TBH, if someone beat their kid to a pulp with their fists and blamed him, I'd be on his side. It's not "I didn't mean it seriously," but rather "I didn't say anything that extreme."

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely against hitting kids (I'm anti-spanking and such, after all), but doing lasting physical harm is not what that guy is advocating. He's advocating lasting mental harm.

You can teach obedience through pain, but not a lifestyle through pain.

[Blargityblarg]

I wish I could teach that guy something through pain

Yeah let's show him who has the REAL moral highground

Implied 'but violence is wrong, children!' there.

So immunity for the lawyer who said it was legally cool to torture people in the United States of America.... It was "legally unclear" that enemy combatants got the same rights as other criminals and prisoners of war...? So if I call it something different then that changes it despite it being exactly the same.... If I screw up the slightest bit, they will jump all over me. This John Yoo guy does this and just....

He literally ordered people tortured.... No consequences....

I need to get the hell out of this country.

To what country, though? Every other place is letting people be tortured on order of the US.

....Dammit.

We should make an airship and form a micronation in the sky! It shall be called, Zepplin 12! Join me Comrades!

And plenty of hardcore religious people also feel that only the graces of their belief prevent them from doing harm to people.  I can accept that maybe you don't truly want to harm the dude physically, but language means things and is powerful.  Respect it!

Edit:  Not that I am making a case for pacifism, just that people try to be cognizant of their own word choices.

[Blargityblarg]

But language can't teach me anything through pain!

_{Yeah, I'll stop being silly now}

[Capntastic]

You obviously haven't tried reading anything by Arthur C Clarke then!

Or Atlas Shrugged.

... Or My Immortal. >_>;

Those don't teach you anything.

The first teaches you that Libertarians are insane.

The second teaches you that the universe is full of mental anguish.

[FearfulJesuit]

The first teaches you that Libertarians are insane.

The second teaches you that the universe is full of mental anguish.

Also that Snape likes to masticate to teenage girls gurlz.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

dhokarena56 is staying in character for "My Immortal". Masticate is the correct term in that context for "spanking the monkey".
