Are most parents this bad these days? Not only does this kid need to be smacked, but so does his mom for letting him act like such a brat. I'd have been grounded for a month, with no more video games ever if I threw a tantrum like that.

I see a bright future for this kid in a career of crime, management, or politics.
Ive seen that, its hillarious.
That little poop head, needs a serious beating.
wow... I agree.

Politics? nah he's not that bad.
He only wanted some chocolate milk... :-[

haha, that was shocking.
But his mom gave him something else (to drink)!
I'm supprised she let this go on for 3+ minutes.
I would have just came in there, ripped the cord out and taken the stupid (Pc, Xbox, Ps2, whatever)

And then give him a good smack.
Heh, I saw that a few days ago... Pretty funny stuff...

It's parents like that who wonder why their child never listens to them, or acts up and whatnot... And they're ususally the ones who might be quick to blame their kid's behavior on video games or TV...

However, it's clearly their own fault... They themselves have "trained" this child to be that way, simply by letting the kid get away with that kind of crap...

Kids need to be taught from day one that the parent is the boss, and that kind of garbage won't fly... All it takes is a firm parent... No need for corporal punishment, or even yelling... You only need to tell them how it is, and stick to it... They'll learn... The trick is that you've got to start before they become used to you being a pushover...

But nope, too many parents let their kids get away with stuff, or make idle threats (the whole "1... 2... 2-and-a-half..." crap is the worst), or any number of other mistakes, and they wind up with kids like that...

Of course, I'm not a parent just yet, so I can't show the world how it's supposed to be done, but I can say for sure that no future child of mine will ever speak to me (or anyone, for that matter) in that manner...
It's those damn violent video games. Obviously it was the sexual content of GTA that did it. And the internets.
"I want some mother fucking chocolate milk"

Bwahahahaha. Gotta love 9 year old American voices. =p

That's so funny.

To contribute to what the discussion here is about...personally, I don't think you should ever have to hit your own child as a punishment. Maybe in self-defense if they go on a killing spree, but not as a punishment.
There's loads of ways you can punish someone- a stern talking to, taking away priveledges...grounding them...taking away their entertainment, and so on.
But hitting your child just makes them hate you and makes them store up and brood over their resentment to you. Either they'll end up being psychological wrecks or even less obedient than they are already.

Of course I'm not a qualified psychologist so I can't tell you that what I'm saying is true, but, uh, yeah.
I'm sure plenty of the older members of BYOND (and society) will tell you that they were smacked as children, by parents and in school, and that they're fine, but those people are lying. >_>

Smacking/hitting/injuring your children is not the way to punish (or treat!!!) your children.
I'd rather my mom slap me than ground me. :|
I wish I was the person that was there to record that argueement, that was hilarious as hell.
I wanna beat that kid with his fucking X-Box controller..
Id be the one person who yells on the mic "Get yourself some freaking chocolate milk, and turn of your microphone."
i know a few kids who are/were like that - most of them are either dead, in prison (wishing they were dead), or *shudder* in the armed services. good thing is that in the later case they may very well get their butt kicked for their attitude.

probably the best thing to happen (aside from the parents correcting the brat now), would be this kid having children later on who treat him with the same lack of respect. then the current parents can punch their fist in the air and go 'yes! now you know how we felt!'
