Physical violence in General is totally barbaric, at least one of the parties involved would have to be incredibly immature for a fight to be initiated.
Hitting doesn't devalue the child. What's said afterward devalues the child. Hitting is the repercussions for bad behavior
That's just false and is proven so in the argument that you are responding to.
Hitting doesn't devalue the parent at all. It makes them recognized. Derp.
Once again, your response to an argument backed with tons of evidence is "HURR NO IT DOESNT"
Hitting may lead to abuse. That's where bad parenting comes into play. Being a role model on moderation and knowing the limits. Also, keyword, may. It's not a definite, so it's not a valid point.
That is the worst logic I've ever heard. Shooting someone may kill them, "herp derp keyword may it won't definitely kill them so it's not a valid point! daslfjhskdhfskhfdjh"
Hitting DEFINITELY improves behavior. It teaches them not to do that thing they were punished for again. That's the point.
It can just as easily cause misbehavior.
Who gives a fuck about biblicality.
It is an excuse used by some who condone this type of punishment, however it is a complete misinterpretation.
Hitting promotes anger? Really? In parents- They're mad as fuck already, there's not really much rage that can be added. In children- No shit. Your ass shouldn't have been doing whatever you did anyway, you knew the consequences. You wanted to be brave and do it anyway.
If you get that worked up over a child making a simple mistake then you do not deserve to have kids. You have anger management issues and if that reflects on your children you should be locked up.
Hitting brings back bad memories? Uh, failing school because you were never disciplined to do good brings bad memories. The only bad memories you get is those of what you did wrong. Thinking "Fuck, I shouldn't have done that..." is all you get.
The argument you are replying to held completely valid points. Memories of being abused very well could tarnish what would have otherwise seemed a very pleasant childhood.
Spanking does work, dumbass. I would be hanging with a different crowd smoking weed right now if it didn't.
While there are studies that disprove the effectiveness of spanking, even if it does work it could have been substituted with a less violent and potentially more effective method of raising you.
Seeing how they can't count to 10 kinda makes me doubt everything they have to offer.
"ABUSIVE HITTING HAS BAD LONG-TERM EFFECTS " was the ninth point, it just wasn't numbered.
Not all children need to be spanked. Some understand what they did wrong and express themselves accordingly, but most kids are stubborn and need thorough reinforcement to follow through with what they know is right.
Once again, there are several more effective ways to do this.
You shouldn't pass judgement on something you don't understand. I understand both sides. I used to be spanked. Grade A student in all. Now I slack like fuck because my parents are more laxed, like the white kids.
I've experienced both of these roles in my life, I've also experienced a role that you haven't. I've been self raised and self taught for a large majority of my life.
Bed time for me, because I was raised to not stay up late as fuck and wake up at 5pm. I'll check back in the AM.
Actually, I wake up more at 7-8pmish now. See you within the next 24 hours!
