Watch out guys, we got a badass over here.

Going to the ground to give praise is an exception to the you can't celebrate on the ground rule. When you aren't on the ground you don't need the exception. Otherwise all the dancing and other bullshit would get flagged too.

He wasn't the first or last guy to get a meatball. Sosa got a few from the Latin pitchers during the Sosa/Mac HR chase. Ripken got one in the ASG. Michael Young's effort at 2B on the Chipper Jones ASG hit was less than 100%. Maybe way back in the day Ted Williams got one when he homered in his last AB. It, like…

I don't know you so I can't really help you out here.

I wouldn't say it is your fault as that is too harsh, but your choices are causing these outcomes. You can either complain about it and wait for the world to change or take charge of the situation yourself.

Why would you ever want to associate with someone that would broaden your perspective in any way? You might catch something or accidentally convert!

A little tough love here. You are doing a bad job evaluating men. Not saying there is a "fix" to this, but it isn't just magic that you end up with deadbeats.

You are making false equivalencies. If you confided a stranger to his room that would be kidnapping, but making your kid stay in his room is fine. It is different because there is a different relationship between parents and children and total strangers. It is pretty fucking obvious to anyone who doesn't have their…

Same as the difference between making a kid stay in his room and locking him in a trunk or even a closet. I mean, I get the temptation to equate the two if you are against spanking. But it is different. Things are different when they are different.

I'm about 6'9" on a good day and 245 lb. so that is going to be a big ole boy. I wouldn't have dreamed of hitting my father back or obviously my mother though my parents stopped spanking me by the time I was 13-14 - the fact that you think that way says a lot about you as do your other assumptions.

You are not a very good debater.

That's a good skill. You should thank your parents.

Let's do this another way. If you were arguing that there is a difference between the two, how would you frame your argument? You don't need to believe it, just what would you say if you were assigned that side of a debate?

I think you get to read in prison too.

I'm ok with that view. I'd never suggest that a person has to or even should spank their kid. I think it is a parent's choice and that outside the extremes parents should be allowed to raise their own kids.

How would you respond to the government taking away your kids? If you say anything other than "I've thought about that and I would accept it" then you are a hypocrite.

Ironically enough there are people who feel they can intelligently add to this discussion without understanding the difference between a spanking and abuse.

You realize that an attorney can represent a client in a civil or administrative setting too, right?

If you want to be relevant be interesting. If you can't be interesting then be loud.

Oh you're such a prude.
