Bring back tough love. Kids these days are too soft and demanding (timeout ). I grew up by the belt and so will my kids, although the idea of sending them out to cut a switch is very enticing.

Same here, I can remember how I was beaten up by my old man with either his belt or a good kick in my ass. Was a painfull childhood, still, i got to have a nes, a snes, computer games, and my old man always cared of me.

Now, I see how I behaved and how he educated me, and i'm grate full for that. It was harsh, but it resulted on something good, now like my younger brother that he lacks a lot of qualities that I have thank to that teaching

Now, i see my older sister sons, and they behave pretty bad, but they hadn't got a good woop to put em straight.

Man, how i miss my old man.

On to the topic, its pretty sad, and videogame haters will milk this one as they had milked others news in the past where videogames and people death are related, but still, i know that videogames aren't at fault, its the parenting parents gave nowadays

Well, I guess some people were well disciplined when they were little... and now, from what I heard from a random news story, they want to ban disciplining children using hurtful methods, like a good clean hard spank to the ass. I think those methods should be encouraged, and "time outs" should be discouraged because they don't really do anything. Need to put some fear in the children; they need to learn that they SHOULDN'T do bad things like spitting on the carpet *SMACK!*. Some parents are wimps these days. It's saddening.

Hit the nail right on the head.

Thats the trouble these days there are no punishments given out to stop a child from doing that. I mean in my parents days they used to have the board rubber hurled across the classroom at the pupil look at what you get now just a talking to and sent out the class. Tougher sentences on crimes commited if you commit a crime you pay the consequence of serving prison time and not just 3 month prison time and being let out in 1 and a half for good behaviour. Make it so they serve there whole long sentence like a year on prison they would think twice before they commit the crime again.

Why can't the UK goverment adopt the same style they use out in the states for there punishments on longer sentences . Eg: Life means life not just 6 years as it is here.

damn, i bet he was obsessed with his wii..

[Triv1um]

Anyone who care about a games console enough to take there life because of it, deserves to die.

I know it sounds harsh, and of course I feel sorry for the family. But I don't feel sorry for the kid.

Actually, I don't feel sorry for anyone whom commits suicide. It just takes another weak minded person out of the gene pool.

Condolences to the family though.

precisely.



I wonder what Charles Darwin would have to say about this.... Probably nothing nice... but all true

Actually, not always true. It can be life w/(o) the possibility of parole. Even though its usually as long as 60-70 years before that possibility. Of course "usually" applies to dumb $#@!. Not where it really matters with murderers, rapists, and chomos (receive a slap on the wrist the first 20 times).
