Uncle of the year?

[Darth Cruel]

lol. thats one thing I'll admit is I deserved every whoopin I got.

Hell yes. I will never be able to complain about the justice of those spankings.

 

[DiFabio]

Few people know what a real ass whooping is.

Switches, belts, paddles...even whips if anyone ever got those used on them...all weak.


My mom (with love and respect, she has passed on) used to walk me into the kitchen, drop my laundry, put my hands on the refridgerator door handle, and tell me "you better hold on tight".

Then she would go to work on my bare butt with a wire coathanger. I don't think she ever made the effort for fewer than 10 swings and she was not the kind to hold back on them.

I laugh at people who think they ever got a "real" spanking.

Hahaha, for me it was the wooden spoon with holes in it.

"No more than three, no less than two"

She had to catch me around the dining room table first.

lol. so many kids nowdays will never know what its like to get a good ol fashion ass whoopin.

What this world needs is more child beatings.

 

[The Ween]

I was never beat. I was a good girl!

 

[devilof76]

I think after the first time my dad gave one of us (there were 4) the belt, big old ex-Marine, Vietnam vet from the streets of Dorchester, MA that he was, he couldn't bring himself to do it again. My mom always beat herself up if she lost control and slapped one of us.

Both of them had this crazy idea that reason was a better strategy than violence. If we couldn't figure out on our own what was right and wrong, beating us into submission wasn't going to do it either, and they decided it wasn't worth it to have raising their hand against their own children on their conscience.

YES. yes we CANE.

its all good if done appropriately(not really a CANE per se) IMO.

 

[devilof76]

For humiliation, yeah. I get that. And it works up to a point.

But I don't really think the kid in this video learned a thing. Atleast, not what he was supposed to.

 

[karamazov80]

They say withholding affection is more effective than a beating, but I don't know. Emotional/psychological and physical punishment both have pros and cons I suppose.

 

[devilof76]

With my dad, I think the fact that he had killed people at the age of 20 made striking his children at 30 intolerable.

 

[jonny88]

AWESOME. That's what it is nowadays though, too many young punks trying to act 'hard' when really they are a bunch of sissies. They are only 'real men' when they are rolling with their crew and have guns.

even when they are rolling with their crew and have guns they are still sissies. all talk and no walk for the most part.

 

[jonny88]

remember if you beat your kids as punishment in modern day the way they did in the day, your kids will become drug addicts, and their excuse will be, "my parents abused me as a child." heard this on Intervention a 100 times.

 

[Darth Cruel]

See how the third kid didn't even need to get beat?

'Nuff said.

Edit - I think that the people who make a big stink out of spankings are creating a problem where there is not one.

 

[devilof76]

Spankings are one thing. Pretty sure that only takes a bare hand, though.

 

[devilof76]

Of course, if one of my father's children had ever assaulted another child, physically abused an animal, or something of the like, you can bet he'd show you exactly what you did wrong.

For some reason, none of us ever did. We also all have no concept of other people taking responsibility for our mistakes. None of us believes in government handouts of any kind, none of us believes the government should soak the rich, none of us expects the law to control people's behavior, or condition them in any way, and all of us have an extreme sense of justice.

You can make any argument you want for the effectiveness corporal punishment, but I can tell you from first hand experience that it's completely unnecessary if you raise your children to be willing and able to think for themselves.

It works more off the cause and effect principal. If a kid touches a hot burner they will get burned and will know not to touch it again,well if a kid gets into trouble and get a whoopin they will know not to get into trouble anymore. Personally I don't have anything against people who don't spank nor am I against spankings.
I'm completely neutral. If you don't spank then thats fine and if you do than youre the parent and its up to you to decide how to raise your child.

 

[devilof76]

I just believe in teaching natural cause and effect (i.e., rational). To spank or not is volitional, and if a child doesn't enact a physically violent cause, it's cognitively abusive to respond with a physically violent effect.

Of course, if they're very young and need a reminder of the pecking order, a sharp slap on the ass is a pretty clear vehicle to clarify dominance, and I have no issue with that.

Ouch. I strongly disagree with this. Spankings are not abuse in any way. They are nothing more than a discipline option for parents. There is no evil in them and I find it wrong to try to condition people to believe they are abuse.

 

[devilof76]

Who's conditioning people?

I just have a stricter definition of what constitutes a spanking than traditional childrearing.
