That quotation is saying that Native Americans largely did not practice corporal punishment against their children before Europeans arrived. 

Why the hell do people tolerate your sister’s physical abuse at the office?  I bet her colleagues are very happy to be working from home to get away from her. 

Oh, I see.  I confused you with another poster who said that her sister is a fifty year old attorney who hits her colleagues when they disagree.  How the hell does she get away with that? 

I am a teacher.  What last line are you referring to? 

In the past I was treated in horrifying ways by students. And no, corporal punishment is not the only punishment I can think of.

Well, what do you think that mom should do when I call home to tell her about that? 

A lot of parents quoted in this article are saying, “My parents hit me when I behaved poorly, and I deserved it.” Yeah, I can see that being true in a lot of cases. 

I did say that taking away the cellphone etc is often an effective punishment, so no, corporal punishment is not the only punishment I can conjure up.

What are some behaviors which would have resulted in the wooden spoon? 

I don’t think punishment has to necessarily breed deep-seated resentment. Many parents quoted in this article say, “My parents hit me, but I deserved it.” Yeah, I can totally understand that.

How should parents address their children’s poor behavior?

“doctors going through menopause are cutting back on hours or even retiring from medicine entirely due to the sexism and ageism they’ve experienced in hospitals.”

Disney spent $200 million on this, and then the pandemic hit. I think they should have a fighting chance to recoup their money. And yeah, those who won’t pay have the option of waiting.

For years, even decades, people have been telling me that I look like Ritchie Valens. I DO NOT!!! And it really confused me for a while. Over time, I realized they really meant that I look like Lou Diamond Phillips who portrayed him in La Bamba.

1. Yes, I constantly hear and read women complaining about men not listening to them on dates, only wanting to talk about themselves, and not asking the woman questions on dates. I think a lot of those men are just in the mindset that they have to impress the woman, because a lot of women will…

I am not paying that dating coach any money. But I must admit I am curious about his methods and success rate. He might be like a personal trainer for fitness. Do they really DO anything? I think they really just hold people accountable.

I am not paying him. However, I must admit I am curious about his methods and results.

I don’t talk about these things while on a date. And frankly, yes while on dates, women are very likely to tell me about this or that dirtbag guy from her past. I wonder why. Frankly, I think it is because women are less likely to be worried about getting a second date so they are more at liberty to say or not say…

I do not tell women I want a relationship on a first date.
