don't forget to give your self a spanking before you leave here

[russia11spain]

I am 11 and am spanked a lot simply because I'm a troublemaker and when I'm spanked I do right for a bit but I get good grades so do all of my siblings and we will most likely turn out fine and really scientists and physcologists really really piss me off cause they say a lot of bullshit for the sake of saying bullshit

[malicepenguin1]

@ohiospankster YOUR A TWAT!!!!!!!

[mickey3348]

Fucking pervert father!

[atvman1000]

@ohiospankster wow dude im just saying there is a difference between spanking and beating but it would be more of a lack of love of a good example that makes kids turn into druggies and what not. think about it, would the mother being a thief, whore and a drug addict cause the child to most likely follow that way because of how he was taught as a child, or because he was not spanked.

[atvman1000]

ohiospankster i see that but if cp just stops them from beng violent yet they want to wouldnt it be more of the lack of love and a good example from their parents than the lack of cp because i know kids who cuss back to their parents because their parents do the same thing to them and i know a teenager who admits that spanking still has its place but its really more of the parents fault not sparing the rod.

[LiveFromTheBoondocks]

Okay, what were they eating? It just looks like big hunks of raw potatoes on the kid's plate.

[matthewrcollins]

Given that you write with more than a hint of the threat of violence, who would want to travel to Cleveland to say anything to your face? Were you perhaps spanked?

[1960JNW]

Regarding the film clip I thought it was well acted. The father is clearly unnecessary strict regarding the possession of an obviously inoffensive magazine but the spanking that follows shows him as someone who is also fare (The quite discussion he had with his son regarding his ruddiness. His decision to swap the belt for his hand and the spanking though painful was not brutal.

[Lunamation]

Thank you for proving my point.

[Lunamation]

Apparently, either not spanking, or education, produces people who don't know how to behave politely in society, judging from your language. (I'm not taking a position on spanking, just sarcastic about "education." I'm skeptical that anyone has a clue about psychology.)

[jhn128]

spare the rod, and spoil the child. That holds true to this day. I grew up with kids who were, and weren't spanked. The ones that were ended up making something of themselves while those who weren't were spoiled and never did anything. It may be that the parents didn't raise them right, but in the end a good spanking isn't the worst thing in the world. It lets kids know that there are consequences for their actions...

[whatsupee]

I was spanked. And not only did it hurt but it showed me that the way i was behaving hurt my parents even more. Spanking showed me that I was the one actually causing all the pain, not only on myself but more importantly on others. It was a good discipline and I needed it.

[pumpkinbrains101]

im 3 and can type on the keyboard

[kawaiianca]

It was effective to me! After a hard spanking from my dad, I was good for a few months, lol. ;)

I am a parent now but I try to avoid phisical punishments. But in some cases, one good smack with a rod is VER effective. Especially to preschool kids. :)

[JohnnyDart76]

@kawaiianca: Are you joking? My dad occasionally lost control of his temper, and would smack us{usually on the forehead for some reason}, not really out of malice, but largely because he couldn't help himself.................{I think I may have developed additional issues because of that.}

[Shukria123]

I live in Canada, and you can't spank your kids here.

[DNewenglander]

We can tell.

[drobin3149]

I won't want to be smacked around by Walter Huston. Myrna Loy said he was a sadist (as a director).

[manga12]

if you are going to do it, it should be like this, in that you explain to the kid why they are getting it and then not out of anger, that only teaches violence, still there are usally better ways to get the message across, beating for everthing is no substatute for proper attention that kids needs, also the tv is no substatute for looking after kids. both extreams very bad.

[nobux60]

Exactly. Paddling has been replaced with disobedience. Parents must be more responsible by taking back their own children from government indoctrination (school system) and the garbage they watch on TV among a list of other things. If children are going to be punished for something they shouldn't be punished for, and not punished for something they should be, you can't blame it on paddling. Parents who show genuine love their children and proper discipline will be a light to their path.

[atterolevad]

talking about a double standard. too many parents like you say to your kids do as i say not as i do. if you dont want your child smoking,you dont smike, if you dont want them cursing you dont curse and if you dont want them hitting you dont hit. anything else is pure hypocracy and any intelligent child can see it. there is a reason the Bible teaches agaist it you know.

[nobux60]

Don't give the liberal spin about double standards. What you are saying is to be a model for children.  Very good! But....children also grow with a mind of their own too. And there are times they will need to be corrected, and with the paddle if necessary. They can accept and take responsibility for it, or deny responsibility and "hit" somebody else by claiming they were "hit" too. I was paddled more then once in 7th grade, and knew why. I didn't blamed my parents for it either.

