kevbone Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 God's honest facts Kev. You have no idea. You are right. I have no idea. Remember I have a child that wakes up every 2-4 hours. I dont get alot of sleep either Quote
akhalteke Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 There is a bit of difference in the work that I do and the work you do kev. I carry a ruck that weighs as much as you do and you wipe todler bottoms. Quote
denalidave Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 It was more Kev's dogmatic approach that no matter what, corporal punishment is wrong...well, that's his view, but its not mine... I never said it was wrong.....just that I would not do it. When you call a spanking a beating you are automatically insinuating it is wrong. Even worse, those that do use spankings in an appropriate manner are insulted by you, in essence, calling us child abusers IYO. Quote

AlpineK Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 First off I'm not a parent (to the best of my knoledge). I used to occasionally get spanked by my dad when I was young. This happened after I had done something that I shouldn't have done. The main point is that this was a rare event, and usually this happened after my parents explained to me what I had done wrong. It was always a last resort kind of thing. On other occasions me doing something bad might lead to the punishment of, "go sit in your room till I tell you to come out," or, "go outside and play right now." The main point is kids need to learn that actions lead to reactions from others. It's a valuable bit of knowledge that you can use when interacting with strangers in the outside world. I'm totally down with the concept of not beating your kid, but spanking is ok occasionally especially when an adult explains what you did wrong and then says, "I'm doing this because you refused to listen to me when I said...." Also in Jr High art class the teacher had a paddle hanging on the wall. He'd tell the class, "get out of line and face the paddle." We all though it was pretty funny, and occasionally he'd use it.

I dont get alot of sleep either Well, doesn't sound like you are really up to the point of having to make the hard decisions yet. New parents are always idealistic like this, and they always grow out of it. Many, in fact most, things you can reason with your child about, and let them figure out for themselves the consequences of mistakes or transgression. You will, or should, carefully pick a few nono's that are strictly conditioned into their behavior, by you. For example, children have a very poor sense of empathy. Sibling rivalry can spring up regardless of your best intentions. The first time you see your 2 year old try to brain your new infant with a Tonka truck, I strongly recommend a firm, decisive approach to conditioning that behavior out of your child. Quote

RuMR Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 when you say "no such thing" to spankings used in an appropriate manner, you are saying they are inappropriate. The definition of "inappropriate" is "wrong". Hence you just said that spankings are inappropriate or wrong. Dumbass... Quote

billcoe Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Its ok. We all know you are a judgemental prick. You may know a lot of things, but you don't know shit about Kevin if thats how you genuinely feel. Kevins a pretty good dude. Not perfect, just a nice person. I've heard that from others who know him too. Quote

Kevins a pretty good dude. Not perfect, just a nice person. I've heard that from others who know him too. Well, nice to whom? Those who agree with him; who share the same ideologies? That doesn't make you a good person anymore than it makes Didier a good father. Quote
akhalteke Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Well, nice to whom? Everyone but you. ...and everyone that you don't agree with... Quote

StevenSeagal Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 This has also been proven to have a strong controlling effect on bad behavior, not only in kids, but also adults. Quote

akhalteke Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I'm nice to minx, and she is a dirty hippy liberal. I am even nice to some of you stoner types. I just don't like YOU! Quote
