Maybe I'm too dumb to even realize it, and no, I really don't like talking about my childhood, but yes, I absolutely was "spanked" (though that doesn't begin to describe it) as a child, and only now am I beginning to fully realize the effects it might have had on me as an adult. I already knew that it effected my emotional make-up, causing insecurities, fears, and all sorts of other unmentionable -isms and phobias. But apparently, according to recent "scientific research," it affected my IQ as well!
Hey, maybe I should thank my folks... now I have a reason for being "dumb." I have an excuse! I can stand up proudly and admit to being a little slow! No more pressure to live up to my "expectations." Wow! This sure makes me feel better, lol.
The hardest thing for my stupid brain to grasp about all of this recent research is WHY they needed scientific research to prove such a thing in the first place... and WHO in their right mind (without a personal agenda of their own) would even propose such an idea for study?
Oh, well, all this higher thinking has strained my poor brain. I need to go rest now, lol.

I'm gunna rest too. I'm scratching my head too...maybe...I thought I read somewhere that coffee can raise your IQ. So perhaps in some cases things even out?
It seems to me there are better things to study all together.

sheesh, well, I'm glad YOU've got an excuse... but, what about ME???????

If these were 'real' scientists, what kind of study did they do and how did they establish a baseline? Who did they saw was 'average' to start out with? Was this a 'double blind' study and for how long did they follow/stalk people.
"Excuse me, sir. Did you get spanked? How? Why?........"
Just imagine the looks -
"Look, buddy! I said NO!"
'Freak! Hell, yes! Why?'
And, who 'funded' this study? After all, someone had to PAY for people to do this. Hmmmmm.
Hmmmm... how do you explain me then? I was spanked (and then some) and I have an above average IQ and as a kid it was at the genius level. I must be a freak of nature! LOL
