Neither.

Take away whatever they treasure most. It'd be the closest analogy to whatever law punishment they'd get for a crime.

Good point, and that would work just as well as spanking. But like Tiger Guy pointed out, it depends on the traits and characteristic of the child. What might work for one kid probably won't work for the other. I know some kids would just move onto another thing until it was time to get back whatever was taken from them.

"Then take away whatever else they grab as well."

and it just goes on and on...

I'm not trying to prove that spanking a child is the only and best way to raise a child, because it's not. I'm just trying to say that, if handled responsibly, spanking can be effective and not as harmful to the kid as most people believe.

I don't really give a shit either. I just found it funny how inconsistent your own arguments were.

Tiger Guys exaggerating the repercussions, and you're exaggerating it's merits.

Just stop it, this isn't even what the thread was for. Tiger Guy even pointed out how ridiculous it was that everyone flipped over a single sentence.

And Tiger Guy, if I hear you use the term "rhythmically slapping" one more fucking time, I swear to god I'm going to play football with a baby.

Using the baby as a football.

Yes, I am mad, and I know I'm being a vacuous cunt about it.

Fuck.

I'm to tired to care anymore. Good night guys.

All I know is that my little sister is a little shit, and my parents divorced when she was early enough for her not to have been brought up with my dad.

[ursus]

My parents stopped spanking me when I was about five or six years old.

Make of that what you will.

Another protip: When I threw a tantrum, they would put my head under a cold shower.

Just say spanking and not your wise-ass term for it, Tiger.


But it's already been a proven method of discipline in society. Go to your middle-aged neighbors house, ask them if they got their ass spanked, go across the street to another neighbors house, and ask. Ask almost any sensible adult you can find if they got spanked in their childhood while still retaining a successful relationship with their parents.

It sounds to me you count spanking as first hand child abuse, where a drunken, beer-belly'd stepdad comes home from the bar and beats the beloved crap out of you with a belt with no love/remorse afterwards...only more scotch.
