Uh...is this based on the same ‘science’ as global warming? Oh nevermind.
Let’s see....what do we know for sure. Well, we know that most liberals don’t spank their kids (and ergo, most liberals’ kids are raving brats - just watch Supernanny for evidence of that). And we also know that most scientists are liberals.
Hmmmmmm....I wonder if there’s a connection between those two facts and the release of this study.....?
And what do you wanna bet that our tax money paid for this bogus BS.
Hey, if the kid weren’t stupid to start with, the spankings probably wouldn’t be warranted.
Tripe.
Which came first the spanking or low IQ.
Can’t stand studies [often TAXPAYER funded] which utilize the most flawed parameters and questions. Ugh.
What was really funny was when my mom tried just using her hand once. It not only didn’t hurt, it made me start laughing. The harder I laughed, the harder she ‘tried’ to spank (I had really pissed her off). It was hilarious! I think I lost my phone in my bedroom over that laughing fit. Now that REALLY hurt. It wasn’t worth it. Shoulda faked croc tears!
“This study is pure manure.”
You can not change a person’s IQ. Aren’t they born with it?
Exactly. Another in a heap of examples of so called 'research' where the result is decided upon, and then the supporting 'evidence' is manufactured. More "global warming" if you will.
“Maybe kids who got spanked less were quick learners.”
Or girls.
My mother made us walk to the end of the driveway and bring her a branch off the tree to spank us with.
My coaches and school principals and male classroom teachers and wood shop teachers all competed with their various theories on how to make their homemade/shop made boards deliver the worst swats. Some believed in holes, some in tape, some thought that long and skinny was the most painful and others went for wide. I held the class records in Junior High and in High School yet I graduated and for a while my name was in the phone book of a big and important city.
I figured out that I had to hide the paddle, which I did. :-)
My father used to strap us with his belt. It didn’t jar our brains one bit— but it hurt like heck. He didn’t have to do it very often!
according to this, I should be mentally retarded.
And we also know that most scientists are liberals.
I don’t buy that! Scientists use facts,reason and logic to problem solve. Liberals use emotion. Huge difference!
Children who don’t act dumb.
Sounds like a smart move...
Most walmart shoppers are Republican - I doubt they’re called “walmart kids”... More like “target kids” - democrats...
Good one ...
THAT is the essence of it.
Children with lower IQs more likely to be spanked.
Chicken and the egg.
