I see.

I'm sorry if I bothered anyone by calling Ron Paul a socialist. I think a better explanation might be that I believe him to have very unrealistic views. In my mind, given my upbringing exclusively around wealthy white neoconservatives in the old Confederacy, I kinda had a warped view of the beliefs of minorities or people who are less well off.

I'm trying to work on it though.

That's cherry picking. The average Shanghai resident has about the same wealth as the average Italian. Seoul is 1st world. Bangkok is developing. Culture is hard to quantify, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who'd rather live a traditional peasants life (because that's what most of these people were doing 50 years ago) over a homogenized global existence.

This is a real beauty.

Just because you dislike it doesn't make it false.

When are people going to realize Santander isn't actually a terrible person and just says those kinds of things to incite reactions from people?

If you derive joy from pissing everyone off, you're a terrible, or at least incredibly immature, person.

Gentrification is only a problem when sufficient housing isn't constructed.

Oh my God. I work in land use. It's a proven fact, yet left wing NIMBYs seem to think supply and demand doesn't apply to land use.

The "joke" is utterly beaten to death and clogging up and ruining what should be an interesting thread. Ideally we'd have another thread...to cover those polls without that stupid "joke" spamming up every page and making the thread unreadable.

The BRTD asylum for anal and obsesisve posts?

I never said you should have been physically abused. Not everything that makes you upset is abuse. The sooner you learn that, the less whiny you'd be. I guarantee that.

How about not blatantly lying and low key gaslighting?

Yes, we wouldn't want to deny extended family the right to physically abuse children, would we.

Ah look, the case in point for why it should be acceptable for responsible adults to spank their children.

Spanking isn't physical abuse. As I already said, just because something upsets you, doesn't make it abuse. Get over yourself, Scarlet.

Yeah, a lot of things that upset people aren't abuse. Being hit by one's parents isn't one of them.

Take your omg abuse sob stories to some other snowflakey place. Just because you got spanked a few times and got called a "little sh*t" once doesn't mean you were abused. That's just being an average kid. 

That is definitely not normal and it is not okay. That behavior is absolutely abuse, and law enforcement should absolutely step in against it. It is truly inconceivable to be that you might think that. Are you in denial that perhaps your parents were bad people? Also, in regards to a few posts up, uncles/aunts and grandparents should (like anybody) be prohibited from spanking, but  also have no authority to discipline any of their respective nieces/nephews or grandchildren.
