The point is –hitting kids is abuse ! And the biggest defenders of child hitting are the fundamentalist religion freaks .But you don’t need to do that . Kids can learn without that .They can be corrected without violence . It only teaches them that violence is an acceptable mode of interaction between people . Rhetorical questions : Do you beat your wife ? Does she beat you ? I’m expecting that you would say “Of course not ! ” But what would be the difference from child hitting ?

Anyway , I like your site and thanks for posting it .

Wrong – a spanking, beating, or whatever you call it is about discipline and punishment. It was nothing to do with being “BIG,” or being in control – that’s the impetus for child abuse (AND ALL PHYSICAL & MENTAL ABUSE). And that, my friend, is the difference. So to clarify: When I say I’ve been beaten or that I’m not above beating my kids… I aam not suggesting that I’m an advocate for child abuse. Oh, and, I am the father of four, and not too old to have children – small or otherwise.

I should clarify — most of the people who end up killing and maiming little kids start out with the idea that a ” spanking ” is okay . then things progress . But the basic reality is that anyone “spanking ” a kid does it cause they are BIG and can get away with it cause the kid is small . I don’t mean small like the troll you reference . It’s all about power .

Hey , attack superstition all you want . Just don’t justify beating on little people .The religionists are all for beating kids , so you & them agree on that . But it is too bad cause I think a lot of the rest of the stuff you write about makes good sense .

Let me guess: You didn’t like me “attacking” religion, did you? I’m only asking because there’s an obvious not-so-thin-line between beating a kid bloody, and a spanking. But I suppose that’s what I get for assuming the sophistication of my readership — trolls included, of course.

The thing that shocked me most about your presentation of this atrocity was you saying that you are not opposed to beating children . And , of course , that you got beat plenty when you were young . it is always those that got raised being beaten that think this crime is okay . like they think it makes them tough men to say beating is okay and they went through it . i ask you to consider throughout history who it is that does the beating ? Usually , the rulers . The slave masters .And , like Reagan said ,it all trickles down . Fortunately , it looks like you are now too old to be a daddy to young children . Bit I also hope that you did not have the chance/occasion to deliver slave master justice to any children .

Turns out “slipping and hitting your head” is pretty easy when you’re getting your ass beat by an adult

This is yet another example of the mentally deranged folks who use the gospel to hide behind like a righteous shield while perpetuating their generations old dysfunctions!
