  • Corporal Punishment

    I happen to disagree with the writer, from both an experiential standpoint as well as old fashioned common sense. Obviously, for parents who practice corporal punishment there are times it is not appropriate. However, regarding its efficacy, just remember what happened back in 1994 to Michael Fay in Singapore. As a spoiled seventeen year old ...

  • Absurd

    I find the document ridiculous. It doesn't have quotes nor does it have any supporting ''scientific'' evidence for the argument it makes. Along those lines, an alternate punishment for children isn't even suggested. I'm inclined to believe the information came from dubious sources. In the simplest terms... I have not been won over. No, I'm not an ...

  • Hitting your kids

    First and foremost, this article isn't about science. The key aspect about the scientific method is being able to reproduce results, not collect statistics. Any subject matter pertaining to human beings involves far too much variance in too many variables. Science can NEVER prove that hitting your kids is bad, nor can it EVER prove that not ...

  • Running for office with family

    I get a little frustrated when people say things such as, ''We wouldn't have these questions if she were a man,'' in this case regarding Palin's responsibilities when she has a special-need newborn, along with other serious family issues. Certainly, there are those who see female candidates (and working women, for that matter) through this prism. ...

Daughters need father's take it from one who grew up without one I was always looking for daddy in husbands and the marriages didn't work. I had no idea what men were for.

  • Evidence?

    So nice of the XXers to blog about how the family courts are allegedly biased against men. Where is the factual evidence? I don't give a hoot about all these anecdotes. Show me some data that say that, all things being equal, a mother will win custody of the children due to gender bias. It's not possible because each case is unique and must be ...

  • Moms, Don't Devalue Boys

    Yeah. There's this country song I heard while driving through the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida recently: Im Still a Guy by Brad Paisley. http://youtube.com/watch?v=zFxYXBW6QNo Now Im not endorsing everything this singer mentions, but he brings up the same sentiment that so many have mentioned in response to this article: a woman's desire ...

  • The Prolem with the Article

    Erica S. Perl, did a stack of comics fall on you as a small child? Why the arrogance in this article? Comics, as have been alluded to many times by other posters, have started many great readers. They have built a multitude of stupendous vocabularies. Yes, I am trying to show mine off. Getting down to brass tacks, the attitude presented ...