[atterolevad]

Liberal spin? what could be more liberal then giving the government the right to hit your child in schools,and letting tax dollars pay for it. anyway it sounds like to me that you are against parents taking any accountability for there failures. they insist on using failing parenting practices and then blame the child when the parenting technique doesnt work.

[nobux60]

You still don't get it. I have already given incidences of parental responsibility more than once for their children. This is the reason why the law goes to the parents first. You also gave the fairy tale idea that what ever the parent does as an example, the child will just naturally follow. Parents are responsible to teach their children Well, not "accountable for their children's actions." It is the child who becomes "accountable" for their own actions if they decide another way.

[davluc1]

so what you are saying is that a parent can spark huge amounts of rebellion into the child through beating them constantly growing up and if it has a negative effect on the child . it is the childs fault....your insane!

[nobux60]

No, you are saying that. I'm not sure if you are really reading my posts, or if you are dissecting my words to give this kind of argument. I said beating them constantly? Your argument suggests that parents can make the child (Who is now a grown adult) negative without much self control. Constant beatings and constant rebellion are a sign that something else is wrong. But remove spanking entirely and the kid will stop rebelling, because they will have finally gotten their own way.

[guidav123]

you said that a child will get there way if spankings are removed.. this has been prooven false in every scientific study. spankings are the least effective method. teaching a child that violence is not the answer to lifes problems is a huge contradiction when you are hitting them to solve your problem with them. doesnt matter how often or little you do it any intelligent child see's the contradiction and looses respect for the hipocritical parent.

[JohnnyDart76]

@guidav123: I'm just glad that the majority of people alive today have never been whipped; or we would be in a MUCH worse condition than we are already in now.

[JohnnyDart76]

@atterolevad: "anyway it sounds like to me that you are against parents taking any accountability for there failures. they insist on using failing parenting practices and then blame the child when the parenting technique doesnt work."

Exactly. There are still, and may always be, a few parents who will absolutely refuse to take responsibility for their screw-ups.{Kids who grow up like that, are also a major source of our nation's criminal population.}

[manga12]

The thing I find is that some are all too egger to whip their kids, and in the two cases in the last three months of a stranger beating someone elses kid is wrong its not their place to do so.

Whiping should be one of the last resorts and not the first.

Making a kid fear you is no substatute for love and teaching them right from wrong.

[nobux60]

manga, I completely agree. The problem is the misconception that this kind of punishment is supposed to be banned altogether...don't even dare to think it....we are living in the 21st century!! This is just another "new age" attitude, along with many other silly ideas. There is a proper balance. Children shouldn't be beaten out of impulse, and strangers Should be arrested! A school teacher isn't a stranger, and should first be required to confer with parents first.

[manga12]

Yes its food for thought all the things of it you say. There is also one more thing that is missing from the nation these days, and that is common sence, the kind of governace our contry has been under is lunacy, lets spend more money and drive ourselves deeper into debt, and letting the government grow this big manage our heathcare, they cant even manage their own affairs why should they manage ours. The Gov. should be there for its people but, not the only source of stuff for its people.

[Shortandslicked911]

You are absolutely right . Children have to be taught right from wrong but hitting them is not the way to do it . As a last resort let them know they will be spanked if they continue to misbehave , that should be enough of a deterrent .

[SoundlessRie]

@manga12

i have permission to spank my neice and nephew and I hardly do it. But when theres no other way theres no other way.

[JohnnyDart76]

@manga12: Exactly.

Thankfully, the majority of people have never gone through that kind of abuse{whipping}........but a large majority of those that did? Well, let's just say, they will be/were some sort of f***ed up their whole lives, including criminal activity.

[lorrainewands]

@manga12 I agree with you: physical punishment should be a last resort, but it SHOULD BE a resort. Abuse is NEVER right. Punishing a child to prove a point, out of anger, or merely because the parent or adult in question is a sick, sadistic person is never right. Punshiment by spanking should not be so looked down upon, though. Ugh, I'm digging myself a hole! There's a such a fine line, but discipline today simply is not sufficient.

[Samalamalamdam]

One striking aspect of this scene is the fact that the father doesn't seem to display any anger when he delivers the spanking. I got the impression that he didn't really want to do it, but felt it was an obligation of sorts, given that he was probably spanked as a child as well.

