Spanking

[Kakostan]

Sticking it to the man should always be encouraged.

No wonder we can't seem to reach an agreement, you're a hippie. Sorry to offend.

Beating = Bodily harm.

So is spanking.

I have yet to see (in person or on the news) anyone's spankings cause bodily harm. Every time that I have seen cases of bodily harm, it was not from what I call "Spanking".

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

You admitted yourself that you aren't right but everyone else is wrong. That's not an argument. It's lunacy.

I'm a socialist. Seriously, it's in my sig and all, and you can't even get this right?

Protip: spanking is by definition bodily harm. It involves the application of physical force to the body, thus harming it.

I didn't say everyone else, I just said one poster's positions are far beyond the pale to the point that I felt it was pointless to try and argue.

Nice misrepresentation of my post you got there.

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

Actually, it shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. I don't have Stockholm Syndrome and I really think you should look up the definition before you throw it out there.

It's funny because some if what I read, these researchers were saying spanking actually increases a defiant attitude in a person, so if one is to think that's correct then not being spanked tends to lead someone to be more servile...

If you are causing bodily harm, then you are abusing someone. Not all "applications of physical force to the body" are harmful.

Why do you go cherry picking segments of quotes?

Let me try: "involves the application of physical force to the body" ... So does wind when it blows by..

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.

Stockholm Syndrome is specific to abduction. Besides, you already empathize with your parents to begin with because, well, they are your parents. Children tend to love their parents and vice versa.

If that's the case then you have it too, surely your parents had to enforce some sort of punishment besides spanking for you to listen.

Also, I would like to point out that my parents don't always spank me. In fact they've stopped a long time ago as I've said in a previous post. I still get an occasional slap if I perhaps bad mouth my mother, and if I'm bad mouthing my mother maybe that's a sign that I'm making a decline and spanking should be reinstated.

It's everyone else.

It's quite accurate. After all, how can someone be so pig-headed to think that they are the only right person in a thread where everyone else clearly is wrong? It would be like you stating the Earth is flat when it quite clearly isn't.

Also insinuates that children are being held captive against their will.

Air does not constitute a physical force.

Or maybe it's a sign that your mom is a horrible person and an insecure tyrant who feels irrationally threatened by the idea that her son might have opinions of his own.

So... then a windmill runs on magic??

No, it's just Yankee Empire.

Misrepresenting again. I didn't say I was right.

Strawman. Get a better argument.

Do you honestly think I go through every signature expanding every spoiler and clicking every link?

[Costa Alegria]

Misrepresenting again. I didn't say I was right.

Then, how is everyone else wrong? If no one is right, how are people wrong?

Strawman. Get a better argument.

Example. Learn how to debate.

Now you understand what I was dealing with.

More likely that his mom is trying to hold onto the child while he is becoming an adult.
