Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
My naturally negative personality that runs counter to my nature of doing things as well as I possibly can.
That and my weird habit of using words I didn't know I knew in conversations and posts. Today's word of the day is "Predisposed"
Hello from Syracuse New York. How was your day people?
I just got home from work and I'm up in my room with constant pain in my feet and fighting the urge to sleep. You'd think that was a bad thing until tell you that before yesterday, I couldn't even make it up into my room after getting home...
Physical restraint as in holding a child down? My definition of Corporal punishment is smacking and Spanking. Something immediate to get the child to calm down or listen. Trying to physically restrain a child is actually pretty difficult. Anyway, my move has always been "Try talking it out more...
What would general believe in a higher power / afterlife be? That's generally how I'd describe my belief and I've always used Deist to describe it but I'm not 100% sure if that's the absolutely correct term for it.
This isn't necessarily an argument about ethics, it's an argument about parenting in general with a focus on spanking. So no, I'm not side stepping any argument, I just haven't been arguing about the ethics sense that wasn't the focus of my argument. Also, "would you hit an adult who did...
Depends on the context of the situation. Smacking someone is immediate and does make them more receptive. Not that it necessarily works on everyone or that it works on someone 100% of the time but as I said, it's context. Understanding what works in what situation. "A hell raiser flying through...
I've edited this post at least three different times because I'm not exactly sure how to say what it is I want to say. Corporal Punishment is.... complex for me. I've been spanked before and I've spanked others before so you'd think I would accept it easily but the thing is, it's a nuanced thing...
I don't have sick days. I have days where i think my head is hot and go to work anyways. Last time I remember being sick enough that I needed to stay home *that wasn't just me faking it* was when I was a teenager feeling like I was dying for the better part of an afternoon. I didn't realize I...
I've got a fun story. I don't remember how young I was exactly but I believe I was somewhere between 5 and 8 years old, walking home from school. I had almost gotten there when I noticed some guys hanging out on their porch. I didn't really mind them much and was about to continue walking when...
Right now I'm in a situation where I don't have to worry about a lot of things. I can admit that I'm well off. That said, over the course of 2 years, I still managed to get to 2k max on a minimum wage job and stay on a consistent 1k on average with about 300$ to 500$ on bills, a month. I myself...
Selflessness and Selfishness are not mutually exclusive. It's entirely possible to be both at the same time. A selfless act for a selfish reason isn't an entirely rare occurrence. Neither is the opposite. Giving someone 100$ may be seen as a selfless act but if that was because you were offered...
Ohh how fun. I'll give this a go. If only because as of posting this I haven't thought to much about these kinds of things.
1. What, for you, is right-wing?
I'm gonna try to avoid the far side of these wings
I think it's more the traditional crowd wing that adheres to what works and typically...
No. In all but the most last resortiest of last resorts is it alright to resort to violence. The simple fact is that it doesn't matter how evil you personally think the ideology of the person opposing you is, when you resort to violence, you're the evil one. I don't care if you're opposing a...
