"Maybe the mother should have been fined as well. If parents refuse to discipline their own children, why should everybody else be subject to their poor behaviour."
Exactly!! The unruly behaviour and utter disrespect the mother allowed her toddler to demonstrate, most likely prevented the doctor from being able to do his job. To be subject to such behaviour, IS a form of abuse!
A good 'old-fashioned' smack is the best medicine for any unruly young child. The doctor did what was in the best interests of this child and was punished for it. If this happened during the 1950s, the mother would have taken the child straight out of the medical centre and smacked him hard. She would have then apologised to the doctor for the behaviour of her child, either in person, by phone or via a written letter. That would have been a decent, responsible thing to do.
Heather, you don't need to go way back to the 1950's for that example. My kids were born in '99, 2000 and '03. They got plenty of smacks. Usually a threat was enough, because they knew I would follow through. You should hear them complain about misbehaving kids now! James is spot-on: society is reaping the reward for the lack of discipline and eroding parental rights and responsibilities.
Exactly! And you are right - We don't need to go all the way back to the 1950s for that example. But no-one would have thought ill of you if you smacked your child back then, as it was understood by the whole of society as a normal and expected part of bringing up a child.
As far as I know, Coles have had a rule in place for some time which prohibits the sale of knives to anyone under the age of 18.
Sometime ago (perhaps a year ago), while I was lining up at the express checkout at our local Coles store (only a few suburbs away from where this incident occurred), I noticed a sign that said that the sale of knifes to anyone under the age of 18 is prohibited at Coles stores. Just under this sign, there was an advertisement which included a photo of a group of young people who appeared to be teenagers, dressed up in costumes resembling warriors/knights. What I found amusing was that the youngster at the forefront of the photo was holding a massive sword in his hand!
IF: Albo is going to get the Russian Diplomat to give an account of how Mercenary Oscar Jenkins was killed after being captured by the Russians,
THEN why was he quiet on how Australian Grandmother Galit Carbone was killed by Hamas terrorists on Oct7, and said nothing about the 240 odd hostages who were kidnapped/tortured/murdered by same terror group? Maybe his Muslim voters might take poorly to terrorists being held accountable for their actions?
Bowen wants EVs but they will be useless because there will not be enough electricity to even power lights or computers if he gets his desired net zero goal.
It seems that without taxpayer subsidies there would be no solar factories or wind factories. I guess in 40 years there will be no EVs, no solar factories and only the bare forests of standing concrete towers to show what were wind factories.
The man is a goose , a bare faced liar or delusional retard or all three . Wanker is the kindest epithet that I can use here .He only looks about two piss pots high (?) could this be the small man syndrome showing itself .
I went for a scan of a sore knee. The question was did I have any tattooes? No, why do you ask? Because black and red ink in tattooed contains mentals that upset the machine.
Surely not great for your health having a skin full of metal !
The doctor failed to ask if I was pregnant, but then not many men get pregnant! I am absolutely sure that none of our rams( male sheep) or bulls( male cattle) have ever got pregnant.
Right on as usual. Full disclosure - I love what you write and beats me how you manage to do it well, so well and so often. The appointment of Jill Segal was total window dressing. Whilst I don't think that Tennis Albo is an anti semite, he is beholden to the far left of his party and to Captain Pwong who clearly Runs The Show. Imagine this- Captain Pwong meets Bibi at the inauguration? will she do a citizens's arrest? hm, oh yes, USA not a party to the Punch Israel Show. She must be Very Upset. Shame.
As usual James very informative ,about the Xray perhaps they/it/or whatever should to add to there request that everybody from the age 12 to 55 regardless of there gender if they have trouble with there prostate to have the one finger test to decide if it needs to come out. Cant be bothered to talk about Albo or DiCaprio waste of time. Can anyone remember when the government offered a big subsidy to install gas in our cars [save the planet stop using petrol] when did anyone last see someone putting gas in there car, electric cars will end up the same way. About the doctor if a parent cannot control there child with just a basic word [ like sit down and be quiet] in my opinion the smack is justified,
I gave up using FarceBlock accusing Mark Suckerborg of censoring my post about the Pfizer vax with 10 pages of adverse events after a couple of months that the FDA wanted to hide for 75 years. It now seems more likely that the main cuplrit could well have been a team of secret squirrels paid for by my tax dollars. In any event, whether the "fact checkers" have been ditched yet for Australian customers is apparently somewhat uncertain. One of these days I may do another test post but potentially it looks as though my lack of patronage of the platform may have had an impact on his bottom line ;)
That person is going to get tough with Russia ? When not a squeak from him when the Chinese navy blasted a group of Aussie clearance divers working on their ships propellers . An ASDIC pulse is a very powerful sound wave that could cause serious damage to a mans health .I can see an election loss looming here as he has suddenly become very interested in Aussie welfare both at home and abroad Never mind, the tennis is on now, so we wont be inflicted with sight or sound of him at least for a while anyway
My son turns 12 this year. I would feel exactly the same way!! To ask any male if he is pregnant is deeply insulting. For a 'professional' health worker to earnestly ask a 12 or 13 yr old boy if he is pregnant is not only deeply insulting. It is child abuse!! 😡
True story.
WHEN (not IF)…
I asked my 14yo son last night what he would say if he was asked at a medical appointment if there was a chance he was pregnant
THEN …
Without even hesitating he said ‘I would ask you where the f$@# you had your medical training’
Mic drop !

It is all window dressing "look at me arent I tough ?"Then whinge when their sales drop off ban all knives ? rubbish and they would have to know it .

So true on all counts, James. Please keep the IF/THENs coming.

The world has gone seriously mad! 12 to 55? I am trying to imagine a pregnant 55 year old. Nope! Just can’t do it!
I think I would be embarrassed if my child misbehaved in the doctor’s rooms and the doctor had to be the one who disciplined him.
Right on as usual. Full disclosure - I love what you write and beats me how you manage to do it well, so well and so often. The appointment of Jill Segal was total window dressing.

This world has been turned into a loony bin

My grandson just turned 12. I’m imagining the confused look on his innocent, anxious, velvety smooth face, and the fury on mine if I was there. 😡

And good for a dads backhander as well .
DiCaprio is the biggest hypocrite of all of them, and that’s saying something.
Just another Holly weird ,plastic parasite . How long before Donald Trump gets the blame for these fires ?
Bob, I read somewhere it’s already his fault because he’s a “climate denier!” 🙄
The US Left might already be groping for a way to drag Donald Trump into court over that.
They will spend the next four years trying to throw mud over him in any and every way they can.
Or shoot him ?I dont think the "good ole boys would stand for that and if that were to happen there would be more than just California burning .
That possibility had also come to my mind. Trump has lots of furious enemies, inside and outside the US.
….and I’ll say an ‘amen’ to that too! 👍
As am I Christine ---from day one .
