so.But im closer to the new generation. WOW. Its a fact.
What do you mean since when? Read a basic statistics book.
People are jumping to conclusions, though the fault is likely that of CNN (or whatever news agency reported it). Here is what this study says
"There appears to be a correlation between spanking and antisocial behavior."
In no way can causation be infered from this.
All an observational study does, and ever will do, is determine the need for further investigation; investigation meaning experimentation.
Yes, the anti-spanking crowd has shown that there appears to be a correlation between spanking and anti-social behavior. They have shown that there is causation. There may be experiments about this, but I have certainly never heard of any.
I need not say any more.
Not necessarily. Lots of things can be correlated to each other, it does not mean that they are directly related. It may be common response.You have a point, but I think you are extrapolating too far. Just because correlation does not automatically imply causation, does not mean that it *doesn't* lead to the implication. That is, establishing the correlation removes evidence that spankings and antisocial behavior are not connected.
That is one way, but there are too many variables to account for. Thats why experiments are vastly preferred.Besides, if it is just a correlation and nothing more, more thorough studies would need to implement statistical blocking to determine whether another factor is causing the antisocial behavior.
Outside factors always exist in a social study. Even in experiments. Thats why I think making a claim for one side or the other is flawed.Such behavior *is* occurring, and the spankings *are* being administered to the children that are more likely to become antisocial; it is simply a matter of whether such an outside factor exists.
So you agree with me then.In short, neither stance is proven by the study, but the scales clearly lean in favor of the anti-spanking position.
But im closer to the new generation. WOW. Its a fact.
Anecdotal evidence shows nothing.If you think about it, my point is worth more. I am a child, i am hte one being spanked, so i know what it feels like and how to react, and how others react. I am of the younger generation
OMFG. If that shirt is supposed to be a joke, it BADLY misfired.
And let's just say it had damn well better be nothing more than a lame joke, because I won't mince words with the fool who wears it with pride.
calm down buddy, it's from The Best Page In The Universe.. It's a completely satirical website
I would ignore the law if they made it illegal. If my kid severely disrespects me he's going to be punished.

I'm not real big on "time outs". I'm not into beating a child...but I have no problem with spanking. I just don't think it should be outlawed.