[bcrocker33]

i agree.

[JohnnyDart76]

@Samalamalamdam: Yeah............that wasn't too bad.

[Crazydog7]

They have put sugar in the kid's hair or something. 30s films were always wonderful for lameass child acting.

[MissyHolland]

What a gyp and a tease. The solemn march for the prominently displayed strap, then that's cast aside and all we see is the horse!! LOL Animals do get agitated when the person they've bonded with gets hit., though.

[JubalCalif]

What a strict father! Spanking the boy just because he obtained some Harper's Monthly magazines. But I suppose the paternal chastisement is more for disobedience & acting disrespectfully than over the magazines themselves. At least the scene shows he's not a brutal man. He ends up not using the strap after all. Walter Huston I'm sure was a strong man. It must have hurt when palm met posterior (even on the boy's clothed bottom). But that strap I'm also sure would have hurt a LOT more! Ouch1

[andyunderground]

I like hove nice and respectful the boy bed over his dads knee to to get his spanking.

[nexttimewelove51]

Too bad times have changed. Maybe the kid's today would behave better. There's not the "spanking" discipline today like their should be. This was a very meaningful movie. And you just have to love Jimmy Stewart.

[123foritall]

i agree

[guidav123]

kids today do get hit very often. everyone i have ever known has gotten whipped quiet often. where are all of these non-spanked kids at that you refer to . all i see in life are spanked kids and they all still act up.

[nobux60]

Spanking isn't the problem, in it's proper place it is the solution like it used to be . Look around at the double standard of society and the problem is easy to find. It begins in the family with the parents authority. (Or lack of it) And their methods of discipline, or lack of proper discipline. Look at the trash in video games or TV. And the filthy mouths of peers in school or handing out condoms to children. The paddle didn't cause this. A limp wristed society did. (character limit)

[atterolevad]

where i come from every child gets spanked and every child is very horrible behaved. every parent that i hear talking about spanking there child always says things like there so mean they wont listen to anything. meanwhile my daughter is the only child i have ever known that has never got spanked by anyone ever. and she gets the highest praise from every teacher she has ever had and gets awards such as the citisenship award.

[nobux60]

I don't know where that is you come from but by all means that is the world I already said is the problem. There are also children who were spanked and got high awards too. Your position doesn't make an exception to anything. The problem is that children's behavior keeps deteriorating. Paddling in schools has been removed, and students behavior isn't improving.

[atterolevad]

you clearly havent researched this issue. there are still 21 states in the usa that still use the paddle. some states can do it without even haveing parents permission. so yes the government is taking away your parental rights. even one of the students responsible for the calombine shootings was spanked at school the day before the shootings. it really did him alot of good. violence begets violence.

[JohnnyDart76]

@atterolevad: "where i come from every child gets spanked and every child is very horrible behaved. every parent that i hear talking about spanking there child always says things like there so mean they wont listen to anything."

Too bad. I'm glad that your daughter is doing well, though...........kinda wish I was that lucky.

[JohnnyDart76]

@guidav123: I'm sorry you had such bad luck. Most people don't really go thru beatings and whippings...........the occasional light spanking, maybe.

I'm personally thankful; if the majority of kids were whipped, we would have so many more criminals, basket cases, etc., than we already have to deal with.

[UnderlyingProblem]

Im 11 and i get spanked by my dad

[michaelwright999]

times have changed thank god.

[guidav123]

The world wonders why kids take guns to school i wonder where they learn violence solves there problems...hum!

[anonmonen]

You missed the point, when you were allowed to give kids a good hiding, no-one took guns and knives to school. Now you're not allowed to, kids are little ba****ds!! Bring back the cane, belt, whip, ruler! Thats what I say!!!

[guidav123]

you sir are an idiot. every kid i ever have none growing up was hit in some way or another, and they are all crazy trouble makers. if you think hitting children is what defers bad behavior i feel sorry for you. if anything hitting them teaches them that violence is the way to handle problems.

[bcrocker33]

so you are saying if we still had the cane, belt, etc. there would be no guns and knives in school. i disagree. things evolve regardless like computers and games. kids don't go outside today and get fresh air. take away stupid video games like grand theft auto and have proper family time...when they had corporal punishment in school family units were more in tact also. if a boy got the strap in my school he beat up kids at recess. anger. i believe in spanking but not implements.

