re: Do you consider using an extension cord to whip a kid Child Abuse?

there is a better way to discipline a child than causing bruises

Absolutely there is. There's a place for spanking, but it should be a last resort. And leaving bruises is going overboard. The sound of a spanking is enough for a little kid to get the point.

It always seemed to me good trolling is convincing people you're serious when you're saying something so ridiculous that everyone should know you're full of shite.

Considering there are plenty of people who actually believe that any spanking at all is child abuse, what's so ridiculous about you claiming to believe it? What did you say that was so crazy no one should have believed you but did anyway? What you did wasn't trolling, it was just lying.

is it still plugged in at the time?

It doesn't truly hurt them but it scares them a little and gets their attention. Now spanking to truly hurt, or doing it to older children is pretty dumb with what we know now

I totally agree with the first parts of this. It's the what we know part that I have a hard time believing. Spankings have been around since the beginning of time. Not spanking has been around say 20 years. Without even comparing the change in our youths how does one come to the conclusion that we know something with such little time to compare the two? I'm not advocating beating children or whipping them with things other than your hand or belt, let me say that. But for someone to tell me that it's shown to be not affective after a half of a generation, who keep in mind is arguably the most in titled lazy undisciplined group of youth in our history. That just puzzles.me greatly and makes.me wonder what else they could be selling you?.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. That's why I mentioned the trophy society earlier. It really does go hand-in-hand. Now, beating the shite out of someone, whether they are young or older is one thing, but spanking in a disciplinarian way is another altogether. This touchy-feely, political correct, can't hurt anyone's feelings BS attitude that is out there now is ridiculous.

And yes I know I've stirred some shite on here, but I can take the backlash.

When we were kids we all wanted Hot Wheels and the track.

Then our Mommas figured out what else it was good for.

Talk about light up your happy arse.

Did anyone post the law yet?

In LA I think it's child abuse when you use any sort of object to hit a kid, and also above the waiSt with a hand.

Please stop, you are an idiot.

Anytime my child steps out of line, we take him in to get a vaccination.

Of course we are. I was having a little fun with everyone, and laughing at the venom they were spitting. No hard feelings, hopefully.

I agree with your trophy thing also whole heartedly and I've seen it first hand in youth sports because I coach......No i don't beat them lol

I coach 3-4 year old soccer right now. Although it can get frustrating, it's a blast.
