Obviously there are some exaggerations but none the less, much of it is built on truth. Interpret it in your own way.

A bunch of these are very exaggerated.

No kidding. I would like Alex Jones more if he wasn't so sensationalistic.

That list has been floating around the web in fwds for a while tbh.

 

[False Joe]

They're hilariously exaggerated.

1957: A child is born, lives a fucking lovely healthy live, all is well in the world, and he goes on to make millions and live the american dream. WOO.
2009: HE IS BORN AND KILLS PEOPLE AND IS ARRESTED AND STUFF EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T DO IT. FEAR LIFE.

Stupid. All but maybe two are ridiculously exxaggerated. Lock thread.

Despite my disagreement with some things in that post, I do believe that the way society handles things sometimes is stupid.

But I don't agree with the whole "spare the rod, spoil the child" thing. There are other ways to discipline our children.

Not ones that work. Spanking and beating are two different things, and loving spanking works.

Spanking has been PROVEN to not be an effective means of punishment.

It might stop the behavior at the moment, but it is basically breeds a "Hey I can just take the spanking and do what I want to do anyways" thought process in the child.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Mmmmmmm spanking.

Spanking works until the child hits the age of 8-11, then it doesn't work. But before then, it definitely does.

Proof enough for me as far as it NOT working goes.
