I was I never "spanked" as a kid - I'm a pacifist, I have nothing but respect for my family and elders and perhaps more importantly than that I should warn y'all that if I ever see anyone hitting a kid I bust them upside the head.
What kind of pathetic moronic coward needs to HIT A CHILD to teach it about polite behaviour? Oh - that’s right, an idiot raised by yet another moron with no idea what respect is…
Dear god will the stupid ****s ever stop breeding?

What a bunch of trash in here.

Beating your children does not directly relate to the relationship you will grow up to have with them.
No, I was never beaten and I have a better relationship with MY father than anyone. I respect him because he didn't have to 'whip my ass with a belt' to get me to listen - he DID his job.
First of all there is a difference between beating your children and spanking them. AND....being a parent for 22 years now, I can tell you there is absolutely nothing wrong with your children have a good healthy fear of the parents. There were many times I stopped myself from doing something completely stupid because of the fear of what my father would do to me if he found out about it. It's because some children think they are on equal footing as their parents that todays kids are so damned screwed up as it is. Your children aren't your possessions BUT they are your responsibility to see that they turn out to be law abiding productive people. I was spanked as a child and I deserved every one of them I got. I spanked my children (notice I said spanked not beat) and my oldest daughter tells me she will spank her kids. The time out thing is a joke. Oh and for the record I harbor no deep seated feelings of resentment towards my parents they did what they had to do to bring a little hellion like myself in line.

I was responding to his claim that his father beat him and he had a better relationship with his father...I was making a point.

how absurd?
apparently you don't read the news. worst things happen than children jumping into a swimming pool.
and spanking your children to instill discipline at an early age is a far shot different than an independent grown man geating beat down by a neighbor or cop.
Infact, i'd love to see a cop or my neighbor give me a spanking, or pull my pants down and hit me with a belt.
Now who's being absurd?

Like I said before, there is a fine line between abuse and decipline.
If you child does not require extream discipline like physical violence, as was apparent in your youth, then so be it. That is great.
If a child is a disobediant AT A WAKE as was the case in Links example, then what choice do you have? "Get out of the pool or it is time out for you when you get home, Mister?"
We are not saying put a lead pipe, a nine iron and a medievil mase on the kitchen table and telling the child to pick which one to be bludgened with, we are saying that if a child is as disobediant as some are, there are certain measures that must be taken.
My God, when will extreamist ***s stop breeding.
I am something of a pacifist myself, but if the need be, the need be. I do everything I can to avoid violence... sometimes it cannot be avoided.

wow...I respect my father for the person he is. For the work he does to keep a roof over my head, to keep food on my plate, and clothes on my back.
Not because he didn't have to whip my ass with a belt (which was an exaggerated statement)
Guess we all have different views of what constitutes a good relationship.
