In light of bigger issues an in deference and respect to the loss of the webmaster, I'm done with this line of discussion.

AvBug,

Your tone and demeanor in this statement is just a little troubling. Using violence to stem violence regarding this issue is probably a little over the top. Would never suggest that beating or doing physical harm to children is acceptable under any circumstances but having read some book that suggest spanking is inappropriate at any time, does not make one a child spanking authority. Doctor Spock you are not. Now maybe you have had additional training in this area so forgive me as I’am assuming to much.

The suggestion that you might cause such a person to bleed from any number of orifices is bloviating at its best. I have noticed that some of our members are more than willing to threaten others as long as they can hide behind some screen name. I have occasion to spend a lot of time around people that are dedicated to executive protection. They are with very few exceptions not big hulking brutes that you could spot a mile away. Instead they typically are guys and some gals that are under 6’ and very mild mannered in their demeanor. Most if not all are former Navy Seals, Army Rangers. I think you get the idea. For your sake, should you find yourself with an uncontrollable urge to slap one of them for spanking their children in a public place, please don’t follow your instincts as it will not benefit you or your cause. BTW, none of these folks strike me as the type who goes home and beats their wives, girlfriends, or children.

The point of this is not to intimidate you or others, it’s just than when one makes these over the top statements, one should think twice. I am afraid that your statements to the contrary would lead to further bleeding and unnecessary pain on your part. i.e., you need to cool the rhetoric in this case at least. These comments are given in good natured spirit and only for everyone’s benefit that may think otherwise.

Um, just to clarify things, are you talking about flight instructing or something else? imp:

Would it matter?

Hmmm :laugh: I'll stop before I get into trouble.

Were you ever a Marine?

 

[Tailwheelman]

Pilots on Flight Info who list every single airplane they have ever flown.

Certainly didn't mean to get your panties in a wad Skippy.

Everyones got one or two listed...I elected to be different. Its not like it took any special research on my part...I remember all of them quite well. The list is very broad...someone else here may have flown one of them too and have something funny to say about it. Or maybe even ask me something about one of them.

In my mind when being asked what aircraft have you flown and you list two Lears......well thats about as dry as a popcorn fart.

How about the "guard" Nazis. Someone transmits on 121.5 and instantly the self-proclaimed guardian of the frequency chimes in with "Hey! You're transmitting on guard."

love those guys- out in the middle of nowhere too

Not really flying related, but pertaining to this website; people who don't read the profile of the person they are responding to.

Especially when the feds asked you to do so..that's happened to me.

Feds asked me to do a test on 121.5 and some dumbas had to interupt.

Huh?

How come all the guys that advocate spanking of children are all single SOB's?? And what'll you bet that none of them have been involved with abused children either.

If you were privy to children being abused, and personally involved with such children, I bet you would have none of it.

What abusers just stop doing it, never to repeat the abuse again? Very few, if any. What does it take to stop an abuser? Words? Stares? Frowns?

As a matter of fact I am happily married and think spanking children when done in the correct way can be an effective way of disciplining your children. You have to be more careful using words like "all".

*edit*
...and I'm not talking about abusing children. I'm talking about teaching your children not to be civilly disobedient. There's a difference. Person abuse is definitely not tolerable...especially when it involves children who don't know any better.

Affecting Effective Spanking?

So. Does affecting corporal punishment mean you spank with a lisp?

(sorry, you can't claim the Grammar Police as an Aeronautical Pet Peeve )

Anyways, ob aviation peeve: 172SP seats that don't fold forward more than a couple inches. It takes some effort and the removal of both wheels to fit my bike in the back seat of a 172.

Thanks...good catch!

But we are speaking about abuse...

The funny thing is abusers sound just like you, and never admit to being abusers. Many children suffer in silence, and there is NO ONE to help.

Go ahead and scold me for using "all" instead of "most all", it is a small thing. But what I really meant to say is I think that none, or rather to satisfy the content police, most of you pro-spankers, don't even have children. I hope you would fight just as hard for children whose parents don't seem to know the difference between lovingly teaching, training and disciplining, and physical abuse. There are many kids who never get disciplined the right way-on both sides of the spectrum.

What would you do if you witnessed a child being abused by his parents? What would be your actions?

 

[Flechas]

One of my biggest pet peeves is captains that ask you ¨Are we there yet¨.
Especially when they do it every leg. Believe me guys, it is not funny, quite annoying actually.

 

[minitour]

Abuse is wrong. But a firm swat to the behind when a child is totally out of line never hurt anyone.

Because when we go out in public - like to a restaurant, to enjoy a quiet meal, there is always some &$^#% out of control whirlwind of a devil child at the table next to us throwing food, screaming, cursing their parents, pulling pictures off the wall, running up and down the aisle, plowing down the waitress and we think "hey maybe those parents should learn how to.....'parent'!"

 

[learflyer]

How's about barreling towards a level 5 and about two mins from entering it and you can't get a word in to ask center for a deviation! and when u finally do, they say standby. Time to turn!

i noticed the opposite. its the single people that dont know what its like to raise a child 24/7. they are the ones in the supermarket trying to tell some parent how to discipline their child when they have never been in their shoes. all they have to worry about is a cat at home.
