How many of you have ever had a long day of work and then gone grocery shopping, to only hear an undisciplined child throwing the worst tantrum near the check-out counter?
You can always tell the followers of new-age parenting cult. They try to reason with their children; gently asking them to 'Stop, Johnny, or time out." The worst is when you see a father allowing his children to disturb public peace and betray his authority in such a manner, all in the company of onlookers.
God's law states that a man's place is at the head of his household, and from the head comes the orders for the body to follow. Just like the body must be whipped into shape, so at times must a father's wife and children when they may test the waters by betraying their house leader's God-ordained authority.
At times one's wife may need a reminder when she talks back. "No," a responsible father and husband will say, while gently rebuking her with perhaps a reinforcing gentle Godly tap upon the cheek; "No." A few firm and swift raps across the backside may be needed to silence the wild emotions of a crying child, who thinks whinging and pleading will get them free candy or other items they have not earned.
Thank goodness this vital lesson is not lost upon all generations:
Busted For Slapping Stranger's Crying Child
Georgia man, 61, threatened to "shut that baby up" at Walmart
SEPTEMBER 2–Meet Roger Stephens. The Georgia man, 61, was shopping Monday morning at a Walmart in Stone Mountain when he crossed paths with Sonya Matthews and her two-year-old daughter Paige. The child was crying, which apparently greatly perturbed Matthews. "If you don't shut that baby up I will shut her up for you," Stephens warned Matthews, according to a Gwinnett County Police Department report.
Moments later, Stephens acted on his threat, slapping Paige "across the face approximately four or five times." Though the child "started crying and screaming" after being struck, Stephens told Matthews, "See, I told you I would shut her up." After police were summoned, Stephens told a cop that the child was crying "and he just slapped her," according to the report. Stephens was arrested for felony cruelty to children and booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. Paige sustained "slight redness to the face," but was otherwise unharmed.
Discipline, respect and love: these are the cardinal virtues of paramount importance for every nuclear family.
You see, there was once a Golden Age for the American nuclear family. The bonds of unity so proud and strong, that no one dared whisper a cross word or feign disobedience to familial structure.
Nationwide, fathers would go work hard at their jobs, while their wives would tend to her natural duties of preparing her husband's kids for school and keeping his home in order during his absence.
The nation prospered and kids were successful. Divorce was unheard of and neighborhoods were not plagued with dark elements. Life was good.
Now children are undisciplined. Wives have abandoned their posts as provider of love and maid work for the home, leaving husbands to deal with unwashed dishes, unkempt children and home full of broken love.
Children try to feed their physical hunger with the Cheetos and tv dinners, which gives the same false sense of satiation as the television replacing the Mom's job of keeping the kids entertained for the afternoon.
Then we look around and wonder why kids are falling ill so often? Why all the violence and tantrums in stores, kids as young as five stealing and cussing their mothers?
Sure, we could blame it on gaming and modern media. Both are dragon-headed culprits that try to drag our children back down to the depths of hell. But there is something even more dangerous to our kids; careless parents who betray their natural duties.
I applaud Roger Stephens and if you have any decency, you will too. He took the responsibility of the father and slapped some discipline into an unruly kid. He defiantly stood up to the cult of new-age absentee parenting, where Fathers fail to disciple their children and let their wives run off living a feminists dream of galloping whoredom.
America was founded upon a Christian tradition and it is time for us to embrace our heritage. Marriage is ordained by God and the family is the ultimate gift of every marriage. Fathers, train your family in the path of glory and righteousness. Do not make our elders step in and risk trial at the hands of a liberal-hijacked penal system.
Take a firm hand and take charge of the direction of this country. Tomorrow for your children and grandchildren depend on it. God bless and let us remember Mr. Stephens for his heroic deed and braveness in the face of liberal adversity.

First of all, that man had absolutely no right to slap that kid. She wasn't even his daughter or granddaughter. How the hell can you condone this?
'At times one's wife may need a reminder when she talks back. "No," a responsible father and husband will say, while gently rebuking her with perhaps a reinforcing gentle Godly tap upon the cheek;' Oh yeah, that's exactly how a husband should treat his wife, by slapping the hell out of her.
'America was founded upon a Christian tradition'
No it wasn't. Go research this. Some of the founding fathers weren't Christian at all. America was founded upon the belief that every person has the right to practice whatever religion he/she wishes without being persecuted.

wow – Tyson – the majority of pedophiles are not gay- they are mostly men abusing little girls. It does happen that some men abuse boys and some women abuse girls and boys, the latter being less common. But seriously – Kaycee Dougard's abductor who got her pregnant twice was not homosexual.
what is wrong with the proponents of this website? What is wrong with the authors and contributors to the content of this website? It's like a foreign planet – and I am a Christian.
Someone said this was from the Onion – I was hoping to find this website was just a satirical paraody of extremist fundamentalists bible belt culture – then I realized the comment was referring to the article – the 61 year old man slapping a baby in walmart was either an Onions story – made up for comedic purposes, or it is similar to one.

Everyone, this is a joke site, and you still managed to knock the Catholic church around some. That's not very "Christian" do you think? Sure there was a few priests that did wrong, however those were individual people, not organizations. And if a priest is gay, there's nothing against homosexual orientation in the bible, simply homosexual acts. If you want anyone to believe you back your statements up, don't fall for this site.

