Domestic Violence

[Farnan]

Nickelback
Never Again



He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
He's time to run when you see him
Coming licking his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again

I hear a scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
I'm terrified, She'll wind up Dead
In his hands, She's just a woman
Never Again

Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure

He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old ****, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how ****ing
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger just as fast as she can
Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again



This song is a narrative of a case of domestic violence. I'm possessed of a personal belief that wife beaters and child beaters/molesters should be castrated. But what are your thoughts on it?

I agree, but let me contribute this:

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say your right again,
say your right again
heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down a new life she has.

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.
(repeat)

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the grown?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
(repeat)

Same kind of thing.

Domestic violence is terrible


But I really only posted in this thread to say that Nickelback sucks.

Quoted for truth.

I do think pedophiles are worse than those who commit Domestic Violence, but if that does include child abuse they normally go hand in hand.

Even if the domestic violence is only aimed at the mother, the psychological effect on their children is as harmful.

I have zero issues with beating your kids.

I'm not talking slapping him. I'm talking punches, stumps and cricket bats. That's how you build an emotionally strong kid.

You mean you have no objection to beating someone else's kids?

Castration is too lenient. I think they should be crucified or something.

As a victim of domestic abuse during my childhood, somehow I felt overly emotional.

[Da Skinna]

The lead singer looks real funny. Chad Krueger is it? Big head, bad hair, bad facial hair, not that great voice.

But that is a good piece about domestic violence, a terrible thing.

[boofhead]

Perpetrators of domestic violence are weaklings...a woman and children can't stand up to a man. I could take out my entire family with one hand behind my back in about 10 seconds - but the thing is, I am not a wimp, so would never lay a hand on any of them in anger.

These guys just need to be jailed, and the other prisoners should just be told of their crimes. In Australian prisons people who assault women or children are at the bottom of the barrel, and would be beaten senseless on a daily basis. Maybe then they will learn what it is like to be powerless and abused.

Excuse me in my incredulity. Beating is justified when it is used to build character? Just to point it out here, but beating tends to have the opposite effects - rather building character, it tends to break it down.

In that case, it's applied wrongly. My father took things a bit farther than most, but a hard smack in the face teaches a kid far better than "time out" does.

Not really; it teaches him violence is acceptable and that violence is a good (and proper) way of getting things done. Its called negative reinforcement and I feel sure Ummon could go into more detail.

Tell me why slapping your kid in the face when he outright disrespects you is wrong.

[Tom Paine]

Tell me why slapping your kid in the face when he outright disrespects you is wrong.

See also, my previous answer about negative reinforcement: when someone (anyone) does that to him, he will see it as an appropriate response. Furthermore it is simply saying "I'm right because I'm stronger" - physical violence does not show him why he is in the wrong, unless its because you can hit him. It lays the seeds for, when he is stronger than you, him to hit you, I might add...

Discipline is different than Domestic violence.

You might want to research that. You'll find that studies show that physical discipline creates the opposite affect over long periods of time.

Yes, it is negative and neccessarily bad, pretty much... there's a reason its called negative reinforcement.

Sorry Ozy, but you are using the term negative reinforcement incorrectly.

Negative reinforcement is an increase in the likelihood of a behavior when the consequence is the removal of an aversive stimulus. Turning off (or removing) a shock when a rat presses a bar is an example of negative reinforcement (if this increases the likelyhood of the rat pressing the bar in the future. Scratching an itch is another example of negative reinforcement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement

Time out is negative reinforcement. Taking away a child's toy or freedom is negative reinforcement. It simply means that, theoretically, the child will not commit the behavior that is associated with a punishment, rather than commit a pehavior associated with a reward.
