      Huh? Every father in Arkansas got drunk and beat his wife and children senseless? REALLY? My dad and mom grew up in that era, my grandparents never got drunk and beat them. Oh, wait: that's because my parents are from Michigan. Yep, but if they were from Arkansas, then...! What a moronic comment Billy. Look, if your father beat you and your mother like that you have my sympathy. But to paint an entire era and people with your personal horror show? I know so many great people from Arkansas. Only an idiot would say what you said. Get help.

      @@lawrenceallen8096 Did I say that all fathers got drunk and beat their wives and kids? However, when I was a schoolkid in Arkansas and North Carolina, beatings were commonplace at home and in the schools. I'm 66 now, so no need to lecture me. Perhaps your world was different than mine. Congratulations. If you want your comments to be appreciated as intelligent, don't resort to personal attacks. It makes you look like an idiot. You will never win over anyone with a hateful and uninformed attitude. Get an education about the old school methods of child rearing. Spare the rod, spoil the child... that was a common saying back in the day. Including such comments as, "Wait till your father gets home" and "behind the woodshed". They held serious weight once upon a time. So get real. Get informed before you go spouting off about your comfortable and privileged life.

      @@wbwilhite A father grounding and pounding his wife and son bloody. That's what the movie short showed. You said "that's exactly how it was back in the day." Your words. REALLY? Yeah, our dad got out the strap: hell! He had 3 boys to take care of. But it was for more show than actual corporal punishment, no bruises, temporary red marks. And it worked! But no, he didn't sit on mom and ground and pound her like some MMA fighter, for crissake! Nor us boys. No father of anyone I knew, either. Yeah, sadly it happened to some family, somewhere, some place, sometime. Of course. But "That is the way it was in the day." COME ON! PU-LEEZE! Look, Billy, even Socrates said "I love being corrected. It helps me replace my mistakes with truth." If Socrates can admit that, don't you want to take another crack at : "that's exactly how it was back in the day."

      @@lawrenceallen8096 Your family was likely less violent than others. Deprecating the experience of others who weren't as lucky as you proves nothing. It simply proves that your surroundings were not the same as many other Southerners, especially in rural areas or small towns. That's all that means. Lucky you. Give this topic a rest, Larry. BTW... corporal punishment was heavy when I was a kid, at home and in school. It still continues to this very day with the support of local communities aka parents. When I was a kid, common reasons to be paddled by the teacher (or whipped with a leather strap by the principal) included such things as being tardy, talking out of turn, disrespect for teachers or the flag or God, going to the restroom without permission, missing school without a proper excuse or parental note, etc. And in case my other reply was deleted, don't forget about the heavy use of the N word and segregation. I grew up in that era, so I remember it quite well. How about your grandparents? Have they no memory of what it was really like in the good Old South?

      @@wbwilhite It was not common, nor "The way It was back in the day" as you described, that fathers would ground and pound their wives and children as depicted in this movie short...south, north, or on the moon. EVEN in the Middle East, where violence against women is commonplace, it isn't "The way it is" there either. I tried to give you a face-saving way out of your ridiculous statement, but evidently you think you're smarter than Socrates.

For example, the Type 99 LMG wasn't real and was actually constructed with EVA foam and PVC pipe. The Arisakas also did not fire any blanks since we had no blanks for them on hand.