Seriously, read the Bible, people. It's not about endless lists of do's and dont's. That's what we call "legalism" and it's why Jesus mourned the fate of the Pharisees. He knew they weren't saved because they had no love, despite their strict adherence to moral codes.
Use the Biblical example of co-submission in marriage (see Ephesians 5:22-28). Oh, I'm sorry, did I just suggest that you practice some real love, not just follow the corrupted dogma of most "churches" (especially the Catholic one)? After all, "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." (1 John 4:8)

If those who claim to be Christians would actually follow what the Bibke says and not just pick and chose what they wanted it to say there would be no debate. Way to many Americans claim to be Christians but make their own rules instead of following Gods law.
This guy who slapped the child may have been out of line with the child that was not his but the artice is great. I agree with the author. The bible does say that we as arents must teach our children to oby their parents and elders. It also says that it is ok to give the child a swat,,,,, not beat them,,, There again following Gods law from the Bile not making your own rules….

Why do people keep saying this site is satire? Admittedly this may be true in some cases but there are also some seriously fucked up evil hate-filled bastards on this site (I'm looking at you Blogger Billings).
Do you believe Fred Phelps, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Ted Haggard and all those other hatemongers are being satirical?
People keep quoting Poe's law (Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing). The reason for this is that it is impossible to parody fundamentalist beliefs, they are already off the fucking scale.
So can people please stop saying this site is satirical unless you can offer proof, if you can't I'm just gonna continue to assume that it is run by Christian extremists who believe Jesus' message was "hate everyone and everything".

Ah yes, the 1950s, the Golden Age… comic books, "Leave It To Beaver," teenage pregnancies at a historically unparallelled high… Wait, what?
You read that right. Even today, less kids are getting pregnant than they were in the 1950s. This is not talking about abortion, it doesn't even factor into this statistic. Regardless of whether or not the pregnancy was terminated, there were MORE teen pregnancies in the 1950s than at any other time in history.
Do some research before you establish a "Golden Age." Also, "Bringing back morality one kneecap at a time"? Geez, sounds like someone's theology could do with a little less violence and a little more Jesus.

Dear Author:
The "Golden Age" that you praise so much is forever gone…
As you've said yourself "fathers would go work hard at their jobs"…
Unfortunately, nowadays, most fathers completely forgot that part, sitting lazyly at their couchs (doing absolutely nothing all day long) while their wives are the main and sole providers for the whole household. Being that, I think that maybe SHE should be the one reminding him of what HE was supposed to be doing (according to your Golden Age) by "gently rebuking HIM with perhaps a reinforcing gentle Godly tap upon the cheek" – DON'T YOU THINK SO?
What you've fail to see is that this sick and arrogant old-man couldn't even control himself in public, so how he expected a 2-year old child (that doesn't even speak yet) to be in control of herself? Would he also spank a newborn if he was crying?
God's will was NEVER violence, and that is why HE finished your so-long-gone Golden Age!!!
Just to finish: Your article was entitled "Older Gentleman Politely Slaps Stranger's Crying Baby at Walmart"… If you have any decency left on you, you would change it to a more appropriate title such as: "Old Man Spanks Stranger's Baby Girl at Walmart". If it have the same context as your original title, why doesn't it sound so nice now?

All I can say is what the world is wrong with you people? The only person with any sense on this website is Seriph0. I can't believe that a christian website would post such a skewed story. I'm sooo furious with this story that I can hardly see straight. I'll go ahead and say right now, if anyone ever touches one of my children like this man did – I'd be the one getting arrested. Anyone that defends his actions is a moron. And why did the author go into a rampage about the 1950′s? It's 2009. That was 49 years ago. I can't believe there are men that feel a woman's place is in the kitchen. I support my family because my husband is in college. I do it because I love him and my children and would do anything for them. The man that wrote this article is probably a divorced man with no children. Is this really who we want to be taking advice from??

