barbeque, falafel and hundreds of other foods. But some parents use it in a different recipe, one they think will yield better-behaved children: They put a drop of the fiery liquid on a child's tongue as punishment for lying, biting, hitting or other offenses.

The use of hot sauce has been advocated in a popular book, in a magazine for Christian women and on Internet sites.

Virginia's child protective services agency lists hot saucing among disciplinary tactics it calls "bizarre behaviors." The list includes such methods as forcing a child to kneel on sharp gravel, and locking him in a closet. Pediatricians, psychologists and experts on child care and family life contacted for this story strongly recommend against the practice.

Lisa Whelchel, actress and author of "Creative Correction: Extraordinary Ideas for Everyday Discipline" (Focus On the Family/Tyndale House), defends the practice. "A correction has to hurt a little," she said. "An effective deterrent has to touch the child in some way. I don't think Tabasco is such a bad thing." Her book suggests a "tiny" bit of hot sauce be used, and offers alternatives such as lemon juice and vinegar. Discipline involves "drawing a line to protect the child," Whelchel said, "and if they cross that line, there will be pain." Whelchel said she believes that disciplinary methods should be left up to parents -- who know their child best, are devoted to the child's well-being and can administer punishment with love.

Many people use the brand name "Tabasco" as a shorthand. Tabasco is the proprietary name of a single brand of sauce, made by the McIlhenny Co. of Avery Island, La. The owners of the company condemn the use of their products for child discipline. In an interview, company president Paul McIlhenny called the practice "strange and scary" and "abusive." Kendrick says parents who use the technique are "at the very least . . . ill-informed." He pointed out that many parents are not aware that hot sauce can burn a child's esophagus and cause the tongue to swell -- a potential choking hazard.

The hot pepper technique's current popularity is due in part to Whelchel, a former Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeer and actress who played the character Blair on the television series "The Facts of Life" in the 1980s. In "Creative Correction," now in its fifth printing, the mother of three provides parents with a variety of tips. For example, she suggests hiding something a child has failed to put away, to teach the lesson that things left out may disappear. She suggests telling a child who refuses to hold your hand while crossing a street, "I can either hold your hand or hold your hair." In addition, Whelchel offers the following: "For lying or other offenses of the tongue, I 'spank' my kids' tongues. I put a tiny drop of hot sauce on the end of my finger and dab it onto my child's tongue. It stings for a while, but it abates. (It's the memory that lingers!)" Whelchel's advice was repeated in an Internet chat in which she participated and then circulated on numerous parenting Web sites and discussion groups. Whelchel -- who is a motivational speaker on home schooling and other parenting topics -- said in an interview that she wrote the book not as a parenting expert, but "from one mom to another."

Just take a look at the Customer Reviews over at Amazon to get a sense of what Lisa Whelchel's book, "Creative Correction" (pub. Oct 2000), advises:



And finally, this Word From The Author, Lisa Welchel:

Wow.....

"Wow......." is stupid.

Time outs work in a box of red ants.

Peace out!

A sales woman who called on me lived next door to that Lisa Welchel for several years and she said in all that time (Welchel has since moved) they never once saw her or her kids. They stayed behind the gates. That is pretty odd if you ask me.

"Peace" is stupid.
