this kinda makes me want to go play wow. I've never played it but this is like the second video I've seen of people flippin out over wow. I even have a friend who was dumped because of his addiction. There has to be something to this wow thing and I want in.

by the way if you have any wow obsession related stories or videos please share this stuff is great.

oh. lol I guess this would be another failed thread for me. the site I got this off of said it was wow. but still point remains, gaming ruins lives if you let them take over to much of your time.

Nothing to do with WoW at all, not sure why'd you'd assume it did. Also, second video is blatently fake.

If you think someone would honestly stick something up their ass while flipping out is real, you might be a little slow in the head. Also the first one seems fake since it's quiet during the intro but once the laptop is set down he starts to flip out non stop.

A lot of people are Betrayed on WoW, by Humanity. Or atleast they were before I quit.

The one of the kids tantruming is fake. But, not for the camera. This is obviously the way he's been getting concessions out of his Mom since he was two. He's yelling and flouncing around in order to get his Mom's attention.

That's a way of saying that it's not fake. What other reason would a kid flip out for, if not to get concessions and attentions out of his parents?

I am 100% sure, in my unprofessional opinion, that that this kid wasn't "acting to make a video for the internets..." If he was faking it, his acting was very convincingly realistic.. I grew up as the eldest of five kids in one household, two in another (parents divorced, remarried, each had more kids), and what I've seen in real life - from myself, a few times, as well as from my assorted siblings - looks exactly the same as this. But I never grabbed a remote control to shove up my butt. Still, when you're freaking out like that, you do dumb shit. I smashed a guitar once. That was sorta similar, I guess.

And I wasn't spoiled as a kid. On the contrary, we were very poor (as you could imagine, my stepfather supporting a wife and five kids...).

Anyhow, all that to say, I don't think he was "faking" and if he was, well, he fooled me.

the only thing that makes me question the validity of these videos is the parents reactions. If that was my kid and he swung a bat at me it'd be over. I'd put the beat down so quick I'd give him something to throw a tantrum about.

One could argue that even if they are fake people do take it WAY too serious. I am not to talk trash about other peoples hobbies even though I do not find it funny - more to the point of being sad really.

I don't think any kid is ever truly "out of control." Those kinds of people get locked up.

me and my big sister got the crap beat out of us every time we did something remotely wrong. My mom almost never hit my younger brother and sister and they always talked back to my mom and never showed any respect. You got to put the fear of god into kids or else they won't respect you.

You can laugh about it, but the authorities don't care if you use fists or mittens.

It's not the way it should be - you're right, you should be able to properly discipline your kids. But that's not how it is these days. They even teach you in school now to call CPS on your mommy and daddy for pretty much any reason. They did this when I was in school, too. We used it as a threat, but we never went through with it. If we had, my life would have turned out a lot different.

Bullshit. I'm sorry, but you turned into a cool dude, but it has nothing to do with the fact that your parents hit you. I respect my parents and everybody I know who has nice parents do to, even though they didn't hit us. As long as you don't spoil the kids and treat them like they're 5 years younger than they really are, they'll turn out fine. Because what you're essentially saying is that I wasn't beaten by my parents and therefor I'm a prick.

PS. Giving kids electric shocks will make them learn faster. But we all know they can learn without it too.

I think it all goes back to that nature versus nurture thing.

yeah I hear about kids calling CPS on there parents and I laugh. Man If I ever did that I would get the crap beat out of me. In fact I think one of my cousins did that once and they had regular visits from a social worker for like a while. He had it pretty good during that time but as soon as my aunt got the OK that she was in the clear it was on. Plus the rest of the family kinda disowned him for a while. I called him a punk for doing that. I use to take my beatings like a man ( although when I knew it was coming I garbed the biggest sweater I could find and I wore as many jeans as I could find. I tried a coat once but my mom got wise to it and ripped it off me before hand, the sweater is more inconspicuous. )

Dude, I'm sorry. But you can't honestly think that it's reasonable to do that, right? Don't you think that there's a different between respect and fear, and don't you also think there are other ways of raising your kids?

I was a badass when I was young. I was the type of kid that if you told me not to do something that would be the first thing I'd try to do when your not looking. I had friends who where like "I don't know man I don't want to get grounded", that blew my mind I was like what the hell is that? I laughed and was like dude if I was you I'd do what ever I want. Big deal your going to take my TV away. Now what did keep me inline was thinking about what my mom would do to me if she found out so when ever I thought that there was a possible way of her finding out I would stay way from that. I was from new york where everyone gets hit.

Basically from personal experience kids will push you and if you let them this crazy screaming guy is the result. I honestly don't see how to deter this kind of behavior with out physical discipline.

But to answer your question yes there are other was to raise kids. I have friends that have never been beat and they've never been in any kind of trouble and are very well mannered so obviously there are other ways. I think the fear in a child will turn into respect when the kids old enough to see why they where disciplined.

just to be clear there is a line between justified discipline and abuse.

It sounds like you're going to treat your kids like I treat my dog. A smart dog will test you, and some times you gotta slap a bitch.

And there isn't a clear line between justified discipline and abuse. A huge gray area which abuse has taken over because our society has become over taken by pansies.

cucumberboy

If there is a way to raise kids without hurting them it's a pretty obvious choice which way to do it. Saying that abuse and discipline are different things is completely beside the point. Unless there's anything that points to the fact that corporal punishment somehow would be better than not incorporating it in the upbringing of your children, I honestly can't see why anyone would prefer hitting their kids. You're saying you don't see any other option, but of course you don't. It's the way you were raised so how could you have had any other experience? My parents never beat me and it worked fine.

From Wikipedias "Corporal Punisment in the home" page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment_in_the_home#cite_note-22

"A 1996 study by Robert Larzelere suggested that, in some circumstances, corporal punishment of children can increase short-term compliance with parental commands, although comparisons in the same study with alternative punishments such as one-minute time-outs did not establish that corporal punishment was more effective."

The only argument you ever hear from anyone supporting corporal punisment is that their parents did it and it worked. So? Being a parent isn't an easy task. Find a way to raise your children without hitting them.

And everyone who don't hit their kids aren't pansies. They are people who can infuse respect through other means. It takes a strong person to do that. Picking on someone who can't defend themselves never seemed that admirable to me. Especially kids.

I think that is a stretch to say that everyone who doesn't hit their kids are strong people who can infuse respect through other means. I don't know if you have ever worked with kids, but there aren't too many that have respect. And usually the ones who act up the most are raised by pansies.

I was never hit as a child, except for a time or two by my mother when I was pretty young. (was happy I didn't have two Korean parents).

And never take a weapon to someone unless you are okay with killing them. A tazer can still kill.

tazer thing was a joke. I'd never do that, not when a remote shock collar is so much more convenient. Yep my kids are going to be shockingly obedient.

No not all parents who don't hit their kids are strong people but physical violence against children makes you no less of a sissy. That's ridiculous. And fists can kill too.

If these are fake then the parents suck for allowing them to do these things: trashing a car, busting up a guitar, destroying a microwave oven, a remote control up their butt for youtube hits, etc.

If these are real then the parents really suck for raising kids like these and for buying anything let alone a car for a kid that obviously needs psychiatric help.

So I guess either way the parents suck.

Yeah I thought about that and wondered how many kids would still call CPS if they knew and understood the consequences. I think before they tell kids to call the cops on their parents for abuse they should point out that being in an orphanage is no trip to Lego Land. But then again that might discourage kids that really are suffering from abusive parents so your damned if you do and damned if you don't.
