According to CNN, a recent study has found that children who were spanked scored 5 percentage points lower on IQ tests, than those who were not!! Give me a break.
What I want to know is how they know for sure that those who scored lower weren't already 5 points dumber in IQ before they were even spanked?
Maybe that's why they were spanked in the first place: because they weren't smart enough to figure out how to lie their way out of it?
Spare me the sobs. "Time outs" didn't work with us and neither did "Go to your room!" We were so poor we had no room to go to!
In my day, some of our parents believed they were entitled to beat the hell out us with belts, ironing cords or switches! And none of us were the worse for it.
Today, they would have been arrested for child abuse.
But now that I think about it, I have always wondered why I have such a low IQ.... hmmmmmmm.

According to the CNN survey, it's a wonder I can speak English.
My mother was from the spare the rod, spoil the child school.
