To be fair I grew up in three of those red states and never got whipped once and never saw anyone else get it either.

Yeah I went to school in two of the red states on that map and the schools I went to never used corporal punishment. I suspect even in states where it's legal, most schools don't do it.

In my state, it's down to the individual school boards to determine whether they want to use it or not. Of the ~175 school districts, only about 30 still retain it, mostly confined to one group of rural counties in the east. It hadn't been practiced in the district I went to school in in decades, so I didn't even know it was still allowed anywhere in the state until I saw the map and looked it up.

But yeah, I'm guessing that 'furrymap.net' isn't the most accurate source for the worldwide distribution of Furries.

On the other hand, noble Mecklenburg-Vorpommern also remains largely peopleless.

On the topic of corporal punishment & Canada, apparently the map is incorrect, because of section 43 of the criminal code:

Criminal Code of Canada, section 43 posted:

Every schoolteacher, parent or person standing in the place of a parent is justified in using force by way of correction toward a pupil or child, as the case may be, who is under his care, if the force does not exceed what is reasonable under the circumstances.

There was a case which reached the supreme court in 2004 which upheld section 43, although they did specify guidelines on its use.

According to this pamphlet http://www.jfcy.org/PDFs/Section43June2012.pdf the circumstances for teachers using force does not include discipline or punishment.

quote:

No, teachers can only use reasonable force to restrain or guide a student. Teachers must only use the necessary force required to remove a student from the classroom or to make a student
obey instructions. They cannot use physical punishment to discipline or correct behaviour.

http://www.parl.gc.ca/content/lop/researchpublications/prb0510-e.htm#opinion

quote:

While corporal punishment itself is not reasonable in the school context, a majority of the Supreme Court concluded that teachers may use force to remove children from classrooms or secure compliance with instructions.

Uhm, you folks saying that you saw people getting beaten by teachers... care to say how long ago that was? A decade can make a big difference here.

Went to public schools between 1995 and 2002. Knew about a kid it was administered on in 2001. It didn't work though, they still had to send him to the alternative school before the end of the year. We were in 5th grade.

He was a disrespectful poo poo to all the teachers though. Constantly just seeing what he could get away with, spanking him didn't do any good. When the D.A.R.E. officer came in to tell us about drugs being bad, this kid demostrated an encyclopedic knowledge of drugs and gangs for a twelve year old. He made fun of me when the officer told me to pantomime smoking pot because my hits were too close together.

Anime (and manga subsequently) became very popular in France because anime shows were cheap as gently caress and French tv producers imported a lot of them back in the day, especially in the eighties.

It was the equivalent of the Saturday Morning cartoons. You even had anime made in cooperation between French and Japanese studios: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_31 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold

Manga became popular in France and Italy probably 20 years before it did in the US, so still in the 70s. Why that was if I had to guess maybe because of Franco-Belgian comic books creating a more comic-attuned population, maybe?

Manga not in the seventies, at that time it was still anime only.
Manga only started becoming popular in the nineties, because of stuff like Dragon Ball. First it was cheap anime for kids, then people picked up the mangas they were based on.

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 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.
