Spanking

[Novairia]

Who said that was sarcasm?

The clapping.

My applauding you on using your imagination equates to a statement of sarcasm? .. No wonder you think "Any physical force acting on a body" equals a beating.

Wait.. is this.. Bubble Boy??

[Zaras]

if i didn't have a certain amount of respect for your position,

Wha? Shouldn't the normal amount of respect for Zaras' positions be zero? Or less than zero?

I mean, shit, it's Zaras. What more do you need?

[Big Jim P]

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

Indeed, stick to sanders.

Those still hurt though ( I speak from experience).

I lost a nail and three day work due to sticking my finger into a saddle-stitcher. I would have rather been tackled and verbally berated.

I got the ass chewing from my boss and my wife anyway.

It's usually used in conjunction with snarky statements.

Congratulations on failing to distinguish that in context I meant a physical force administered by a human. It's almost like you're misinterpreting on purpose.

Well post something actually stupid then.

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

And I am going to point out that it can be classed as an Act-Which-Cannot-Be-Named-Lest-Moderation-Learns-Of-Said-Accusation.

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

Because five year olds are children? And at the age when they are still learning right from wrong?

If it was zero, we would be ignoring you.. and letting your hand get sawed off.

[Rackenshan]

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.

Give me one pro that whatever kind of punishment you had to go through taught a better lesson than spanking.

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

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

Who? Everyone i've seen that said they were spanked said they were fine with it.

I don't remember insulting somebody directly.

Because five year olds are children? And at the age when they are still learning right from wrong?

There's still better ways to do it.

You're ignoring a post on the previous page saying otherwise.

I got the ass chewing from the TA and my parents.

Oh well, at least I have... interesting fingerprints on 2 fingers of my right hand

[Kakostan]

What age do you think people start punishing their children, spanking or not?

SIGH. Once AGAIN. I did not chew you out I actually remember crying because you were hurt. I chewed you out for not having someone call me to let me know you were in the hospital for petes sake.

I learned the lesson that the most important thing is grades from my parents criticising me for getting a bad one and generally acting disappointed and silent treatmenty.

I can't say for sure, I don't remember that far in my past.

Green. Eats goats. Lives under a bridge. Not that I am calling you one but being snide for the sake of doing so without any real reason to can be classed as.................it.

There's still better ways to do it.

Just answer the damn question. Do you think a five year old has the same ability to reason and tell the difference between right and wrong as an adult.

Bud, I'm studying Business Law at this time, your stated context is the ONLY context we can take at this time. We can not muse about the underlying features of this or that. Court / Debate demands plain statements or terms to be spoken only, and recieved as such. Define your version of "a beating" to the absolute finite detail if you want me too not nit pick it apart.

When did you become such a misery guts?

[Kakostan]

I will be leaving for now, but I would just like to say this before I go:

Zaras, there's a difference between a shitty argument and an argument you don't agree with. Usually if it's the latter then it's natural that it would seem like a shitty argument to you. Nonetheless, this was a great debate, thank you.

Disappointed that they has to discipline me. Silent treatment. It must have been rough for you. /sarcasm

[Zaras]

I had a reason. Bad one, but a reason.

Just answer the damn question. Do you think a five year old has the same ability to reason and tell the difference between right and wrong as an adult.

No, and corporal punishment isn't going to magically imprint on them that kind of ability. If anything it risks delaying it by replacing it with the ability to avoid punishments instead of actually knowing why some behaviours should be avoided in the first place.

I am quite sure you would miss your hand.

Wow one post out of like hundreds that agree with me...
Also the few i have seen they were actually beatin as in punched and made to bleed, not a spanking.

I'm against parents actually causing damage to their kids I'm just not against spanking. I'm against people ridiculously comparing the two and saying there the same thing.
