Lesson for the day: saying, "Fuck her right in the pussy," isn't ok, but actually doing it without her consent is.

I'm a parent. I spanked my daughter once in exactly the same circumstances that Drew describes - I couldn't figure out any other way to get her to calm down. It did not make her calm down. It made her feel shitty and it made me feel shitty. Claiming that the only way to "keep her off the pole" (really great goal…

He does have a point, although it's an ignorant one. Saying Anheuser - Busch is somehow out of line for issuing a statement against domestic violence is like saying Ford and Verizon can't issue statements against texting and driving. A company designs a product; its up to you whether you want to use and abuse that…

People knew it was Winston when they noticed that nearby FSU campus police were looking the other way.

when I think science I think informal and anecdotal evidence. I can name 10 people who smoke and don't have lung cancer. Heck. I asked all my neighbors who they were voting for and they said Romney. That's how I know Obama cheated. Your peer reviewed studies are worthless!

it's actually both. Between absentee and abusive fathers you are covering most of the sex workers in this country. Not all, but most. Also, it's possible to be both. Smack the kid around for a few years then leave is a pretty common fathering tactic.

You reap what you sow. Fuck all the assholes who beat their kids and the apologists who support them. My dad once whipped me with rope for breaking a window. That's the last thing I wasnt for my kids. If that makes me a pussy, then so be it.

Yes, but they're getting time off for good behavior...

Any dog trainer worth his or her salt will tell you immediately that 1) choke chains don't work 2) most people don't know how to use them properly (not that they should use them at all) and 3) they WILL cause damage to a dog's trachea.

Yes, your comments are definitely living proof of, uh, something. Thanks for stopping by!

ironically enough female strippers have a higher than normal rate of physically abusive fathers.

Shit, I don't beat my kids but I need all the advice I can get. Please do tell me how to raise my kids because the little fuckers didn't come with a user's manual.

Bravo, Drew. And to all the people out there using the "My parents beat me, and I turned out fine!" line of thinking, here's a thought: Maybe you didn't turn out fine. If you are willing to beat up a little kid just because your parents hit you, you probably haven't turned out fine.

You clearly didn't read the article where he says he has kids, or do a quick Google search to see he has three kids and has written a (non-tutorial/preachy) book about being a father.

I've started to notice the people that say "Don't tell me how to raise my kids!" are the exact people that need to be told how to raise their kids.

I'm no legal scholar, but I think this means he gets to play a doubleheader on Sunday.

My guess is most of the people just read the headline but didn't read the story. My guess too is that they then go on message boards to brag about how much their parents punished them.

Yours is the unpopular opinion because beating a child bloody with a fucking stick is barbaric. Idiot.

No. The Constitution guarantees "due process" before the government deprives you of something. Sending him to jail without a trial would demean due process. But the Minnesota Vikings don't owe him the benefit of the doubt, and neither do you and neither do I. And — as I mentioned in a different post earlier today…

"I caused an injury I never intended."