[SpaceComics]

Not to argue with your point, but actually in those days the kids did take guns and knives to school, and used them to hunt on the way home...even as late as the 1970s here in the west. But they used them on food, not people.

[nobux60]

Many years ago when I was in school, we were disciplined with the paddle, and our behavior was much better then. There are all these claims that hitting it leads to violence. The paddle sure isn't the blame for the ways children act like now, especially being that paddling is being banned all over the US.

Nothing indicates school children are getting any better....they are just getting worse.

[JohnnyDart76]

@nobux60:

"Many years ago when I was in school, we were disciplined with the paddle, and our behavior was much better then."

You got this where now? There has been plenty of evidence over the years that paddlings and beatings, for the VAST majority of people, only leads to criminal activity, mental illness, and other unsavory things. Be grateful this isn't what the majority of kids have ever gone thru{at least, not in the last century}, or we would have so many more problems.

[SoundlessRie]

@anonmonen

I am Rie and I approve this message

[JohnnyDart76]

@anonmonen: F*** off. In fact, this kind of thinking has been responsible for more societal problems more than anything else.

[decozxxx]

why is there only sound and no pic all other videos are ok ?????

[SpaceComics]

@decozxxx I don't know what happened, I can't see either -- but when I go into edit (just added annotations), I can see the video. What's up with that?

[MissyHolland]

@SpaceComics I can't see anything except a black screen and, curiously, the actors names. I can hear spotty audio.

[maybe1princess]

@anonmonen I don't disagree with you there but I say parents also have the responsibility not to lose their temper when disciplining a child with a belt or so. My dad once lost his temper when spanking my brother with the belt, later when my brother was sleeping on the bed my mom came in and saw bruises on his legs where my dad had spanked him so hard.

[CJFortune94]

@anonmonen although I agree with you, kids arent the same as they used to be either, There is a shorter innocence period and they grow up faster and know more then they used to. Take the internet, phones, and all those information devices they constantly use and they learn about things they normally would not know. They lose innocence and in some cases morals. Kids bringing guns to school shows a lack of parental guidance and connection that is the problem that needs to be fixed. and bad teacher

[chrismc410]

@anonmonen That only works until the kid is big enough and strong enough to defend himself. What then? Yes, usually the parent wins in that case but there have been times that wasn't the case. What do you do then?

[redneck500]

@anonmonen I don't need to bring it back, it never left!

[LMA629]

@anonmonen the trouble kids are typically inner city kids. inner city kids are typically minorities. not trying to sound racist here, but whens the last time you've ever heard of a black mama who was afraid to pull out a can of whoop ass on her kids? exactly. thus, the trouble kids are typically the one getting hit.

[5567256]

cool

[nexttimewelove51]

I watched the movie. I thought it was great. I feel the reason why the boy didn't cry in front of his father is because it's just a boy/man thing. They were taught not to show their feelings in front of people.

[evan22303]

Did the actors really spank the kid actors for real?

or did they slap a surface to make the sound?

[saijonmaa]

What an obedient boy!!!

[ashlie700]

But he didn't seem too upset before they went in the woodshed. Was it what his father said at the end?

[jmkly04]

Of Human Hearts was an excellent movie. I had seen it several times growing up and this scene was so memmorable. Thanks for posting!

[octobur18]

thats stupid. why doesnt hid dad just whip him in the kitchen?

[OXOtwo]

Because the horse wouldnt have got cut so the boy could repair it.

[waddeverland]

Back in those days they for some reason always took the kids out to the woodshed for a spanking.

[crimsonknight2008]

what kind o f magazines damn whip  over reading a magazine ??

[veryegregious]

Harper's Monthly, first published in 1850.

[flurry345]

Aww that was so sweet

[favclbnotk]

It's just a movie. Perhaps he put the strap down because the idea is he wasn't feeling it, so he used his hand?

[EliseCharlotte]

Why does the boy cry? Because of the spanking?

Love this scene, it's so cute, thanks god the father didn't strapped him.

[nineballaddict]

I think he feels hurt because his father did not believe him.

[jmkly04]

disappointing your parents hurts more than the spanking, and thats why the boy was crying.

[luvtheclassics]

I think he cries because he wants his father to see his side of things and not feel that he is rebellious.

[Paljoey]

I never saw the movie or read the book. Why is the boy so stubborn?

[9aspengold5]

Aren't most kids age stubborn? !!!

[PaddleHunter]

I agree.

[LILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

aww nice horsie

[crimsonknight2008]

horsie didnt like it either