THIS WEBSITE IS A SATIRE OF THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT WING NUTBALLS OUT THERE. That said, on the subject of pedophiles, here are the real statistics:
Sixty-seven percent of all victims of sexual assault reported to law enforcementagencies were juveniles (under the age of 18) 34% of all victims were under age 12.
One of every seven victims of sexual assault reported to law enforcement were under age 6.
8 out of 10 prisoners convicted of sexual assault had committed their crime against a victim under age 18.
Convicted rape and sexual assault offenders serving time in State prisons report that two-thirds of their victims were under the age of 18, and 58% of those–or nearly 4 in 10 imprisoned violent sex offenders–said their victims were aged 12 or younger.
Four data sets (the FBI's UCR arrests, State felony court convictions, prison admissions, and the National Crime Victimization Survey) all point to a sex offender who is older than other violent offenders, generally in his early 30's, and more likely to be white than other violent offenders.
On a given day in 1994 there were approximately 234,000 offenders convicted of rape or sexual assault under the care, custody or control of corrections agnecies: nearly 60% of these sex offenders are under conditional supervision in the community.
An estimated 24% of those serving time for rape and 19% of those serving time for sexual assault had been on probation or parole at the time of the offense for which they were in State prison in 1991. ( U.S. Department of Justice)
Sex offenders were about four times more likely than non-sex offenders to be arrested for another sex crime after their discharge from prison–5.3% of sex offenders vs 1.3% of non-sex offenders.
A 1994 National Institute of Health survey of 453 pedophiles, conducted by Dr. Gene Abel, showed these criminals were collectively responsible for the molestation of over 67,000 children. That's an average of 148 children per individual pedophile.
An estimated 5.1% (1 of every 20 persons) will serve time in prison during their lifetime. (Criminal Offenders Statistics)
"62.5% of 108,580 persons released from prison in 1983 were re-asserted for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years."
(Bureau of Justice Standards.)
"2/3rds of Sex Offenders in State Prisons had victimized a Child.' (Bureau of Justice Standards.)
"60% of 234,000 sexual offenders in 1994 convicted of rape or sexual assault were under conditional supervision in the community."
"The median age of the victims of imprisoned sexual offenders was less than 13 years old." (Bureau of Justice Standards.)
"4 in 10 inmates serving time in jail for intimate violence were on probation or parole at the time of the violent attack on the intimate (someone they knew)' (Criminal Offenders Statistics)
80% of inmates serving time in State Prison for intimate violence had injured or killed their victim." (Criminal Offenders Statistics)
"96% of female rape victims in 1991, younger than 12 years old, knew their attackers. 20% were victimized by their fathers or step-fathers." (US Department of Justice)
Children younger than 18 were the victims in almost 20% of the violent crimes committed by State Prisoners. 50% were 12 years old or younger. (U.S. Department of Justice.)
25% of prisoners who victimized children had prior convictions for violent crimes. (U.S. Department of Justice.)
Between 1976 and 1994, almost 37,000 children were murdered. 66% were less than 1 years old and 58% of those from 1 to 4 years old were killed by beating with fists, or blunt objects or by kicking. (U.S. Department of Justice.) "Family Members or Acquaintances commit most of the Child Murders." (Bureau of Criminal Justice Standards.)
1 in 5 violent offenders serving time in a State prison reported having victimized a child.
More than half the violent crimes committed against children involved victims age 12 or younger.
7 in 10 offenders with child victims reported that they were imprisoned for a rape or sexual assault.
Two-thirds of all prisoners convicted of rape or sexual assault had committed their crime against a child.
All but 3% of offenders who committed violent crimes against children were male.
Offenders who had victimized a child were on average 5 years older than the violent offenders who had committed their crimes against adults.
Nearly 25% of child victimizers were age 40 or older, but about 10% of the inmates with adult victims fell in that age range.
While nearly 70% of those serving time for violent crimes against children were white, whites accounted for 40% of those imprisoned for violent crimes against adults.
Inmates who victimized children were less likely than other inmates to have a prior criminal record–nearly a third of child-victimizers had never been arrested prior to the current offense, compared to less than 20% of those who victimized adults.
Violent child-victimizers were substantially more likely than those with adult victims to have been physically or sexually abused when they were children, though the majority of violent offenders, regardless of victim age, did not have a history of such abuse.
About 14% of child victimizers carried a weapon during the violent crime, compared to nearly half of those who victimized adults.
About 10% of violent offenders with child victims received life or death sentences and the average prison term was 11 years, somewhat shorter average sentences than received by those with adult victims.
3 in 10 child victimizers reported that they had committed their crimes against multiple victims; they were more likely than those who victimized adults to have had multiple victims.
3 in 4 child victims of violence were female.
For the vast majority of child victimizers in State prison, the victim was someone they knew before the crime.
A third had committed their crime against their own child, about half had a relationship with the victim as a friend, acquaintance, or relative other than offspring. About 1 in 7 reported the victim to have been a stranger to them.
Three-quarters of the violent victimizations of children took place in either the victim's home or the offender's home.
4 in 10 child victims of violence suffered either a forcible rape or another injury
The Statistics of Teacher sexual abuse to Students
The best estimate is that 15% of students will be sexually abused by a member of the school staff during their school career.
Though, when the American Association of University Women Foundation surveyed more than 1,600 students in eighth through 11th grade, 25 percent of the girls and 10 percent of the boys who said they had been harassed or abused said the harasser was a school employee.
The number of K-12 public and private school students in 1996 who have been or will be sexually abused by a member of the school staff is nearly 7 million of 51,331,000.
Between 1% and 5% of teachers sexually abuse or harass students.
At least a quarter of all school districts in the United States have dealt with a case of staff sexual abuse in the past ten years.
Most cases of sexual abuse of students by teachers are never reported.
In nearly half of the cases, suspects were accused of abusing more than one student.
Only two cases were cases of false accusations; less than 1 percent of the cases studied.
No type of school was immune to abuse: public or private, religious or secular, rich or poor, urban or rural.
Responses to Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Students by Staff
38.7% of the teachers resigned, left the district, or retired
17.5% were spoken to informally
15% were terminated or not re-hired
11.3% received a formal verbal or written reprimand
8.1% were suspended and then resumed teaching
7.5% were cases where the superintendent determined that the teacher hadn't meant to sexually abuse
Of the nearly 54% of abusers who resigned, weren't rehired, retired, or were terminated, superintendents reported that 16% were teaching in other schools and that they didn't know what had happened to the other 84%. All but 1% of these teachers retained their teaching license.
Teacher Student Sex Legalities
In 20 states, it is not a crime for school employees—including teachers, administrators, and coaches—to have sex with students aged 16 and over.
In 23 states, it is not a crime for school employees to have sex with students aged 17 and over.
In 45 states, it is not a crime for school employees to have sex with students aged 18 and over.
In 16 states, it is a crime for adults in a position of trust and authority—teachers, administrators, and coaches among them—to have sex with students under the age of 18.
Child Pornography and the Internet
It is estimated that 500 million people worldwide will be connected to the Internet by 2003.
There are an estimated 100,000 Web sites involved in some way with child pornography.
The U.S. Customs Cyber Smuggling Center in Fairfax, Virginia, has reviewed more than 10,000 tips since January 2000.
A 1999 U.S. Customs case revealed a child pornography Web site that in its first three months recorded nearly 150,000 hits and the download of 3.2 million images.
Since 1992, the U.S. Customs Service has arrested more than 1,000 people on charges related to child pornography. Customs has never lost a case that has gone to the judicial process — defendants have either pleaded guilty or have been convicted.
Almost 24 million children ages 10 to 17 were online regularly in 1999.
A survey conducted in 2000 of 1,501 U.S. children ages 10 to 17 showed that about 1 in 4 had had unwanted exposure to an image of naked people or people having sex in the previous year.
Roughly 1 in 5 children had received a sexual solicitation or approach.
One in 33 children had received an aggressive solicitation, meaning that someone asked them to meet somewhere, or called on the phone, or sent them a regular e-mail, money or gifts.
Less than 10 percent of sexual solicitations and only 3 percent of unwanted exposure episodes were ever reported to authorities, including law enforcement agencies or Internet providers.
Arrests for possessing and distributing child pornography have been climbing steadily, in part because federal agencies are devoting more resources to the issue.
In fiscal year 1992, U.S. Customs recorded 57 arrests for possession of child pornography transported across borders, 48 indictments and 69 convictions.
By 2000, those numbers had grown to 320 arrests, 299 indictments and 324 convictions.

