That is what I mean. Perhaps Fritzl thinks we are suggesting to make hamburger meat out of VG's daughter. Or perhaps to attach electrical wires to her. Or to put her in the cold cold ground.

Fritzl, "grounding" is a common punishment used by parents to take away a child's privilege of being able to go ouside and play.

That is disgusting. Personally, I'm offended!

I've always been fond of this one, not originally mine:

"If you don't stop ____, I'll chop off your legs, sharpen the stumps, and drive you into the ground with a mallet."

That's a great one.

Makes me want to have kids just to be able to use it.

I think it would work from about age four onwards...

After all, it's not important anymore what my understanding of grounding is.

The statements here and there are quite inappropriate.

You are making no sense. Please do that in another thread, not this one. Thanks.

A practice that could aptly be termed "grounding".
