You use the word "proven" far too freely yourself as well. "Indicated" or "implied" or even "suggested" would have been more appropriate.

Ok. The connection between spanking and adult violence is indicated, implied and even suggested. :D

So- pilots are really wearing sunglasses indoors?

That is an interesting topic to discuss.
Let’s talk about that-
-pilots....
-wearing sunglasses....
-indoors.

If they paid folks to get threads back on track, you sir, could retire early....

The thread IS on track. The pilots who weren't spanked as kids are the ones who wear their sunglasses in the terminal at night, sometimes on their face, sometimes up on their heads, sometimes backwards, sometimes on or with some sort of hat, sometimes outside of work like at a hotel, sometimes at a store or somewhere else they have to stop on the way to/from work.

The common thread is that they're all awesome because they weren't spanked, because this one study showed that spanking is 100% bad all the time.

Carry on.

Sorry, studies and statistics can be skewed to fit whoever's footing the bill's agenda.

Ok. But the data is more difficult to refute when corroborated by multiple studies.

Damn baby boomers!!!

You're bringing facts to an anecdote fight. It "feels" like you're wrong so therefore you are.

Since it never killed anyone and worked so well on your generation, why do you think your generation stopped doing it?
