Gay Parents Get Child Banned from School

Protest Planned at Boulder Catholic School
Nice…punish the child. So stereotypical of Catholics. May Slipknot play at the school’s next sock hop.
Oh My Cyber-God!

Jesus Cyber-Christ! Enough with the cyber-compound nouns already! It’s a ridiculous word added onto the beginning of another word just so people with IQs below 100 understand that the analyst/reporter is talking about the Internet. On the Yahoo! Tech Security cyber-page, I counted no less than 13 cyber-instances of the word “cyber.” WTCF? Please. Everyone stop now. So flippin’ cyber-annoying.
I’m Dumb Because My Parents Spanked Me
24-Sep, 2009
According to my Aunt, rest her soul, I was a horrible baby. She would also tell me how awful of a kid I was at every visit. My brother and I would beat the hell out of each other at every waking moment. As a result, my Mom would often jam our head into a corner and make us stand in the corner for 15 minutes…an eternity when you’re 8 and 5 and a half. I was also stabbed on the top of my hand with a fork for drumming on the table when asked (three times) not to drum on the table AND hit in the back of the head with a table spoon when misbehaving during dinner.
Ahh…the memories. For the record, my parents were (and are) excellent parents. Many people (mostly those who love me and have to say it) tell me that I turned out OK. ;-)
Which brings me to the article that inspired me to write tonight:
Children Who Get Spanked Have Lower IQs
I don’t know about the whole “trauma adversely affects the brain” thing because I really traumatized my younger brother and he’s one of the most intelligent guys I know. Rock on G.
