I've heard that China are making microchips you can implant in children to help parents bring some much needed control into the chaos that is parental life. Just something you should keep an eye out for. Maybe see if you can order some off ebay.
YES! Lo-jack your kids. It works. And why not? It works on pets, why shouldn't it work on other organisms that are not mentally developed enough to see the big picture about their personal well being?
I'm not saying you, Knox, but when ppl you have no kids or aren't married give advice on said subjects, that's when I wish we could go to a Purge
I somehow feel this is directed at me.
My parents used a different method to achieve the same results: It was called an ass-whupping if I got out of line.
Ditto. My mother has actually referred to me half-sarcastically as "the good son". (I'm the only son.)
Violence in video games doesn't cause children to be violent, it gives them an out let to be violent.
Because I'd rather my daughter blow up a planet in Halo than whack some kid's teeth out while "Lightsaber dueling" with bats. Except for that one boy.... She can cave in his skull.
I think he was simply referring to taking away the phone/tablet/computer type tech.
But you are correct. Violence is already in our nature, and it is important to have non-harmful ways of coping with it.
I never had chicken pox. My doctor told my mother I had a natural immunity after I was exposed multiple times and failed to contract it. Seriously though, washing your hands the day IS a good habit to get into....
As I said, if my hands are a legitimate mess or genuinely contaminated then yes. But I'm not going to run to the sink because I had a wet sneeze.
Heed the words of Bilbo: "It's a dangerous business, walking out your front door..."
...you have to wonder: do they really want to find cures to certain things, like cancer, for one?
Hell no. For the same reason that Big Oil actually shells (no pun intended) out to hinder the development of alternative fuels. It is the lowest humanity can sink: "I don't want things to change because I'll lose profits due to the improvement." Doctors get kick backs for prescribing new drugs that don't cure shell, but merely alleviate the symptoms. It's kinda like how light bulbs are manufactured flawed from the original Edison design. They build in obsolescence to ensure a continuing need for their product.
