Haven't read the whole thread, but all I have to say, being a teenager myself and seeing kids grow up, they need a ****ing spanking. It's amazing how bratty and bitchy some kids get, I'd like to hit them myself. It's really frustrating seeing a a 7 year old kid throwing a tantrum in the supermarket because they won't get what tthey want. Hit that kid, and teach them a lesson. It's not abuse, it's good parenting.

I have to say that is one thing that pisses me off. I see a kid running around crying throwing a fit because of what ever the reason is and I see the parent trying to reason with a child. Recently I saw a mother walking slowly after he child texting. I wanted to punch her in the head because the kid is doing what it knows best throwing a fit to get what it wants.

My ex girlfriend (as much as I loathe her) was raising her child well from what I saw when dating her. She touched something she was not supposed to touch she was told no. She did it again she was told no. She did it a third time she was told no and smacked on the hand and put in her crib.
It worked pretty well.

I got a couple of spanks when I was a kid, and then I never repeated what I did to earn them.

I got my ass beat a few times and I still did the crap that caused the beating in the first place just to piss them off.

Self defence? Not sure exactly what you mean by that. Self Defence is an act of violence in order to defend yourself against an attacker. You don't hit a child in self-defence. All I'm saying is, yes, there was a time when your parent felt it necessary to spank you in order to show you just how bad a thing you had just done, and to ensure you never, ever did it again. That is what physical discipline is for. There are some things that you don't Get a second chance with, many things that if you do them once and survive, you are very, very lucky. Does the fact that your dad hit you make him a bad person because he hit you once? We're not advocating hitting your children at every opportunity, we're saying it shouldn't be outlawed because some people take it too far.

Personally, i would prefer if someone smacked me if it made it more sure that I would not do it again, rather than to "trust" that I will learn my lesson verbally.

Wow... more people said 'yes.' That's pathetic. Sorry if I sound a bit mean, but it is.

Sounds like someone wasn't beaten enough.

Why is that pathetic? I'm surprised there weren't more "yes" votes. If the poll was still open I'm sure there would be.

I'm actually shocked there are not more yes votes.

I'm shockes people think it isn't okay to use the best and more effective method to discipline kids.

I find it ridiculous when 12 year old kids are disciplined and sent to their rooms with a laptop, Xbox, tv, phone, iPod, it's a ****ing dream world in there.
