[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you use violence on a defenseless child? It is horrible to even think about. I understand that many parents do it because they lack resources and don't know any better, but for an educated parent to do this is pretty inexcusable.[/quote]

[b]Life is violent. Kids are violent.[/b] Some kids don't respond to the modern forms of discipline. Some kids do actually need to be a bit fearful of authority. [/quote]

My life is not violent.  My kids are not violent.  I'm not violent.  We do not condone or practice any kind of violence in our home, including hitting as discipline.

Spanking is illegal in many countries.  Legality doesn't make it right.[/quote]

Sorry, but all of life is violent. Having so much when others have nothing - social violence. The struggle for resources is violent. The quest to succeed is violent. You can pretend not to be caught up in it, but we all are.

Do list all the countries where spanking is prosecuted. [/quote]

Here's another link:

They were all listed and then you (?) moved the goalposts saying that some people in those countries still spank. Lots of people do illegal things. Thus?  [/quote]

yes, I said PROSECUTED. Reading comprehension is key. No goalposts moved, just a failure to actually get them.[/quote]
