Shifty Pony: Dec 28, 2004; Up ta somethin'

some people on reddit are :tinfoil:

-ing that the cause of the mtgox delays are coinbase using the mtgox-btce spread to make money. quote at btce prices, sell on mtgox, have JP intermediary cash out, and mtgox's systems are unable to handle the extra btc transfer load. i'm not sure i buy it because wouldn't mtgox's volume spike then?

Homeschooling only serves one purpose, it allows creepy parents control the information and influences their children are subjected to.
It relies on the assumptions that social interaction with peers is unnecessary and that the parents know better than professional teachers and the people who design the common curriculum.

quote:

The book advises parents to use objects like a quarter-inch plumbing tube to spank children and "break their will". It also mentions withholding food and putting children under a cold garden hose.[1][9]

The content of Pearl's book has been cited as advocating child abuse and its teachings were linked to the deaths of Sean Paddock,[10] Lydia Schatz,[11] and Hana Grace-Rose Williams.[12] In all three cases the parents were homeschooling their children and are believed to have read Pearl's book.[13] Michael Ramsey, a Butte County, California District Attorney who prosecuted the Schatz case, investigated the Pearls' teachings and called To Train Up A Child, "an extraordinarily dangerous book for those who take it literally." "It's truly an evil book," he said.[14] Dr. Frances Chalmers, the pediatrician who examined Hana's death, said �My fear is that this book, while perhaps well intended, could easily be misinterpreted and could lead to what I consider significant abuse.� [5]

The parents of Hana Grace-Rose Williams, Larry and Carri Williams, were found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to 28 and 37 years in jail, respectively. [15]

quote:

Some of the discipline techniques the Pearls teach include:

Using plastic plumbing tubing to beat children

Wearing the plastic tubing around the parent's neck as a constant reminder to obey

"Swatting" babies as young as six months old with instruments such as "a 12-inch willowy branch," thinner plastic tubing or a wooden spoon

"Blanket training" babies by hitting them with an instrument if they try to crawl off a blanket on the floor

Beating older children with rulers, paddles, belts and larger tree branches

"Training" children with pain before they even disobey, in order to teach total obedience

Giving cold water baths, putting children outside in cold weather and withholding meals as discipline

Hosing off children who have potty training accidents

Inflicting punishment until a child is "without breath to complain"

Michael Pearl tells one mother on his website, "I could break his anger in two days. He would be too scared to get angry. On the third day he would draw into a quiet shell and obey."

Despite Pearl's claim that plumbing line is too light to cause damage to muscle or bone, it caused the death of seven year-old Lydia Schatz in 2010. Officials ruled that she died of severe tissue damage.

The Pearls and their ministry, No Greater Joy, make an estimated $1.7 million a year.

also homeschooling for sane people involves a group effort so theres a lot more social interaction than what the crazies do
