Toys, cartoons, video games, air.

So by that rationale, you concede that, if, in fact, these tactics didn't work, a spanking would be in order?

Yes, because they do. I didn't make a statement and then change the meaning, I made a statement and just elaborated on it later.Every bad parent I've ever known has spanked or beaten their kids, so bad parents do that. Just not all of them, you gut-enjoyer.

ok.
so then by your statement, mothers who leave their newborn babies in dumpsters are not bad parents. parents who abandon their children are also not bad, as long as they dont spank or beat them.
i win the thread

Yes, but that doesn't disprove what I said.I said good people don't ever have to rely on it inherently. Not ALL good people can get away with NOT spanking. Some need to, others don't. Good people can get away with it.
Eg: My parents.
Even though I didn't say that in the first place and Bardock is right
