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

[Big Gills]

I love how idealistic you are as I was like that when I first came out of university. The world was a beautiful place full of loving people and if I was Christian to all they would love me back. WRONG> I learnt the hard way life is not that way all the time.

If you are referring to my post, YES I am not politically correct and say what is on my mind. I learnt that through life also. I hate with a passion terrorists of any faith and am especially hateful of the bid laden followers for Sept 11th attacks on America, 2 major attempts on Canada that were stopped and bombings in England, Spain, Africa to name a few.

However, I am referring here to the topic of this thread which is violence approved by Islam against women and children. Do you approve of this? You say it is ridiculous but that is a complete understatement of how these women and children are treated like dirt in Islam. Maybe not over in North America but in their own countries. I saw tv footage of the Taliban beating women in public with lead pipes. I was appauled and shocked by this.

A wise man once said " A society is ultimately judged by how it treats its weakest most vulnerable members"

So how will Islam be judged by how they treat women and children.

Islam can kiss my rear, sorry that's how I feel folks!

Big Gills, I didn't mean to sound ''Fresh'' in that post, I simply meant what I said in a purely friendship manner. Just wanted to clarify, that maybe you were offended or caught off guard by how my psot sounded.

No my dear friend I was not offended infact I take it as a great compliment. Its great when we find others who we think the same as we do. We would have tons to discuss. Heck no I didnt take it as fresh as all. Remember I worked in a prison for 7 years with mostly men and I have heard everything. You were very nice and it made me smile when you said it. I had to take my mother out to run errands and supper so I didnt have time to respond. Just got home and reading it now. Dont forget chilled Molson Canadian, eh?

-If getting spanked lowers the IQ, I have no idea why I can spell my name let alone run Oracle Databases. I gues that's why I selcted "BOB", spells the same forward or backwards.

- If getting spanked causes "brain damage", them me thinks someone was born with their head mounted on the wrong end.

- If being physically disciplined makes a person dumb, I'm glad I was not a Marine, Navy Seal, or Ranger, or Special Forces guy. I bet those guys may have a slightly different opinion and I'd be sure I had a couple witnesses and a lawyer present if they "offer to explain it to you".

-Define "beating". It appears to imply multiple and continuous strikes, impacts, or clubbings. So if I get dropped outright with a single swing of a cast iron firying pan, I suppose I don't qualify as "beaten". Dropped cold .......yes!

-Strange, as I get older, I'm kinda missing the opportunity for a good spanking. Sounds kinda like fun.

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.
