-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.

on a side note, i love how hostile everyone gets when a particular view doesn't fit their own. they turn to you have a lower IQ, you're a democrat (which is funny), etc...can you have a CIVIL conversation about a topic without getting angry and jump to such actions? geez...

LMAO are you serious? Who in this thread brought up narrow minded and open minded in this thread first?

[mhall]

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?

Never drank one but would love to have my first one solving the world's problems with ya. Sounds good to me.

[bassin_bug]

hahaha yes I am a retard and you are clearly smarter about these things. It just amazes me the things people will say without ever thinking, "Wow, maybe I am wrong and should do some research on this?"..by responding in that way, you perfectly prove my point of being narrow minded.

And your qualifications are.......?

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.

Why do libs hate Fox News so much? Are they threatened by balanced reporting?

Surely this was written sarcastically - you cannot be serious. I agree that a great deal of the media is slanted to the left. No liberal network has near the biased reporting, shows, or overall programming as Fox News. It was originally intended to be THE "fair and balanced" news program in the 90's when it started, but during the Bush years, and especially since Obama's tenure it has veered more and more to the conservative side, and now is THE most biased news program. Even employees of FOX news have recently admitted this, Including Bill O'Reily who admitted it is no longer a fair and balanced news program with an obvious bias towards the conservative agenda.

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?

Media 'outlets' such as MSNBC are so biased nobody except far lefters even watch it. For goodness sake their main oracle of knowledge is Keith freaking Olberman, the poster child of the progressive left.

CNN stacks all their panels with Dems and their news reporting is MUCH further left than Fox is right. It's not necessarily CNN's reporting is biased so much as what they choose to report. They chronically ignore or downplay any story damaging of the left, particularly those about our President.

No sarcasm intended by me...show me where O'Reilly admitted any such thing. With the exception of Hannity, at least Fox makes an effort to be fair. Tell me with a straight face MSNBC does the same.

Americans ain't buying the drivel we've been spoon fed for decades by the likes of CNN anymore. That's why Fox News has better ratings than all the other uh 'news' networks combined, including CNN.

I read a study on CNN vs. Fox in terms of guests on shows. It was something like FOX news had over 85% of their guests representing the conservative agenda compared to CNN's 40% - I will try to dig that study up - of course it was probably a biased study.

As far as O'Reily - I couldn't find the exact clip on youtube, but it is there I have seen it. Here is an article talking about it. It was a fairly recent interview.

For the record, I don't watch MSNBS either - just as much dribble as Fox news IMO.

My personal opinion is the "new guy" was previously on this board and has come back, under the radar, with a new name. He sure has some communication patterns that are similar to someone from the not too distant past. If this is the same person, I remember that if anyone disagreed with him he would notify the moderator that someone had insulted him or called him a name.
