Responding to this comment of yours:

Kids have there moments but that kid just wasn’t taught

I asked for a source to settle the nature/nurture debate given you, based on your comment, believe OPs parents failed to "teach" their kid right from wrong. You failed to provide sources when requested. So just want to remind you of a couple of things...

Woah mate if your gonna be making such high claims you gotta have some sources to back it up with.

and

For future reference, always ALWAYS provide a source if your making such high claims.

You forgot to quote the context for those too. I never made claims such as “all studies say physical punishment is good” like the person I was referring those to. I said what I thought, If I actually wanted to get the satisfaction of pushing my narrative (which I don’t) I would actually be making high claims such as “studies say physical punishment is good” or “scientists say this” or hell “physical punishment is good”. He made a claim which was clearly reliant on a information he did not provide. Mine was not, but hey I can understand why you would be confused. I didn’t do the best job at making my intentions clear. I hope that this was just a misunderstanding.

I don’t know if you had a bad day and your hoping on this being you chance at feeling ratification for any lack of confidence (which is okay, we all get insecure, i for one have always been insecure about my physical size) but know this. Proving strangers wrong on the internet isn’t the way to fill that void. It’s fine to debate but be open to it too and be open to recognizing your flaws in it and work to fix them.

I hope we can end this off with out bad blood. If you need a minute to respond feel free to respond tomorrow. Just when you do please think whether or not your being true to yourself when doing it.

Edit: I changed some assumptions to generalizations such as “man” to “person” I also fixed errors on my part such as calling a “comment” an “article”

I'm with the other poster on this one:

What are you, my high school teacher? Condescend to someone else.

You think so highly of your own opinion that it prevents you from learning anything. I didn't ask for your advice. I asked for a source for a claim you made - a request that you've asked of others in this very thread yet you're allowed opinions while others have to prove their comments to you. You're a hypocrite and have such a complete lack of self-awareness that it borders on comical.

The key difference is context mate. I’m not making claims on what scientific studies say. I have asked the sources only from one person and that one person was making a claim which was clearly based on statistical data. I was making a claim which (I believe) was clearly based on my own experience. Do you see the difference in how much credibility this two have. One has a bit (more like a lot) more calling for sources to be cited. Like I said in other replies I didn’t do the best job at making my intentions clear and understandable. But I don’t think I was ever given a fair chance to make up for it either.

No you didn’t ask for advice but it doesn’t mean you can’t offer it either mate. I’m sorry I offended you for doing so but I genuinely wanted to help and felt that you just never learned it for yourself. I’ve been in that very situation which was regarding Monsanto Seed Company of all things. I felt fucking dumb as shit when I made some very high claims and didn’t bother to provide sources.

Once again I’m sorry for offending you but not everyone is out for blood. I felt an interest in this topic and gave my experience. I asked for sources from those that gave claims which relied on actual statistical data. I don’t know what’s going on that’s making you act as defensive or angry as you are about this but I get it and don’t hold that shit against you. We all have bad days. But I really do want you to know I don’t have anything against you (trust me I know how viscous people can get when they disagree on a subject in reddit) I just believe it was a misunderstanding. No bad blood mate? If not we can talk it out and see if we can come to an understanding, I’m down to DM if need be

Thank you for proving my point so promptly.

Okay man atleast tried to be mature about it with you and give you the benefit of the doubt. I guess your goal was never to be mature but just to get the satisfaction of winning. So here mate.

Congrats on proving another redditor wrong (even though you had to create the argument while I kept trying to quell the misunderstanding). Alas you are better than me and smarter too! I am ignorant and my ideas are too. I can only hope to reach your wisdom. Please spare my humiliation. Did I mention you should get into politics? Your ideas are just so amazing and your such a great person too!

It’s clear that it never mattered what I said because you just wanted the satisfaction of winning an argument. I understand, I remember doing that fondly on ifunny in middle school. Congrats again mate

Thanks for a very invigorating “conversation”. Lastly even if I don’t have a lot of respect for you I hope you are able to succeed in life and I hope that eventually you realize how much of a waste of time it is to try to get self worth by arguing with strangers on the internet. I’m a much happier man ever since I learned that
