Judge William Adams Beats Daughter

I WANT to agree with you... no... I actually HOPE to see what you say come to flourish. But deep down inside... i know that the people who are successful in this life were actually raised with real parenting. OR alternatively... came from REAL abuse and made success out of it.

People with no sense of parenting will continue to do what they feel is right or wrong regardless of the outcome. Fighting the system, going out on chances or even against mainstream in attempt to rebel are the people who will never amount to anything other than arguing on internet forums all their life.

Sitting around and complaining about it on a forum will never get you anywhere... if you want to make an official issue within your state to make spanking your kid unlawful, give it a whirl and watch what happens.

God, read the *** articles Wikipedia references. RESEARCH IS HARD.

Also, in breaking news: Being 'socially accepted' makes it definitive.


Guess you missed Kriss' post? I'd assume (I know, ***-u-me) that indirectly calling someone stupid or lazy is chilling. You can have a different opinion, but there's really no need in getting emotional or heated. This is the internet, it really means nothing in each of our lives.

I'll never understand the negative stigma that Wikipedia has when it comes to information. If you don't believe the Wiki article itself, simple check the work cited.

Chill.

(Don't B&t me ; ; I just wanted to try it!)

Wiki - fails in theory, works in practice.

He's got SWAT surrounding his house lol

It's absolutely amazing. Wiki a topic ---> find a few peer reviewed articles from journals ----> all of those include your references ---> you now have a list of 100 papers on a topic from which you can pull information.

The problem with Wikipedia is that people are absolutely HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE and don't know how to read more than a paragraph summary of a topic.

What is the entire credit industry?

One that has your debt on record.. and will pursue you for that debt when payment comes due? Unlike this situation where you come up with XYZ excuses "Oh their album really sucked this time i'm not buying it." "Oh man i'm stretched for cash, buy this album i pirated or take my kid to the dentist".

Any further questions?

That is a binding agreement. Taking something without authoritative parties knowing, and making a 'promise' to yourself to make it justified later is hardly the same thing.

EDIT: Cin beat me to the punch.

Ninja Double Edit: Let's stop arguing over what defines a bad person or bad parent, and pursue our efforts discussing MW3 or Skyrim. Posting LOLs is always welcome, as well.

Yeah I'm pretty done here, back to battlefield 3 methinks.

For the record I wasn't saying it was identical to the credit system. I was asking why it was so wrong. There might not be a record of the debt, but the end result is the same, one party gets the product they desire and the other is given the payment its due.

I just put you on my good list too><

Do you suppose anyone at occupy wallstreet was spanked?

Then we sir... are... at a stand off :D

lool I may still get MW3 and give it a go though, but I've had far too much fun with battlefield 3 the past week or so... MORE than both MW2 and blackops combined :(

That's a damned if you do... damned if you don't type of question if i've ever seen one lol.

Actually, a few of my BO buddies say that BF3 is an amazing game. Alas, I cannot force myself to get over that absolutely horrid, bug riddled Beta I played. I never liked the first two either, which is a large obstacle.

I'm stuck playing CODs because I'm good at them, and like the fact that if there is artillery involved, it was someone good and not some noob that got to spawn in it.

I would say no. If they were, I'd think they would be tending to their (or trying to find a) job.

The dumb level in this thread just went up an entire order of magnitude.

I played the beta... operation metro.. was nothing at all... NOTHING at all compared to the actual game. I also found out that beta we played was 4-6 months old as they released it... and that their had already been plenty of fixes and tweaks even before the beta.

Why they did that with the beta was beyond me... but the full polished game is.... beyond words.

Well boo, guess I'll force myself to give it a shot. Last question since we're already completely off topic. How is the campaign?

Obviously sarcasm isn't one of your strong points. I'd call you Sheldon, but that would be insulting to him.

I would say you're not very good at delineating sarcasm in text. Either that or you're covering your tracks.

Either way, I still win because I'm infallible.

Trying too hard, you're doing it.

Oh, and sorry about the sarcasm. My MS Windows 8 with MS Office 2013 pre-loaded with 3 types of sarcasm font is on pre-order.(10 pts for those that know where this is from)

Ok, don't derail the thread either. Can't we all just get along? No need to insult each other to have a discussion.

I smell a lock on the horizon, this has already been taken off the main page. I've said my peace. Hope he gets what he deserves, hope prospective parents in here don't shy away from corporal punishment (when necessary) solely based off of cases such as these.


Sorry. I would say he started it, but that's childish and irrelevant. I'll try to mind my manners better in the future.

You don't seem to understand.

Statute of limitations is 5 years from date of commission of the act. Extension to ten years from Forbes quote shouldn't apply. As defined in that section of the penal code, a child is someone under 14 years of age. They would be hard pressed to make a case on the description of disabled individual:

(3) "Disabled individual" means a person older than 14 years of age who by reason of age or physical or mental disease, defect, or injury is substantially unable to protect himself from harm or to provide food, shelter, or medical care for himself. (source)

From the video, it appears that she's physically, even with cerebral palsy, and mentally capable of attempting to protect herself from harm (running away, attempting to block the advance of a threat). Being 16, she was of legal age to get a job and could have, if she were so inclined, gotten emancipated and moved out on her own and provided for herself the other qualifiers.


Note that I'm not defending his actions, just saying why he won't be held legally responsible for them.
