I dunno.. Kel Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 02:49:50 PM
I can see how spanking a child that isn't old enough to understand why they're being spanked is a waste of time, and that spanking may not always be the best tool for the job. But, I guess i'm failing to see how this study comes to any conclusions, other than what it appears the researchers (and the story's author) wanted it to come to in the first place.

I do believe this study was created to prove the point, not test it. - 26/09/2009 03:25:54 PM 795 Views
What are your grounds for that belief? - 26/09/2009 04:11:37 PM 803 Views

Clearly that's why all of our old people are so stupid. - 26/09/2009 04:09:52 PM 760 Views
No, no, that's just nossy bringing down the average. *NM* - 26/09/2009 04:12:10 PM 364 Views
