I know it did, what's your point?

Oh wait there isn't one because I never said that America's history was clean, only that right now it's at least better than Nepal.

Intentioanlly permanently injuring and causing permanent mental damage to a child (the story posted earlier of a nepalese principle sending death threats to a student who the principle SENT IN A COMA comes to mind) makes you a bad parent/caretaker. Nationality is irrelevant.

Also, if it was any sort of armor, it takes a bit of time to put it on. If the parents waited until it was on to give her a thumping, why didn't she just...you know...not put it on? She's already show she's perfectly fine with disobeying her parents at other times.

Maybe because he was punching her in the face until she put the armor on, or just beating her with the rod?

Who knows. This story seems incomplete to me.

Because something has been done for a long time makes it right?

Nope, Chuck Testa.

Indeed.

and? I know a kid who was forced to climb a power pole and got electrocuted. he was forced by his principe and is fine now. we live in a world that just stopped having feudal kingdoms and the ultimate rule of the King about 5 years ago.


a wise man once said: 'what does not kill us makes us strong' besides, I am not the one loosing it and flipping out on the internet.



Wy can't you just understand that people are not all like you. and never will be.


(Note, I am not intending to piss anybody off, but stick to my principles, if a mod dislikes this argument just tell me and I will stop.)

Yeah, that principle is a piece of trash who shouldn't be trusted with the lives of children.

Next you'll be saying a parent sexually assaulting their child just toughens them up.

and Dreadwinter, I m originally from america, so I can understand what you seem to be saying, but 90 precent of people in this country (Nepal) would say 'so what?' to this topic. My cousin (age 6) has been beaten with a broom (bundle of twigs and branches) and then ordered to go and slop out the buffalo pens for causing a mess, I had no adverse reaction to this, it is the norm for most of the world (IE: a world mainly not represented on Dakka.)

So, what you are telling me is that Nepal is a country that has not developed to the point of realizing that beating a child is bad?

Also, a broom? Really? That doesn't even compare to a tree branch and being punched. I probably would have laughed at that because the parent would have looked slowed doing it.

not really, the broom IS a tree branch.


Anyways, I wil withdraw from this thread as I do not wish to start a flame war and it seems a pair of users are too small-minded to see my point of view.

Even the almost 13 year old daughter is nearly as tall as the Wife and has taken to starting their own version of push mom around.
Thats why you take away their cellphone.

And my wife wonders why I told her our children need to fear and love us equally. She's 5'1 if she doesn't establish dominance early we are going to get overrun by the teens. That's why I'm getting her a great Dane as a preview *wink*.

They used to do this in America too you know. besides, we opened our borders to foreigners what? forty years ago? We were still using swords mostly.

How would o you like it if I started to talk trash about America, huh? not that I would mean it, I like it there, but-oh, wait, I am getting sucked int an argument, trolls love that.

And yes, you have been trolling. I was merely stating my opinion.

We were using swords mostly in 1971? Do you live in the Same United States I do?

No, they see your view.

They just find it abhorrent. "Child abuse is a-ok" is abhorrent to most of us.

I see your point of view. I think it is nonsense. Forcing a child to jump on power line, electrocute themselves half to death and probably drop down all the way to the ground without any supports is dangerous and frankly something only a psychopath would do.

Psychopaths shouldn't be trusted to be AROUND children, nevermind have the lives of children placed in their demented hands.

He said he's done with the conversation guys. Drop it.

Eh. I just hate it when people say "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!" when in fact yes, I do get it, but I disagree.

Someone once told me that "hurt people hurt people."

That armor that they gave her wasn't to give her an equal shot.

It was to justify hitting her harder.

Still say they should have deleted her Facebook, she could have worn armor while they deleted her pics one by one if the were that attached to the idea.

where I live, if a kid acts up he gets the broom or the belt.

While beating with a tree branch is a bit over the top, a duel is letting her off light.

I mean, yes armor is heavy but I have sparred with my cousins for hours and hours straight.

Also unlike her I don't think you were forced against your will when you were sparring.

And your cousins are probably roughly the same experience level and size as you, she was fighting someone more than twice her age, who is a renaissance enthusiast, and so probebly knows his way around a sword much better than her.

I seriously can't justify a certain poster's point of view, but won't comment further. What the hell.

This story is terrible regardless of further context.

Fething cosplayers. I swear.

Someone commented before but after reading that story of the archer lass who shot her dad makes me think...Is this a sign?

Women have a lower pain threshold than men and usually have less muscle mass as well. That being said I don't think anyone deserves to be hit unless they've been very naughty.

Actually, I've heard women have a much higher pain threshold than men.




It's just something I've heard, though I feel it is rather supported by pushing a good twelve pounds of screaming, howling angry mass out of their Vagoo....

Feth them throw them in jail!

Give the kid 50,000 dollars and let her sell the knight armor.

Pfff, she should of learned how to defend her self better. Serves her right

There's a difference between threshold and tolerance.

I hate people now - a - days...

What on earth could have compelled them to make her dress in armor, than beat her with a wooden sword....

A passion for anachronism and pater familia?

"Oh, other than the child abuse the child abuse didn't seem that bad."

I am just a bit disappointed that the girl could not hold her own, we take physical endurance very seriously here, it just seems to me that all these coddled kids nowadays in the States are made of styrofoam.

After being beaten, she couldn't hold her own with a grown man, over the course of two hours. Oh, the shame of it.

You're being ridiculous.

She set in motion a reasonable course of punishment. What she suffered was miles beyond that. This is obvious.

Also, if it was any sort of armor, it takes a bit of time to put it on. If the parents waited until it was on to give her a thumping, why didn't she just...you know...not put it on? She's already show she's perfectly fine with disobeying her parents at other times.

...because there's a difference between disobeying your parents while you're away from the house, and disobeying your father while he's standing next to you, having just punched you and beaten you with a stick.

Your opinion is that a man who punched and beat his daughter with a stick, then forced her to duel for two hours until she collapsed has some kind of defence. Your opinion is ridiculous.

Assuming Nepal is completely okay with completely disproportionate acts of violence against minors... then I still have no idea what that has to do with an act of punishment carried out in the US.
