I can see him driving his Lambo or McLaren down to the wrong side of Houston for a payday loan at 45% interest, compounded hourly. How much is your check AP?

45% would be a bargain -- Ace Cash Express is > 600% APR in Texas: https://www.acecashexpress.com/uploads/files/products/payday/internet/rates/TX_FeeSchedule.pdf?_cchid=45c8a81597e59daea2a51a83dc548244

Fuck me. That’s crazy. All this talk about free college is stupid. Let’s just teach personal finance starting in kindergarten. My 7 yo granddaughter has zero concept of money. A dime, quarter, $100 bill mean nothing. Her parents are frugal and manage their money way better than I ever thought about.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

The ears of a child are located on his rear.

I’m not much into biblical study anymore (at one point I was deeply interested in it) but with all due respect this passage is one of the most grossly misinterpreted passages in the Bible. Here’s an article on the ancient hewbrew language and the original meaning of that passage.

The word rod is the same as scepter and that was carried by kings, priests, magistrates, judges, etc. it was not a tool for aggression. 

more analysis in the link but the conclusion with a careful word study:

I would not see this as beat him with a rod, but it would be more like examine his behavior with the authority of a wise king. 

With the epidemic of no consequences and no boundaries with kids, this resonates with me, always has. Parenting is a full time job and it can be done well without physical punishment, indeed the best parenting is done without it.

Yup. It turns out any violence of any kind toward children is bad. Like fucking really, really, really bad. 

people think that violence “tuffens people up” when in reality you are forever grinding away important and necessary parts of a persons psyche. Turns out beating your kid “tuffens” them up the same way female circumcision ‘tuffens up’ 12 yr old girls in Africa.

my heritage is Bavarian/Western Austrian and culturally they were tops when it came to harsh child discipline. Literally, could tell Ireland, Russia and N Korea to hold their beir. However, their ideal for a boy as a child was arrogant, aggressive, confident and dominate. Basically a bully and their discipline molded that.

I remember when I was 3 and I would stay over at older family’s house in the morning I would walk in to the kitchen and climb up on old grandpa like man’s lap and start eating his breakfast. If he didn’t want me to, I kicked him in the shins until he let me. They thought that was the cutest thing ever. When we came to the States my dad said that they got me out of Germany just in time.

I have a good friend who has I think 12 or 13 cash stores. If you ask him what he does for a living he will tell you “I loan money to people who can’t do math”.
