ut i have seen it countless times,
someone's little darling ignoring their mothers warnings and attempts to discipline, 'ill
smack you, if you do that again, '', 'i will , ill smack you if you dont stop', 'this is
your last warning, ill smack you, i will', meanwhile the kid is oblivious and carries on
The problem is that frankly, they ar ...[text shortened]... hat and keep pushing the limits. They have to at least believe you'll do what you say.
Originally posted by PsychoPawnYes. I knew where the lines were drawn and knew what would happen if I crossed them. In addition, I was told why I was being spanked and was never hit out of frustration and it was only done where I was well padded. This is the proper form of spanking. Random violence with no association other than fear of the individual is destructive and is abuse.
Yeah, and your incredible discipline shows that you were beaten to a pulp by your parents?
Again ... how is that relevant?
Were you spanked as a kid?

Spanking can in some ways be somewhat effective but there are more caveats to that then there are with other forms I think and more risks.

How is it relevant to this discussion?

But we are taught by statists to always revert to the authority and hope of the President. Our very existence and happiness depend on him.
A little bit of therapy can go a long way.
