Mostly mean the latter, yeah.

Not sure what to say other than >_____> to your example though. These studies are done by medical professionals that have nothing to gain from pushing one view or the other. If you want me to link you to some, I guess I can, but they are out there for you to read yourself to come to your own conclusion.

I'm good. If I ever knock up someone, I'll give them a really hard look. I can promise you that much.

Also, for the record. I have a dog that I don't hit. Because nothing he does is malicious and I don't allow him in harms way in the first place. In a perfect world, they are not bad enough to ever need to be swatted. But most people who don't have kids have this fantasy in their head that they will have the golden plan and their kid won't ever have any bad or dangerous habits. Shits unrealistic. It's just a very final option. Like I said, when you feel like the alternative would be them learning their lesson through getting hit by a car or getting 2nd degree burns. Do you guys think your kid just isn't gonna hurt themselves? Or would you rather them get hurt worse, just so you don't have to be the one to "betray" them.
