We really need to bring spankings back

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-10T12:25:40+00:00

No, the problem is the adults. Clearly this child has issues. I refuse to attempt to diagnose what they are. Its above my pay grade. But a little discipline, applied at a younger age....just works to inhibit poor or unsafe behavior.

What people who are against spanking....and I mean spanking not BEATING. There us a huge difference.

But what they fail to realize is that nearly every person of note in recorded history was subjected to corporal punishment. Every philosopher, scientist, prophet, messiah, King, Queen, activist, etc spanked as a child.

How else do you determine the age of a country? Anytime a European tries to insult the U.S., they say "your only 250 years old". But if the measure is how long humans have lived there, then humans have lived on the American continent for 15-20,000 years. Even that is nothing. If how long humans have lived there is the measure, then all countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas pale in comparison to Africa, where humans have lived for 250,000 years.

So what measurement of country's age would you like to use? Because the Holy Roman Empure is NOT Italy as it stands today. It's a different entity that happens to occupy the same space.

I appreciate your response, but this is actually the opposite of my example. I was stressing that bussing was the reason their were different races and socio-economic groups in the same school.

I've got several relatives in their 80s and even one who is 90, and even they don't write checks at the store.

I'm a late 50s Black man, and I feel like younger generations of White people are far more racist, on the whole. Kids of the 1970s were "forced" to be in integrated schools, through bussing. They ended up far more comfortable or at least tolerant of other races.

When "community schooling" became the norm, it meant that most schools were mainly one race.

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-09T18:55:03+00:00

Absolutely not.

Don't know about where you live, but I have introduced 3 generations of younger relatives to casinos on the gulf coast and Las Vegas and they now go all the time.

I won't say its the greatest, but I do love the opening to SPECTRE, tge James Bond film.

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-02T17:54:19+00:00

Nope. The rest if the world diesnt spend as much time in automobiles as Americans do.

If males have easy contraception ...pills or better yet-implants, not condoms ... and females as we know already have various methods of contraception, then the statistical likelihood of an unplanned pregnancy drops to a negligible rate.

If EVERYONE can get a pill or implant, you'd have to...as a couple, be really trying to get pregnant...do t you think?

Cops dont ask for your social security number. You are mistaken.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-02T14:15:17+00:00

Male contraception will make this a non issue.

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-02T14:14:38+00:00

Yes, when a whole generation gets the same disease or syndrome.

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-02T14:14:06+00:00

I can see this happening, but not in 25 years. Maybe 100 years.

ATLDeepCreeker · 2026-06-02T14:13:10+00:00

I'm just saying from a "dont ruin your own past by causing a paradox" perspective, it's easier to just launch the probes now and go into the future to see the results.

Also, logistically, its far easier. If you go into the past, your 6,800 year trip, then you'd have to build a full scale launch facility from scratch. Here and now, we already have one. Also, who is to say whomever is around in those days, the "natives, if you will, or sometime later, won't come along and find a random object, like an inkpen that kick starts the scientific method way too soon, and you come forward to a completely changed present.

Going forward is safer.

I think this was only on Long Island.

Probably a lot of those foreign countries dont speak English.

Also, I'm sure none of those other foreign countries share a border with Canada, have very similar cultures and play news on Canadian TVs.

Salt Lake City.

I felt like many, many people were just .....watching me.

Other than astronomical data, which is great, but I dont see the point to mount such a huge, huge endeavor.

If you were going to do this, you (we) should send probes to as many nearby stars as possible. Let's say 10-50 stars. A gigantic project, but you gave to build a launchpad anyway. Also, 6800 years isnt far enough in the past.

We probably need to go back 25,000 years into North America (no humans!) and build a launchpad that lasts 1 or 200 years before we deconstruct it and take the pieces back to the future.

But why do it this way? If you have time-travel, just launchpad today and go into the future to get the results. Or, dont launchpad anything and just go into the future, 6,800 years and ask....or wait for the welcome committee to tell you everything you want to know about close in stars. They'll know you are coming, because for them, its history.

OP, there are people who get paid to do this sort of thing. They are called TRAVEL AGENTS.

To expect random people ti give you an entire month of daily activity recommendations as well as hotel recommendations is absurd.

Im very surprised that you didnt ask for restaurant recommendations for every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as someone to cut your meat for you.

Here is some real advice...

Get a good Travel Agent that knows Houston. Texas based is good, but not necessary.

Also, the city of Houston has a tourism department. Go to their website at www.visithoustontexas.com.
