If you mean me…
This is what I said.
I didn’t go into the discussion. I joined the discussion about the law and the statute of limitations that started before me.
Do you have villa and RNTB on your ignore lists? Is that why you didn’t know this?
If so, can you please put me on there, too?
Same here.. in my high school you use to roll the dice and whatever you rolled was the paddling you got.. I thought it was ignorant then and still do today.. The fact that the “Judge” was cursing while striking says a lot to me. My dad told me long ago when my firstborn came to never discipline when you were angry.
No no no no OMG.. came in here with “I’m from straight out of Africa” Shit. Okay well I’m out of Africa to.. via several slave ships and relatives who moved up north.. what that shit had to do with the discussion i have no clue. Perhaps someone who is straight out of Ireland should add.. or straight out of Poland.. or Straight out of Russia..
I’ve handled and arrested a mother who took a hot iron to her daughter.. but since THIS doesn’t rise up to that girls second degree burns it can’t be abuse..
Yes, you are very perceptive. My argument is that there are only two possible reactions - dissolving impotently into emotional jelly, or launching dispassionately into an arcane review like an automaton whose button was pressed.
But no, please don’t go. Whatever shall we do if you don’t continue to share your insights?
That is one of the most disturbing things about this to me. Not just the hitting, but to talk to your child like that. His verbal abuse was just sickening. I think that having my father talk to me in that way would hurt me worse than the belt. This is your dad. He’s supposed to love you and care for you and protect you from other assholes that might want to treat you badly. He’s not supposed to be the asshole.
I’m not at all familiar with any history of those two posters distracting a discussion (at times apparently intentionally ) with some pained and painful tangent about some minor point of law.
On the other hand, I’ve seen many episodes of the Bricker Show.
So was that done here?
Well network executives were concerned that the Bricker Show was faring badly with the 18-35 demographic, so spun off a couple of minor legal characters to start RNTB & villa in Lefty Lawyer Laugh-in.
But like every spinoff, it lacked firm roots. So just as Bobby Ewing had to visit Knots Landing from time to time, you had to make special guest appearance. We wanted to save it for the very special Xmas episode, but the powers that be are considering canceling us before that.
l agree. Another very disturbing aspect was just how much he was into it. There’s a real “lemme at her” vibe, and when he goes to get another belt, you get the idea that he envisions both of them beating on her together. The "say the wrong thing " coda really makes it clear that he’s just itching to continue.
I forgot to point out that musings on the ability to defeat BIOS passwords fit more with the defense through distraction theory than the joining in as a legal consultant explanation.
I’m sorry, but I don’t agree. At least one poster was surprised to learn that BIOS passwords could be reset in hardware or that a bootable Linux system could read Windows data. Granted, it wasn’t the main point of the thread, but the quick mention didn’t derail any discussion at all. We didn’t devolve into a discussion of motherboard models or NTFS disk encryption capabilities. Someone said something that was factually inaccurate, and I corrected it. The quest for accuracy is one that is shared by most people who come to this board. I realize that it takes a back seat in your view to righteous indignation, but just because you have no interest in factual accuracy does not mean others don’t.
No idea who that is, but I’m actually talking about someone trying to grammar Nazi is another thread because I said “isle” instead of “aisle”.
And, as I said, I don’t do videos. It’s either a dated picture or nothing.
Well, unlike you, I was actually born in Africa, lived there for a while, got on a plane with my parents 20+ years ago and came to the U.S.. If you would have ever been to Africa, you would know that corporal punishment is pretty much considered a cultural norm throughout the continent (I’m sure there are probably a few places here and there where it’s looked down upon). You do something wrong, you get your licks and no one bats an eye-- within reason, of course.
Anyway, when I watched the video I thought to myself, “That’s it?”. Ehhh. If I counted right, she got hit 17 times on her clothed body. I’m not going to lie; when I was younger, those were the kind of beatings I’d pray for. Typically, as it happened, I got a belt, a switch, a paddle or some kind of palm branch to the back/backside for a good minute or so uninterrupted. Indeed, I’d go so far as to say that I think a sizable portion of kids in America probably get beat worse than than the chick in the video did every now and then without most of the public batting an eye. I can’t be bothered to find it right now, but I remember a study reading that Blacks are more likely to be physically disciplined and to be hit with stuff like belts, switches, paddles and rulers than any other racial group. You think they’re all terrible parents and/or child abusers? I happen to beg to differ. What you deem as abuse, I just deem as getting a good old fashioned spanking. Watching the video really didn’t bother me at all.
