Nobody in the world has a natural understanding of why misbehaving is unacceptable, especially not children. Punishments such as time outs, groundings, and taking things away tells a child that not only has their behavior been unacceptable, but that it comes with a price as well. If you tell a child that something is wrong, but don't do anything about it, then what reason would they have to stop?

RIP Rocco. I'm sure he was a great dog.

Why does it have to be one or the other? How about punishments for poor behavior and benefits for exceptional behavior? That way they have a reason to do well but a fear of doing poorly.

The human mind puts harm > benefits. We fear losing something more than we anticipate gaining something. It's called loss aversion

It's in the best interests of the child because it shows them that their actions have consequences. That's the main reason for any punishment.

It's an internet forum. You can say as much as you want before someone is able to interrupt you. Your points would also be much more clear if you'd use words that people use in every day conversations.

I don't see how banishment from the laptop isn't the obvious solution.

Calm down, they got an email address not your bank account information. How about just not replying to the emails? I get them too, but I just delete them and go about my day.

Heck no. Watch the whole thing.

HEY! I discovered Runescape through Miniclip >.> Ahhh, this brings me back. And dead on with the age guess lol, I just turned 20 last Sunday. We OTers are old as dirt. I'm so glad we all still talk though. Couldn't imagine my day without compulsively checking TIF It's weird. I'm 2 years younger than you and I started playing Runescape way before MiniClippers came in. I was bashing you guys for a while

So why don't you find someone who doesn't think like that? :mellow:

Ice in a drink that isn't water? Have some of these

So you think you got it all figured out don't ya? You just couldn't leave well enough alone?

Also best snipers. And most balanced guns. As if anyone uses snipers for anything other than EPIC QUICKSCOPES. Play Hardcore, suddenly every gun is balanced.

MW1 had the best maps. That's all I can really give for it.

No to the new Eeveelutions. All of Eevee's evolutions resist their own type because they evolved so that they could live comfortably in a certain type of environment. The only additionaly Eeveelutions that would fit would be a Poison type and a Steel type. A Ghost or Dragon type would be suicide for Eevee.

I don't like it either. It sounds like a 10 year old was left in a recording studio for an hour or so. Seems like something people would only listen to while high...

Which is completely ridiculous. I want Pokemon in 3D.

Prediction: Unova region gets raped from all directions and everything is destroyed.

Hmm, this is change. Change is scary. Where's my usual formula of 2 games -> 1 game -> remakes?

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to trade between the games as the 3DS can connect to the others. I will be legitmately annoyed if the name of the 3rd game is anything but Gray/Grey.

"Oh my God, I hate how person X always talks about people behind their backs!" You're talking about person X behind their back you damned hypocrites!

I'm not casting any judgement on you and her, since you're the best judge of that. However, you do realise the vast majority of people who break up don't stay in contact afterwards, don't you? Even if they were friends before dating. There's good reasons for it, closure being the biggest one. In fact, from experience, break ups between two people who were friends before dating tend to be the messiest. There's definitely a tension between both people just wishing the other would disappear, but neither person wanting to let the friendship element fall apart. In the end, you can't have both; you either have to go seperate ways, or just swallow up all the hurt and 'gloss over' it for friendship's sake, even if that means standing by while the other person finds a new relationship. I've only ever seen one such friendship actually stay in tact following a relationship. The rest have gone down in a plume of smoke. agreed - provided the relationship ended on less than mutual terms. 99% of ended relationships, it's best for the 2 participants to just stay the hell away from each other. There is one girl i dated for 3 weeks however, and her and I are still cool. There's an awkward moment here and there, but the relationship wasn't really long enough to even call it that, so given the circumstances our friendship kind of works. ...But it's not like I'm going out of my way to hang out with her. She has a lot of the same friends as me, and we just kind of get along if we ever end up at the same parties. This is where it gets kind of twisted around. We haven't seen each other in almost four years and we communicate entirely through texts. In addition to already being in a long distance relationship, she plans on going to study in London for three years. Of course, we talked about all of this shortly after becoming boyfriend and girlfriend and while we acknowledge the fact that it will be hard, we agreed that we'd both be able to handle it. I know this sounds like it's set up for failure and if it were anyone else, I'd be inclined to agree, but we both went into the relationship knowing full well what our challenges would be and we accepted them.

I'm also good on sleep.

I thought I'd leave some advice for anyone nervous about asking a friend out. Don't fear the friendzone. The message that Lydia sent me before I asked her out was: "If you guys are really friends, you'll definitely stay friends. It might be awkward for a little while but it wouldn't last long at all. And if you didn't ask her out, any girl awesome enough to be the object of your affection would probably get asked out by someone else, and that would suck if she said yes to some jerk."
