So? You are saying that “common sense” tells you that hitting people is the way to build a relationship, build trust, and teach love?

I presume that you apply this “common sense” with people your own size, right?

I used to get spanked by my mom and beat by my grade school teachers. As a father, I never liked what spanking my son, did to my personal relationship with him, along with myself getting more angry every time another spanking was required. By the time my son was 5, my wife decided that counting him down(3,2,1) with a threat of taking personal property or a cherished freedom away, was a better way. My son is going to graduate from High School this year and still cherishes his personal property and freedom over decisions that could cost him either. Thanks to my wife and my ability to follow her idea(s), I think we created a fine young Conservative.

Not my point at all.

I was responding to the usual, totally invalid argument that “I was spanked and I’m a brain surgeon, so spanking is good.”

ONE EXAMPLE is worthless.

There is a BARELY DISCERNIBLE difference in the negative effects of spanking and beatings.

Your assertion is totally gratuitous. It is contradicted by the data on the damage done to children.

The rod mentioned in the Bible is literally an instrument of beating when and if necessary to carry through the corrective action it is meant to enforce. Sometimes the word is used figuratively, though rarely. Do not make the mistake of "spiritualizing" it.

You lower your child’s use of their potential when you let fail to instill discipline. A smart kid acting out is a retarded child.

Spanking is considered child abuse, around here its called and “Attitude Adjustment”. Avoids jail time.

A couple of spankings is all it takes for most kids to know who’s Boss, why society is out of control - Time Out doesn’t work ....

I posted the study a number of times to him he totally ignores it. He was abused by his mother when he was a kid now for him all spanking is abuse.

Yeah, I've noticed a bit of correlation between anti-spanking and dissatisfaction with the way someone was raised. They can't conceive of it as anything else but furthering abuse...whereas most of us from a loving home understand it was not abuse but *correction of a specific behavior*.

I was going to argue the subject with you and point to the research I have done on the matter to refute your assumption. However, I realized that your are a troll and an idiot and no amount of evidence would change your opinion.

This is about as scientific a study as algore’s movies.

Whether you personally were spanked or not is likely irrelevant, but whatever happened in the past, you are now incapable of discerning what’s true or not.

You don’t appear capable of getting beyond this extreme bias you hold, nor do you care to discuss the topic. You just want to ram your version of truth down everyone’s throat.

I’d suggest you find out the reason behind this problem of yours before going any further.

Strange that these people, who believe so strongly in the benefits of hitting people, put their belief into practice only with people who are A fraction of their size.

You don't know anything about football and sportsmanship, do you? Vapid.

I think it’s good. My two sons were spanked and they were never a discipline problem growing up. Now they are both young adults, on their own, and self-sufficient. Whereas a great number of their un-spanked peers are still living at home and are by and large spoiled brats that bring their parents a lot of misery. My father spanked me and I likewise was self-sufficient at early age and never a discipline problem growing up.

I don’t think the actions of one person shows anyone is wrong, since there are so many variables! I was not only spanked, but switched as well....drugs have never appealed to me, nor alcohol. My IQ is very high.. yet that does not prove discipline had anything to do with it, again too many variables

So addiction has it’s own source, usually a spirit of addiction, and if left unattended will cause death!
