Originally posted by C'jais Spanking can indeed be an effective way to discipline a child. So can trust and love. It's possible to fail when there are so many outside influences. I too wish it could work that way too, but I know people on whom it...  [Read More]

If punishment is repeated, its effect will deter. The punishment need not be repeated if the reason is not repeated. And no, sadly, I know from experience that parents often get away with even kicking a kid if it is a single experience and not rep...  [Read More]

There are ways of hitting too. "Hitting" doesn't necessarily mean "kicking" or "whipping". Maybe I'm wrong, but from as much knowledge as I do happen to have, the dog isn't as smart as the human, even a child. Perhaps i...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Crazy_dog no.3 I'd say (from a Christian POV) that God created the world and everything on it, but no-were does it say that he didn't create more than 1 world. Nor does it say that he did create more than one world?...  [Read More]

Well, speaking from a solely scientific point of view, then your theory that it is unlikely that only 1/100B has life, is plausible. But if you factor in the fact that God created everything (which I partially believe in) then he just might have wan...  [Read More]

The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley is an interesting read. Although his ideas are a bit extreme, he's a vastly misunderstood man. I quite enjoyed the book. (Trust me though, I didn't read it voluntarily...school obligation) :p...  [Read More]

I just want to make a comment, and that's all. Not on your opinion, Eagle, but on Bigots. Now, I may only speak from a US citizen point of view, or from a Californian point of view, or merely from a Bay Arean point of view, but I'll say it. Racism i...  [Read More]
