It's not a lie to remind someone about their posts, Fat Boy. That fact you claim "it's okay to remind a poster" is a lie indicates dishonesty and guilt on your past. Is this another example of how YOU walk with the Lord?Except nobody, me included, did any such thing,..... LIAR.It's okay to remind a poster they admitted to beating children. OTOH, all the sane people know only Damo and the mod's opinion counts, not yours and not mine.
My ass got tanned (actually reddened) may a times. Maybe that's what some kids need today to straighten them out early.
Would you snap it off and then stick it up (my parents) rectum until it came out of their mouth? I doubt it.
you believe spanking a child is abuse?????
It absolutely is, regardless of what I believe.
The picture is coming in more clearly.
Conservatives advocate child abuse. That's pretty clear.
My daughter arrests child abusers.
We're on different sides of the issue.
People are on different sides of issues all the time.
I can say this. If my parents had been abusive to me, I would not have had any relationship at all with them as an adult.
But thankfully, I did.
I got hit often enough at the gym, anyway.
you believe spanking a child is abuse?????
this is precisely why I don't have a huge problem with collateral damage.
Where do you draw the line between disciplining a child and child abuse?
FWIW, I train my dogs using operant conditioning and never have to beat them...scolding is enough. Positive reinforcement is better.
I was spanked a lot as a child; both at school and at home. It was a less sophisticated time. While I strongly support disciplining children, that doesn't mean violently beating them as Trumpers often suggest.

What Is Operant Conditioning?
How Reinforcement and Punishment Modify Behavior
A matter of opinion. Define "creampuff". Spoiled? Self-entitled? Selfish? Only thinks of themselves even to the detriment of others?I'm not sure how to assess this.
I was never hit, and I never hit my kids.
It didn't make me a creampuff. I chose boxing over school team sports.
It didn't make my kids creampuffs. My daughter is a cop.
My son tried boxing but was disqualified for a low blow in his first and last match.
It was at Salem State College in Salem, MA, home of the witch trials [we don't have a pristine past either].
The arena was packed, and the novice matches were very early on the card.
He almost started a riot, and we got out of there in a hurry.
At that point, he decided that baseball was his sport.

WWJD?
I was only thinking of being shy of confrontation, verbal or physical.
I've been accused of all of the other things you mention, although I see all of them as universal attributes of human character.
That's why I'm not a libertarian. I feel that we make better social decisions collectively than we do individually.
That's why the collective national IQ of this country scares me so much.
We fuck up collectively almost as badly.
It's just one way of looking at things.
That's your take, Oom.
My take is that I hate child abusing crackers. and hitting kids is definitely a part of their depraved, backwater culture.
WWDDD?
Smash report like the snitching little pussy bitchman that he is!
That's not a 12b though, y'all.
The Insurrectionists weren't creampuffs by your definition. Is that a good thing?
Thanks for agreeing the Insurrectionists, like you, aren't Creampuffs.Creampuffs are creampuffs and assholes are assholes.
They can certainly overlap, but they don't have to.
As for the rest, you know my views and have commented on them in the past.
We are what we are.
We didn't get to draw our own blueprints.
If you attribute less influence to genetics, than naturally, you will see things differently.
I get that as well.
Self-actualized people accept their limitations and seek their goals in spite of them.
Likely, but my perception is that the goals are just as baked in as the capabilities and limitations.
I don't present this as proven science, of course, but I don't believe that it's been disproven, either.
In any case, I need a donut.
It's my fallback move whenever further thought requires more energy than I have available at the moment.
