What you are talking about is figure of speech, parables or stories. Those are open for interpretation. Exact writing on the other hand is taken literally.

In this day and age its considered child abuse to hit your child, in ancient times it was normal to beat discipline and submission into your children. I'm not for child abuse, I'm just saying that with our modern perspective and morals, it's impossible to understand the perspective and morals of the past. You have to look at it through a different lens.

And it doesn't matter how many times a text is translated, as long as the original manuscript where it is translated from, is the same. Then it doesn't matter how you phrase it, it will still tell you the same thing. It can even reveal more about the meaning of the original manuscript, the more it is translated. All you have to do is to compare all translations.

True, but the message of that bible verse was in his advantage, so I didn't quite understand why he would misinterpret that, to make his argument about punishment weaker.

And yeah I agree, if all this would happen IRL, it would be beyond insane. But the scary thing is, the MC's punishment style is very close to how MK-ultra / MK-monarch works.

Try "Ignore" and see what happens

Do you have winrar or winzip installed? Because I can open rar files no problem.

Okay, I'm not a biblethumper or anything but with all the bible talk in this game, especially with a bible reference Proverbs 13:24, I looked it up and noticed the MC made a false claim.

(Patricia - owner of restaurant close to the school)
"(...)Spare the rod, spoil the child as the bible says. (...) Proverbs 13:24"

(MC)

"A common misinterpretation of that bible verse. The rod mentioned was likely referring to a shepherd's rod or crook. Used to guide sheep not hit them."

Well if you read Proverbs 13:24, it literally says:
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. (King James version)

Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. (English standard version)

That verse literally says chasteneth, which is a verb for chastise. To chastise is to punish, to reprimand or criticize severely. In other words, to discipline.

So the rod in question, was literally used for corporal punishment in old times. Its not even open for interpretation, because the writing in that verse is exact writing, not figure of speech or a parable.

Wow N64 Goldeneye reference. The cinematics in that scene are the same as in goldeneye, also when MC gets shot. How nostalgic =D

It wasn't my intention to contradict, more to elaborate further ;)

Yeah Ms. Potts' questline was the first one I went through too, because earning discipline back every day was a headache to deal with. Plus storywise, she has the worst discipline in class so it made sense to me to do that first.

@Temujin_Senpai
wanting something that others have isn't envy, that is covetousness.

Envy has always an outward focus; we desire some item, person, or attribute possessed by someone else, and we are discontent or resentful about not having it. And often the person who is envious, hurt the target of their envy.

Jealousy on the otherhand has an inward focus, for example; the protection of one’s own items or relationships, especially romantic relationships. You can envy someone else for his girlfriend, but someone flirting with your own girlfriend makes you jealous, not envious.

The difference between envy and jealousy is that, in certain circumstances, jealousy can be a positive thing. Envy is never presented as positive. The type of jealousy defined as “zealous vigilance” is the unhappy or angry feeling caused when what rightfully belongs to us is being threatened.
