Nicely played.

 

Yeah well there are plenty of smart serial killlers, and criminals out there as well.

 

My dad was old school. I wonder if I could have been as smart as Einstein.

When my wife read me the headline a couple of days ago, my first question was whether the researchers got the cause-effect relationship in the proper order: maybe stupid kids get spanked more because they're stupid.

 

So spank and make your kids an idiot or don't spank and make them irresponsible psychopathic criminals? What kind of choice is that?

 

D'oh!

 

Just another case of someone wanting a practice to change so they set out to do a baloney study to make an argument for it.

There is no way whacking a kid on the butt when he starts eating the impulse candy bars at the checkout lane of the grocery store has a permanent impact on his or her intelligence.

I took one college entrance exam and the score I got qualifies for entrance into Mensa. My parents whacked me with a belt when I acted like a turd. So I suppose that scientifically proves that either hitting kids with a belt makes them smarter, or Mensa really needs to improve their standards for admission.

 

I could see that

as far as spelling: duz it giv u a headake wen I spell rong? I don't understand why everyone feels the need to nitpick at grammar, when the point was likely understood.
