I think so. It's one of those mass market books. And it's a reprint of an older book. It only smells strongly if I open it and sniff the inside. *insert euphemism here*

 

What book? Not relevant but .... now I'm curious.

It's one of the Witcher books. The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. 

I don't know how to quote over a page @Jess. But thank you. The bookcrack. That was the word I was looking for.

I hate new magazine smell, but I recently read if you get mag subscriptions, you can request odor free versions.

I dunno, I was spanked and turned out just fine! There's a way to do it that won't cause psychological damage. My dad was pretty good at letting me know why I was getting spanked and gave me lots of love after as well as what to do in the future to not get spanked again for the same thing! I will always be a proponent of spanking and yes I have read the research since it is a huge topic in psychology and I am a psychology major. We had a chapter about it in all of my child, infant, and adolescent psychology classes. Nothing is going to change my mind. My dad never abused me.

You didn't turn out fine if you think hitting kids is okay. If science won't change your mind, then you're not a good scientist. Your major is irrelevant, especially if you're willing to ignore 50 years of meta-analysis in your particular major, proving you are wrong. *shrug*

I find spanking extremely disturbing. Like, why the ass? Why is the ass acceptable? Because if a parent hit a child repeatedly over the head as punishment, it would be abuse? But ass hitting is okay?

No, silly. It's a great idea to teach kids to solve their problems with violence. That's how we create a better society!

Yeah I always found it weird. In literally every other context except diaper-changing and spanking, touching a child's ass is considered predatory.

Of course I am not a good scientist, I am not a scientist! lol. But I guess to each their own. Agree to disagree.

A good sexual spanking is right tho.

Woah, now, let's not get crazy. Psychology as a science is on shaky ground

A classic thread. I remember it... if not well, then at least fondly.

The more time I spend on Facebook, the more I think science is a shaky ground.

Spanking is great! Who doesn't want an excuse to slap their kids on the ass? /s

I love the smell of sarcasm

I love the smell of sarcasm

 

But not books?

[Jozie]

I think the best book smell comes from those books that have hard covers that use cloth threads. The older they are the better they smell

 

If you want to read: lol

Also, my dad never touched me with his bare hands. He used a belt. I know, to you, that probably doesn't make things better since we will never agree.  But he never physically touched me. It's even in the bible (for anyone who reads it lol, because I am not religious anymore) spare the rod, spoil the child. I think removing spanking from ways of punishing children has ruined the children of today! This is why children don't listen and think they can disrespect adults. In my young days, we didn't have all these problems with children acting out the way they do now. We would never think about standing up to our teacher and raising a hand to them. Children think they have more power over adults with all these laws and ways of dealing with children. It isn't working which is why our world is going to hell. All I know is, I always thought twice before doing something I knew was bad. It definitely taught me to behave and do the right things and not the wrong.

I sent you my feet on Facebook for science.

That's just the current climate of anti-intellectualism in the US. Try to ignore it.

Oh my goodness. Wouldn't you rather teach your child right from wrong on the basis of morals as opposed to fearing physical punishment?

[Dazz]

Do y'all not spank in schools over there anymore?

 

Nah but you can bet your ass is getting whooped as soon as you get home

Children aren't any worse than they were 25-50 years ago. Children are just more visible. There's so much wrong with this entire justification for spanking. The world isn't going to hell. Things are better in large for a lot of people than they were before.

My dad hit me with a belt until I was black and blue for being autistic and stimming. I didn't turn out okay. But yeah, spanking is totally fine. smh.
