Default Re: NGJ New Addition to To Train Up a Child

Research supporting spanking? Sounds like a hoax to me. I wonder what the research methods have been. Surveys? Observational methods, with or without participation? Intervention techniques? Longnitudial studies? Statistics do not just pop up into being. Before any statistics can be produced, data has to be collected and analyzed by some decent methods. This seldom goes by unnoticed. If someone is really doing a large scale survey on the benefits of spanking, someone somewhere must have noticed that something like that is going on. Have you? Has any of you heard about such studies? And if nobody has seen or heard anything, it must be a very small scale survey. Small scale surveys do not have much scientific value. It is not very convincing if someone interviews five spanking families and states that 95% of them were either quite happy or very happy...
I would not be surprised at all if we would find out there has not been any research at all and that all "results" are fabricated. And I'm certain that nobody has asked the small children anything about the benefits of spanking. How was it? What was the appropriate "glue stick age", according to M&D Pearl? 10 month? I'm sure the point of view of such young children is not represented anyhow in any "research".

Yep, and false statistics also do exist. If you feed false data to an Excel program you can make very nice curves, tables and diagrams that do nothing else but lie.

By the way...the article is quite hilarious some times. "I conducted an informal research...". Sounds convincing, does it? And how about this: "All presidents of the United States, including Obama, were spanked as children, as were nearly all senators, congressmen, and military commanders". I don't understand what's exactly the point. Are the presidents, the senators and congressmen such great role models? Or does M. Pearl try to say: "if you wan't your little boy to become the next president or a senator at least, spank him!" Or is it a message to the kids themselfes? "Johnny, would you like to become a President of the United States, just like Obama? Well, that's cool, Johnny my boy, and if you are properly spanked, who knows how far you can get."
