...right.

Its called fascism.

Don't forget the little black girl's lips. Her eyes kind of skew in different directions two. You might think the comic has a point but the author is an obvious racist.

Its also interesting that almost nowhere in the media is spanking portrayed. Its interesting because something like 4/5 (american) parents are pro-spanking but our sitcoms, which are sometimes regarded as a measure of 'best practices' in family life, never show spanking. At least not in a positive light.

Thank you, I know its a contentious issue but that's when we need civil discussion the most.
The lower IQs don't seem to fall along coincidence or poverty factors. It seems to occur in every group and class that spanks their kids in similar manners. I does seem like the poor spank more and harder though. Which if these IQ stats are true we especially need show the poor these facts.
Its interesting. They've developed brain scans that can actually peak inside the head and see what kind of abuse was inflicted on a person. (I don't know if you knew this but trauma actually causes physical damage in the brain.) But people that were spanked show the same signs of people we'd say were physically abused. It tends to be less severe but that's likely because the abused tends to be harsher than the spankings.

The problem isn't really with some things needing to be predestined, its about God being omniscient. The argument is "If God knows everything that's going to happen then its set in stone, therefore man can't change it so he had no free will." Its an argument that leaks into a famous argument about the origin of evil--> http://www.religiouscriticism.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/epicurus.jpg

I think its one of those things that just became christian canon. A lot of christian beliefs actually happen like that.

All master wizards as well.

As far as I know wandless magic was a thing, but it was driven by emotional extremes and not controllable. Like with Dudley and the snake. This guy must be a master wizard.

No. No, creative is bad.

I am stating the negative physical contact of any kind is all a degree of child abuse. I'm glad to hear the you haven't spanked your kid and I hope that if you consider spanking you'll look at the research first. There is some pretty convincing studies that show spanked children on average have a 10 point lower IQ, which is huge since IQ is stacks exponentially. Spanked kids tend to be more aggressive and anti social. They have a harder time negotiating with other kids and later as an adult. Its a very important and contentious issue.
Here's one article by the LA times but there are many more. I think you owe it to your kid to give them the best parenting you can and that included determining if spanking is good.

That's not actually an argument. Do you hit your kids? If you don't have any will you if you have them?

You are very welcome.

Hitting is hitting.
