Heck, I've watched enough nature shows where theres the lion or something growling at a cub a few times as the cub keeps knawing on the parents tail, and then "whack" the parent knocks the cub back and growls again. The cubs rarely go back to attacking the tail. Monkeys to, even birds will buffet thier young into line...
Yes, hitting your child hard enough or with the intent to cause pain/harm is wrong. Smacking your child to enforce a message is not. Heck, I smack my own hand a few times in warning when my daughter is getting into things she shouldn't, and then I will smack hers.
Yes, some children do learn by just verbal warnings, but not all. And I believe that first and foremost a parent has the right to ensure that thier children know the differents between right/wrong and socially acceptable behavior. Whether the child is a good verbal learner or whether a more physical approach is needed.
I just wish more people cared/loved thier children enough to teach them proper behavior...Maybe then we wouldnt have all the delinquints we have today.
whoops, did not mean to turn that into a speech...

I sympathize with the general feeling.
The thing is though, not all parents do that because they're wimps - at least in the US, the police (and DSS) can be called if you so much as leave your kid in the car just to pop into the gas station to pay for gas, let alone are seen slapping them anywhere (wrist, butt, etc doesn't matter).
So at least in some cases I'd be willing to bet the crazy kids tearing your shelves apart at the grocery store may well be receiving a hiding back home - which may or may not discourage said little darlins from doing it again... some kids get it, but others treated the exact same way will nonetheless take full advantage any time they are out in public, because to them what happens back home might as well be a world away...
Augh. Project due Thursday, paper I only learned about Monday due Thursday, test tomorrow, midterms all next week, and learner's permit test next week. Holy crap, what a month.
So apparently a personal peeve, something that is perfectly reasonable, even if the particular thing is slightly odd to most, is now automatically an excuse to leave something. Great! It's so good to know my friends are so glad to be rid of me.
I know lady it's sometimes hard to make a baby stop crying I understand that I really do but you could ATLEAST TRY TO MAKE IT STOP YOU ARE ON A BLOODY BUS! Did you see that other lady on the bus? Want to know why I'm not mad at her kid for crying? Cos she TRYED to stop it crying! If you try I can care if you don't I wont.
>.> I'm not in the best of moods I don't need your kid making me hulk out.
Got little sleep last night due to my period starting (with VERY heavy cramps) and getting the cold that's been going around at work at the same time, so I'm home sick today. I feel terrible, but at least I still had a paid sick day left so I'll still get paid.

Curse these period cramps seriously! >.< It's not made any better by the fact that there's nothing to eat in this house so I'll have to go to a grocery store without breakfast.
Dad deciding to pop in last night to say that even though he's getting my motherboard from Helsinki today, he won't plug it in until Saturday. I would gladly do it myself if I wasn't prone to causing things to blow up with my presence... Not to mention if I actually had any experience with putting a whole computer together.
Damn cat he's so old (20 plus) that when ever I see him sleeping out in the sun I think he's dead so I have to go check up on him XD More so when he's sleeping on the driveway and I think he's been run over! Silly bugger he knows how it make s me feel XD
Hate my guild right now. All they care about is raiding and nothing else. Can't we have fun once in a while in this guild? Can't you guys not be total assholes when one of us wants to do something else other than raiding? Do you guys even listen or help guildmates? Nope. At least half of the guild is leaving for Star Wars so I can find a new one, but I really don't wanna go guild searching again... I'm so goddamn shy...
Stop crying over this Wassa it's just a game.

I want to try live streaming while I draw but I keep getting low bandwidth errors every minute or two, so I have to stop everything I'm doing and wait for it to reconnect.
I have 0 bandwidth in WOW as well. We don't download stuff (other then wow patches) or run a lot of things so why do we never have any bandwidth? We're not on wireless so I don't think anyone's leaching it somehow...

Oh and to the guy whose still got 3 ornate bracers on the AH for 50g each - A) it's been a week, no one is going to buy them and B) as you virtually never even see bracers, no one's likely to even want them for transmogs. Now shoo already.
I must be a hypocondriac or something... I haven't been able to eat bananas for about two weeks or so, and I love bananas, but the thought if them makes me nauseaus. Same with cinnamon. Nomnom, but no.

