I’m against it. It teaches children that their parents are willing to physically hurt them. That’s bad.
It teaches children that their parents are willing to physically hurt them to impress upon them that they should never run out into traffic again.
Could be, my step-monster used to relish finding an excuse for the dreaded rubber slipper. Sadistic bitch, my father never did anything but talk to me.
Bad people in the world will kill them. The reality of life might come as a great shock to them, just before they die.
Precisely
Nonsense. What it teaches is that a just form of government is willing to hurt them if one will not learn to control his/her own actions. Every single human infant starts out with a determination to have one's own way, and this survival instinct must come under control.
From infancy, the child must learn that his/her inborn willingness to hurt--even kill--others in the pursuit of gaining one's own will must be curbed, and the morality of it must begin to be internalized.
And that is good, not bad.
The first instance of another superimposing their own will over that of the infant is in the matter of which of you is going to determine the feeding schedule of the infant. If the child "wins" that battle over an adult through temper tantrums, the individual's irrational unmanageable behavior starts being locked into place, and harder to overcome when the next issue crops up.
In the end, physical damage or even imprisonment or the electric chair may be the only effective way to stop that individual's oppositional defiance, employed in harming others.
Apparently, you do not wish to come to grips with this issue, understand it, and justly apply forceful correction until its moral end is achieved. I do not respect your mindset, at all.
In the Christian Bible, the book of Proverbs graciously reveals the wisdom of the All-Wise God, and nine verses of it deal with the use of the rod to govern a Hell-bent individual. The proper, timely, and determined application of the rod may save another human from a hellish life and death:
Proverbs 23:13-14 AV:
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
You had best not continue to ignore this nugget of golden truth. It might be wise of you, and others like you, to read and digest this fine book giving the theory and methods of how to acculturate yourself and your own get, starting now, if you do not wish your username to become a laughingstock, an oxymoron for your imitators. You method does not lead to Paradise, as the Good Book shows.
The first survival trait you should cultivate in your offspring (as well as your own associates, by the way) is a healthy respect of you as a representative of the world about him/her.
Big difference between discipline and abuse and you can bet that the antifa/BLM folks were all encouraged to do what they do w/o any adult leadership/discipline.
When necessary to correct "problems", it can be most effective.
I think it’s good. My two sons were spanked and they were never a discipline problem growing up. Now they are both young adults, on their own, and self-sufficient. Whereas a great number of their un-spanked peers are still living at home and are by and large spoiled brats that bring their parents a lot of misery. My father spanked me and I likewise was self-sufficient at early age and never a discipline problem growing up.
No, it's good...The threat of pain is often a pretty good deterrent...
And if Mom or Dad will; guess what those outside of your house will do to you!
