I love it........you can BEAT your wife and kids as long as you leave no MARKS

[QUOTE=bassin_bug;430237]My personal opinion is the "new guy" was previously on this board and has come back, under the radar, with a new name.[/QUOTE]

I wonder...maybe that new guy might be onto something about this paddlin' a child doin' more harm than good...I mean you know, look at me...my dad use to whip the tar out of me, and now look at me! Just look at me and the shape I'm in, lol...I ain't right!!

Preacher man...is that you?

[QUOTE=Big Gills;430180]Oh Bugsy, he wont answer you. He kept telling us to educate ourselves so I asked him what his education and work experience were and he ran away with his tail between his legs saying he was done with this thread. Figures, eh?:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

I can tell you what he did do after his identity was questioned. He had a picture of himself holding a fish posted on his information page and he removed it. I WONDER WHY?!!!

Dont the bible say to spare the rod will spoil the child? I have worked all my adult life with troubled children who were not disiplined correctally, then they wound up in state care in a juvie treatment center, for crimes like murder, rape, theft, arsom etc. I do not belive in beating anyone, but a little spank never hurt anyone, as far as the IQ thing goes Steve, even though my spelling is bad I have a very high IQ and I was spanked several times whne I was a child. When I was in school teachers had the right to spank and the classrooms were more controlled then than now, but now they jus give them ridlen to control them. I do live in the real world and see it every day as I am a social worker.

I just clicked on there, and the picture was still there. Also, I am pretty sure that the "new guy" is not any of previous posters that have left or banned in the past.

Just for the record, I went back and re-read everything that was posted on here, and never did he attack anyones intellect - that was brought up by others, he just used the phrase "narrow minded." Bassin Bug - you are the one that brought up credentials/intellect, he did not.

[QUOTE=SteveM4A1;430035]Yes I'm so idealistic and just love everyone...world peace!!...and I skip around trees smelling the flowers lol...

But more seriously, no I do NOT approve of this. I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear in my original thread. I thought I was making myself clear that hitting a child, even spanking, is completely wrong and in our society spanking is seen as ok. It is disgusting, yet most individuals do it. Don't bash an entire religion because of a ruling that has similarities with our OWN culture. Now, I would hope that we all share in the fact that beating a woman is wrong, and deserves to have a baseball bat beaten through his skull.

Now I don't care about whether you are being PC or not. You don't think I have that same hatred for those individuals responsible for those attacks and future attacks? One of my good friends throughout my childhood moved to the outskirts of the city and his father was killed in the towers, so don't try and preach me about hatred about those events and all events that have followed. But I am smart enough to realize that it is not the doing of the vast majority of that religion. Like I said, EDUCATE yourself. It wasn't that long ago when we as a nation did not treat our most vulnerable members very well. We changed and so can they.

Back to the topic more specifically...remind me on my next vacation planning to not go to the UAE..didn't they imprison a couple for kissing in public? I'm glad we have some resemblence of separation between faith and government.[/QUOTE]
im sorry, but spanking is disgusting? and it lowers IQ? wow,what book have you been reading? if thats true, then i wouldnt have enough motor skills to take a leak. sorry dude, but people like you are why kids are complete lack of respect idiots these days. my kid has had her butt busted since she was about 1 1/2 or 2. shes a little over 4 now and hasnt really got one for about a year. she now knows where the line is and not to cross it. and if she does get out of line or backtalk,all i have to do is look at her and she is instantly cured...i dont understand people like you. let me guess,you probably believe in the whole 'time out' thing. wish that was around when i was a kid, id have done a whole hell of lot more wrong than i did!

You are just trained to do what you were taught, you were spanked and you spank your children. Not saying anything is wrong with it but there are other ways to get your point across. IMO and only mine a 1 1/2 to 2 yro is supposed to get into everything, after all they are exploring and learning at that age.

WRONG! His PROFILE picture is not there, I just checked. His AVATAR picture is there with his back to the camera. He had posted a PROFILE picture of himself/someone facing the camera holding a bass. He was either wearing his cap backwards or had a rag on his head. Do you not know the difference between an avatar and a profile picture?

I did not bring up credentials/intellect, Big Gills asked about his credentials and it was her right to do so. My quote to him was, "And your qualifications are......?" I never accused him of attacking me. He is the one who said that spanking lowered the IQ of children and I wanted to know what qualified him to make that assessment.

If you feel self-anointed to critique everyone's posts, at least begin with your own and get your facts straight.

Sorry, I just clicked on the profile - saw the same pic I always have. It was his profile pic you described, yes I know the difference

The reason I brought that up, is it is not the first time I remember you listing out you accomplishments, education, and degrees on here in defense of some argument you were defending, nor is it the first time I have seen you accuse someone on here being a former banned member. Actually the first doesn't bother me - I would be proud of a Ph D. in clinical psychology, and I would mention it as well. I respect your level of education, and I can see how that was relevant to this discussion - but you offered no professional insight to the discussion other than stating your degree and qualifications.

However, not all people that share different views from you or others on here, are the ones that got themselves banned- so please don't lump us all in the same category.

[QUOTE=Devils Horse;430169]You are something else man.

I take it from your post you're an Oracle DBA. Question is do you do your thing from the command line, or use the GUI tools? I've heard real men use the CLI only.[/QUOTE]

SQL Server, DB2 UDB and DB2 Connect DBA here......

Also supported IDMS and DB2 Z/OS in my previous life.
