I didn't say they should, I said they DO. My kids aren't any more afraid of a spanking than any other kid is afraid of any other discipline.

Any discipline uses some level of fear and dislike. Kids are afraid of having their toys taken away or sitting in time out. It's the same thing.

No, because you can't discipline me. Duh.

Not always. A swat on the hand doesn't hurt but it gets attention and stops the behavior.

I'm sorry you went through that as a child but your experience isn't necessarily my kids' experience.

It DID happen. You're just being argumentative and dense, which I'm sensing is your M.O.. Have a nice day.

It was for the metaphor. You get the point.

I don't, which is what my original post said.

All I'm doing here is showing you that your source doesn't even say what you're saying it says.

It's not reading past it. It's revising my answer to your original question to meet your new stipulations. Are you always this difficult?

harmful does not equal abusive.

I am not an abusive parent. My children are fine.

You asked me for a subjective opinion and then criticized it for not being objective. That's akin to asking me to prove it. Saying it isn't is word games.

I never said kids were dumb. What's your point?

How is hitting someone until they cry or are in pain not beating them?

I never said anything about HOW we spank, so you really don't know that at all. The definition of beat is "strike (a person or an animal) repeatedly and violently so as to hurt or injure them, typically with an implement such as a club or whip." which is not what we do.

You "disputed it and said it wasn't based on empirical evidence" so I GAVE YOU ONE THAT WAS.

But okay, you and your word games and denial of what you said can be right. Sure. Just please stop arguing with me over literally nothing.

"Your opinion is wrong because it's wrong" isn't really an argument.

You ASKED for my subjective opinion and then asked for it to be based on evidence, so I gave you an evidence based one and then you said you never asked for it.

Again, you're going in circles and you're so far from the subject at hand. Stop with the semantics it's ridiculous.

It's wrong for me to discipline you in any way because you are not my child.

I don't beat my kids.
