With todays soft-cock approach to parenting ("you shouldn't hit kids"), there is no discipline! My old man got the belt out on my ass when I messed around, and I know now that I did genuinely deserved it. It adjusted my attitude. Got into RAAF training and karate and learnt alot of discipline and respect for people. But also taught me that others should respect you and your property also. Its a two-way street.

I'm tough on my 9yo, but I explain "why". He knows I want the best for him and I'm only showing him the ropes of life ... but not 'sheltering' him from it. We've sent him to bed without dinner because he didn't do his homework (lied that he had, to play Xbox). He had his cry, but I told him the next day that if you don't finish school and get a job, there would be no food on the table for himself, so if he can't get past that little episode and move on, then he's not ready to make his own decisions and we'll make them for him. So he was banned from the Xbox for a week and did his homework under our supervision. He's now learnt things like the Xbox are rewards, not something he's meant to have by right. He's a good kid and supports his mum around the house alot and I've rewarded him with bike rides and the sort. I'm actually in the process of window shopping for a little dirt bike for him. Do good, get treated good.

Unfortunately, the general public don't know the difference between 'discipline' and 'abuse'. Everyone is too willing to point the finger at the parents for hitting their kids, and still blaming them when that same kids steals something because the parents couldn't discipline them. Eat a tea spoon of cement and harden the f**k up. :P

Don't go assuming you know me. :laugh: I'm an easy bloke to get along with, but get on the wrong side of me and there's hell to pay. Touching my toys without being invited? Thats a big no-no! My background puts me in a better position to 'get away with it' than most people.

And as far as the law is concerned ... you just gotta know your rights and the corners to get around it.

And like i said they had two kids both raised the same, one good one bad.

No matter what it is up to the person to decide to be good.

I gaurantee your son will at some stage do something that makes you unbelivibly angry or ashamed.

Discipline isn't always going to work.

And before you think i'm the kind of person against smacking you should see the wooden spoon i got if i f**ked up badly. And i do think smacking is acceptable within reason.

So going by what you're saying, it doesn't matter what parents do, the kids are going to do their own thing anyway.

If thats the case, then we shouldn't even waste our breath with discipline and let nature take its course.....I don't think you really believe that.

Proper parenting with boundaries & guidlines makes a massive difference to a kids life and I understand that doesn't mean that sometimes even the best kids won't stray.

In your first sentence you disagree with me.

And your final sentence is exactly what i am saying.

So I don't see your point.

I never once said it doesn't matter what the parents do, but the ultimate decision in the end is up to the kids.

Obviously a good upbringing, and caring parents will hopefully help the child make the right decisions in life. But it is not the be all answer. Like i've said many times in the end it is up to the individual.

Kids are allowed to stumble and get it wrong. Its the lesson learnt that counts. The really bad kids believe there is no lesson to learn. The good ones learn the lesson and move on. Discipline is also a means for kids to understand what they've done wrong and take a lesson from it.

Hell out of my bro and sis and me, I was the one to get busted shoplifting when I was young. I learnt my lesson and I've made mum proud since. My sis and bro kinda went the other way in life, much to the disappointment of my mum.

it doesn't surprise me that the coppers took 36 hrs to respond, ever needed one?, i must say the citizen who caught him showed lotsa restraint, I have caught a guy of oriental descent trying to steal my car one night and...... lets say he had a nice trip in a st johns van.

These little punks being thieves really give me the shits, just makes you want to slap them around, go to school ,get a job , make some money, don't spend your cash on drugs and you can have a phatt ride and a good life. seriously how hard is it?.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
