    Jesus fucking christ.

    Anyone semi-educated would know that this would just create more criminals. Ones who view corporal punishment as okay in the home, AKA domestic abusers.

    That on top of the fact that it’s just plain wrong and cruel.

      “I got beat and I turned out fine” people when you point out that growing up to be someone that thinks beating children is okay means they did not turn out fine, lol.

        My dad would give me or my siblings a belting when we had misbehaved.

        Not so bad there was a lasting bruise or whatever but I feel like I remember each occasion.

        My parents weren’t really great parents, but I wouldn’t describe them as abusive. They didn’t punish us out of anger. Physical punishments were one of the few tools they had.

        Other’s are welcome to call them abusive but to me it could better be described as ineptitude.

        Now having kids myself there’s just no way I would ever do that. My kids are only 2 so not really old enough to have meaningful conversations but I feel like most of the punishments I received were really due to some kind of misunderstanding - perhaps more accurately me not understanding.