First of all i am appalled by this "Christian" website which is condoning this mans actions. I am a Christian man and put my faith in the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ I believe in family values and believe the man is biblicaly the head of the household but does not give the man a right to abuse his wife or children to uphold family values the bible states that the man is the head of the household and the wife must honor the husband and the husband love the wife like Christ loves the church but no were does the bible say to abuse your family or anyone else's. No place in this report does it say why the child is crying were I believe in spare the rod spoil the child i don't think that God meant hitting the child 4 or 5 times and definitely a child that is not even yours. I believe the owner of this website needs to look back on history when Madalyn M O'hare voiced her opinion and stomped her feet till she got what she wanted because she didnt want God in School or society and had prayer and biblical principals taken out of schools and since then the society has gone down hill the meaning behind separation of church and state simply means that the state cannot tell the church how to worship it does not mean taking God out of our society. When you take God out of everything you have satanic actions and that is how the society has gotten so bad! In closing I believe the owner of this website needs to read up on his biblical principals they also need to watch what they are condoning. Condoning the actions of this man under any circumstance is wrong and also I am not the judge of what they say but I believe as a Christian man it is my duty to inform those who are not aware of what the bible really says the spare the rod spoil the child scripture is in Proverbs chapter 13.

Jesus was a protector of little children and we should be as well.
We should not be crucifying Roger Stephens; we should strive to be like him.
Beating a child is not an act of hatred. God says that it is an act of love.
Prov 23:13: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die." 14: "Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell."
The mother's lack of godly parenting shows that she is obviously Methodist or a Jew. The Bible teaches that children are naturally selfish, hateful and cruel. If she loved her child in God's way then she would not have to rely on the kindness of strangers to discipline her child.
Proverbs 29:15 "The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother."
The idea that beating is in itself harmful is a false teaching from Satan himself that will eventually destroy the inner discipline of so many people that it will cause a breakdown of the social fabric that holds our culture together. We see it happening today as we watch. Christians find themselves forced to choose between obeying the law of the land or the law of God. However, God's word is always true. Raise your children according the Bible and God's will. Listen to what God says:
Prov 22:15: "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."
Children who are not disciplined grow up rebellious, have no respect for authority, and as a result find it difficult to willingly obey and follow God. This is even true of many homeschooled children.
Do you really love your children? Then show it by correcting them when they disobey. Correct them by beating them. Show them how much you love them.
Hebrews 12:11 "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
A good Christian beating makes a child more ready to accept salvation and prevents him from becoming homosexual.

Reply to "rightness" comments:
Can you imagine if every person that was at Walmart at the moment that that little child was crying, decide to act with the same "kindness" that this sick-old guy did, and started to slap her face (just "4 or 5 polit slaps")?
Accordingly to you "Children who are not disciplined grow up rebellious, and have no respect for authority". This child was not his to be disciplined! He probably never had a child of himself and that is why he knows nothing about education and discipline of a young child – especially a 2 year old child!!!
God teaches us love, humanity, respect… (God is not a punisher, someone that sits with a whip in his hands waiting for our first mistake to have us beaten up – that is devil, not GOD!) If you start acting above the law, because you believe that "this is how it is in the scriptures", then Religion looses its place to become Fanaticism.
…Maybe this Mr. Stephens wasn't disciplined in what you think is the "correct way" when HE was a child… I hope that this sick Mr. Stephens will be disciplined by someone of his own size when he is in jail!!!

