Remember kids, watch what you say. Bullying is not something to be taken lightly.

Just goes to say...NEVER video yourself 'pretending' to be a jedi/sith without proper lightsaber training from 'Ray Parks'. Reference Kenobi/Maul scene in Episode 1) Nuff said! :gunsmilie:

And to think Mark Hamill was worn out doing the wimpy Episode 6 scene with Vader...over 2 weeks!

I feel like I can laugh at this video, because I did this all the time a few years back. you can tell he is having fun. but it's just to far when people start bullying him over having fun. People need to grow up and stop hating.

People need to stop getting all butt hurt over what other people say. I was small for my age right up until my sophomore year. I was picked on all the time. Suicide never crossed my mind because nobody fed into any kind of "poor me" [poo]. My father told me to quit whining and man up about it. Thats what I did. Bullying only has an effect if you let it. Or, if everyone feeds into it.

This country is turning into a bunch of pansy ass, whining crybabys who get all butt hurt about every little thing that anyone says.

Makes me sick to my stomach.

Perhaps there needs to be more butt hurt in this world...the kind where the parents spank the butts of their little ones. If the kid laughs, spank em harder.

That's the most ignorant thing I have ever read. I don't know how to approach it yet. I'll return with a proper response after my finals week.

no matter how perfect some parents can be... kids can grow up not knowing how to handle stress/criticism very well. It happens. Some people simply don't have the "right stuff" I guess.

and regarding spanking.. I got some of those many times when I was a kid and I don't see it as something bad. Everyone always says to this day how my brother and I are a thousand times better than all of my cousins, who grew up being spoiled brats. Today they are young men and women with problems. That's why the world is doing so bad... people are growing up and don't know anything about Reason.

Anecdotes are fine and all, but they're no substitute for actual science. And the actual science, unsurprisingly, tells us that physical abuse is bad for children. Yes, spanking is physical abuse.

Two separate studies:

Ow! My poor wittle feelings! That makes you a mean ole bully!

Crater, spank this. Kids these days are useless, worthless, lazy jack wagons that want to live on mommys couch and expect the world to serve thier every whim. Spanking is discipline, not abuse you pompous ass. Reading things does not make you right.
