Is there a map of how widespread blackflies are in North America? I remember hearing horror stories from a guy who worked in Northern Quebec planting trees.

HonorableTB posted:I went to school where corporal punishment was allowed. My mother had to sign a waiver, which she gladly did. The vice principle was in charge of student discipline and he had a wooden paddle with holes drilled through it to reduce wind resistance. Nobody was paddled there in the five years I was at that school because it made such a good deterrent for being little shits in school. If we got out of hand, it wasn't a time out or detention for us. It was the VP and Mr. Whistles. Just knowing that it was there kept us from getting in trouble. I went to a school with corporal punishment and no one was deterred, they just really loving hated (and were creeped out by) the disciplinary principal and turned out lovely, violent, and underprivileged because they got no constructive discipline. People generally even preferred a short paddling to spending hours or days rotting in detention.

HonorableTB posted:I was also spanked as a child, and I'll probably spank my children too. Not with a belt or a switch like with what happened to me, but I see nothing wrong with swatting their asses when they're being out of control gremlins. Corporal punishment works when used as a last resort and repeated time outs or other punishments don't work, at that age anyway. When I got old enough that spanking wasn't feasible, my mother got creative and left me with my PlayStation and RPGS, but took the memory card so I couldn't save. She also at one point went out and bought the latest game I had been clamoring for, letting me turn it on and get a good 1-2 hours into it, then took the controller away from me so I could see it, have had the experience of playing it, but no longer access it. Those punishments worked a lot better, but as a small child/toddler, they would've been too sophisticated for me.

Its more, 'if your parents let you drink, you're not a cop, and nobody else gives a poo poo, why shouldn't I let you drink'? There are reasonable limits; you have to be able to put your money on the counter with your head above.

(ex-)Wisconsinite here. I believe the law is that kids 16 and up can drink in bars with their parents/guardian if the parents/guardian are okay with it.

Pretty sure that Maryland is still the same. 16+ if you're parents are there. Also I think that map is pretty misleading because it's based on google searches. I have no idea how you'd do it but something like the bar to grocery store ratio would basically turn every population center dark red. It's almost like 'dear google where can I find a bar because this place blows'.

Physical pain (or any kind of punishment) doesn't magically grant a kid understanding of why they shouldn't have done a thing they were recently doing. It might teach them that "this person is more powerful than me right now, so I have to do what they want" but that's not really a great lesson, long-term.

I'm pretty sure this is actually the law in a ton of states but most establishments refuse to serve anyone under 21 because its just not worth the headache it creates due to a plethora of issues.

Or maybe they are more sensible you can serve hundred times more people with a single grocery store than a standard bar, aside from the fact you can drive to and back from the store not so much from the bar.

Yeah, in Ohio your parents can buy a drink and give it to you if you're underage, you just can't order it yourself.

http://drinkingage.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=002591 on private, non alcohol-selling premises, with parental consent in 29 states: private home, private office, or private property with parental presence and consent: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming This is essentially, it's legal for your parents or other older relatives of yours they chose to allow, to give you beer as long as you're on private property that isn't a bar or store. on private, non alcohol-selling premises without parental consent in 6 states: private home, private office, or private property without parental consent or presence: Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina Effectively the same as above, but it can be anyone over 21 who actually purchases the alcohol and then lets the under 21s drink. So someone's dad could hold a beer-allowed party for his kid's high school graduation and all his friends who show up could also drink. on alcohol-selling premises, with parental approval in 10 states: restaurants, bars, and alcohol stores with parental approval: Connecticut, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin, Wyoming This one's self-explanatory. In a few of them, you can also be authorized to drink at a bar by a cop if your parents aren't strictly with you.

I live in Texas, let my 12 year old drink at restaurants, nobody has ever said anything. If they're with parents it's legal, though I hear some places don't allow it for liability reasons.

Texas is 1.1% of children who received corporal punishment, the highest being Mississippi at 7.5% and Arkansas and Alabama at 4.7% and 4.6% respectively. (At least as of 2006)