As you so rightly say: "God teaches us love, humanity, respect…" and it would not require "every person that was at Walmart to slap the child" if the parent respected other shoppers by not imposing their disrespectful child on others.
The Bible teaches that you show hatred toward children by not correcting them. Proverbs 13:24 – "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." To withhold the rod of correction is to demonstrate hatred for your child. You are saying, "Go on; head for ruin and destruction; I don't care." At an early age she is teaching her child that it's OK not to respect others.
You are either preparing your child to receive Jesus as Saviour or you are placing hindrances between him and God. Yes, salvation is still a personal experience. You cannot save your child by correcting him. He can still reject God's offer. But your beating (consistent correction over a period of years) has the ability to make him more open to the gospel. Just as the lack of discipline makes it harder for him to trust in the Lord and submit to Him.
You confuse God and the devil. God punishes bad – the devil rejoices in it. You also seem to put the man-made law of the land above the law of God. Mr. Stephens will not be the first or last man to be put in jail for following the word of God. The country has turned it's back on God to the point where we can no longer even stone adulterous woman to death, let alone beat-up screaming children in shops. I despair!

If Parents where not so god damn glued to a cellphone and trust me i see too many with a bluetooth dangling out the ears texting etc to know noone is innocent so shut the f up and say ya dont . ya do and thats bad . these parenst need to get off the damn phone and smack ya kids around when they get out of line. its no wonder we have a messed up society where kids run all over thier parents and stuff. if you cant be bopthered to disapline ya kid in public or private ya have no rights to have kids and should be sterilized from creating anymore and ya kids taken away. end of story
smacking ya own kid is not a crime the hell with what society says . its all touchy feely these days. personally i think if a parent has a child get out of line in public they should be arrested ojn the spot for they are rsponsible for thier kids actions till they are 18 so that means if ya kid gets caught smoking pot ya in jail for them and see if ya stupid unruly kid can keep ya house for while ya paying for ya kids mistakes causwe ya didnt have the balls to correct ya kid when they were making what should be a great day for someion into a lousy experiance

YOU (THE AUTHOR) ARE A NUT JOB! NO DARK THINGS? They were there, just men kept them behind closed doors. Many took the Godly role of husband and father and used it to their own sick desires. Women had to get out and support the family because the "leader of the home" was a drunk abuser. Now, there were many who did it the right way. THere are still many now that do. But the majority of women have to be sinlge parents. God took a rib from ADAM'S SIDE, not his foot or anywhere else. His side. For the wife to be his partner, his equal. God made men and women to be partners, with each having gifts to complement the other. Two halves of a WHOLE

"At times one's wife may need a reminder when she talks back. "No," a responsible father and husband will say, while gently rebuking her with perhaps a reinforcing gentle Godly tap upon the cheek"
Any "tap", not matter how light, if it is meant to discipline, is wrong, ESPECIALLY when you're doing it to a grown person. It's bad enough to hit your children, but thinking that you have authority over another grown human being is wrong.
"Discipline, respect and love: these are the cardinal virtues of paramount importance for every nuclear family."
This man was not a member of that family, nor did he display respect or love for them, therefore he had no right to display discipline.
"while their wives would tend to her natural duties of preparing her husband's kids for school and keeping his home in order during his absence."
"Her husband's" kids? Um, they're more the mother's kids than the father's, considering how it's the mother who carries them for nine months, endures childbirth, then breastfeeds.
"Divorce was unheard of and neighborhoods were not plagued with dark elements."
Dark elements? Are you referring to black people, you racist shit?
"He took the responsibility of the father and slapped some discipline into an unruly kid."
But he WASN'T the father!
"let their wives run off living a feminists dream of galloping whoredom."

I do plan on being married, but I do not wish to have children. I plan on having children through adoption and foster care instead. Are you telling me that God disapproves of my choice? That's funny since the Bible has many adoptions, one of the most prominant being that of Moses' adoption. The Bible does not state that woman deciding to not have is going to hell. In fact, there is NOTHING in the Bible stating that. You are asserting an opinion, silly and even almost funny (you are just a mere human, Adam Nelson), but definitely useless. Not sure why you give an opinion when you already write and troll for the Onion anyway…. How much do they pay you? I'd like some of that salary too.

I have a two year old daughter, I do not spank her, or slap her, I do not resort to any violence when it comes to my child. I have other means of discipline that work quite well, and my daughter is extremely well behaved, has excellent manners, and is very respectful. I get compliments on her behavior everywhere I go. I do not hit her, and I never would. Parenting is about love, understanding, support, and consistency, with those intact discipline never has to come to blows. If you have to resort to abuse, then you are the problem, not the child. Hitting is lazy and disgusting, and if anyone ever put their hands on my child in such a manner, I think I would be able to control myself, but I would make damn sure they rot in jail! And I am soooo happy this old man is doing just that! Do you know what happens to child abusers in jail, I have a friend that is a prison guard, so I do, and that makes me feel alot better about all of this, he WILL get whats coming to him, no doubt!

