LOL so any impending violence spree I may engage in at any point in the future is justified by the ass whoopins I got as a kid?
And eggheads like Freud and Thorndike are ALWAYs right - Right?
The folks at that paper don’t like spanking because if their parents had spanked them they might have been brain damaged, or perhaps their parents did spank them.
Did the 'good doctor' denounce the spanking in 50 Shades of Grey and promoted by Planned Parenthood?
Thought not.
That's because all they know how to do is assault-and-battery.
Leon, Leon, Leon,
Get a real PhD in something useful.
I, and many others, were spanked.
Somehow, I survived, and even managed to successfully complete an education that appears to be quite beyond our limited abilities.
So did the vast majority of those others.
Get a job.
Right after you get a real degree in something useful.
Dr. Spock was an idiot. Parents that think “reasoning” with a temper tantrum 2 year old are lazy and stupid.
Until I saw the PhD at the end of the name I assumed this writer to be a run of the mill a$$hat. Now I know he is a highly qualified one with an advanced degree in A$$hatology. One assumption I must continue to make is that he has never actually raised a child. This is indicated by his presuming children always and inevitably listen and respond to “words” and that the little darlings will respond when we can find just the right ones from a bottomless source of supply.
If spanking in injurious violence against children, what is abortion?
Commies trying to eliminate all forms of violence as being possible responses against government tyranny. If you want to worry about violence against children, worry about the violence done to someone who was never disciplined as a child to established acceptable limits of social behavior.
Violence is a virtue when it strikes against tyrannical government that does not respect individual property and rights. There are quite of few I could name that are now in the news, but communists and Nazis are good examples from the past . . . and present.
Yup. We all know that when people used to whip their children, those children grew up to all be thugs and western civilization collapsed because parents and teachers used to spank bratty, disobedient, children. /s
What an ass?
Think of it as rebooting a computer that is acting up. Just hit the ‘spank’ key:)
Wow, I am blown over. For once in a blue moon, Pope Francis has said something that this Catholic agrees with.
