[eave God and religion to the churches. There, you can believe it all you want and go in depth. Schools would no more endorse a single religion than hey would throw out Math or Science studies.]
Your in school right now, your just not listening to the teacher.
Back in the good ol days teachers could beat the tar out of you.
Now they have no power.
Spare the rod spoil the child.
You cant hit your kids today.
Another NWO idea no doubt.
My old man used to use a meat board or the old orange hotwheel tracks.
I think you been spared too much. E enemy A alien D Devil.

Regardless of minor spankings, many interpreted this to mean "Beat the fucking hell out of your child" in ways that are simply horrific. Hence why it stopped.
Oh yeah, and when my mother went to Catholic school in the 1950's/60's, she saw many great things thanks to the nuns with their now-revoked power. When a boy threw up in class, they put a bonet on him and forced him to stand outside with a sign saying "I am a baby who throws up over himself".
Fun, eh?
Hey, just because you're into S&M doesn't mean everyone will be.
Also, the only NWO there has ever been was owned by Vince McMahon. There is no conspiracy, beating your children with a 'meat board' does fall under child abuse, and I know many children who were never spanked and are wonderful darlings.
Ya know, if you taught your kid respect rather than fear, to care instead of claim superiority over the less fortunate, and to QUESTION everything) maybe you wouldnt need to beat him.
Child abuse leads to more child abuse, because they grow up thinking "its ok" and "god will forgive me just like he forgave dad" and other such crap...
And they have a sad record of deaths and psychiatric consultations due to traumas and disorders. And by the way, Robohan, Salomon's son and first not to be spared the rod, was a tyrant that was almost lynched by his own people. I will bear that in mind too.
"My old man used to use a meat board or the old orange hotwheel tracks."
Hey, I used to have some of those very same HotWheels tracks. I never could figure out why they were orange, but they made for cool lightsaber fights.
Wait, I'm drifting...
"Back in the good ol days teachers could beat the tar out of you.

Beat t' tar out of you? Luxury!
In my day, teachers would slice you in two wit' rusty breadknife, bury you in lime filled pits and dance on y' mouldering corpse singing hymns to the choir invisible! An' that were just f' having a blunt pencil!

Violence breeds violence. My dad figured it would be okay if he just spanked me hard enough to cause pain. It wasn't, and at around age 10, I learned to fight back harder than most people would imagine possible for a scrawny little guy like me. Now that I've outgrown him, I find it increasingly hard to respect him; he's just not intimidating anymore, and it felt like that was all there was to him.
It's interesting to notice that spanking was abolished because one teacher in England killed his student because he lost control of the situation. I mean, he solved the problem, not the way he intended to.
Well, since he's obviously into it... Let's find him and beat the shit out of him.
Better yet, let's not - And make him WISH for what might have been.
Any teacher -- or person in general -- who tries to "punish" my brother is going to have the shit kicked out of them.
"PHYSICAL BEATINGS ARE BAD. *gutkick* SEE? THAT HURTS LIKE A FUCKING BITCH, DOESN'T IT?"
And I assure you, if teacher ever struck me, I'd likely hit them right back. And if they attempted to force me to do something humiliating as a punishment, I'd just walk out. That's motherfucking abuse, and I will not stand for it.
My Mom and my aunt went to a Catholic school. Mom says the nuns were as rotten as they are in the movies- one made a kid who laghed in class bend over before she beat the hell out of his back with a 3-sided ruler until he was bleeding. Needless to say, my cousins, my sister and I never went near a parochial school when we were growing up.
The New World Order is a favorite whipping boy for religious and conspiracy kooks- often one and the same. There is no such thing, just like the Illuminati. Only fools waste their time with it.
The monastic life seems to be a form of usually-consensual insanity to me... you know, although the nuns I've known have mostly been decent people (the Bad Habit does seem to be a thing of the past, probably because so many Catholic schools are staffed with lay teachers), I do think by and large the convent culture spawned a long tradition of bitter, self-hating women who turned their anger and frustration on their students.
I can see, for the truly devout, a period of temporary devotion, maybe five years, in a monastery or convent. But please, someone let the nuns die out and their lay sisters serve the way the nuns always wanted to but couldn't.
“Your in school right now, your just not listening to the teacher.”
’You’re.’ I can see you benefited massively from schools that could beat the tar out of you.
“Back in the good ol days teachers could beat the tar out of you.”
Yep. Been there. Bend over, look at the white sheet of paper and tell me when it turns red.
“Now they have no power.”
Also true. You go to school for years and get a degree in education and certify as a science teacher so some mouthbreather can call the principal and complain you’re teaching a Globe Earth when it’s clearly FLAT! And they take the knuckledragger’s side.
“Spare the rod spoil the child.”
‘Rod (comma) and spoil the child, numbnuts.
“You cant hit your kids today.”
’Can’t.’
‘kids, today.’
“Another NWO idea no doubt.”
Progressive, anyway. History has ever marched in the progressive direction.
“My old man used to use a meat board or the old orange hotwheel tracks.”
And you still have the academic skills of a bucket of cement.
“I think you been”
‘Have been’ or maybe ‘had been.’
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
