the whole matter of "spanking" is a slippery slope. Even though it may seem cruel, it works. In earlier generations, spanking was common, and children generally grew up to be more responsible. These days, spanking is uncommon, and children are more spoiled than ever.

I mean how far is to far? And should the goverment dictate how people punish their children? I think that a certaint amount of physical punishment i fine (i.e. spankings) but nothing to serious (i.e. beating)

HELL NO!
How would you feel if you got spanked. Spanking is the last resort to desperate, too-loose parents, witch with their behavior have created a unchangable child witch most likely goes into the criminal buisness. A good parent can talk to his child to show him what's right and wrong, not by spanking! It's bad, and if you spank your child, you teach himto hate you! Who loves parents that spank you? NO ONE!


he he he *sighs* Now better Wiitard?

hmm, I'm half and half on this subject to be honest. Sometimes the best way to get through to a kid is a spanking... but I myself could never bring myself to hurt a child like that. I once heard a saying about that:

"To hit and humiliate a child only teaches that child to hit and humiliate."

When I was younger my father or mother never really hit me, they kinda tortured me lol. Has anyone ever heard of the dead cockroach? (it's a military thing) But all at the same time they would spank my brother. (probably because he was the boy... sexist right?) Now comparing the two of us... I'm not as violent as my brother... like at all... but in an odd way I'm much much meaner. I don't hit anyone like ever... I mess with their mind. I babysit my little cousin and although my aunt gave me permission to slap him if he got out of line I never actually do. I'd feel like a bully. I think personally there are better ways to punish a child. Throw away their toys... or burn them (make sure they watch as you do it). But see my brother, he's much more physically abusive towards me, my sister, and anyone else.

I really am conflicted about this... I don't know which one to choose... I'll let you guys debate over this and whoever I agree with afterwards is when I'll vote.

this topic is sooooooooo dumb. spanking should be allowed. parents need to resort to some sort of disipline. verbal disipling doesn't always work. have you guys ever heard of "conditioning"? geez. conditioning would take forever to explain so i won't right now. this topic just came out (in real life) because some body was sensitive because some stupid parents don't teach their kids how to be tough! Now the parent can't take it and they spank their child! The child cries and cries and cries and some bystander thinks that the crying is torture so they say "I WANT SPANKING OUTLAWED!" So quit with the sensitivity training and learn to take it!
calming down...
also HOW THE HECK are we suppose to enforce this? huh? you can't put police into people's houses

No. My older sister got more spankings when she was younger than any of the rest of us. My younger sister is way, way, way, way WAY more violent than my older sister. My Younger sister throws fits, hits/bites/kicks me, speaks back to my parents and does a bunch of other junk and hardly ever gets spanked...and she is still violent. why? because almost all my parents have done is talked to her adn taken toys away. I say yes to spanking.

Honestly I don't think is teaching them violence is a real problem from spanking, t.v. is worse. I know two families my family my dad spanked me and I am not violent. On the other hand my aunt kids are out of control and she has not touched her kids because she thinks its wrong.

Do I look agressive and mean to you?

Spanking children should be a last resort when dealing with kids that are out of line. It helps them learn when they do bad things they get a kick in thier butts, for lack of a better phrase. But then there's overspanking, which ruins your child's respect for you, and completely destroys your family relationship.

Some kids do need a spank every now and then and if they don't they become horrible spoiled people. But some kids need a few less spanks so they don't become horrible mistreated thugs.

Agree with Adam.

One or two spanks a year will not make a kid a murderer.

yeah. I totally agree. Spanking is good, if you keep it between the limits
