I think it didn't get enough downvotes. If you need a disciplinarian to motivate you and want to slam somebody for not having the "discipline" you think they should, go ahead. But If I notice it, you're gonna get smacked. Not because I think it will "correct" your behaviour because that doesn't work - but because those you smack around have been smacked around enough - more than enough - and what they need is encouragement. Not criticism.

Did that feel good? Did it make you have second thoughts about criticizing people? No. It's mean. It's manipulative. It's degrading and - It. Does. Not. Work. It has never worked. It's why kids kill each other and shoot up their schools and why terrorists the world over just plain want America dead.

All that ugliness that you think happens for "no reason"? That's the reason. Ugliness breeds ugliness. Anybody that rolls over for such a tyrant is already dead. "Giving up" is what they were taught to do and all they know how to do and I'm tired of seeing it. You want to smack people around because you were smacked around? That's what your own kids are for. Create your own mean little clones of yourself and leave other people's kids alone.

People think criticism is a good thing. It's what they're taught and teach their own kids - it's what society encourages and often even what it demands but it doesn't matter how much flowery language you wrap around it, the life inside the recipient - if he has any left - is going to stand up and that's a good thing. It means they're not dead yet. Of course, it also means that you have a big red target on your back but so what? You deserve it.

TL;DR Fuck off.
