The new ball is totally stupid.
You are misconstruing what I said. I wouldn't spank a kid for whining, and I certainly wouldn't spank 'em for 5 minutes solid. But disregarding that for the sake of addressing your scenario, the responsibility is on the parent not to lose control, and any normal adult should be able to handle that. When I was a small kid, I was spanked plenty of times for doing something very bad, but neither of my parents ever lost control with it, and it was more effective than what a timeout would have been. Parents who have history of child abuse ought not to be spanking their children, but parents with history of child abuse are not the norm. Normal people are able to maintain control.
Ricky Bobby: This kinda reminds me of that Highlander movie. Jean Girard: What? I never saw that. Ricky Bobby: It was nominated for an academy award. Jean Girard: For what? Ricky Bobby: Best movie made ever.
I voted yes. I believe spanking/corporal punishment is good with limited use. It can emphasize the severity of a transgression in a way that timeout just can't. The parent just has to be careful not to do it too often for too minor things, and also not to hurt the child seriously. Also, let me add: {
I've never thought Sum 41 was very good.
I think that song might be called "Christmas Shoes", and yeah, that is a pretty sad song.
Probably Aladdin, with Lion King and Robin Hood close behind.
I guess it depends what you view as government, and what you think constitutes religion.
Q: How do you keep ******s busy for hours on end? A: Ask them this question, they find it fascinating.

CRAZY TRAIN by OZZY OSBOURNE Crazy,but that's how it goes Millions of people living as foes Maybe it's not too late To learn how to love And forget how to hate Mental wounds not healing Driving me insane I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I've listened to preachers I've listened to fools I've watched all the dropouts Who make their own rules One person conditioned to rule and control The media sells it and you live the role Mental wounds still screaming Driving me insane I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I know that things are going wrong for me You gotta listen to my words Yeah Heirs of a cold war That's what we've become Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb Crazy, I just cannot bear I'm living with something that just isn't fair Mental wounds not healing Who and what's to blame I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

FREEBIRD by LYNYRD SKYNYRD If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be travelling on, now, 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see. But, if I stayed here with you, girl, Things just couldn't be the same. 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you can not change. Lord knows, I can't change. Bye, bye, its been a sweet love. Though this feeling I can't change. But please don't take it badly, 'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame. But, if I stayed here with you girl, Things just couldn't be the same. Cause I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you'll never change. And this bird you can not change. Lord knows, I can't change. Lord help me, I can't change.
MORE THAN A FEELING by BOSTON I looked out this morning and the sun was gone Turned on some music to start my day I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) till I see marianne walk away I see my marianne walkin away So many people have come and gone Their faces fade as the years go by Yet I still recall as I wander on As clear as the sun in the summer sky Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) till I see marianne walk away I see my marianne walkin away When Im tired and thinking cold I hide in my music, forget the day And dream of a girl I used to know I closed my eyes and she slipped away She slipped awa y. she slipped away. Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) till I see marianne walk away I see my marianne walkin away
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN by LED ZEPPELIN There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who stand looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
Not "could just be a lode of crap", "is a load of crap". We have evidence of ancient humans, and they are certainly anything but advanced, both mentally and physically speaking. Certainly not possesing of any nuclear capabilities.
Except that that is ******ed because religion as an institution is older than government as an institution. If anything, it would have been the other way around.
Radiata Stories is terrific, one of my favorite games.
That's not entirely true. Some agnostics believe in a Higher Power, some don't. Most agnostics that I know do, otherwise they would just classify themselves as athiests. The point of agnosticism is that agnostics are skeptical of conventional religions and believe that it is impossible to prove the existence of a Higher Power through human experience or knowledge.
