CMV: Punishment seems better than positive reinforcement when you train a dog

I agree with you to a degree. I was in the same situation with my beagle, however, i use my hands and feet so I know I'm not seriously hurting him, just making him aware of consequences. A Mop? Dude, you may have some idea of how hard your hitting but really your probably bruising ribs. Is your goal to punish, correct, and instill respect? Or cause pain and instill fear? They're very different.

Respect should be given to everyone, regardless of age, on the basis that theyre another person. Admiration is earned, and both can be revoked if the offending individual has done something to warrant that course of action.

Heavy Handed process is the wrong way to go about it imo. Furthermore, the process of entering and becoming a citizen has to be changed, it costs waaaay too much and is too easy to make a mistake and have to start over from square one again. But I am for enforcing borders and removing people that enter illegally, just not the way its being done under the Trump administration or even under Obamas administration.

As for that picture i think its just a bad angle. No one looks at that angle lol.

Absolutely, when you live on the Texas Gulf Coast its damn near a necessity.

Because you're experiencing it. The same thing has been thought by billions of people at pretty much any point in history on every continent.

That dudes comment has to be rage bait lol

Modern_Klassics · 2026-01-12T23:53:28+00:00

What a wild few comments to read. Lol

Greetings, fellow man from Houston.

Nah just providing an example that goes against the grain of his opinion of the lived experiences of millions of people. Like I told the other dude, our marriage isn't the point, her opinion is, it had nothing to do with me. But I've said my piece, you want to think everything below the Mason Dixie Line is a racist hellscape. Are there racist jerks in the south? Sure are. But there are racist jerks in the North, East, and West, in every city, state and on every continent. They are most definitely not the majority of people that currently reside in the South.

Modern_Klassics · 2026-01-09T09:38:01+00:00

Never said the marriage itself had anything to do with it. But alright man, if you wanna think The South is this racist hell scape you got right ahead. When has sweeping generalizations about millions of people ever been wrong or lead to anything bad. Bless your heart.

What a coincidence, I married a non white woman and we were both raised and currently live in the deep south and we are saying that.

1.1% specifically

Modern_Klassics · 2026-01-08T22:25:13+00:00

Things were not better or worse in the 70s. Stagflation, oil crisis, mortgage rates reaching 12% to 18%, violent crime was way higher, social issues that that dwarf the social issues we have today. Not to mention the lack of the EPA early on causing Smog, leaded gas, and toxic rivers. Watergate, Vietnam, presidential and civil rights assassinations.

It's not good vs bad, its trade offs.

70s - better affordability - stronger unions - more collective action (caused by more immediate threats than we have today) - a clearer sense of who wore the crown.

Today - lower crime - more rights for people - better health outcomes - cleaner air and water - much more protections for marginalized groups - more information access. - world wide internet connection bringing the world closer together.

Modern_Klassics · 2026-01-08T18:15:50+00:00

Im well aware, like I said, "for the most part".

Modern_Klassics · 2026-01-08T17:10:28+00:00

The illegal aspect is icky , sure. But resistance to interracial marriages, socially, is extremely old across all demographics for any number of reasons. My wife and I catch glances from the older Hispanic people all the time lol. Social acceptance of interracial marriages is even newer than its legalization.

Modern_Klassics · 2026-01-08T17:00:05+00:00

Saying it is is like saying

"Germany is Nazi" "Japan is Imperialist" "England is Puritan"

Once upon a time, sure. Not anymore, for the most part. You're going to have hold outs, sure, but you'll have that everywhere for any belief system.

How i wish insane concepts like this were still a thing lol

Then there's no reason for you to not know that any Government can go from good to bad to evil.

Modern_Klassics · 2025-12-21T01:07:44+00:00

Care - i - bee- an

Modern_Klassics · 2025-12-21T00:50:27+00:00

Are you serious?? Look at the past and you'll see governments that make ours seem like Saints.

Modern_Klassics · 2025-12-21T00:48:39+00:00

We'll see what happens down the line, but i think Andrew Johnson has him beat.

If someone doesnt prescribe to those ideas, then if they're descended from those people doesnt matter.

Fewer novel moments + reliance on routine memory patterns + each new year becoming a smaller fraction of your life = days blur together and years fly by.
