re: Do You Agree Corporal Punishment (Spanking) Is Barbaric When You Think About It?

Solid troll

Its not about hitting a kid because "they didn't respond how the parent expected". It's about correcting a behavioral issue. Instilling in them that there are consequences for doing wrong. Getting spanked is a lot nicer than the way nature teaches most species about consequences. And a lot better than the way the world will teach them as adults.

Not every punishment situation calls for spankings, but not every one can be handled with timeouts either. I got both as a kid. Spankings were much rarer than timeouts because I had to really act out and do something wrong to get a spanking and when I did get one I learned my lesson and watched my arse more than before.
