Spanking

[Samuraikoku]

Sounds like Stockholm syndrome.

Yes, because all those bad children who go out sticking it to the man are normal and people who actually listen to their parents have Stockholm Syndrome.

I listened to my parents, they never spanked me. Your argument is invalid.

[Samuraikoku]

An Ideal situation, but one that does NOT prepare them for the real world.

I seem to have survived.

If your parents' rules require violence to implement, they're shit rules.

Sticking it to the man should always be encouraged. It's preferable to passive obedience.

I'm not dead yet, either, and last time I checked, I live in the real world.

[Srboslavija]

I'm very disappointed you feel this way, but it's the god honest truth.

It make not feel like it now but you'll eventually have kids and appreciate this mini-life lesson I gave you.

Or raise them in a way that violence isn't required. You know, like my parents did with me.

And look at you now.

Let's judge people based on their Internet record! Yeah, that totally won't fail epically!

Fact: I"m 54 years old and was raised in a very strict large family. We got spanked (Switch) by Dad. Not often but enough to be familiar with the rules of the house and personal conduct. I had Three older brothers and Two older Sisters.

Fact: I have Four children, all adults now with their own children. I never spanked my kids. Yes I talked myself silly and screamed in frustration many times... but never struck them. I did not allow the school system to smack them around either. With Three teenage Girls the mere act of not choking them out was hard, very hard. But we all got through it somehow and are a very close family.

I was just lucky, I just didn't want my children afraid of me as I was of my Dad.

I'm Out

oh this is cute

it's like when a mother is arguing with a child psychologist over whether should throw her children in a cold shower and make them kneel on a broomstick to dry and the guy puts out lots of arguments and then the mother guys BUT I'M A MOTHER. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? MAYBE WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS ONE DAY... and then the audience all agree with her because she is a mother that makes her an expert on everything, especially secrets to whitening your teeth that dentists don't want you to know

I was raised by a violent, abusive father and so did I.

Of course, I lucked out: The psychological damage in me manifests as a pathological inability to abuse another. My hatred for my father insures that I will do whatever it take to NOT be like that.

[Kakostan]

Says a bunch of psychologist that need this to keep the $$$ flowing for their service, or else the growing number of psychologists will lower demand thus making their net worth decrease to our social construct.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

do you seriously believe this

it's all big conspiracy!!!

they faked the studies! they paid the kids!

Yes, although non-delinquents like myself would have made sure it just ended at "Can't post here". Unlike some people, I respect my parents' rules, perhaps you can probably trace that to the spankings, as that would be the only thing deterring me from going against the rules.

is there anything that your parents could tell you to do/not do that you would envisage disobeying

Well duh, despite being loyal to my parents I'm still a kid who's going to act dumb occasionally, maybe from peer pressure and what not.

[Srboslavija]

I don't want to have kids, dude. Ever.

Hmm...

I sense a few deep seeded issues here and with your general demeanour in this topic but I appreciate it being personal.

Think I'll just take my disappointment in you and leave this be.

[Samuraikoku]

And look at you now.

Let's judge people based on their Internet record! Yeah, that totally won't fail epically!

You don't even know Samurai.

What is my record?

I was raised by a violent, abusive father and so did I.

Of course, I lucked out: The psychological damage in me manifests as a pathological inability to abuse another. My hatred for my father insures that I will do whatever it take to NOT be like that.

Which sadly doesn't reflect in every abusive household, Jim.

I know.

Edit: And in answer to your earlier question to someone else: I know you a little better now. *nod*

[Srboslavija]

Someone did the same joke earlier in the topic. I thought that ship had sailed but the opportunity was right there again

[Novairia]

1. Good for you cause all I see is: poor choice in a blue tie VS poor choice in a red tie.

You miss the part where the Republican Party hates women's rights and is pro-plutocracy then.

2. Well since you seem to think Beating = Spanking, then Punch must = Tap, it is in the damn law books afterall. Now that you know, start ranting about how they are the same.

You brought it up, you rant.

OOOOOooooo... Nevermind, another brought up the Battery comparison, we will let them rant.

We will leave the Rep/Dem debate on the proper thread.

But I still maintain that: Spanking =/= Beating .. Beating = Bodily harm. Plus look at Ned Flanders, years of spanking and he turned out just fine.

So in essence you have no answer.

Anyone that has seen a the movie breakfast club will understand how perception can play a huge role in how we view ourselves. Paying attention the Bender really highlight a huge part of problem.

[Zaras]

Don't pull the fucking Sybok bullshit to disguise the fact that you don't have an argument.

and with your general demeanour in this topic but I appreciate it being personal.

Nice tone argument there. You're really versed in Derailing 101.

Think I'll just take my disappointment in you and leave this be.

Oh noes, some guy on the net is disappointed in me. Big deal.

[Zaras]

Beating = Bodily harm.

So is spanking.

-_- really.. do you really think anyone would believe that? ... besides Rush Limbag

[Costa Alegria]

I listened to my parents, they never spanked me. Your argument is invalid.

My parents smacked me. I learned not to do it again. Your argument is invalid.

Seriously, we've devolved the argument enough that personal experiences invalidate other people's arguments.

Stockholm Syndrome. Which proves what I set out to prove.
