You're teaching the child that a certain action will not be tolerated. They're learning that if they perform said action, then there will be discomfort in their posterior. Simple as that. If they're learning anything else, then you're spanking to hard or spanking too much. Do you have a child...

I don't think spanking, or indeed a good ass whooping is child abuse if used sparingly and in the right context. It can certainly become abuse if beatings are fierce and frequent, but there is nothing wrong with it if you reserve it for when your kid really screws up. I honestly don't know...

The Games themselves aren't bad, so I wouldn't say it's the worst ever. It is, however, probably the worst location ever. Not because the hosts are Chinese, but because Beijing is a s---hole. Sorry to any Chinese I may offend by saying that, but you can't honestly tell me the horribly polluted...

I like the mouse, although I wouldn't mind trying one with a builting track ball. Logitec makes some interesting ones of that variety.

Get the RAM. Get the bloody RAM. More RAM is always good. I'd make sure I had at least 2GB, if I were you. 2GB is just about good for anything, unless you're doing video editing or 3D modelling (I'll assume you don't, but I could be wrong). AMD Athlon 64 3200 is a great budget proc. If you...

No. I think America needs to drop the superpower act and stay the hell out of other peoples' business. Either that, or we need to become more interested/educated in parts of the world other than ours (We are obssessed with ourselves! I've taken three years of US history in high school! The...

I'm sorry you feel that way. I just listen to music I think is good, and I think Green Day is good. I don't really give a **** about power pop or the other hoopla names that people are giving things. Music is music, I don't understand why people can hate things just because they are popular...

No, most Americans want to make America a better place. They don't care about the rest of the world until someone screams "Weapons of Mass Destruction!" "Freedom is being oppressed!" or "Americans are being killed!". That last one is debatable, seeing as thousands of troops have been killed in...

I would disagree with that. Incubus and Green Day are still okay, to name a few. The majority of it sucks, though. Not that I watch MTV a lot. I'm on the computer too much to watch more than an hour of TV. When I do watch it I watch anime.

Mine discribes my view of the perfect society. A Democratic Marxism. Democratic rule by the Proletariat (working class) in a Marxist state. See StarTrek for an example. It's too bad that real Marxism never works on the national scale. There are monistaries and convents that use a Marxist...

I'm really excited about War of the Worlds, but I don't think it is doing to be anything really great. I could be wrong, though. Spielberg has made some good movies. Wow. Someone doesn't know good acting. Have you ever seen Rain Man? Risky Business? Jerry Meguire? Tom Cruise is a great actor...

Last five years? It's hard to find music made in the last five years that doesn't suck... Maybe I'm becoming my parents, but I hate a lot of the new bands (most of the ones I like have been around 10+ years or have members that have). I especially hate bands like Linkin Park. Anyway, here's...

Then how did he create Adam and Eve with free will? Why didn't he make it so I was born with a non-sinful nature? No, let's go back even further... Why didn't he make it so Cain and Able were born with a non-sinful nature? Was he still seathing about humanity's disobedience or something...

I don't really see how that works. Adam and Eve had free will, did they not? Before the apple they had free will and no disposition towards sin. Why can't God just make us like Adam and Eve were before the apple? If God is really all powerful, then I don't see how he couldn't do that without...

Wait... Isn't God all powerful? Why not just make us good again? Why go through all the pain a suffering because we (not even us, Adam and Eve) screwed up once? Ironduck is right. God is a sadist. If he has the power to change something so important for the better, why not do it? What is...
