Well, again Ghost has been rude to me and I did nothing to warrant it. That in itself is a lack of respect. I questioned his attitude regarding violence towards children and was told that I had selective reading issues and again he has said it in the previous post. I understood his post perfectly well. I disagreed with it and simply emphasised the point that I was particularly displeased with.

I thought everything was cool, but again my name is being brought up. Seems some people on here want the discourse to sound like Bach whilst at the same time be able to be rude to other people themselves. Just not cool either.

Guess you have never been spanked when you were a kid, miles. Spanking has nothing to do with "violence". I am Not talking about beating a child to within an inch of their lives here. There is A Big difference.

Not one of my kids would dis-respect people the way they do here in this section of the forum and I have 5 kids, all over the age of 30. My kids will show people the respect they deserve because of the way they were raised and the discipline they received when they were young. Take note, I said discipline, not "Beating".

Rude? Calling you a pussy wiped sadsack, baby killing SOB would be rude. Telling you that you did not read my post correctly or mis-quoted me, is correcting a mis-understanding. Again, Big difference.


I have no problems with your point of views on politics, religion or any thing else you want to post about. Or anyone else's. I do have a problem with being mis-quoted, mis-read and people in general who try and shove their point of view down my throat, under the banner of "Freedom of Speech".

Yes, I was hit as a child and though on some occasions it was warranted, on numerous others it was simply because my mother was poorly equipped to be a parent and wasn't willing to put the time in to understand her children. Basically I have grown up to rebel against everything that my parents have stood for in their lives and one of those things is needless violence. I just don't think that is fair, but like I say I can understand the occasional slap. I don't think our core values are all that far apart really, but that comment about not being able to sit down for a month, seemed a somewhat harsh thing to say to another poster well into his 20's. I don't think I have any problems with you nor GB, but did feel it unfair to single me out for not reading what you said. I did read and understand what you said. In fact I agreed with the vast bulk of it.
