Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (aside: I know some of you uptight types might disagree with my posting this here. Well, I am elated so I shall choose to pretend you not exist) As some of you may be aware, I became grounded two years ago. However, I (somewhat) managed to remain active and alive in the SW community, posting and breaking/fixing my website. I even (coughcoughfinishjudgingcough) submitted a scenario for a contest. And now, after two fun-filled years of anxiety, depression, and bitter resentfulness, I have been ungrounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I could never really see the point of grounding. if you don't stay in your room, what would your parents do? beat the living day-lights out of you? put you up for adoption? if they do they probably don't love you anyway, and you are better off somewhere else, no?

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hey! Don't get rid of childrens' obedience, I'm going to need that some day. I think the only problem with grounding is that sending the child to his/her room, where, most likely, there are a lot of toys, doesn't really punish the child in any way.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Who said grounding has to send a kid to their room? Grounding covers any loss of fun activities. Toys, computers, going to friends' houses, game consoles, cell phones, staying out late, and so on. Dikiyoba's parents were fond of taking away Dikiyoba's books. That usually worked.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 [grumble] I still think duct-taping kids to the ceiling ought to be an effective deterrent. Plus it would get them out of the way. And it would stimulate the economy by promoting sales of duct tape. So far my wife won't let me try it, though.

Rotghroth Rhapsody waterplant Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Verbal abuse is easily the most effective punishment for children and has a residual effect that punishes the child long after he or she has passed childhood.

[/grumble] Well, under normal circumstances I'd recommend superglue to affix things to ceilings, but it has cyanide compounds in it, so it's probably not suitable for bonding flesh. Effective, yes, but not suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Synergy Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Anyone see the Mythbusters team stop a speeding car with a wall of duct tape? The also made a rope bridge out of nothing but duct tape over a ship building bay and walked across safely. Use enough duct tape, and you can make or do almost anything. -S- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effective, yes, but not suitable. If you haven't been feeding your children increasing doses of cyanide all their lives to increase their immunity, you're a bad parent.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Who needs to add it. Most foods have so many toxic chemicals in them that they should have already built up their immunities. Unless you are one of those only organic freaks.
