I would think that only children that are low on the intelligence scale need to be spanked. This is likely due to the fact that the parents are low on the intelligence scale themselves and are inclined to spank as a result.

Spanking also reveals all your trump cards. Once your kid has experienced spanking and realizes its not the worst thing then where do you go? I have never spanked my child and I never will... but they don't know that. And we have built it up to be worse than death! The fear of the unknown is extremely powerful.

Outsmarting your kids is much more rewarding than beating up on them.

It has nothing to do with intelligence. Sometimes, a kid just needs to get his arse whipped.

Doing both is even more fun.

"Hey Jimmy, come see daddy for a hug." Whack's Jimmy upside his head. "haha, outsmarted your little arse"

I'm sure your way is the only way for intelligent people to effectively discipline their kids. Our advanced degrees and honor roll students do tend to argue against your theory, but we all know that analogies are thin proof. We must be the rare exception to the rule.

I also let my kids ride bikes without helmets sometimes, so that tells you the kind of knuckle-dragger you're dealing with.

Translation: I'm scared my kid can kick my arse, so I try to passive-aggressively manipulate him in place of discipline.


You sound like a pussy.
