That’s actually a misconception. You can do everything right and still get railroaded the world is harsh and unfair. The notion that you can protect your kids by beating them is asinine. All you’re just doing is inviting domestic violence and an unsafe environment in to your home. People have been locked up despite being innocent. Shot for following police instruction and so on. Beating your kids isn’t going to help them avoid arbitrary sentences, harassment, or police violence

Spanking and abuse are not the same, just saying.

explain how you think it isnt?

ive said it previously but i think you are spanking a child to cause pain. why? to teach them that pain means don't do something? why does pain have to be in the equation especially with a child you should love and care for?

you wouldn't be able to do it to someone bigger than you or they may overpower you and fight back. a child can't fight back and a much larger adult is angry enough to cause pain to them. that seems like a terrible thing to do to a child.

if the whole idea is to teach consequences for actions, there are much better ways than hitting a child, whether you do it for love or not.

Pain is a good teacher. Its probably the best teacher. You don't soon forget pain. That makes spanking an effective discipline tool. That's how nature intended it. If you put your hand in fire, and it burns, what do you not do again? The "other ways" you guys talk about simply dont work. Pain does. See how that works? It seems kind of sad that I have to explain this to what I am assuming is a fully grown adult?

Semantics are not arguments, just saying.
