You joke, but I've already heard one dick say, "Lack of discipline is the REAL child abuse!"

Whipping children with switches is not a racial thing. It could be a southern thing. My white parents whipped us with switches 50 years ago, when a belt wasn't available. Mostly it is a low-class, ignorant, inexcusable thing done by people who should not have children. I don't care what happened to you as a child. There is no excuse for whipping a child.

I've always wished I could deny any knowledge of Roger the Dodger.

Apparently <a href="http:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/hannity-removes-belt-and-smacks-it-on-desk-during-segment-on-peterson\/" target="_blank">Hannity</a> was beaten as a child and look how he turned out.

Is this how republicans are made?

But a good person wouldn't do a bad thing. I'm a good person. Therefore I couldn't have done a bad thing. Therefore the thing that I did isn't bad.

And you just know the kid's screwing up countless fantasy sportsball-kid-beating league teams.

Brain damage can have organic and traumatic causes.

I understand that it is purely sadistic. Not only did the kid have a few additional minutes to contemplate what was coming his way, but there was usually the threat that if the chosen switch broke in the act of beating, the father would cut another switch and beat the child further for choosing an inadequate switch.

I think it would more satisfying to beat as he is right now.... you know ... with votes of course.
