Just out of curiosity tho.. How far away from your point of view do your kids have to get before you wish them beaten and tortured?
I don't get it.. I don't wish to see you beaten or tortured.. although... I will admit that I wouldn't mind seeing you try to do it to me which.. come to think of it.. would amount to the same thing.

Far as they like. And they have.
Each has points of views that differ greatly from mine
My only demand is they speak to me in a respectful tone when they do it.
Just as would be expected of them if they were speaking in public to someone.
My son learned that lesson the hard way a few months ago.
We were debating the differences between the greatest generation and todays generation.
My arguement was other then those serving,todays generation cant hold a candle to the civilians of WWII.
His arguement was there is no difference.
After going o back anfd forth for a while I pointed to the computer and said.
"Ok show me something to prove it."
Instead of doing that he started attacking me personally and not my position verbally. which is usually what happens when someone cant back theor arguement.
Larger problem was he was doing it in a very derogratory and disrespectful manner.
End result was him getting knocked on his arse and me reminding him that I was still his father and not one of his college buddies.
It was only the second time in the last 10 years I've raised my hand to him.
thelast time being the time him and his friends were making molitov cocktails in the scchoolyard a block from here when he was 11.
As for you and me. I was only playing with you because I knew what your reaction would be.
You would have done the same thing.
But I agree it would probably amount to the same thing as Its hard to argue with the end of a gun. And I dont own a gun so..
