re: Parents under 35, do you spank your children?

Conservatards are just as bad with redefining words as liberals. Quit being a fricking pussy. If you think hitting toddlers is a good idea, make the argument. The fact that you have to obfuscate what's actually happening demonstrates that you don't believe your position is defensible.

Trying to get 90% of this board to see reason is a lost cause.

They already have their opinions. They are dug in. Only a handful will approach a question with the curiosity of if their position has changed due to a shift in perspective or wisdom, and it's usually the same people.

Threads like these are normally shitshow with a thoughtful comment or two every 1-3 pages.

To answer, I don't have kids. My sister is under 35 and has 3 and I've never seen her spank her kids. They are fine. The boy can be a bit much, but he loves his mom and his family, which is more than a lot of young boys who get spanked can say. Is that because he trusts that his mom isn't going to beat him? Can't say for sure, I bet it isn't totally irrelevant.