Now I eagerly await the hundreds of angry responses about how terrible a person I am 
Precisely what I said.
I spy with my little eye a straw man. To reiterate what I said earlier:
I do believe being beaten with a hot iron would classify as a ‘weird object’.
OMG, did you ever consider that being beaten to within an inch of your life is not normal no matter how much you say you’re used to it and it’s the norm when you were growing up?
Maybe you were raised by sadistic barbarians.
I’m sorry, but where did you read anything about being beaten to within an inch of your life? Hyperbole, much?
…Oh, and sadistic barbarians? Really?
Yes I did.
No you didn’t.
it is five years from the date of the offense, according to the police chief and DA.
Despite 22.04 regarding injury to a child under 14, the victim was over 14, the Chief said the charge would have been injury to a child, and the limitation is five years.
You were right that the statute of limitations prevented charging him with a crime, you were wrong about pretty much every interpretation of the law that led to this conclusion (or the police chief and DA were).
Ah. So in your world there is a specific list of appropriate items to be beaten the everliving shit out of with by your parents ; but deviating from that list, now that’s just *wrong *man. A belt is A-okay, but electrical chords aren’t, boards good, pipes bad…Fascinating.
Now to ask the question burning on everyone’s lips: please, please, please tell us you never had nor ever plan on having kids ? Or if you do you’re determined to pre-emptively call CPS on yourself ?
You are aware the man would have been charged with a felony had the statute of limitations not run out, aren’t you?
Yes we know, it’s called “trolling”.

Unfortunately, that show was ultimately canceled when People magazine revealed RNATB wasn’t a lawyer yet, and hadn’t stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. He died a sad, broken man, lamenting the daytime Emmy that might have been.
Bricker went on to be the 48th President of the United States, and not only restored the dignity of the office* but also personally corrected hundreds of typographical errors in White House correspondence. Detractors named him the Proofreader-In-Chief, but praised his thoughtful and well-constructed prose and washboard abs.
As counsel at large for the ACLU, villa successfully argued that the First Amendment protected the right of citizens to engage in intercourse with garden vegetables, and that continuing to refer to baseball as the “national pastime” was just silly. He would later be present when Congress adopted a joint resolution declaring English Second Division football to be the new national pastime.
*thought to have been irretrievably damaged during the tenure of the 47th president, Joe the Plumber.
You know, I’ve noticed that the way to argue for some seems to be to rely on faux wit/failed snark as if that somehow makes your argument, and I use the term lightly, any better. It doesn’t. It just makes it all the more laughable, because it shows that you lack the intellectual fortitude to defend your position. But I digress.
As I asked some poster I can’t remember the name of and Guinastasia prior, are you mad because the judge beat his daughter or because of the manner in which he beat her. The two are entirely separate issues. Judging from your post, you’re mad* because* he beat her, not because of the manner in which he beat her, in which case, the faux outrage over how he went about doing it is just that-- faux outrage. You seem to believe that corporal punishment is bad and that it’s all the same. I happen to disagree. I find there’s nothing wrong with physically disciplining your child, so long as it’s within reason and you do not inflict physical injury to that child. To somehow insinuate that being beaten with, say, a crowbar* is the same as being beaten with, say, a belt is intellectually dishonest. One of those is a common disciplinary tool while the other is not and if used to strike someone, can cause broken bones and internal bleeding.
…Oh, and I love the hyperbole. Can’t seem to get enough of those.
Indeed, I do. I bet that just tears you up inside, right? That’s glad to know.
Why should I? …Oh, oh, oh wait. Because I favor corporal punishment, right? Well, not that this is important or anything, but you do realize that last I saw, around 90% of parents with a toddler engage in some form of corporal punishment and that around 60% of parents with a school-age child use some form of corporal punishment, correct? I guess I can expect CPS to be SUPER busy for the forseeable future.
1.) I think you might want to read what I typed out again.
2.) But how do you know that as true? Personally, given the area he is in, I find that a convenient excuse to placate the masses of angry people without having to dish out discipline. It’s a win-win situation.
Uh-huh. Weird how “You disagree with me” = “troll”.
*Giving an example.
