Did you ever stop and think how stupid some things your parents ( or other adults ) said to you, and you probably also say yourself !!!
(Having been smacked ) – Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about !
Don’t come running to me when you fall off it and break your leg !
If you’re not going to eat it you can sit there until you eat it !
(Trying to find a lost item ) – Where did you leave it !Indeed, my parents did say these things to me.
I expect they are not said these days in case they constitute child abuse. :roll:

As my bamboo orchard hasn’t taken off yet, I could only afford Morrisons 30p Value Chocolate.
I felt like Charlie Bucket (the poor kid in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which should really be Pandas).
But it was very nice.
I had to eat the wrapper as well as not having any fingers has its disadvantages.
I got a card from the Post Office today saying I need to go down and sign for a parcel – I take it that’s the Thorntons Store, Cosy? :D

I wish for nothing, really.
The only leafs I do these days are tea leafs, well tea bags actually.
Expect nothing of the day and you won’t be disappointed. 8)
@ Gaz:
I wish I could sit in an armchair all day long ranting about this and ranting about that and doing the odd Google search to find an article to back up my views and only having the odd break to add a bit of animation to a few pics.
I do have my opinions like most people on here but what differentiates mine from yours Gaz is actual life experience. I only comment on things I have experienced first hand.
You on the other hand are forever quoting this and quoting that – nothing ever seems to be from your actual life experiences.
Now this country isn’t perfect by a long shot, but then it isn’t bad either by a long shot – there are better countries in which to live and worse countries in which to live.
Now as I will say to anyone who constantly cusses this country and – and that applies to whether they were born here or not – if you don’t like it, bugger off somewhere else and live.
I can assure you, wherever you go will be no Utopia and having lived abroad, I can assure you the grass is not always greener.

@ Panda..
The discipline of children has been removed from their parents/Guardians hands and given to law enforcement.
They are using tasers to “discipline” these children…and although some children’s upbringing and their sense of right and wrong is obscured I hardly feel that a Milgram type discipline is appropriate for children!
This method started back in World War 2 and during the Nazi period ..(and still is used) Achieving complete obedience to immoral orders… and we are using them on the children of today!?
The child is left with a feeling of helplessness… Nothing more.
We.. the adults of the world.. including law enforcement… including the child’s parents should be using effective measures to assist them in achieving a healthy mindset.
Instead of using tasers.. and corrupting the child further…. use other methods… Use the power of Psychology… ( although irrelevant in this topic.. I feel that ADD children would benefit from this also) … we just are not willing to put in the time or effort for these children, we rather torture them… Label them as an A.D.D patient and give them drugs.
Sad really… I would rather get a smack from mum then get tasered that’s for sure. :roll:edit: typo :P
You missed my post then when I said:
If tasering is what it takes then so be it although I think a clip round the ear would do no harm.
Corporal punishment in schools should be reinstated for extreme and constant bad behaviour but then you get the whingeing do gooding parents saying it’s their responsibility to discipline their kids. Shame a lot of them don’t.
Perhaps Gaz should explain what these 13 – 17 year olds were actually doing in order to get tasered. After all, there are two sides to every story.

Ok, let’s redefine the word “children”. :roll:
What this means is that the police have now decided to become judge, jury and executioner! On the one hand parents can be prosecuted for punishing their children, yet here we have the police who are there to “protect and serve” abusing children in this way. Some of these weapons emit surges of up to 50,000 volts, try it, pick up a live wire in your home, and see what you think!
If a child becomes violent where they cannot be controlled, then there are far less
agonising methods can be used to subdue them. The police are trained for this and we are talking about children here. Another example of state control enforced with violent people in uniform. These are new toys for the police, another way to enforce their will upon the public. Little wonder some children grow into the worst of offenders. Corporal punishment was a great excuse for bully teachers to intimidate children and was rightly forbidden.Don’t get me wrong, I realise some children are indeed devoid of morality, take the Jamie Bulger incident, or further back in time to the Mary Bell murders… these are some examples of children at their worst, however, children are children and MUST be treated so and their lawful rights protected at all costs. If they are guilty, then punish them, until a conviction takes place, they are after all, innocent.
I don’t propose to debate the moral decline of children in this country as that is a non-starter and can only involve assumptions. I do propose to condemn the use of these weapons against anyone, whether a child or not.
I agree completely.
I doubt you would agree if you were on the receiving end of these “children.”
When do you stop molly coddling these thug children and make them take responsibility for their actions? When they’re in the adult prison system? You do gooders are actually doing more harm than good with your soft approach to these thugs / killers. They know their rights – they know what they can get away with and that’s the problem.
Gaz – you see this country as a police state – I don’t have a lot of time for some cops but one thing I do know, we do not leave in a police state.

Information was sought on the age of people who were Tasered by the police in England & Wales. Information was also sought on the ethnicity of Taser subjects.
The data is held on a central database held by the Home Office and contains every use of the Taser electroshock weapon in England & Wales. In an internal review in a separate request, the Home Office offered to generate these reports from the database but not release the actual dataset itself.
The report reveals that the Taser was used 223 times against children aged 13 – 17 from July 2007 and December 2009 (this figure includes ‘red dotted’ with laser sight, drawn, fired etc).
3 children aged 14 were shot and electrocuted with the device.
Children aged 13 – 17 make up 4% of those electrocuted by the police.

It’s a great comfort knowing we live in such a caring country…..Smack your children and you could very well end up the wrong side of a visitors table in the local HMP…..Far better to leave the punishment of children to the authorities !
You lot still in slumberland or what ?Hearing you loud and clear Gaz.
Depends if these 13 – 17 year olds are actually “children” or nasty, feral, violent, foul mouthed thugs.
There is a difference.
Using the word “children” conjures up a warm, cosy image of polite, loving caring human beings.
Sadly, some “children” aren’t like that – just ask the victims who have been abused or beaten. Or ask the families of those that have been killed by these “children.”
In this article, poor Mr Norton doesn’t get to enjoy life anymore: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/five-boys-guilty-over-stoning-death-463732.html
His killers are walking free, btw.
