Were you spanked as a child?

I think a lot of this slapping comes from parents getting
frustrated, not being able to control the situation.

if i'd gotten away w/ speaking back to my mom over and over
and over again i'd have not developed any respect for her
probably ever

and because ive been able to respect her life has been a bit
better

ive never held it against her. if i ever have kids ill let
my wife slap them around a bit :)

so you're saying you developed respect for your mother
because she slapped you?

that doesn't sound very healthy.

Sorry I say "Fuck you" to everyone. Get used to it. Its fun,
try it sometime.

primitive illogical nonsense? excuse but what the fuck are
you? Some sort of evolved being thats above anyone else? Try
your logic elsewhere, mankind has been around for how long?
and you expect our kids to come out of a birth canal
allready knowing how to extend their pinky finger when they
drink tea?

As for countries where "discipline" is illegal can suck my
cock. There is a difference between child abuse and
discipline. Learn it.

Seriously, if you can raise productive kids without slapping
them when they start mouthing off or hitting YOU, then
congradulations, go write a book and enlighten the rest of
the world.

If I had to hunt for food I would. Nowadays 'hunting'
consists of getting in the car and driving to the
supermarket.

So yes, i do hunt for food.

that "it happens in nature" is such a bullshit argument.

Spanking can be for the good of the child (a short sharp
slap to indicate something is dangerous for example, sort of
associative conditioning) however there are many parents who
will take out their days frustration on a child which is
nothing more than abuse. There is a lot written about
parents right to smack etc., but there can be an equal or
greater amount of damage done through mental abuse of
children.

I myself received the occassional slap and personally I see
no harm in it being done providing it is for the good of the
child.

nevermind, i think what you are saying is that because we
(unlike nature) have control over our actions, that we need
to choose NOT to hit our kids.

But I'm saying, we dont have to unless we run out of
options. If your kid behaves like an angel until he/she is
18/21, then fantastic, you are the luckiest parent alive.
Otherwise, expect to give them a red ass once in awhile.

Motherfucker, if I was your dad I'd make you brush your
teeth with the toilet brush...then I'd beat you silly with
it, then I would drive you to the hospital dragging you
behind the car on a rope because I wouldn't want to get
blood on my seats. Then I would pay the doctors to collapse
your lungs. Then I would sit laughing. Laughing until
blood leaked from my eyes.

you can discipline without being violent. smacking is an

also, if you say that smacking a child is acceptable, that
then creates another problem defining the big grey area of
how hard, how often, in what circumstances etc, which is
near on impossible to define.

You are an intelligent chap, sadly a lot of parents aren't,
at least with physical punishment they can guage what they
are doing. I have seen a lot of kids who never get hit but
get non violent punishment which is often completely
unbeneficial, drawn out and by the time it impacts on them
it no longer holds any relevance to the cause of it being
implemented in the first place.

Its barely even 'violence' if its done properly, when you
spank a kid it doesn't hurt them it just lets them know
who's in control, obviously its quite important for young
children to realise that they have to have an authority
figure for their own well-being. It may seem primitive but
children are primitive, that's the whole point. If you could
communicate perfectly with a child then they wouldnt be a
child. Hurting your child as punishment is a different
matter though, but just smacking them once to take control
of the situation is fine with me.

I got spanked when I was a kid and it's fucking stupid. I
will never do that to my kids and I will NEVER forgive my
parents for doing it to me.

I was a particularly frustrating child to them, I'm sure of
it -- I got shitloads of spankings (spankings for EVERY
FUCKING THING -- whining, pinching my sisters, you name it),
and spankings ALWAYS exacerbated the situation. It made me
want to hurt them back. Why should I be afraid of my own
parents?

I am a pretty fucking calm person, but when somebody pisses
me off, my first instinct is to slap them! I REALLY don't
think that should be, and I honestly think it's because of
spankings in my childhood. My brother and sisters and I
played WAY too rough with each other a LOT of times, and
where do you think we learned it? We could have really hurt
each other and I'm honestly surprised we never did.

I am positive there are other better ways to discipline a
child than by hitting them. I just don't think people
should hit each other at all.

it seems this debate went rather serious. i would just like
to clear up, for the record, that my mother did not beat me
into a crying little ball. I received a few good licks and i
fucking deserved them. I don't know if i'm better off
because of this, all I know is I chew with my mouth cloused
and don't talk back. I like to resolve a situation calmly,
unlike other people in this thread who seem to get a bit
fired up.

i was never beaten, cause my parents wanted to treat me
with RESPECT, and probably was of the opinion that i should
grow
up without ever having to be afraid that my own parents
would hurt me
physically. Violence is not good for anyone, it's a fact, no
matter how much we love our parents. The few times my dad
would grab me by the shoulder to sort of shake me when he
was pissed off, i'd be violent to other people afterwards
and pick a fight or something.

I was such a little terror when I was little, i used to get
smacked all the time!

I had a naughty chair too which was an armchair turned into
the corner. When I figured out that I always got stuck in
the naughty chair for reasons unknown to me, (drinking my
mum's channel no 5 was perfectly fine as far as I knew) I
hid loads of chocolates and sweets down the side so at least
I could have a munch while I was there

my granny would use the wooden spoon on occasion and the
primary school (junior-high?) headmaster loved using the
"yellow swish" on us.

I still think there was no need for it and that it was
undiciplined frustration.

I've been to japan a few times and its a culture with zero
smacking of kids and its full of lovely well-behaved
children.

spend 10 minutes in a supermarket here and you'd see a kid
get hit for nothing - now that thick.

Typically, most parents who spank their children see it as
a MEANS - never an end in itself. It is a means (we hope) to
make their children better people in the long run. So, what
then are we to make of Our Father in Heaven and His
punishment for us, His Children, - HELL? If a parent in our
culture used the beating of his child not as a means to make
him or her a better person, but simply does arbitrarily it
for no apparent reason, then we would view him as a
dangerous psychopathic personality and, further, we would
attempt to rescue the child.
In this way, the idea of God and His punishment is
GROSSELY disanalogous to the punishment handed out by the
good parent (who at least punishes for the right reasons
even if we disagree as to the effectiveness of said
methods). In Protestant Theology God's punishment of HELL
cannot be viewed simply as a MEANS of making His Children
better because once one is in HELL, then there is NO WAY
OUT. Eternal Torment with no hope of escape is certainly not
a means of bettering the soul, as the soul is rendered
helpless in terms of choice - choice is no longer possible
for the damned. Thus, the punishment of Our Heavenly Father
becomes not a means, but simply an ends in and of itself.
Cruelty for the sake of Cruelty.
