Is this a SPANKING issue?
Why was it posted ONLY to alt.parenting.spanking ???


Oh, maybe because spanking is falling into more and more disfavor,
with less of it going on.

And:

"The youngest teenagers (presumably those raised with the most modern
attitudes) show the biggest declines of all. Over the last 30 years,
rape arrest rates have fallen by 80% among Californians under age 15,
much larger than the 25% drop among residents age 40 and older."

The claim that "youth is running wild," has been around since it was
popular to claim it in ancient Rome.

The truth is the less corporal punishment the less youth crime, Greg.

Correlation does not imply causation..

Oddly you are wrong. In fact, correlation is one of the contributing
parts of findings of causation, but this is a popular comment to make,
and you made it.

Correlations, statistically examined reach the point of being accepted
as cause in many instances.

Premise: there is less youth crime currently than formerly.
It is equally valid to say:

No, actually it's not. There must be some logical reasonable
connections or connection.

The less corporal punishment the less youth crime

Violent crime, and other crime, has been causaly linked to childhood
"trauma." Trauma is what cp is about, and it's intent.

The more internet porn the less youth crime

The might actually be a connection. It should be examined.

The greater the violence in video games the less youth crime

Nope. This one has not been examined. Nice try though.

The higher the average planetary temperature the less youth crime

RIDICULOUS.


The higher the atmospheric concentration of CO2 the less youth crime
The higher the median family income the less youth crime
The greater the availability of consensual sex acts the less youth crime

All ridiculous, because there is no logical connection by correlation.

You must show a track of violence to crime. Spanking is a violent
act,and even the users would agree to that, but fight the use of the
language.

The point of CP is to cause PAIN. Causing pain is violent.


The trends have followed each other very closely.

It used to be, for instance, that while toddlers were spanked (they
still are) it tended to continue on into older age groups as well.

It no longer does.

Read up. Get educated. Learn the truth...or are you afraid you'll lose
all your biases?

You are to be commended. You did a great job, repeating like a parrot,
the claim of "correlation is not causation."

Problem is correlation is a very useful tool, IF it's used correctly.

Thanks for bringing this up.

I've said it before, though, and I will again.
