Explain why hitting an equal is worse than hitting someone smaller than you who you are supposed to protect.

Speaking from a purely moral perspective and not a legal one, if your job is to rear a child then it falls to you to address how to punish them when you deem they've acted out. Spanking is one method and, while not warranted in every case, would definitely be used if I ever heard my 4 year old tell anyone shut the fuck up especially a person of authority who they should defer to such as a teacher. This is what my parents would do to me and it is what everyone's parents would do who grew up in my time and place. (Actually, I can tell you if this happened in my school growing up first the teacher would spank you, then the principal/administrator, THEN the spanking you got when you got home would be the worst of all).

You mentioned the parental aspect of protection. I would argue not punishing them at appropriate times would be tantamount to not protecting them. If you haven't drilled it into the very core of their being to respect authority and others then there's no telling what kind of trouble they may get into at later ages.

The very definition of assault;
make a physical attack on.

Corporal punishment only constitutes child abuse and the legal definition of assault once it becomes excessive, as I understand it.

KI_Simpson posted...

Then why is hitting an adult who says something hateful assault?

Because hitting an adult who has only said something would make you the aggressor. It's not your job to "fix" an adult who has said something hateful; conversely it is within your right as a parent to spank a child if they have acted out as long as it hasn't reached the point of becoming excessive.

In a good chunk of the world, it legally is assault. If its not where you live, that just means that your country needs to update its legislation.

https://reliefweb.int/report/world/international-day-end-corporal-punishment-only-14-worlds-children-legally-protected-corporal-punishment

This says only 65 countries have outlawed corporal punishment. So considering there's far more countries that consider it legal, it's disingenuous to act like it's some backwards practice that only regressive countries lagging behind the pack still practice when in actuality so few countries actually have legislation for it.

KI_Simpson posted...

I don't hit children for offending me either. Now explain why you only approve of assaulting children.

Spanking a child who has acted out is not assault.

KI_Simpson posted...

Still no response to TC about why hitting a kid for saying shut the fuck up is okay, but hitting another adult who is bigoted against you isn't.

Hitting another adult who isn't physically attacking you is assault. Do you just go around hitting people you disagree with?

'Whooping' a child is abuse.

The fact that you think it isn't is problematic.

Spanking a child for no reason is child abuse.

Spanking a child who has just told the teacher to shut the fuck up is not child abuse.

You're arguing in bad faith, making it sound like abuse.

Glob posted...

Why would I care about that? Did you miss the part where I explicitly stated that I dont have the faith that you do?

Because every man, woman, and child on Earth is subject to the words contained within that book.

Glob posted...

My upbringing was plenty gruesome enough, thanks. Also, as others have pointed out, you havent actually grown up.

This is rich coming from you. I'm seemingly the only one here raised to believe in correcting a child's behavior if they're out of control. That was what happened in my generation and every generation before me. We've only started sparing the rod recently and, let me tell you, the results are evident.

Glob posted...

Having a belief in God doesnt make you a bad person. It doesnt make you a good one either. The same is true of a lack of belief in God.

I have some bad news for you. That isn't what the Bible says.

Glob posted...

Thats because they are both abuse.

Most certainly not.

You guys wouldn't have survived growing up the way I did

Glob posted...

Im very good without God in my life and Im confident that Ive had a more positive impact on the world than you have.

You're living wrong if God isn't in your life. And... most certainly not haha.

pnut027 posted...

It wont go anywhere. The law draws a distinction between child abused and spankings.

The problem with people who have bleedin hearts is they make no distinction between abuse and common spanking.

Glob posted...

If your God thinks that hitting kids is not only okay, but necessary, hes a dickhead. Its actually very comforting that he doesnt exist.

You could use some God in your life. Proverbs 13:24 would be a good starting point for you:

whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

A better way to raise a child is to teach them critical thinking skills and let them realize God doesnt exist on their own.

And let them end up some Godless heathen? Yeah... no.

Glob posted...

If you teach children that problems can be solved by violence, that might makes right, and that they only need to listen to you as long as they fear you, youve certainly not done a good job of raising them.

You're goddamn right your child should fear acting out. If you don't put the fear of God in them from an early age you're gonna end up with the kid in this video. If you don't lead the kid, they're going to end up leading you.

ai123 posted...

What is silly is that you think (or choose to think) that the only options are 'no punishment' and 'public beating'.

And that the only way to communicate 'better expectations' to a child is through violence and pain.

Certain actions require punitive measures. If you do not instill this in your children at an early age, then you can't even say you've raised them.

If I saw a kid get 'whooped', I'd be worrying about a lot more than their bad language.

And I would have some very serious questions about the parents' 'feelings'.

Oh of course. We shouldn't punish kids who act this way. How silly of me. It'd be crazy to make them feel better is expected of them.

This obviously shouldn't be taken as an indictment against the character of all rich people.

Glob posted...

Its entirely possible that theyre doing nothing to address the behaviour. Its equally possible that they are but it hasnt worked yet.

It's obviously the first one.

Glob posted...

Maybe so, but that doesnt necessarily mean that its learned from them.

But it does mean they've had time to step in and teach him to stop that. Now if they stepped in and snatched his ass and whooped him in front of everyone I'd know exactly where he learned it from and no one would question their feelings on his behavior.

All bad behavior isn't always learned from the parents.

They reacted like he does this all the time

THIS is how it is done. Imparting wisdom while stopping the fight.... if our school systems weren't so soft then EVERY teacher should be as courageous as this man. Not just to stop to fight but to give them something at school they clearly aren't getting elsewhere!

I got indicted for nothing for something that is nothing, Trump said to applause.

And a lot of people said that thats why the Black people like me, because theyve been hurt so badly and discriminated against. And they actually viewed me as Im being discriminated against."

This is why he said that. You're the one turning it into a "black people must be criminals" thing.

The owner class bases itself on stealing from the working class, so piracy isn't so much theft as it is reclamation.

How can you "reclaim" something if you never owned it to begin with. Such twisted, stupid logic.

Trolling is just the blanket way of modding things mods don't like. I got hit for trolling because I was "posting false information as a fact" when I said AoC wanted to abolish ICE. I linked 10 different articles to back up my claim, making sure they used the word "abolish", including 2 interviews so there was no chance that the writer of the article was making that putting words in her mouth. Moderation upheld, of course.

Conventional logic-making and evidence to back it up is not enough if the mod simply fights for the other side.

No one at the CPAC conference was asked about civil war. This is some bullshit put forth by the lying media. Thanks.

Then it's another house that's not going towards supporting a family that could use it. I'm not telling TC what he should or shouldn't do with his money or his property. But In a housing crisis, and inflation the way it is, selling to somebody who is just going to try and turn it into a profit themselves is very short-sighted, to say the least.

When did they start ISBN numbers. Does the Magna Carta, for instance, have an ISBN.

Also, is it " Aye Ess Bee Inn" or "Is-Been"???

Is that when the universe will overflow and start over
