    Of course kids should be spanked. Not beaten, but spanked.

    What do you consider spanked? And how hard? In public? Till what age? I asked this cause i saw a parent spank a 5 year old in public and nobody flinched. This happened in Germany

    My mom used to beat the Hell out of me when I was a kid when I was fukking up. She had a draw full of broken kitchen utensils that got used on me. One time I came home drunk when I was 16(might have been 15) and she hit me with a gallon of milk.

    Kermit, you just described what could potentially be a very traumatizing memory for you. However, I would appreciate it if you could answer the question as well. Thank you.

    Well the beatings that I got when I was younger I deserved. It wasn't like my mom just beat me for no reason. I used to laugh about with my friends(sometimes they were there when it happened).

    I think kids getting beat(or spanked) has a positive result for certain kids. But kids that are fukked in the head to begin with, maybe not so much.

    I agree. I think kids are too spoiled these days. Every kid needs to be spanked to be taugh respect for elders, and that there are consequences when you do something.

    Well one thing is for sure, when I was a kid (Mid 70's through the 80's into early 90's) I had never heard of parents giving kids drugs to calm their kids down because they were crazy. We just called them hyperactive and they eventually grew out of it.

    Of course not, it has been shown to cause long term effects. There are much better methods to teach your children then using violence as a means of punishment.

    I think the beatings that I received made me a better person, but I certainly can't say that it is good for everyone.

    Once heard a person object to spankings. This same person is also pro choice.

    So it's okay to murder a child, just not to spank one.

    F-ing people are so stupid

    I believe kids need discipline and rules. You establish rules and consequences for breaking the rules. Doesn't always need to be physical punishment (spanking) but a system of order is good for kids.


    I think spanking in public is bad parenting. Basically you are trying to humiliate your child.

    It's tough because some adults are abusive or unfit to make decisions when to do it

    However what's scary is if there is no physical punishment then it boils down to the parents trying to persuade their children to act a certain way vs. the mass media and in most cases public school peer pressure

    Would be tough for parents to win that these days

    I vaguely recall a spanking followed by a nursing session on my mothers bosom. My wife eventually put a stop to it.

    If the beatings didn't make you stronger, then you were born to be a bitch.

    Heard a women over the weekend, tell a kid she was going to hit him so hard his daddy was going to feel it.

    Personally I can only remember getting spanked 2 or 3 times... the threat was more than enough for me to stop getting caught when I did stupid shit.

    Stupid parents hit children. Smart parents negotiate and prepare for potential conflicts ahead of time

    Spanking your kids training them to repress their behaviors rather than release them in a healthy productive way through competition

    Took the belt to my 3 boys at the same time for disrespecting their mother. Gave them each 3 whacks. Only had to do it one time.

    They are in their 30's now and are model citizens.

    I was beat with a belt on my bare ass when growing up. Sometimes I had no idea what I did wrong.
