My neighbor has a German Shepard. His name is Casper. Sometimes, when we arrive home, Casper starts barking. What happens? My neighbor says, "SHUT UP, CASPER" and Casper is silenced.

My point being - If you can teach a DOG to be silent on command, you should be able to teach your children.

Rules are just words, man. Social structure doesn't exist, it's all just a conspiracy made by the corporations to keep you conformists in check. Peace!






Is what I would say if I was a total cocknugget.

I guess I have a pretty strong will. When I was a child if I was given a command I would question it (and this was back when whuppins were administered). No matter what punishment was doled out I would be more determined than ever to rebel. I've always hated being told what to do and to conform.
