      There’s 8 billion people in this world and I can only impact a few of them. Whopping them isn’t a tool I prefer or tend to use, but I also recognize that it’s the only tool some on the side of behaving decently have or some people respond to.

          Google that, and let me know what it says. Also, I didn’t say they should, I said they do. You could as easily ask why some people engage in criminal activity or abusive behavior, and probably get the same answers.

            It’s not a scientific fact. That’s why I ask why you believe it. Why do some people only respond to whopping?

              The field of psychology has been around for about 100 years. I don’t think they have all the details worked out enough to call it a science. But let’s set that aside. Do you think Putin will respond to anything but whopping? Why or why not?

                People always want something. Make those things available and they will offer something in return.
