This discussion seems to be a lot different than the one about Ray Rice, in that there are a fair number of people, who defend what AP did, or say "he got a little carried away", as though he spent more than he meant to at the grocery store that week. It seems likely to me that you are right about the problem or…
The least of his sins at this point but technically this is EXACTLY what God meant by "taking my name in vain."
actually, i think the definition of child abuse does include violence to children and corporal punishment. In addition, while i don't concur that child abuse is defined as serial actions, there are reports circulating that this may indeed be a repetitive action on his part. By some accounts, he allegedly "switched"…
Spanking and beating a child aren't the same, no matter what the weird people you know who beat children try to tell you.
Beating a child until he bleeds his child abuse in every sense of the word.
"if his son had broken bones or a black eye than maybe you could say that, but the pictures show minor scrapes, nothing that would indicate AP purposefully going out of his way to inflict serious damage on his son"
How do foster homes have anything to do with this?
"there's absolutely not a smidgen of doubt in my mind that AP will get off without a charge"
You people just don't understand, it's a black thing. Well, technically a black and blue thing.
This argument of, well that's how I was brought up is bullshit. I was brought up being hit with whatever was in the near vicinity. Along with being beat, I was sexually abused and guess what? I don't think that's the right way to be. Just because you were brought up in a shitty manner, does not mean that you…
To be fair to the Bible, that isn't a Bible verse (though it nods to a couple phrases from different places in the Bible). Say what you will about the Bible, but it generally does not advise that a person should be a raving narcissist/egomaniac, which as near as I can tell is the message of this here "insta-quote."
Co-signed,
I believe you did each of these things one time. And your spouse stopped you from fucking woth the kids again and the network didn't invite you back. But cool story bro.
Yeah, this is the crucial part. This is the PR equivalent of shouting "FIX YOUR SHIT!"
I've seen this play out a thousand times before. You're doing awesome and everything in life is going in your favor and then BAM! you wake up hammered drunk on your neighbors front lawn and your sponsor is all like "you can't keep doing this to yourself you have a serious problem" and then you lose your sponsor and he…
"I'm living proof that it works."
If your 3-year old understood your explanation for the punishment, why don't you just tell her what she did is wrong without the spanking? Your argument seems to be that your child is smart enough to process the explanation for being punished like that but not smart enough to understand it without the punishing. You…
"Every once in a while, a spanking is necessary."