That's funny, because back when my vertigo was very bad and I had a lot of nausea, a breakfast I had consisting of a banana and cinnamon-flavored cereal was hands down the best meal I ever had to taste twice.
Haha, that's funny
I am fairly certain nothing is up with my body, but I think there's been some stomach troubles going around for a while now, so I might just have that, even though I have never suddenly gotten nauseaus just by thinking of foods I love..
Well I know this is probably going to cause drama but...I really need to let some steam off
it may also contain explict language because its probably one of the worst things with me right now
I know im a fucking drama queen with no life.
Iv';e been told that and it basically turned me into an emo who doesn't do physical harm- but much rather Mental harm
I cant stop insulting myself mentally now, when I dont it feels so...unatural.
and I know im insane know, it seems the only feelings I can churn out is loneliness, depression, lust and greed.
I cant even even laugh as much as I used to now
and im trying to get help, it isn't working
but thats just me, maybe its just Human to be greedy? To want attentiion, to want to have something by my side?
Iv'e lost friends for my actions and im forced to put on a zipper. Because if I dont im going to feel more lonely. To feel something warm inside is almost too rare now
It never stops.
Some say its a mix of my autism, hornomes and school work
but I really do wonder now.
but thats not the point, the point is I cant even hang out with firends without getting more depressed
Online and real life.
I dont know ever since I was banned from the WoW rp that one time it seems
that im no longer RUby.
I should be something new now. "Rubybeam" is just a disguise, I cant laugh or be as immature as I once was when I was truly "Rubybeam"
and all my friends do is make Fanart for each other, their all good drawers with talent
Not like me.
Oh no, I try my hardest and not a single comment because I cant help but feel im useless
even what I know Im good at- using creativity in my daily life, it was my entertainment back in Hell days and was improved
but then again I find it utterly useless
I see fanart for characters of others friends all the time, I look at mine and even though some exsits
I dont see anything
my ideas are useless. My art is useless. Im useless
I can clearly see that message and yet it haunts my everyday
Im going off topic.
What I mentioned before, being banned from that one rp, my friends continue to laugh at the topic of the rp
while I watch knowing I do a single little shit to add to it because it even pains me to hear about to hear aobut
it was such a big, horrible thing for me, yet I want to be able to communicate with my friends, so I sit there trying to but end up getting depressed because its all they seem to like, to draw, to write about
even the one that doesn't like it
I feel like shes been ignoring me
is it because I asked for a collab or an rp?
That I will never know.
And all I see is it everywhere, its like their still doing it without me
Ah I forgot.
Im always going to be at the bottom
always the dusty forgotten in real life and online
its always my greatest fear
but its only truth.
And because if it I wont stop wanting attention, I wont stop to to have fan art, to be known,
people say I should be proud of who I am
why?
And now after this I probably started drama all over again
and lost more than I want
then it will only get deep and darker
unfortantly I cant erase my exsitance.
Iv'e even had advice, oh just look at how useless I am! I cant even use advice correctly
EDIT: Im much more calm now after writing that...ah I needed that so badly

This seems like it should be a good thing... but my room mate who's in charge of the bill was supposed to CANCEL it so we could get NEW service that wouldn't lead to us having another fucking $200 bill (metered net ftl). So I don't know if the company is just giving us a few freebie days until they send someone out... Or.. if she didn't cancel it.. or if she slacked off and waited til the last minute cause she was "busy"... or what... but I'm gonna be fucking PISSED if it ends up costing me more money, because I can't afford it. I have $40 in my bank, and only $1400 left on my credit card until I get my next student loan installment in early Jan... (Yes.. I have a job.. sorta.. but they are a separate company which runs samples in stores.. and the stores don't like us working over the holidays, cause we'll get in the way of busy holiday shopping customers). So that $40 has to last for my groceries ... and then I'm going to have to do a cash advance for rent, and my cell bill... And then I'd LIKE to be able to pay off my credit card when I get my loan :/ It's really not cool... Seriously.. if she ends up costing me MORE money... I'm gonna be pissed.. I'll order my own fucking net if I have to... more every month, but at least I'll KNOW it'll get paid off in time.. and that the bandwidth won't be capped... and that the company is RESPECTABLE...
She sent us an e-mail on thursday saying "our service will be stopping on the 10th, I'm gonna call the new company today, but not sure when they'll get here to set it up. I'll let you guys know" ... and.. NOTHING...
It's pissing me off.. cause I've worked around expecting it to be down. I have exams... with my social anxiety... the internet fills about 95% of my social requirements... I don't LIKE unexpected shit around stressful times.. this is NOT good. I'll find a way to survive if the internet is gone for a week.. but I "need" to know WHEN it's going... Thinking "oh, they said it's going but now it's not, yay! I'll be able to do _____ thing that I need to do on this day!" and then all of a sudden having it go down 5 days after it was supposed to and the day before the thing I had to do is near enough to send me into fucking panic attacks.
To top it off :/ I'm trying to study for my last 2 exams... And my room mate invited her boyfriend over for the weekend without telling us.. so now there's foot steps and talking upstairs and it distracts me...
I'm more clear-headed and rational than I usually am under these circumstances, which is good, but I'm soooooooooo tired of having to be here in the first place!
At least this time, I'm making a conscious choice not to bother.
