I saw this at my university as well. I knew it was really bad when the whole business school bought shirts that said "We $ [school name]"

sometimes I think they'd punch people in the face if it would make their shares go up.

I always thought the Heart Scale was a scale that fell off a Gyarados and that's why they were so rare

We can't get along because one uses science and the other uses faith. It's oil and water. Until people accept that there isn't someone in the sky making everything, there will always be a battle.

Think of all the fundies whose heads are gonna explode over this...

And he killed that respect by being a Whiny McDramaqueen on Twitter instead realizing he still means something to the industry and should salvage himself.

You can google what I'm saying, it's common knowledge. Seriously, google "dog mentality" and there's a special Google selected answer saying 2-3 years old. I don't really feel like arguing every single point with you because you've already decided that dogs aren't people — which no one was arguing to begin with — and…

Actually, no. That's one of the things that irritated me working where I did — "Let your dog sit on the floor" "I can't put my baby on the floor!" — but I would consider them my animal friends, if anything. The "it's my baby!" thing is very hard to get out of people, and with some of my older clientele I would make…

"Now you can ruin more friendships faster!"

don't blame 'em. it's the best gif I've ever seen. I can hear his little Toady voice going "ahhhhhhh!!" xD

sorry, i meant the colloquial you, not you in particular.

A dog has about a 2-3.5 year old mentality. Kids this age get spanked. This is why it's relevant - if a dog doesn't get it, you're child will not be able to make the leap from action —> you hitting them as a consequence. They just cannot make the connection yet mentally. You get more flies with honey than vinegar, and…

It doesn't even matter if it even DID work, you are justifying violence against your own child, no matter how soft or how hard or how long or with what. I don't hit adults when they misbehave or act like dicks; why is it ok to hit the most defenseless of us all?

"because we had obviously done something to be mad about/get spanked for"

looks like one of those people is already in this thread

THANK YOU

If you're hitting your child — on the arm, leg, butt, face, chest — anywhere in any way with whatever justification you have, it's still would be assault just like it would be for an adult. Show me a child that's been spanked and I'll show you a scared child who wants it to stop. I did dog training for a major company…

thats absolutely terrible.

I'm baffled that there are different attitudes about it. Are we seriously talking about whether or not hitting your CHILD is ok? You hit an adult, you go to jail/get fined. You hit a kids? wellllll I mean....
