My four year old spent 20 minutes peeling paper wrappers off crayons yesterday.

The birth mom was just 16 when she gave birth and I’m sure that was part of the low settlement. She would have been 18 when she got the check.

I think if you read the words of the Democrats coming out of that meeting, it’s clear now that it probably was malicious on Comey’s part. Up til now Dems were working under the assumption that he was a “good man in over his head.” That seems to be dead, now.

So we on the left are the patriots now and they’re the commie-loving traitors, right? Russia has taken over without firing a single shot and we are now a banana republic, being ruled by a puppet government. I can not comprehend what’s happening, I just can’t.

Well sure they raped her, but she caused them “sustained shame, mortification and hurt feelings” and I think we can all agree that there’s no more heinous crime than making a man feel even remotely uncomfortable for even a second!

Yeah, it literally is hitting. If you are a person who spanks your child (open hand, closed hand, belt, slipper, whatever) you are a person who hits your child.

I have been both spanked and abused. There was a difference between the two. Neither served to correct my perceived infraction. While I don’t consider light spanking child abuse I don’t think it should be used, partly because it is ineffective, partly because it teaches violence is how to solve problems, partly…

I agree 100%. This is a constant point of contention between my husband and me. We were both spanked as children, but for me I can tell you the two times I was spanked as a kid and what I did that got me spanked. He was spanked as a regular form of punishment. He always told me he was on the same page with me in terms…

“We use it now when my school-aged son is outright refusing to discuss or correct his misbehavior and has closed off all other avenues of correction.”

How about we just don’t hit people.

“open hand spanking” = hitting

My parents spanked me, and look how my life turned out; I’m commenting from the grays at Jezebel. Parents, never spank your kids.

Isn’t that the point of having children though? To take out your vindictive rage on the helpless? Read your bible.

It might be permissible hitting, in your view, but spanking is definitely hitting.

The video ... ends with the girl hanging from the tree for around 20 minutes as the sun sets, while a woman off-camera can be heard calling her name.

Oh Jesus no kidding, right? I lost it watching Joe trying to not lose it. The love and respect between Obama and Biden is amazing. I doubt America has ever seen anything like it in a president and vice president, and doubt we’ll ever see it again. We’ve been blessed.

I don’t think it should. I’m just pointing out the flaws in my own behaviour with family and friends which perpetuate the problem.

I mostly object to the shirt because it seems like just a succinct way of saying “I know the world is, like, bad and stuff, but the MOST important thing is not making the world better, it’s ME and affirming that I’m a Good Person and don’t bear any personal responsibility for how bad the world is.”
