Completely agree!!

@vancitypoet " this is why this generations children are by far the worst of any other" by "worst" what do you mean?
-
@totheman this is why this generations children are by far the worst of any other, because parents are too damn lenient and forgiving, pretty much, AFRAID of their own kids. Both this moron and yourself live in some astral plain far, far away from this universe.

@vancitypoet You're trying to rationalize the abuse you received from people who were supposed to care for you by justifying their actions on a conclusion that you couldn't possibly know.

Just like tapping a dog on the head when it messes up big time, if your kid is running rampant, sometimes you need to give he or she a good smack, it worked on little house on the prairie, and it worked for me. This guy apparently either doesn't have any kids or hasn't been around any bad ones. He reminds me of people who are against the death penalty, but have never had anyone around them who have been brutally murdered by a sick psycho, or like a fat guy trying to tell you how to diet, lol.

@residentemojacob We should use other methods of correcting, ex: teaching them at early ages, passing down traditional values, praising/scolding, using some sort of fear or light threat as punishment. Hitting the children should be used as a last resort. Never show emotion when you are hitting your child because he/she will pick up bad habits from it. If you do hit your child, do it out of love and not out of spite.

@residentemojacob It can be if the parent hits out of fury/anger and not discipline/tough love. It's because of parents like that we have this debate. But trust me, real parents who know how to correct their kids with physical punishment make some of the finest human beings on the planet. The point is that both methods should be used to correct children.

@residentemojacob Actually, he is right. The term he used is called conditioning. Whether it's classic conditioning or not, it's an actual psychological term. He is not lying. But what most people need to realize is that hitting your children is not immoral or abusive.
and sorry, but does anybody know how and where i can be part of an organization or a club or something that is for childrens rights agaisnt corporal punishment? i really feel the need to fight this alongside with other people, i know you can just make a huge difference by not smacking your own children, but still it would mean so much if somebody could let me know.

- What are you teaching children, consciously and unconsciously by physically abusing them? It's degrading and it only creates their own latent feelings of violence. We should evolve past this archaic means of correction.
