Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What do they want? Carrier pigeon?
Things I should not do:
- Read anyone's comments on FB about a teacher arrested for hitting her student repeatedly in the head.
- Respond to someone on FB about red meat leading to strokes by asking "Does the stroke come with bacon?"
- Possibly read FB at all.
That first one really upsets me, though. The number of people who believe that a student could do something to deserve physical abuse from a teacher, who justify it with "I was hit all the time when I was in school!" I just...am at a loss.

PLEASE DO THIS.
She's a very a passionate vegan, and I respect her right to eat what she wants, and to share what she believes on FB. But it mostly made me want a cheeseburger.
Yeah, Dana, people defending a teacher beating up a student is revolting. And, also, is such an insult to teachers who can handle shit appropriately!
People are defending that teacher?!? I can't even.
They're bemoaning the good old days when teachers were allowed to control their classrooms.
Even whe corporal punishment was the norm at my schools, it was spanks on the rear, NOT slaps to the head like in that video. People are horrible.
ION, ate lunch, now sleepy.
A lot of people quote the "spare the rod and spoil the child" ... which is still strongly supported by some.
I'm always reminded of when, in my teens, they started introducing laws against child abuse and people were screaming that if they weren't free to beat their children said children would run wild and be criminals. Never, of course, acknowledging a difference between discipline and abuse.
