No. It's a point-and-laugh-at-the-crazies compendium. What it's for is to provide humour, which is a pleasant subjective state elicited by something found to be funny. Why?

I think it's worn off.

To you, no doubt.

For many of the rest of us these dingbats are the gift that keeps on giving. Repeatedly. On an almost daily basis.

Yeh, I get that from some of the more extreme posts, but one wonders whether the idea isn't to insense rather than amuse. Also I credit it's readers with less intellectual pud than anyone on this site.

Secondly there are bizarre posts that don't seem to have survived transplant from other forums.
Maybe the people who do that want get a laugh out of those posts being out of context and I'm left feeling it's a bit of a sad pastime.

What context do you think this one came out from?
------'xx
When should a parent start using the rod of correction on a child that the Lord has brought into the family? There is no clear and specific answer to this very good question. However, it is my opinion that the correction of children should start as soon as the need for that correction is made manifest. Every discerning parent who has been blessed with a little child in his home realizes that his initial impression of the sweetness and the innocence of the child is in reality an illusion. A child very quickly demonstrates his fallen, depraved nature and reveals himself to be a selfish little beast in manifold ways. As soon as the child begins to express his own self-will (and this occurs early in life) that child needs to receive correction. My wife and I have a general goal of making sure that each of our children has his will broken by the time he reaches the age of one year. To do this, a child must receive correction when he is a small infant. Every parent recognizes that this self-will begins early as he has witnessed his child stiffen his back and boldly demonstrate his rebellion and self-will even though he has been fed, diapered, and cared for in every other physical way.
