My kid won't stop yelling
My kid is yelling over xbox live so loud I can't think. I asked him nicely to quiet down and he told me to shove it. I'm going to shove it alright... What should I jam in his piehole to shut him up?

Hi, I'm one of the older advisers on this site,probably old enough to be your father. Hopefully the wisdom that comes with my age will be helpful to you.
I agree with NinjaNeer about taking his power cable away and hiding it someplace he can't find it. If he replaces it I would take the xbox itself away and hide it as that is more expensive and harder to replace.
As to his lack of respect. I would like to say a trip to the woodshed is appropriate but in this day and age you would probably get in more trouble that he is being to you.
I think a little community service is advisable here. Depending on his age there are many different things he can do. For every hour of xbox he wants to earn back, at a disciple level you desire. He will need to do an hour of satisfactory community service work.
Places that he can do community service work at would include, the local hospital, churches and senior citizen centers. Depending on his age and ability get around town, you can also check with your counties department of ageing to see if there is anything he may be able to assist a senior citizen with. Where I live there is plenty of work for strong young men to mow lawns, assist with gardening,shovel snow,and general house maintenance.
Depending on his age many fire companies and the local police run cadet programs where he can join and work with them. The cadets do not run calls as such but are allowed certain ride along privileges and do help out around the stations.
I found groundings and loss of privileges does not always work. Community service time did work. In fact it lead to my sons career path. He now has a degree in emergency medicine and is a paramedic/firefighter with a local fire department.

Try going to see a social worker , or a psychologist perhaps he has anger management problems or behavioural problems .

Here's what you do. Take the XBox power cable and tell him he can have it back when he's ready to keep a civil tongue in his head.
