Mother Allegedly Shocks Child With Stun Gun for Making Oatmeal Wrong

East and Lake-

Actually, the opposite is more likely to occur. A child raised in an abusive home is more likely to not to be disciplined- at all.

I could give you nightmares at the experiences of my own childhood and my children are rarely, if ever, disciplined via corporate punishment. However, when they have been, it was for serious offenses. Like my 6-year old son who got up one morning and just left the house, went to a neighbor’s house to play with a boy his age. Oh, did I mention that this was in Kuwait and we had only just moved there a few days prior? We got up one morning and couldn’t find him anywhere on our property and there was a 5 foot fence that went all the way around. He was next door- somehow scaled the fence. Yep, he got spanked and it never happened again.

Point is, my children are probably under-disciplined and I was flat-out abused by my dad.
Mother Allegedly Shocks Child With Stun Gun for Making Oatmeal Wrong

Are you serious? Is it the punishment was too steep for the crime, or the use of a spoon? I disagree; this kid did not have to be punished for making oatmeal wrong. No discussion. But, I have smacked my son with a wooden spoon before, no harm in that unless you are one of those people who think 3 and 4 year olds learn perfectly through time-outs and positive reinforcement only.
‘Traitor’: Michele Bachmann’s Scathing Rebuke of NSA Leaker Edward Snowden

@Cathy-

Thanks for the info. Here is the message I left for her. Just thought I’d share (I am that pi$$ed)

Very disappointed in your comments at the NSA hearing. To think I was going to vote for you.

You stated, “It seems to me, that’s where our focus should be on how there could be a betrayal of trust and how a traitor could do something like this to the American people.”

But you were not referring to Obama, this administration, nor the NSA! Which would actually fit THEM better. How is Snowden guilty of anything? The government is the one that was breaking the law (still breaking the law). So, how is he guilty for shedding light on it? What? Because he was a government contractor and most likely had signed confidentiality contracts? Under that logic, the prostitute could be prosecuted for ratting out her pimp (not because soliciting for sex is illegal- mind you, but simply because of a confidentiality agreement between the parties.) But, when the business for which the contract is needed is actually illegal, the contract itself is null and void- is it not? This is the same thing. Unless you think it was perfectly constitutional that the government had a right to listen in on the saucy conversations that occurred between my husband and I when he served in Iraq for a year. Glad your leaving, don’t let the door hit you on the arse on your way out!

How Angry Would You Be if You and Your Family Got This Receipt from a Restaurant?

@KIBA-

You will most commonly find the usage of (sic) in directly quoted material when the author finds an error either in spelling, grammar, or usage of a word or phrase within the original. Directly quoted material must be placed within quotation marks and be word for word, that of the original. So, if the original author has misspelled a word or used poor grammar (even if it is done on purpose for effect) the one quoting the material must use (sic) to indicate that “yes”, the word or phrase is improper, but it was directly quoted- so, it is not my error, but the original author’s error.

In reply to huey6367.

I can’t remember where we were or which carrier we were flying with (somewhere in the Middle East though) anyway, we were disembarking one plane to go and catch our connecting flight. Just before the plane got to the gate, we were given complimentary toiletry satchels (they were pretty nice too). Anyway, we literally went from getting off one plane to getting on another. I was absolutely dumbfounded that we could not keep the toiletry bags that the airline had just given us before we disembarked the last plane. Right at the gate for our connecting flight was several large trash cans and we were instructed to throw the toiletry bags in them. No one even got to use anything out of them. It was one of the dumbest things I’d ever seen.
Mystery Woman Pays Bill for Whole Restaurant and Leaves Hefty Tip for Servers

I swear that woman looks just like my mother-n-law (several years older, but still).

Anyway, what a blessing. I think that would have to be one of the most gratifying experiences. I know it makes me feel good when I can help someone less fortunate out, imagine that times 150 on any given day.

@Used

You and everyone else need to think bigger!! Right now, just by themselves, doctor’s and psychologists have amazing powers. How would you like to check your mail box tomorrow to find that the DMV has revoked your driver’s license because your medical records indicate a diagnosis of syncope. We have a patient in our office dealing with this right now. Another provider informed the DMV that the pt should not be driving although our physician okay’d him to drive. Now it will most likely take weeks even months for this guy to get his driver’s license reinstated. But just think how bad it will be when the IRS is thrown into the mix. I believe that innocent people will be wrongfully jailed and even institutionalized. The recent IRS/Tea Party scandal will be nothing in comparison. Just wait, the NSA will collect the data, find out your political leanings, and the next thing you know you lose your license, or perhaps are carted away to padded room somewhere.

I work in health care- medical records to be exact. I see EVERYTHING. I would rather not read people’s files, but I have to in order to send specific records requested by other providers, insurance companies, attorneys, and OH YES government entities. I pride myself on being professional and maintaining a staunch level of confidentiality, but I realize there are probably many in this field that don’t and it’s frightening to think about especially when the IRS takes over. I really do not know if I will be able to send a patients records to them or not- not sure if I am willing to because it seems like betrayal. It’s something I have been praying about a lot lately.
End Times ‘Left Behind’ Movie Reboot Could Reach Millions With Biblical Theology — And TheBlaze Has Exclusive Details

I have read and own the book series, I have seen and own the first left behind trilogy- so yes, I will go and see the remake. I, myself, am either a mid-tribber or preterist. I use to be definitively a mid-tribber, but I have done so much research that I also believe that “the Great Tribulation” could have already occurred in 70 AD. I guess the main point is that I am a Christian. I must shamefully admit though, being a Christian back when I was a mid-tribber was a lot easier. With that ideology there is hope of seeing your savior descend in great glory. If the tribulation has already occurred, you don’t have Jesus’ return- you just return to him when you die. And while Christians can take much comfort in that, it still would be magnificent to be a part of a period of time spoken by every generation since the beginning.
