The leftist infiltration of the social sciences over the last three-quarters of a century casts doubt on a whole lot of research.

[Jeff Chandler]

One of my favorite Dennis Prager quotes:

Ever since I attended college, I have been convinced that either “studies” confirm what common sense suggests or that they are mistaken. I realized this when I was presented with study after study showing that boys and girls were not inherently different from one another, and they acted differently only because of sexist upbringings.

Citing God’s Word as though it was intended to answer all questions, including scientific questions, is to twist and abuse it.

[Arthur McGowan]

It’s amazing how many people think that hitting people is the way to build trust, teach them to reason, and instill love of God and neighbor.

Strange that these people, who believe so strongly in the benefits of hitting people, put their belief into practice only with people who are A fraction of their size.

[Just mythoughts]

Citing God’s Word as though it was intended to answer all questions, including scientific questions, is to twist and abuse it.

Boy you are going to have 'fun' come your turn on judgment day.... Especially, since Christ Himself declared in Mark 13:23 “But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.”

Peter says the preacher/priest class gets judgment first. Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

What did God do to the sons of Aaron when they ignored His instructions?

[Olog-hai]

The record thus far is that God’s word and actual science always concur. Pseudoscience, not so much; especially godless leftist pseudoscience with the goal of attacking the family (a creation of God).

And that is a distraction from what I was talking about, mainly your lie: calling God’s own word “crude scientific beliefs from the Bronze Age”.

I guess my IQ should’ve been 200.

[NetAddicted]

I learned by burning my fingers.

[datricker]

You should go to boxing gym sometime. Seriously you will be surprised. On of the last places where an adult can hit a kid. Just not yours. So it all works out. Wonderful place some of the nicest people really

[NetAddicted]

He became a drug addict BECAUSE he was spanked?

[LegendHasIt]

My father used psychological warfare against me mostly.

I’d have preferred a good spanking, and just get it over with, rather than endure disapproval.

Mom spanked... And it pained her more than it did me.

The only way spanking would lower IQ is if you literally had your head up your @$$, and they used a wooden paddle.

[NetAddicted]

I take it you were physically abused as a child. There’s a difference between a spanking and physical abuse, FYI.

[TigerClaws]

It’s a positive correlation. The poor have lower IQs and are more likely to spank. Therefore, spanking lowers IQs and causes poverty.

Spanking should be used very rarely but is useful for instructing children.

Consider the state of schools these days. We had a Junior High Principal who had a paddle. Students could be sent there and ‘corrected.’

Now kids in grade school say ‘F*** you’ to their teachers. No threat of paddle. Thanks to Obama’s crazy DOJ they can’t be suspended. Suspending kids is racist. Now they aren’t even sent to the principal’s office. That’s racist, too.

So they run amok and cause chaos in classrooms with impunity.

There are kids who listen to their parents, for whom other corrective methods (time out, for instance) will work. But there are rare occasions for even good kids where they do something completely out of bounds after being warned or kids who just don’t listen.

Without physical control over kids they’ll harm themselves and others.

If you look at the current generation of college kids running amok, one wonders what type of upbringing they received. Did the (mostly white) snowflakes melting down on campus, obsessed with their own hurt feelings, and ready to inflict their constant finding of ‘microaggressions’ get spanked? I doubt it.

Spanking should not be banned.

We should also consider instituting mandatory military service. A round of basic training will burn out the namby pamby pinko weak-kneed nonsense passing for smarts among the college crowd.

The weakening of the herd is the goal of the Left. Spoiled kids, mentally unstable drugged up cuckold beta wimps, and a weakened European stock make a nation ripe for invasion.

[Hootowl]

My parents were strong believers in spanking and my IQ is in the 99.4 percentile. Think how smart I’d be if they never laid a finger on me! LOL!

[Hootowl]

LOL! My mother let me pick my own switch. I got pretty good at it because if I picked one too small she made an alternate selection.

[ETL]

Spanked? Hell, I got the crap beat out of me.

The 4 Yorkshiremen - Monty Python

(Four well-dressed men sitting together at a vacation resort. ‘Farewell to Thee’ being played in the background on Hawaiian guitar.)

Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable.

Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah?

Terry Jones: You’re right there Obediah.

Eric Idle: Who’d a thought thirty years ago we’d all be sittin’ here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?

MP: Aye. In them days, we’d a’ been glad to have the price of a cup o’ tea.

GC: A cup ‘ COLD tea.

EI: Without milk or sugar.

TJ: OR tea!

MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.

EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.

GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.

TJ: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.

MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, ‘Money doesn’t buy you happiness.’

EI: ‘E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN’. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.

GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!

TJ: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!

MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin’ in a corridor! Woulda’ been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.

EI: Well when I say ‘house’ it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.

GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!

TJ: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.

MP: Cardboard box?

TJ: Aye.

MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o’clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o’clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!

TJ: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o’clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing ‘Hallelujah.’

MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won’t believe ya’.

ALL: Nope, nope..

I was spanked and deserved every one I got.

Principal Kelly had a baseball bat the the wood shop had planned down to a flat surface. It was to be feared. If you got three licks from him do not tell your parents. They would call Mr. Kelly and ask why it happened. At this point you would probably get more at home.

I deserved them. I guess I could have been in Mensa instead of just 130 IQ. "I coulda been an contender." but Mr. Kelly beat 10 points off my IQ.

What passes for psychology today is mostly bovine scat with a few scientific words to confuse and are still bovine scat.

[tumblindice]

Wicked, naughty, evil Zoot!
We must give her a good spanking.

[cpdiii]

I’m against it. It teaches children that their parents are willing to physically hurt them. That’s bad.

Bad people in the world will kill them. The reality of life might come as a great shock to them, just before they die.

[fella]

Einstein would be a mere child compared to us.

But on the other hand all the kids I grew up with who weren’t spanked came to bad often violent ends.
