[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are way too outraged by what other people do in the privacy of their home. Yet are often not outraged by stuff that really matters outside of the home. [/quote]
Because what happens inside the home can create monsters who do outrageous things outside the home. [/quote]

But there are plenty of other things that create monsters. I don’t spank but I reject this idea that every child that is spanked turns into a monster. The same can be said for people who came out of other not so great situations. It’s not a one size fits all to me. Every kid that gets spanked, sees someone die, gets verbally abused, loses their mom/dad, is exposed to drugs or whatever the case may be does not always turn into some monster. We have got to stop projecting things on people. My own aunt was never spanked and would be considered a failure in ever sense of the word. Stuff happens and life happens. I have friends that spank and I think their kids are fine. I can have my opinion and not make comments insinuating that they are horrible. In my own opinion I feel people that don’t have religion and spirituality are a disgrace but I’m not going to project that their kid is bad or will be horrible. [/quote]

I think it's wrong to spank because it's wrong to hit another person, but ESPECIALLY wrong to hit a child, for any reason. Haven't you ever told your children that they need to take extra care with someone smaller or younger than them? Isn't this a universal parenting dictate? So how on earth do you square that with hitting your kids?

It wouldn't matter to me if every child who was spanked had zero negative repercussions (many do, I am one of them), I'd still be opposed to it because hitting kids is wrong.

It is amazing to me that people who will get high and might about how it's so wrong or upsetting to see kids who are entitled or rude are somehow okay with striking a child. What on earth? Get your priorities in order.[/quote]

I don’t disagree with you. I’m saying that calling people monsters because they are spanked is crazy. I don’t even spank but my friends that do are not monsters. My issue with this topic is that often choose not to spank act like people are Satan. Chill out and just do you. [/quote]

Not PP but I don't think people who spank are monsters. I don't label people in that way. But I do label behavior. Spanking is abuse. That doesn't mean that people who do it are irredeemable people, but it still makes it wrong.

You should not hit people. You should not hit children especially. How can you condone hitting children? Come on.[/quote]

I've always wondered how many violent criminals were abused as children. [/quote]
