[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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

Life is as violent as you make it. Mine is not at all violent, and my kids are extremely well behaved, and not violent.

Let's be very clear here - if you hit your children [b]you [/b]are the one bringing the violence into their lives.[/quote]

A properly administered spanking is not violent. A little painful, sure, but not violent. [/quote]

Of course it is violent. Hitting someone with the intention of hurting someone is obviously violent.[/quote]

No, it's not violent. It's controlled, and moderated. [/quote]

Thanks for the definition. This doesn't qualify. It is not brutal, ferocious, savage, cruel, barbaric, etc. [/quote]

It is "intended to hurt, damage."  Violence [i]per se[/i].[/quote]

NP You're just making yourself out to be a tedious pedant. [/quote]