Anonymous, most people know it is a satirical website. However, there are people reading this and BELIEVING it. It WILL inspire those fundamentalists (they aren't Christians, just power-hungry scum) to become violent. One day, I was on my way to class on univerity's campus, and one of those fundamentalists tried to attack me for NO REASON. I was riding a mountain bike and the guy tried to gouge out my eyes and tell me to ride a "feminine" bicycle. There is no such thing as a "feminine" bicycle.
Now I understand sarcasm and even being satirical like Colbert. However, people will STATE (even Colbert) that it is ALL satirical. THIS website has no disclaimer stating, "If you don't like the funny shit we write, gtfo!" Instead, they write about slapping a soft-headed child (skulls do not fuse fully until the age of 8, which means that man could cause that child a hematoma, KILLING that child) and how it's okay for perfect strangers to hit each other, especially children. Sometimes, this site is funny. LIke that funny post about girls butts slamming into guys face. I died of laughter. I am not laughing at someone saying, "Politely slapping" (there is no such thing)is okay. Now I read that article. It says that guy hit the kid 4-5 times. There was no "slap" but SLAPS! This site has stopped being funny since it is now sticking to its stories about abuse towards children.
THere is no naivete amongst people trying to protect children. Trying to elevate yourself up by stating what everyone else is in your mind, just makes like the rest of the sheep. Baa baa. Get over it. People will protect others and children if there is a possible danger. I am seriously considering reporting these people to the authorities, if it comes to it.

Corporal punishment, especially against an infant is sinful and against God. My mother was punished regularly that way and now she's 58 and she's still messed up. She never recovered, because her grandfather and father kept on hammering her, and everytime she thinks i screwed up she keeps telling me "You're lucky I don't beat your sorry ass" It's against God and man. A polite slap against an adult, perhaps, if the guy was a dick, perhaps, but against a child, an INFANT of all people?

Actually, what these guys fail to realize is that women have long been outside of the kitchen. Men have been chefs for ages (Mayans and many other cultures, had men as the cooks) and that women worked the fields in almost all cultures. There are also places around the world where women were the ones in power and men servants of those women (check out the Tobriands).

Mexicans Back Military Campaign Against Cartels
As Felipe Calderón's term as Mexico's president draws to a close, Mexicans continue to strongly back his policy of deploying the military to combat the country's powerful drug cartels, despite public unease about the moral cost of the drug war. Meanwhile, a majority of Mexicans say they have a positive opinion of the U.S.
Crime and Drug Cartels Top Concerns in Mexico
Fewer than half of Mexicans say their government is making progress in its campaign against drug cartels. Still, an overwhelming majority continues to endorse the use of the Mexican army to fight drug traffickers, virtually unchanged in recent years.
Mexicans Continue Support for Drug War
As drug violence continues to plague their country, Mexicans largely endorse President Felipe Calderón's campaign against drug cartels. Most also believe the Mexican military is making progress in the drug war, although they are less likely to hold this view now than was the case one year ago.

Frederick Douglass Book Prize
Over 200 guests braved a New York City snowstorm on February 25 to attend the Gilder Lehrman Center's Eleventh Annual Frederick Douglass Book Prize dinner honoring Annette Gordon-Reed, Professor of History at Rutgers University-Newark, Professor of Law at New York Law School, and Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard University. Gordon-Reed's award-winning book, The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family (W.W. Norton and Company), examines the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and the enslaved family of Sally Hemmings.
In further testament to the caliber of her scholarship, Professor Gordon-Reed also received the 2010 National Humanities Medal of Honor at the White House on the same evening as the Douglass Prize dinner and was unable to attend the Douglass festivities. However, attendees at the dinner enjoyed a prerecorded televised speech in which Gordon-Reed graciously accepted the award. Other highlights of the evening included a performance by soprano Marsha Andrews, tenor Robert Mack, and pianist Raymond Jones, and a special recognition of several students from Frederick Douglass Academy in New York City.
Robert Bonner, the 2009 Jury Chair and Professor of History at Dartmouth College, spoke highly of Gordon-Reed's work, commenting, "In Annette Gordon Reed's The Hemingses of Monticello, an enslaved Virginia family is delivered – but not disassociated – from Thomas Jefferson's well-known sexual liaison with Sally Hemings. Gordon-Reed's book judiciously blends the best of recent slavery scholarship with shrewd commentary on the legal structure of Chesapeake society before and after the American Revolution."
Bonner added, "The book's meticulous account of the mid-eighteenth century intertwining of the black Hemingses and white Wayles families sheds new light on Jefferson's subsequent conjoining with a young female slave who was already his kin by marriage. By exploring those dynamic commitments and evasions that shaped Monticello routines, the path-breaking book provides a testament to the complexity of human relationships within slave societies and to the haphazard possibilities for both intimacy and betrayal."
Professor Gordon-Reed, who grew up in still-segregated east Texas, became interested in Jefferson in elementary school after reading a children's biography of him, narrated by a fictional slave boy. At 14, she joined the Book-of-the-Month Club (concealing her status as a minor) to receive Fawn Brodie's biography, Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate Portrait. She continued her study of Jefferson's life at Dartmouth College, where she majored in History, graduating in 1981. She attended Harvard Law School, where she was a member of the Law Review.
The Frederick Douglass Book Prize was established in 1999 to stimulate scholarship in the field of slavery and abolition by honoring outstanding books. Previous winners were Ira Berlin and Philip D.

