I think it's presumptuous to assume Carter wouldn't have still ended up the way he did without that punishment. Who's to say? There are plenty of people out there who turned out just fine that were never physically disciplined as a child. Just like there are people who turned out to be zeroes even though they were whooped when they were younger.

Good point. I think that when the media uses the ever-tiring blanket statement to assume either everybody should use corporal punishment or not use it, it's a mistake.

BTW....it's progress report time here for our kids. My girls' grades:

My eldest's grades:

Chorus – A
Intro to T&L – B
PE – A
Math – A (thus far, his grade isn’t finalized quite yet)
Language Arts – A-
Social Studies – A
Science – still waiting on Science teacher's grade, but she thinks she definitely has an A. J
Youngest's Grades (my difficult, stubborn child that gets more 'corporal' than the other :sneaky:)
Reading/Language Arts – B
Writing – A
Math – A-
Social Studies – B- (we’ll have to watch this one….)
Science – A-
Art – (not a complete grade yet)
Vocal Music – (not a complete grade yet)
PE – B (we’ll have to watch this one too)

My biggest thing is that they try their hardest. I'm not going to beat the crap out of my kids because they have Bs when I THINK they can do better....especially if that's the best they can do. But, for example....my youngest came home at the beginning of last week. She's my 'want to do what the hell I want to do' kid. We studied all of the prior week for a test she had, but I was a bit more lenient on a couple of things. All of our practice tests, everything went fine.

Then, she bombs the test.

Why in the hell would I beat the crap outta her for doing bad on the test when I was lenient with her on certain things? That's partly my fault. So we buckled down the next week. She gets an A on the test.

Parents have to look in the mirror sometimes and whoop themselves for missing the mark with their kids.

Well...

VikingsMessageBoard.com, a longtime board devoted to discussion of the Minnesota Vikings, has shut down forever because of its owners' disgust with the burgeoning Adrian Petersonscandal. And oh, are there plenty of people to be disgusted at. Sure, there's Peterson himself, indicted on charges of child abuse. But the proprietors of the message board also offered the following note, via SB Nation:

Vikings Message Board has been shut down permanently. It will not return. There are two primary reasons.
1. The Vikings' cowardly decision to reinstate a child abuser and think that an apology will make this blow over. We will not stand for this arrogance and we will no longer be the home of any support of the Vikings. We stand for those who cannot defend themselves.

2. We will not give a voice to thugs who think child abuse is "cultural" or worse, openly advocate child abuse as a reasonable method of punishment. This ends here. Yes, a few board members have ruined it for everyone. Congratulations, [jerks].

Pictures look like it went rather far imo.
I was paddled as a child ... and thanks to my sister thinking it'd be a smart idea to hide the pine one, my dad made one out of oak.
But welts like that all over... that is actually injuring the child. The idea is to give them something to think about, not an injury that needs to heal.

He done. At least for a couple of years, and given his age, that may be it. The Vikings won't play him again, and given all of the outrage swirling around this on the heels of the Ray Rice stuff, I'd be surprised if another team is willing to take on the controversy...if the NFL would even let them. The whole thing's pretty shocking, as AP seemed like a likeable dude...

A professionally coached team - give up a TD with 1.50 on the clock that ties the game. Your opponent has 1 TO left. Your return guy takes the kick off five yards deep AND RUNS IT OUT! Gets nailed at the 12. Your QB then runs when he can't find an open man and loses two. Then YOUR coach calls a TO! Now your QB can't find an open man and throws the ball away stopping the clock(!). 3rd down and QB gets sacked, setting up punt from end zone. Long snapper dribbles the ball back to kicker who bobbles ball then moves left into the path of blocker and a rusher. Punt blocked back into the stands, safety, 20 seconds left on the clock and the other team still has a TO they no longer need.

Why wouldn't you a) threaten your returner with death if he brings it out, settle for the ball on the 20. b) run the clock out and see what you can do in OT?

Instead coach stands on sideline looking dazed and fills mouth with chewing tobacco. Why would anyone pay a guy 7 figures when he can't kill a clock and give his team a chance? No wonder the Vikings suck.
