  • Strong disagree from me. Using violence as a deterrent teaches kids that it’s OK to use violence against others in the future. Does it work immediately? Yes. Does it do long term damage? Also yes.

    The subconscious correlation between “being right” and “being the strongest” is a source of a huge amount of problems.

    I never once threatened violence or used any sort of violence against my kids, and they never used violence as they grew up.

    This is probably the real unpopular opinion though, I don’t expect many people to agree with me on this one!







  • I guess it depends on how you define stupidity.

    Distrusting governments and distrusting vaccines are totally different things. There is vast scientific consensus that vaccines work, if you’re antivax you’ve made a conscious decision to ignore that, which is stupid in my book. Distrusting government advice on vaccines, depending on where you are, may be totally justified.