#### This section needs to be filled out.
Warning: The procedure described in the section is subject to change, as it is very stylized and thus a good candidate for further automation.
Modules distributed with XEmacs are placed in the `modules' subdirectory of the root of the source tree. Each module's code is placed in a separate subdirectory. The build infrastructure for a module consists of a `Makefile.in.in', a `configure.ac', and `install-sh'. `install-sh' is a constant, and may simply be copied from an existing module.
Most of the job of building a module is encapsulated in `modules/common/Makefile.common' and in `ellcc'. The module's `Makefile.in.in' normally needs only to define module name and version information, and include `modules/common/Makefile.common'. The `configure.ac' is very module-specific, and little can be said about its contents. However, since no logic that depends on XEmacs itself or other modules needs to be present, it is easier to write and maintain than if it were contained in the XEmacs distribution's `configure.ac'.
Modules can usually be trivially built in to the XEmacs binary. To make
this work, you need to duplicate the detection logic for any resources
the module requires in the top-level `configure.ac'. Since module
objects may be linked into modules or into `xemacs', instead of
adding library path and library information directly to some
`subsystem_libs' variable, you should add them to a
`module_libs' variable, which in turn must be added to
ld_libs_module in the section "Compute SUBST-itutable variables."
Furthermore, in `src/Makefile.in.in' you add rules to build the
object without the module wrapper, and conditionalize these and the
addition of the object to
objs on
HAVE_SHLIB. The right
way to do this is somewhat indirect. Study the integration of LDAP and
PostgreSQL for the details.

NPR: "For the L.A. band Lord Huron, there's far more to music than merely playing sweetly summery, rhythmically inventive pop. There's also an air of mystery: a desire to tell stories, play with identities and craft visuals to complement its sounds."
Lord Huron's gorgeous atmospheric pop is ideal for helping you transition from summer to fall. Frontman Ben Schneider's background in visual arts is reflected in Lord Huron's music, as one listen of their upcoming full-length album Lonesome Dreams instantly paints a lush and vivid landscape of the West.
In a recent interview with PORTALS, Schneider said he "approached 'Lonesome Dreams' as a series of frontier stories, an anthology of pulp western tales." Their latest video, which is more of a short film, for their single "Time to Run" reinforces that idea. The lush, cinematic Western is set in the Mohave Desert, and captures both the visual and narrative aspect of their music.
Lord Huron – Time to Run
The band has been touring across the country in support of Lonesome Dreams, which is due for release on October 9th on IAMSOUND.
Lord Huron plays MidPoint at MOTR Pub this Thursday @ 12am.

Lego -> Social and "Fictional" Software
By ColmSmyth on Sep 15, 2004
When I read Paul Lamere's blog 27 Stages of Lego Sorting, it reminded me of Douglas Coupland's wonderfully insightful book Microserfs which is about a group of developers (some of whom had major Lego phases, one of whom goes on to create a Lego masterpiece ;) who form a kind of geek commune around a company to develop a software application called "Oop!". The idea of "Oop!" was to provide a rich kind of virtual Lego set, with the ability to use, build and share smart mobile & reactive components (a bit like Lego Mindstorms), which could act like doors or lifts or game characters or Rubik's cubes or vehicles, and so on. Ok, pretty interesting idea.
But that started me thinking; that's not the first time I've seen a
software application described in a novel. Douglas Adams
in Dirk
Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
also outlines a rather amazing piece of software which is best
described by Douglas (2) himself:
'Well, Gordon assigned me to write a
major piece of software for the Apple Macintosh. Financial spreadsheet,
accounting, that sort of thing, powerful, easy to use, lots of
graphics. I asked him exactly what he wanted in it, and he just said,
"Everything. I want the top piece of all-singing, all-dancing business
software for that machine." And being of a slightly whimsical turn of
mind I took him literally.
'You see, a pattern of numbers can
represent anything you like, can be used to map any surface, or
modulate any dynamic process -- and so on. And any set of company
accounts are, in the end, just a pattern of numbers. So I sat down and
wrote a program that'll take those numbers and do what you like with
them. If you just want a bar graph it'll do them as a bar graph, if you
want them as a pie chart or scatter graph it'll do them as a pie chart
or scatter graph. If you want dancing girls jumping out of the piechart
in order to distract attention from the figures the pie chart actually
represents, then the program will do that as well. Or you can turn your
figures into, for instance, a flock of seagulls, and the formation they
fly in and the way in which the wings of each gull beat will be
determined by the performance of each division of your company. Great
for producing animated corporate logos that actually mean something.
'But the silliest feature of all was that if you wanted your company
accounts represented as a piece of music, it could do that as well.
Well, I thought it was silly. The corporate world went bananas over
Reg regarded him solemnly from over a
piece of carrot poised delicately on his fork in front of him, but did
not interrupt.
(aside: I think Douglas Adams had several important insights into
software, one of which is quoted at the end of an interesting article Autistic Social Software (not
really about autism, but about the ADD of software products and/or
developers who don't want to try to understand the social implications
of networked communication and collaboration; if you're into groupware
though, my single favourite groupware article is one that I read 10
years ago - What do groups need?
A proposed set of generic groupware requirements - it
offers an excellent synthesis and framework for evaluating groupware
requirements; gosh, back then I used e-mail to request a copy from one
of the authors Munir Mandviwalla; he kindly sent me a hardcopy which I
still re-read occasionally - great stuff, and now you can get it on the
ACM portal; both of these articles only go to show that creating truly
new forms of groupware is very hard)
I bet that's just the tip of the iceberg though in terms of creative software ideas in fiction; anyone know any others?

