Kids who are spanked are more likely to be aggressive and antisocial.

Umm...

Maybe because kids who AREN'T spanked aren't likely to be aggressive and antisocial?

It's like saying that prison doesn't work because criminals are likely to commit more crimes. That's not because prisons don't work, it's because violent criminals shouldn't be on the street and allowed to commit more crimes.

Idiot liberals in Austin and Michigan.

In a college class one time, the instructor made a reference to the "fact" that confined inmates were almost without exception, had been subjected to "abuse" by parental spanking.

Me, with my big mouth and no significant clutch control, asked the 30+ class how many had ever been spanked as a child. Every hand went up. Then I asked how many had ever spent a night in a cell.

Only my hand went up.

So OK- it was more or less voluntary. I got into this bus station (Pendelton OR) at midnight- and then it closed down until 7 or so. So I was out on the street, in December, with my suitcase...

Cops came by, and inquired, then offered me a bunk. Hell, they didn't even lock the door. Made pretty good coffee in the morning too.

I pretty much liked those guys.

And to her credit, the liberal instructor actually gave me a fair grade.. Amazing!

My parents research on the same subject matter showed results exactly opposite of those clowns.....just ask my 58 year old ass.

Best opinion on the subject that I know of is;

"He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." Prov. 13:24



Yes, I cling to my guns too.

I DO agree with them when they say that SOME kids need to be spanked, some kids do not. Removing the option because the state thinks they can parent better than me, is where we part ways. Damn busybodies.

With my kids, we spank and started at a very young age. Not very often, but we give a well timed whack to the bum when it counts, and believe me, it is very effective.

I've seen parents absolutely ruin kids though by spanking at every opportunity, to make up for horrible parenting and a kids needs not being fulfilled. I've seen 2 year old kids in turn, punch their moms in the face, which starts a cycle of abuse between parents/kids. Watching some parents interact, or not interact with their young kids can be painful.

I spanked my daughters who are now 22 & 25 years old one time each when they were about 2, both are happy, healthy well adjusted adults. The spanking got their attention and from that time they were taught that their actions carried consequences, good actions were rewarded and bad resulted in early bedtime a penalty both really disliked. Both were scholar athletes throughout their high school and college years, the oldest graduating Summa Cum Laude. They are now pursuing careers in accounting and physical therapy.

I had six siblings growing up. We were spanked, and spanked hard at times, but only when we deserved it.
One brother did spend a few nights in jail, drugs.
He and the rest of us are responsible contributors to society, married, "working" (retired in two of us) and we all seem to have very normal lives.
We swatted our kids on the butt a few times, but really did not spank much.
They are doing great career and "life" wise.

We got our butts lit up too, I agree with it, also believe a child has to learn quickly the consequences of bad decisions/actions, if they don't, there's a chance they'll learn it at the end of a homeowners 12 ga or in a prison cell.

Where I see problems are with parents that are not consistent with their spankings. They will let a kid get by with something several times before spanking. We got one warning and that was it. We knew to listen when it happened if we wanted to avoid pain. I hear parents say over and over, "if you don't quit that, I am going to whip you." Sometimes they do and most times they don't. This creates a problem. miles

Very good post sir... Very good..

Agreed, I've seen moms counting to there kids in stores, one......two...thre.one......two......

If dad snapped his fingers and pointed at you or banged his knuckles on the cypress wall behind his chair because we were getting to rowdy in the house, you best heed the warning.

It is far easier for them to be disciplined when they are kids, than after they become adults and the police and courts have to do it.

Yep. I can remember being whacked a handful of times. Every time I deserved it, and every time it made a big impression, literally and figuratively.

I can't believe we've gotten to the point where a man can get hauled off to jail for leaving a few red marks on his kid's butt.

Repeated serious abuse is one thing. A whack on the butt every now and then is another.

Exactamundo. Done early it leaves the impression that the threat is real, and hence has to be put into effect very seldom indeed.

My folks whacked my ass when I deserved jot, and I turned out OK.


But I am antisocial...or so Ive been told.

Yep, reading sign was like walking a tightrope. There was always a limit and one just needed to know where that limit was or get their asz busted in our house. I admit that I normally realized where the limit was just after going by it.

Today, you can go to prison FOR spanking your child. I wonder what the study would say about that?

My Dad would certainly be behind bars if he did today what he did to me back then. If he got very angry, he'd grab me by the left wrist and run me around him (sometimes fast enough to get my feet off the ground) and whip my butt and legs with the buckle end of his belt.

As a father, I spanked my daughters when they needed it - but never with an object; bare hand only. Not often and not hard. But they did learn what I considered unacceptable behavior.

My Dad was "the debil," I didn't fook with him.

Seems like libs have a problem with cause and effect.

Kids don't end up bad because they are spanked.

They are spanked because they are bad.

Of course, if they can convince people otherwise, it makes all those arguments about "disenfranchising felons disproportionately affects minorities more" harder to debate.

I don't need to quote a Bible passage to feel that i earned every one of my woopings but one,in my opinion.

With our kids they got a spanking when young but it seemed that all Mom had to do was tell them Wait till your Father gets home.

That worked better that anything i could have done to them.
