Jesus, some of you guys automatically assume that spanking a kid means literally beating them till they are bruised and bloody. I would like to see an article that proves a swat on the butt that stings for 10 seconds cause PTSD. Also what do you do when your kid throws a temper tantrum in a supermarket? Do you grab them and use physical force to remove them or do you keep letting them act like little shits?

Well judging from my last whiny kid in a grocery store experience you let the kid scream and yell about being in the children's seat in the cart and ignore his repeated attempts at climbing out until he tumbles onto the ground and splits his head open on the tile.

Of course she does, though even I was surprised at first to see her in shorts. How dare she wear shorts on a holiday in the middle of summer as they were heading off to hike. You never saw Jackie Kennedy wearing anything less than a designer dress every minute of the day - even on holidays. Except, you know, when she did : Hell She's not even wearing shoes here.

People who advocate for spanking in all those memes are talking about a single tap of the butt to emphasize their point. A swat on the butt is not corporal punishment in the sense most people are talking about, that's more like when you smack a baby's hand when they're going near an electrical outlet. The purpose isn't to inflict pain as punishment, in fact it's not to inflict pain at all, it's just to emphasize the seriousness of the point. Regular spanking means inflicting pain as punishment.

Bolding the wrong here. Physical discipline can make you a poo poo parent... you can also be a ignorant or misled good parent. One thing does not a bad parent make. My dad spanked me twice as a kid... he was a great dad in every other sense of the word. My parents divorced and he would drop everything to help me out. He got me out of jail when I was 13 and did a dumb kid thing (vandalized a house under construction). He financially supported me, he made time for anything I wanted, and on and on. I don't think two spankings compromise him being a "great parent." He grew up with spankings and he thought that was just what you did after everything else failed to work. Physical discipline is bad. Everything indicates that. Doing one bad thing doesn't make you a bad parent - if it did there would be no good parents.

So I got a couple of gems from an old teacher of mine who's pretty conservative (Social Fixer called her "Fred," but she is a woman). I was pretty proud of my first response: Also, I have to laugh at the fact that Abel is misspelled. But this other one... I don't know, I saw it was from Heritage and I sort of glazed over. Looked like a lot of bullshit. She's very big on DEBT! mania.

Capt. Sticl posted:Maybe you were paying attention though, you might have noticed he didn't lie seven times, he lied NINE times: quote:1. Obama claims that “corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But… [u]pward mobility has stalled.” This has been refuted most recently by Harvard Economics Professor Raj Chetty who recently released a paper showing that upward mobility in America hasn’t changed since the 1970’s. This means that in the past 40+ years the chances of moving out of poverty in America have remained unchanged. Even if upward mobility has remained the same, it doesn't change the fact that it's incredibly difficult to move up and it's a problem in social inequality. quote:2. The President continued beating his ‘war on women’ drum last night, using his often cited statistic about women making only $.77 for every dollar a man makes in America. The problem is this statistic is completely bogus. Citation needed. quote:3. While the President made a big show out of the minimum wage he failed to tell the American people that the minimum wage actually only affects less than 1% of the work force. In 2012, 4.7% of hourly workers were paid at or below minimum wage. The number probably goes up significantly if you look at people who are paid $1-2 more than minimum wage too. 6& of female hourly workers were at or below minimum wage. http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2012.htm The rest of that is more "but private industry did it better! ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES ARE HURTING THE ECONOMY" crap. None of that is researched.

What if it's all a lie and we improve quality of life for only less than 1% of the work force?! Alternatively, gently caress this talking point because forcing private companies to increase pay for their workers unilaterally would be just the sort of Obama-tyranny people always accuse him of but never actually happens. That it's only affecting 1% of the work force means he is staying within constitutionality.

The minimum wage hike is only going to affect 1% of people but will also result in an astronomical rise in the cost of good for the consumer. Something about those viewpoints doesn't seem to add up.

That quote is only ever used when someone is trying to make the point Johnson and liberals were just buying the votes of black people with welfare checks. Even if we accept that premise it still makes no sense. Why would Johnson care about more black people voting for him because of Great Society programs?(also, shockingly, people vote for the person who makes their lives better) The black vote was already heavily Democratic although this chart comes with the caveat there's probably not a lot of blacks in the south casting votes pre VRA) which means Democrats lost multitudes more white voters over Johnson's policies(namely the voting and civil rights act) than they gained black voters.

If anything, Chetty's study actually bolsters Obama's point somewhat since a lot of the people who are saying "Don't like your income? Get a better job and get promoted to CEO" are people for whom that was a possibility...in the 1960s, or people who don't understand that the "corporate ladder" has ceilings every so often and that it's been that way their entire lives. I've seen people claim that "yeah, my MBA got me this job, but if I hadn't had it, I could have started working here in a lower position, and the company would have paid for me to get my MBA to get the position I'm in now. It was just a jump-start", when their company doesn't offer tuition reimbursement to anyone below their position, and everything lower is a non-advancement job. Obama was wrong if he framed it as upward mobility stalling recently, if Chetty is correct, but it doesn't change the fact that upward mobility is a myth for most.

"Upward mobility has stalled recently" is factually untrue in that something has to be moving upward than cease to stall. Rhetorically it's just a very polite way of saying that upward mobility is a comfortable lie, because the American electorate is childish and swaddled in confortable lies.
