Kane, The best proof that others in this newsgroup
have threatened caseworkers is some expressions of relief when one was killed in 1999? Ya got anything a little more CURRENT? Or specifically, to back up you assertion that I had made death threats? The closest you came to that was similar, as if the MUNCHKINS were guilty of plotting the murder of the Wicked Witch (death by house) simply because they sang the song "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" ?? Oh yea! When did you become a 21st Century spanker? I thought you were aganst all spanking! Why would you declare yourself a spanker in the title of this thread? Is that like the other thread where you declared yourself to be a habitual spewer of lies by making that assertion the title of your postings? Is the dementia setting in? |

I thought this was a RIOT!
Doan responded that it more aptly fits anti-spanking zealots. Kane responded that Doan was merely harassing! Even funnier is that this was posted by one of the anti-spanking zealots named Chris, under the TITLE of "Being a 21st Century Pro-Spanker" When did this Chris become pro-spanking enough to apparently speak FOR them? Or were Chris (and Kane) trying to put forth a misrepresentation of pro-spankers? I believe it's the latter. Chris wrote: Leon Festinger and a team of social scientists in 1957 studied the behavior of members of a UFO cult under duress when aliens failed to land on Earth as predicted. Some in the cult dropped out when the announced deadline came and went; others redoubled their conviction in the face of disconfirming evidence. Festinger wrote: "A man with a conviction is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point. "We have all experienced the futility of trying to change a strong conviction, especially if the convinced person has some investment in his belief. We are familiar with the variety of ingenious defenses with which people protect their convictions, managing to keep them unscathed through the most devastating attacks. "But man's resourcefulness goes beyond simply protecting a belief. Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose further that he has a commitment to this belief, that he has taken irrevocable actions because of it; finally, suppose that he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence, that his belief is wrong: what will happen? The individual will frequently emerge, not only unshaken, but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed, he may even show a new fervor about convincing and converting other people to his view." |
