It's sort of how if you hold a slinky on one end hanging down, then drop the slinky, bottom will not start falling until the top reaches it. In a sense, bottom will be hanging onto nothing. But of course that nothing is tension from the top of the slinky.

It's weird to say that light travels faster than information, because light is information. In other words, top speed for information IS speed of light.

Their hat/house is literally trash though.

It's a communist thing. Fair distribution of wealth and suffering.

I vote for fair distribution of suffering, instead of to just 100 people.

Sure, but that's not at all what we are discussing here. We are discussing the perception and overall approval of corporal punishment in conservative cultures.

And while methods that can actually inflict permanent damage to children would be perceived negatively even in conservative cultures, slaps would be approved by most.

Oh, I know that guy, that's Rice Pilav.

Downvoting problems away. The Lemmy equivalent of "1 like = 1 prayer"

I would say that physical abuse like that is not comparable to a slap. Much fewer people, even in a conservative culture, would approve of disciplining a child that way. Majority would approve of a slap.

Besides, just because you turned out different doesn't mean that majority will, too. I've been belted my entire childhood, but I personally wouldn't do it. Doesn't mean it's become uncommon in general. Usually, people take after their parents.

That's not how it works. If the society tells him that he wrong and rightfully punished, kid will likely just accept that reality.

Edit: what the? Why am I downvoted? I suppose you guys haven't lived in middle-eastern countries.
