[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm late to the party, but ... isn't it hard to teach a child not to hit when you're hitting them?

this assumes that the point of the lecture (spanking) is not to hit anyone, ever. while in fact the point is not to hit the parent. [/quote]

The point is to follow the rules and not to hit/spank anyone when not in a position of legitimate authority to do so. A parent, whether the other posters like it or not, IS in a position of legitimate authority over the child, and a parent spanking a child is a valid method of discipline.[/quote]

Not that poster, but according to my understanding of morality, there us NO "legitimate position" that allows it to be acceptable to purposefully hurt someone non-consensually, except in self defense or immediate defense of others.

How is it ever ok to hit other than under those conditions? Don't most of us spend quite some time teaching our kids not to hit/hurt others? Spanking seems hypocritical to me and contrary to the kind of lessons I want my child to learn from me.[/quote]