Wildcats ink another outstanding recruiting class
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- University of Arizona men's basketball coach Lute Olson announced Wednesday that three student-athletes have signed National Letters-of-Intent to attend the school and play basketball. The trio will report to the school in the fall of 2005.
J.P. Prince, Marcus Williams and Fendi Onobun each inked letters-of-intent during the first day of the November early signing period. Each of the players was ranked among the top 15 nationally at his position and in the top 75 overall.
"This is an outstanding recruiting class," said Olson. "All three guys bring great size, versatility and ability to the program and each should enjoy our style of play."
Prince, a 6-foot-6, 183-pound guard from Memphis, Tenn, is ranked as the No. 4 point guard prospect in the country by rivals.com. Prince, who preps at White Station High School, is a long and athletic player with great instincts for the game. He has led White Station to three consecutive Class AAA state championships. Prince is an outstanding passer who averaged 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 3.1 steals last season.
"J.P. is a great addition to program not just because of his ability, but because he is a winner," said UA assistant coach Josh Pastner, the lead recruiter for Prince. "People enjoy playing with him because he shares the ball. J.P. makes everyone around him better."
Williams, a 6-foot-6, 190-pound forward from Seattle, Wash, is ranked as the No. 6 small forward prospect by rivals.com. Williams, who preps at Roosevelt High School, averaged a state-leading 27.2 points per game and added 8.0 rebounds per game last year. One of the best wings in the west, Williams possesses a great jump shot and the ability to beat defenders off the dribble.
"Marcus is a versatile 6-foot-6 swingman who is very long," said assistant coach Rodney Tention, Williams' lead recruiter. "He's excited about joining the program and has put in a lot of work in preparation for an outstanding senior season. Marcus is a great team guy."
Onobun, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward from Houston, Texas, is ranked as the No. 13 small forward prospect in the nation by rivals.com. Onobun, who preps at Alief Taylor High School, brings a great physical presence to the court. He is a relentless rebounder and has a solid mid-range jump shot. Onobun averaged 15.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.2 blocked shots per game last season.
"Fendi is a big time athlete who plays above the rim," said Pastner. "He's been very loyal to our program with his early commitment and is as good of a rebounder as there is in the country."
The Wildcats, ranked No. 10 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, open the regular season on Tuesday, Nov. 16 against San Diego in the first round of the Preseason N.I.T. Tip-off in McKale Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. MST. The game will be televised by ESPN2.

Date: January 22 2013
England rugby star Mike Tindall and his royal wife Zara Phillips have enjoyed an extraordinary stroke of luck in the equine stakes.
The Queen's eldest granddaughter labelled her husband an "idiot" after he bid £12,000 ($18,215) for form-less Monbeg Dude at auction "without meaning to win".
"I knew nothing about him, hadn't checked the brochure and had my back to the ring," Tindall, the 34-year-old former England captain and centre, told British tabloid the Daily Star.
However, Tindall was wearing a smile as wide as the winning post after his new nag emerged the shock winner of the Welsh Grand National at the weekend.
The result has seen Dude's value rocket to an estimated £200,000 ($303,580).
But there are obviously no plans to sell the horse, with eventing Olympic medallist Zara to be recruited for training.
"Zara will take Monbeg Dude over the showjumping poles to improve his technique," Tindall said.
"The whole thing is just ridiculous. We are beginning to think we might do better than the Welsh Grand National."
The tale is sure to impress the Queen, 86, a lover of horses and racing.

Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 10/20/2012
In the singles round of 32, California's 17th-seeded Riki McLaughlan took down the Ducks' tenth-seeded Alex Rovello 6-3, 7-6 (1), while 11th-seeded Robin Cambier defeated California's 17th-seeded Mads Engsted in an extremely close match 6-3, 6-7(1), 7-6(5).
The first round of the singles consolation bracket featured Jeff Mullen taking down Fresno State's Sai Kartik 6-1, 6-4. Also competing was Brent Chin who fell to Eastern Washington's Tomas Aranquiz 3-6, 7-6(5), 1-0(8).
Three doubles teams competed for Oregon today. In the round of 64, Aaron Clissold and Daniel Sardu teamed up to defeat Sacramento's Oliver Anderson and Roy Brandys 8-1. Rovello and Daan Maasland won their match against San Francisco's Jonathan Knowlman and Nils Skaa 8-6. Chin and Michael Schaeffer unfortunately dropped their match to Fresno State's Jeremy Quiroz and Kartik 8-6.
In the doubles round of 32, the top-seeded duo of Mullen and Cambier easily won their match against Gonzaga's Jack Schoebel and Oliver Jamin 8-1. Oregon's other two doubles teams did not fare as well, however, as Clissold and Sardu fell to Washington's third-seeded duo of Kyle McMorrow and Marton Bots 9-7, while Rovello and Maasland lost a close one to Stanford's fourth-seeded duo of John Morrissey and Trey Strobell.
"We competed really hard again and played some pretty good doubles matches," said head coach Nils Schyllander. "We won some close matches and lost some close matches. I like the way we're playing right now. We're in position to make a good tournament very good if we go after it tomorrow again."
