    "Most Americans Think Corporal Punishment Is OK," ABCNEWS poll finds

    Gosh... I don't think I've ever had to give my daughter a smack more than once a fortnight... its a really big deal at my house... its talked about for days afterwards! 3.5 times a week???

    help me explain sea mammals

    Or simply protists, archaea and eukaryotes. Which the Bible never mentions... oddly, since the difference between protists and archaea is greater than the difference between plants and mammals. You'd think the "authoritative word of God" might have mentioned them in a foot note. Or did the...

    Hope you stick around for a while though. Maybe in time you can demonstrate your scientific credentials.

    help me explain sea mammals

    Ah, much like the question of "where does the soul of the second identical twin come from", I think you have stumbled on yet another specific case that proves how inaccurate certain "fired from the hip" interpretations of the Bible are, the ones where people make up an explanation without...

    Has it occured to anyone else that possibly... just possibly... OutoftheLoop is actually Christine O'donnell?

    The Pearls are, quite possibly, the 2 individuals for whom I have the most contempt of anyone on the planet.

    "Most Americans Think Corporal Punishment Is OK," ABCNEWS poll finds

    In my experience, resort to physical punishment (and I dislike that term) is a necessary tool in the kit. There as a last resort, and absolutely never because the adult is frustrated, but no, without physical intervention, I don't believe you could control most kids all the time. Hoowowboy...

    Actually, when I was doing my confirmation course, we were told that that is OK.

    Heraldically, the scallop shell is usually associated with St. James

    Should You Read Non-Catholic Materials?

    Sooo... I suppose it never occured to you that if there is material out there that makes more sense than ours, maybe its because its better material? Just hypothetically, you understand. What you're saying just seems like so many other "I only listen to my political party, because I know the...

    Should You Read Non-Catholic Materials?

    Sorry, I'm a big boy, with the mental chops to critically analyse material for myself. The whole "we know what's best for you" line of argument has never really appealed to me.

    What do you think of Pope Benedict’s new Coat of Arms?

    Meh. Mine're better. And just by the way, technically, they aren't a coat of arms, they're an "armorial achievment". A coat of arms is specifically something you wear.

    New York Mosque? Near ground Zero?!!

    Hey, if a brand new cult emerged worshipping the 9/11 hijackers as gods, and THEY wanted to build a temple near ground zero, assuming they own the land and breach no zoning ordnances, your establishment clause still means you gotta let 'em.

    poll: Sensual Self-gratification (don't like the M word)

    I'm going to guess she thinks 2 1/2 men is about masturbation (hence mentioning it here) or homosexuals hence the parenthesis around "men".

    Try masturbating with cornflakes and you'll see why.

    Can we have a Adult conversation?

    Seriously guys, its getting tiresome. Changing the figurehead won't actually do much. Wail and blame Obama for all your woes all you want, but what do you think the opposition would do differently thats going to fix all the problems? Imagine, for a moment, you are the single, solitary voter...

    Do feminists hate mothers and children?

    Well, one of the nice things about pregnancy is you usually have some idea of when its going to require leave, so there is the opportunity for the temp (or part timer, or subordinate, or whatever) to work alongside you and learn the role before you leave. And if there ISN'T that sort of time...
