Teenager Whoopin For Acting Hard On Facebook (Vid)

Liela, I'm sorry that you had to endure both physical and emotional abuse as a child. That really really sucks.

But choosing between the two is akin to choosing between getting shot in the face or being slowly bled to death by cutting a major blood vessel. Sure, if forced to choose between the two, I guess anyone would choose the gunshot. Who would want to slowly bleed out to death?
Then again, who really would want to be shot in the face? ...

Here's the facts, folks, based on psychological study:

When young people are beaten, their brains learn that beatings are "normal", "harmless", or even "good for you". This causes development in the brain similar to what occurs to victims of "battered wife syndrome".
Furthermore, once violence is hard-wired into a young person's brain, it is permanent. So while a spanking does not "turn someone into a musclebound blood-lusting cretin", as some hyperbolic numskull suggested in this thread, it DOES PERMANENTLY hard-wire the child's brain to accept and condone violence as commonplace, acceptable and "no big deal".

You can not argue against this. It's scientific fact.

Those of you that are advocating for corporal punishment for children, you're all blind and innocent victims of this abuse, so I don't blame you, and I do feel compassion for you. As I said before, you deserved much better, probably.

You can go on praising you fathers for "beating some sense into you" or such drivel. But when you do that, think about the battered-wife syndrome. You're the SAME as the wife who keeps coming back to the man who beats her ... coming back to get more of that good tough lovin'.

oh yeah, because the government knows how to raise kids. *** morons. If you take away the means to discipline children, then the government might as well adopt them all. Next thing you know, they'll ban parents from telling their kids what to do. Before you know it, no form of discipline or guidance will be allowed when it comes to a child, leaving them to do whatever the *** they want.

edit: Soon the country is gonna raise a bunch of *** whiny, pussy children with no sense of responsibility, moral fiber, and discipline.

then it escalates to hitting, none of it is acceptable

Wow... just wow... You actually compared spanking to wife beating. That has got to be the greatest/worst analogy used anywhere. The sheer awesomeness of the failure can't be expressed in words.

He didn't even hit him hard w/ it

Yes, I'm sure 70% of parents do use corporal punishment, if the poll's definition of corporal punishment is any type of physical contact used for discipline.

As stated previously, a spanking is FAR different from a dozen belt-whippings, as seen in the OP video.

You don't think so?
Ok then, how about this?
You can choose:
A. one one-second zap from a tazzer set on a low intensity, or
B. a dozen five-second doses of electricity from sticking a conductive metal fork into an electrical outlet while drenched in water.

Are they the same? If they are, then I suppose you wouldn't mind if I flip a coin to decide which one receive?

I wonder why.

Clearly you have ignored Minnesota's Supreme court ruling on someone who spanked their kid 36 times with a maple paddle and who was declared innocent by the Minnesota Supreme Court. This has since then set a legal precedent.

how about this, parents who use time outs as punishment and parents who use spankings and belt whippings as punishment stay the *** out of their opposite's business

it's not the parents business I care about, it's the child's safety. If you abuse your child, you should be thrown in jail.

Why do you care so much about some random child's safety?

I wonder if Scragg has even bothered to see what has become of his thread?

if it's abuse

spankings and belts are not abuse

I really hope Jet and Elan don't breed.
