Spanking

[Zaras]

If I saw you about to put your hand into a band saw,

You wouldn't give a shit because "Oh, it's that fucker Zaras. Who gives a fuck about him."

Your argument is invalid.

[Rackenshan]

We're you ever spanked as a child Zara?

Nope. My parents were better than that.

And there is your problem. I personally was spanked. I do not feel a victim of abuse and I support it. It is the most effective way to teach a child right from wrong

[Novairia]

My god.. so cute.. resorting to your imagination to keep up your ego. Good job.

Damn, you fail at sarcasm harder than me. I didn't think that was possible.

Who said that was sarcasm?

[Kakostan]

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.

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.

Don't bring mothers into this.

Also, by bad mouthing I mean cursing, not sharing my opinion. My mother let's me have opinions. In fact, we have different views and know it. But I still get along with her, we have good times, it's not punishments all the time as you would generalize. She's still my parent and I love her, and she loves me. My parents have done numerous things for me, they've practically expended their own lives so that mine would be set. I suggest you stop thinking of my parents as malevolent.

Stockholm syndrome. Simple as that.

If it's "the most effective way to teach a child right from wrong", you have failed as a parent. It's the most effective way to teach kids to avoid being caught, blindly follow whatever parents say and care about consequences instead of actually knowing what right and wrong are.

The clapping.

[Big Jim P]

Nope. My parents were better than that.

Rack-whatever failed to ask the other half of the question: Did you ever put them in a position where you life or well being was endangered?

[Zaras]

Don't bring mothers into this.

Alright.

Also, by bad mouthing I mean cursing, not sharing my opinion.

Oh, so your mom is one of those adults who is terrified of "bad words". That's so much better.

[Zaras]

Nope. My parents were better than that.

Rack-whatever failed to ask the other half of the question: Did you ever put them in a position where you life or well being was endangered?

I probably should have, since that would mean nobody would ever have to suffer interacting with me.

[Costa Alegria]

Doesn't mean I think I'm right.

What you think and what you show are different things. In this case, you think you aren't right but you show the opposite by claiming everyone is wrong. By telling them that smacking is child abuse.

You're better at it than me, though not by much.

Sure.

There hasn't been much of that in this thread.

There would have been if there was anything to discuss. It's really a non-issue.

[Big Jim P]

If I saw you about to put your hand into a band saw,

You wouldn't give a shit because "Oh, it's that fucker Zaras. Who gives a fuck about him."

Your argument is invalid.

No, I would give a shit because you are a human about to put his hand in a band saw.

[Zaras]

What you think and what you show are different things. In this case, you think you aren't right but you show the opposite by claiming everyone is wrong. By telling them that smacking is child abuse.

It's almost as if I like hyperbole.

There would have been if there was anything to discuss. It's really a non-issue.

It's always those kinds of threads that get dragged out, don't they.

Quit lying, dude. Nobody ever gave a shit about me.

Consequences are the only reason children care about right and wrong, are they not? They learn the ethics after learning from their mistakes.

Indeed, stick to sanders.

Those still hurt though ( I speak from experience).

[Zaras]

Some people forget the ethics part and just focus on the consequences. Terrible idea.

[Yankee Empire]

Obviously not...

Well I could tell. If you hadn't as a child and was only exposed to the bs they have now you would think it was cruel. Thise who went under spankings though would say their is nothing wrong with it for the most part.

Yeah that what i said before, people who actually were spanked are fine with it, people who weren't aren't.

No I know right from wrong. "blindly following" or following rules and know the punishment for disobeying is how you keep a child in line. It seems the most rebellious,whiny, and generally pansy children come from homes with out spanking.

[Costa Alegria]

It's almost as if I like hyperbole.

More like a living definition.

It's always those kinds of threads that get dragged out, don't they.

Or when certain people don't know when to quit. Honestly, the amount of crazy shit you've tried to claim.

Tell me, what makes you think that a five year old knows about reasoning and making the right decision when they believe in things like Santa?

[Zaras]

The people who have posted in this thread and mentioned they were spanked and are against it undermine your point.

I'm not fine with it unless it's sexual in nature.

No, Zaras, It means there are some who are good children, and believe me, if i didn't have a certain amount of respect for your position, I would not be interacting with you, nor would I have let two slights (so far) go unanswered.

[Zaras]

It seems the most rebellious,whiny, and generally pansy children come from homes with out spanking.

Because insulting kids in a way that sounds geezerish is a great argument.

[Roan Cara]

my mom lost her temper and smacked my face when I was WAAAY too mouthy. And even then I knew I had it coming.

Dude, what is up with your parents pulling the Why Did You Make Me Hit You card?! You make your parents sound horrible.

I never got beaten by my parents.

I never felt they were horrible. I always felt that I had ample time to change my behavior before being spanked and the few times I was spanked I remember being mad enough that I continued to do the behavior knowing I would be spanked. afterwards I was always more sad about making dad sad to have spanked me than about being spanked. it never hurt, was always over my pants and also was a very rare occurence. The slapping the face thing was pretty awful but she felt awful afterwards and I know that I was being REALLY mouthy, I think I even called her a B*tch. SO. yeah. I wouldn't say they were awful at all. I think I was spanked maybe 10 times at most and probably less than that actually from the time I was like 4 til I was about 12

[Zaras]

Not much difference.

Or when certain people don't know when to quit.

I did say I only care about having the last word.

Tell me, what makes you think that a five year old knows about reasoning and making the right decision when they believe in things like Santa?

Tell me, what makes you think I was thinking of five year olds?
