I was beat...is that the same as spanked?

9/25/2009 11:41:45 PM

haha whoever wrote this shit must have been spanked a lot b/c it definitely wasnt written by someone with a high IQ

9/25/2009 11:47:59 PM

Research by the people that brought you the same group repsonsible for the 1974 "Disco lovers: hipper than ever"

fact is the younger the populous, the more likely the latest IQ scoring will reflect what researchers have produced: a product to make young people feel special. Sharing with the fact that parents are amazingly faggy nowadays and dont believe kids should follow any rules ever

if you could see the surprise on my face you'd just burst into flames i sware

well if i did something stupid i would get spankings....getting beat is something totally different....i was def. never beaten.

but I def. never did the stupid act after getting spanked for it!

9/25/2009 11:52:47 PM

add into the equation that it was the fucking crayon eating retards that got the beatings to begin with, and i think we MIGHT see a trend here

NEW STUDY "STUDIES FOUND TO SUPPORT RESEARCHER'S PRESUMPTIONS"

Dad only hit me upside the head with the whiskey bottle when I deserved it... I guess that was alot fo tim, however.

9/25/2009 11:56:35 PM

some might even say it was too much fo' tim

9/26/2009 1:16:06 AM

I'd buy it that my dad beat some intelligence out of me. But the gained >>>> lost.

9/26/2009 1:17:54 AM

i was spanked


i'm only stupid sometimes

9/26/2009 1:18:19 AM

i had a pretty high IQ (150) when i was tested at 4 yo.

then my IQ was only above-average (130) when i was retested in 8th grade.

i got a lot of beatings between age 4 and age 13.

that must be it.

9/26/2009 1:31:09 AM

I wasn't spanked THAT often. If often is defined as more than twice a day.

More like I had the shit kicked out of me every now and then.

And...if I felt like ponying up for it, I could be a card carrying member of Mensa. When I was evaluated for ADD many years ago, my IQ was pretty damn impressive. Hell, if it wasn't for the beatings, I might be a totally socially inept genius who has to have somebody wipe his ass for him.

The beatings made me the well-rounded person I am today. Thanks, Mom and Dad.

9/26/2009 1:31:30 AM

I got spanked only when I did something wrong or was acting up.................thanks mom for making me a better person.

9/26/2009 6:40:49 PM

yeah

and I'll be the first to admit that I'm a dumbass

9/26/2009 6:42:40 PM

I was spanked and my younger sisters were not.

One dropped out of high school, got her GED and plans on being a fashion designer in japan, the other is planning on becoming a tattoo artist.

I think I'm doing ok

9/26/2009 6:45:05 PM

Yep, but not quite often. I was a goody goody


Any any of my children will be when they misbehave too

9/26/2009 6:53:53 PM

you could read these findings several other ways and question the relationship, and why the findings are what they are.

9/26/2009 6:55:26 PM

wow by an entire 2.8 points

9/26/2009 7:13:14 PM

I was beat. I'd like to think that I'm more intelligent than most that I know who were not.

9/26/2009 8:07:56 PM

i went to a middle school in Alabama that fucking paddled the students

ain't that some backwoods shit?

9/26/2009 8:09:05 PM

^Omg that's terrible...is that legal?

I was never really spanked...but maybe once?

9/26/2009 8:12:10 PM

stupid people are more likely to have stupid children
stupid kids are more likely to get their stupid little asses beat
seems reasonable enough

9/26/2009 8:12:22 PM

I got spanked a lot as a kid. I also pushed the limits at every opportunity as a kid. I knew when i was doing wrong and that I'd get a beating but I chose to do it anyway.

I was tested in 3rd grade at a 169 IQ, and at a 152 like 8 years ago

9/26/2009 8:27:55 PM

so, in other words... stupid kids get spanked more.

9/26/2009 9:15:01 PM

correlation not causation

9/26/2009 9:39:09 PM

once, just once.

9/26/2009 9:39:49 PM

yes


and I liked it

9/26/2009 9:41:36 PM

9/26/2009 9:41:49 PM

not very often

9/26/2009 9:41:53 PM

yes, but probably not enough

9/26/2009 9:42:26 PM

this is some bullshit right here

the graph is like a million outliers.

9/26/2009 9:44:14 PM

never punished as a child. both us kids turned out fine.

9/26/2009 9:45:12 PM

^^so basically, asians are smart and south americans are stupid?

[Edited on September 26, 2009 at 9:55 PM. Reason : &c]

9/26/2009 9:54:49 PM

On TWW, everybody has an IQ >= 150.

9/27/2009 9:24:49 PM

Never spanked but my brother was spanked and beaten because he was a red headed/ADD/bad motherfucker.

I was a little angel for the most part.

9/27/2009 9:33:46 PM

I got my ass beat plenty, and I'm a damn sight smarter than most.

9/27/2009 9:36:05 PM

If that Japan statistic is true, that explains why so many of the kids over here are psychotic little shits. They need to reinstate corporal punishment here.

9/27/2009 9:44:52 PM

i got beat like i owed my parents money and my iq's 148 .... i could have been stephen hawking

9/27/2009 9:58:26 PM

That's a pretty moderate correlation.

9/27/2009 10:00:14 PM

I received my last true spanking at about the age of six or seven. After that point I had figured out what not to do and guess what? I didn't do that shit anymore becaue my mom was a badass with a flyswatter and I wanted no part of that. In short, all of the asshattery had been beaten out of me by the time I was seven years old.

9/27/2009 10:18:45 PM

I wasn't spanked, more like beaten.

I kid, i keed

9/27/2009 10:20:45 PM

I wasn't spanked a whole lot (I got threatened with it though ) but I did stupid shit like shave my tongue, hide in clothes racks in the store, and jump off our trampoline into our pool.. What does that say about me?
