Antispanking law

[imported_Lothar]

Spanking/belt beating usually works better than the "go to your room" and "you're grounded" crap I see on TV (and in most American families) all the time.

If they keep telling us to do something that doesn't work, then they can sell us lots of books about how we should be doing that thing.

Conspiracy ftw it's all engineered for capitalism.

I was spanked as a child and I'm no worse for the wear. As a teenager I looked back on things like that and hated my parents. Now that I'm grown with a seven year old of my own, I can see how much I deserved an ass whooping. If anything they held back on me.

My daughter on the other hand has never been spanked, at least not by me. I can't speak for her mom (we're divorced) but I highly doubt it. She's such a sensitive little thing that speaking harshly to her can bring tears to her eyes, there's no need to spank.

But, different solutions for different kids. Passing a law which makes spanking 100% illegal is flat out wrong. Leave it to the left coast. :roll:

I tell you what, it sickens me to see a grown man trying to reason with a 3 year old in the grocery store. When kids are at that age they cannot be reasoned with. While spanking might not be the best method, it has worked for thousands of years. Many of us were raised in this way and we turned out fine.

This will lead to nothing than more spoiled brat, entitlement types; our society doesn't need anymore of those, the quota is full.

Best post in this thread.

I love how on one hand people say "But they're just children", but on the other hand people want parents to treat them and respect them like adults.

I've raised 4 kids. For one, we have concluded that spanking does not work (he was bad whether we spanked him or not) and we've stopped it. We use other methods that seem to work, but he's still a "problem" child. On the others, one we have rarely had to spank (I can't recall the last time we did), another we've spanked sporadically and the last we spanked judiciously. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's how kids are, they're different. Sometimes a spanking works, sometimes pulling the ear or grabbing the lock of hair in the back of their head or just the look of anger and a stern "You will NOT do....." or "You will do....". But, the one thing I've found that rarely, if ever works, is explaining the rationality behind my demands/wishes. They are/were too young to understand the logic.

Make up your damn mind. No wonder your kids don't know what to do wishy washy like that.😛

That's a Dave move there....watch it!

Authoritarians like this lady don't trust people and are very cynical. These are the people who were really abused or abandoned as children which accounts for this. Because on a ideological and philosophical level they seek absolute deference to the ruling orthodoxy much like an abusive parent/child relationship would have. As adults they want the state to regulate everything from how you raise your children, firearms ownership, drug use, smoking, speech codes etc.

Child abuse is child abuse, regardless of degree. I hope they give it teeth.

You obviously didn't get spanked enough as a child.

I agree, child abuse is child abuse. Also, an apple is an apple. But, spanking is not child abuse and oranges aren't apples. Nice try though.
