i think the word nymethus was looking for was CHRISTIANS, or SOUTHERERNS
You have insulted me twice with this one statement, with it being a very inaccurate stereotype of two different groups, and I just happen to fall in both. Even then, I have never seen anyone who beat their children, and therefore can assure you that neither Christians, nor Southerners (Yes, that's how it's spelled, not "Southererns") do not, with rare exceptions, beat children. However, there will be exceptions to any moral in every group, and therefore no one can claim 100% that any group in America they belong in does not beat children.
