Yep.

Because he's black?

"Equating spanking to affection isn't logical, at all."

Luckily I had the transcript handy to not help me understand anything at all.

I see, it's not violence that you don't understand the meaning of, it's spanking. I've never intended to hurt or damage my children when I spank them and I don't know a single person who spanks their children with an intent to harm them. The point is to HELP THEM. You can understand that concept of temporary pain…

You might think spanking is a form of violence, but the truth is independent of your thought. Violence is using physical force to harm or injure. Spanking is using physical contact to discipline. They're not the same, but our society keeps trying to make them the same.

good stuff

You used spanking and violence synonymously. That's the problem. It's like saying that I totally get when you resort to walking away out of frustration, but when it's a regular pattern of abandoning your child, you need help. Resorting to violence is different than spanking.

"I have little patience and lose it but that just causes me to yell really loud at them. I rarely put my hands on them to spank because the look on their faces breaks my heart."

White, upper-middle class father of four... I spank my kids when it's necessary. They know their boundaries and they respect them. Spanking works when it's used for discipline and not as a release for angry parents. Equating spanking to physical abuse is ridiculous. I've seen some people comment that they would…

Because losing your patience with your kids and yelling really loudly is cool?

She'd probably be pissed because IT'S HER CHILD.

I'm a dad of four awesome boys. I know how you feel. I do think it's a big mistake to shake them. Every parent makes mistakes, even the best ones. I mess up every day. Your motivation matters just as much as your action. If you're spanking, or shaking, or yelling because YOU'RE irritated or frustrated, it's a bad…

"The anointing of the holy ghost"... duh

Just out of curiosity... what do your kids say about him? To my little guy, Hugh O'Brien is an evil terror that destroys everyone and everything. He's everywhere and knows everything. I keep trying to tell him that he's just a guy that tries to pick on kids, but that doesn't fly.

Since kids can't read too good and stuff, they call him "hero Brian" because that's what his name sounds like in YouTube videos. My 6 year old has nightmares about him all the time, but he can't stop watching the videos.

What, not even a single mention of Herobrine?? What is wrong with you?

No, no. What he's saying is that he is ashamed of at least one of his past incidents. It was just a double negative. A cunning move to deceive us.

For some perspective.... Riverdale won the state tournament in 2010, 2012, and 2013. They finished second in 2011. It makes it even more bizarre and pathetic that they would intentionally try to lose.
