no,you missed my point. when i asked why it was ok to hit a child but not an adult,i wanted you to see how ridiculous it is to hit the most defenseless of us human beings and it not be a crime to do so. nevertheless,i disagree with your stance on what i consider to be child abuse.

Omfg. Hitting a tantruming child? A kid's already emotionally dysregulated, clearly in a very bad state, and you hit her? I can't even.

Also, to my knowledge there is no science to support this theory. This is just a rationalization of a bad choice.

I don't have children (I'm 29), but I taught intensive preschool for years. These are classrooms of about 12 children ages four to eight with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, and profound behavioral problems often including violence. If I can handle that classroom for six hours without once raising my…

but,if you did that to a grown up,you'd face charges,right? why is it ok to hit a child but not an adult? I don't think that hitting or yelling at a child is necessary when you can teach by good example.

You don't have to use harsh words to discipline a child. My parent never hit my sister or me and rarely ever raised their voices. They were firm, calm, and consistent.

Rainbow chard:

What the actual fuck is up with feminists trying to justify physical and emotional abuse when it's parents spanking and yelling at their children? On a website that feels comfortable telling men they're creepers if they try to have a conversation with you even if you you're wearing headphones?

But you shouldn't yell at or spank an upset toddler. Also not effective.

So, a plane collides with another and you just survived the jump.... I can't be the only one whose first idea at that point is not to stand two steps off the runway alongside where that crippled bird is trying to land as a cheerleader.

Never underestimate the ability of old white men to marginalize everyone else who isn't one.

Dark in morning, sun at night = daylight saving time. Sun in morning, dark at night = standard time.

I went as a less 90's version of Cheetara from the Thundercats. Everyone knows she's BFF with Mystique and Hellboy :D

Call me when they have Photshop 3D live and can carve my fat ass down to that in 10 seconds for real. I need that in my life.

Every single one of those ladies is doin' it wrong. I divert your attention to the only debutante the 'verse needs:

This is surprising to me - the evidence I have is entirely anecdotal, of course, but those individuals I know that have met him (typically at cons) have said that he is an absolute sweetheart, really chill, respectful, and funny.
Then again, I've never met him and when he is at a con he is representing himself directly…

I think the cut of it is making her look a little stumpy, but hell, she's Alfre Woodard—she's the best damn stump around.

Personally. Twice even. Perhaps even three times, just to make damned sure.

Ew, those flaps would be grotty after a block's walking.

You made the right choice. I hate that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" mantra because no, sorry, ice cream tastes better than thin feels. And pizza. And egg and cheese bagel sandwiches.
