3. I said, in my first monologue about childrearing, that all children are different and that some do not require very many or any spankings, while others do.
There it is, the crack at me, the young-an. Didn't think you would sink that low. I honestly thought you had better respect for me than that.
I actually tried it until my son was 3. It was a disaster. He was immune to simple verbal correction, stone deaf to scoldings, fought time-outs like Mike Tyson and took loss-of-privileges or being ignored for bad behavior as an excuse to trash the house. He was a horrific brat at 3 1/2.... then I started whuppin' that ass... and by the time he was 5 he was a different kid, and a happier one.
Thing is, when done right it works. The two main things are consistency, and showing them twice as much love as you do discipline. But if the discipline just isn't there or isn't working, you get a brat.
It doesn't take a PhD to realize this, just two eyes and a brain and a little experience in the world.
I LIKE you. You've got the chutzpah to get on here and throw your ideas out there to be discussed and criticized; that takes a certain nerve. I've seen you admit when you were wrong - I respect that, it's classy.
that doesn't mean that I'm not going to point out what I consider the fatal flaw in your position: a lack of experience.
Then can I say your fatal flaw is a lack in philosophy?
You know what a book is? Someone's thoughts on something, put into print. You know why it got published? The publishing company thought it would make money. This doesn't always mean the person really knows what they're talking about.
As for philosophy, my philosophy is Christianity. I taught my son the Gospel and the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and "love thy neighbor as thy self." I demonstrated self-sacrificing love for him in everyday life from his babyhood to this day.
Lets think capitalism (free-enterprise), lets also think buying/reading respectable author's books.
I could have a field day with you sir, if you are acceptable to an open mind and are willing to question beliefs.
Well some people refuse to respect author's books.
Oh and don't question beliefs, go to the Philosophy section. It's the only place questioning of religion is allowed. You'll get thread-banned. I've got the scars to prove it.

Not sure what your point is. You think I'd spend good money for books by hack authors?
I'm sure you think you could. Many have tried to trash my beliefs, I'm still here and I'm still a Christian. Contrariwise, I've converted more than one agnostic to Christianity.
This isn't really the right venue for a general discussion on that topic, though.
1. Spank, not beat.
2. That's one example, and we have only your word for it.

I agree, to the philosophy threads!?
Maybe the difference is I was born/raised liberal and you were born/raised conservative.
Where several of the boards', um, "outspoken" atheists would just love a chance to dogpile me and post 10 rebuttals to everything I say, drowning me out with volume and strident mockery no matter how well I speak.
Oddly enough that doesn't sound like much fun, or a very good use of my time. I'm a busy single parent and working man, and I've already spent more time on DP this evening than I can afford to.
OTOH If you'd like to exchange PMs on the subject of Christianity instead, I'd be glad to have a private discussion with you about it.
…I'm not sure I would want you as an attorney.
Had a strange dream last night that Home Depot was having a sale on miniguns. There was a floor model called the "Yellow Jacket" which was painted bright yellow with black detailing and sold for $250.00 (quite a deal).
What does this mean?

Question for the experts:
If you dip your bullet slugs in Paraffin wax, will they penetrate a Kevlar vest?
Saw this yesterday.

Love cold war relics and they're reasonably affordable.
NOt a full auto I assume but a semi auto replica. If the stock actually works then you would need a "short barrel rifle" tax stamp for it though. If it was full auto you'd be paying at least 12K for it
