Just to make sure I interpretted everything right, I am still allowed to spank my girlfriend right? If spanking a significant other is wrong, I don't wanna be right! Totally just sig'd that!

That is just stupid. If I misbehaved as I child, I got smacked. It wasn't that hard a smack but it was hard enough to stop me doing whatever I did again. Smacking a misbehaving child is not abuse and anyone who doesn't know the difference between smacking and abusing a child shouldn't be having kids anyway. Damn right.

Good on the judge, although I do think this is a private matter And I wasn't spanked as a kid and I turned out pretty good. Just a couple minutes of yelling from my parents was enough to make me learn the error of my ways. Emotional punishment > Physical punishment My mom is an absolute master of Jewish Guilt. Yeah, when I misbehaved I got grounded or lost privileges. But making me feel like absolute shit because of my misdeeds was really damn effective. The worst part of it is that it still works today. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Now you made me think of R-Truth punishing his kids by dressing up in a Confederate uniform and ranting at them.

OK, look, I personally do not believe in spanking, but I was used as a punching bag by my dad, so that explains that.
But there is a HUGE difference between that and a spanking. I may frown on the practice, but it is up to the parent and you should not go to jail for a swat on the bottom. More than that, then we'll talk.

Meh. My father spanked my sister and I along with other normal child punishment techniques and we turned out just fine. It's not like he hit us so hard we were injured. It was a normal spanking, we got yelled at and sent to our room to think about what we did. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with punishing my child yet but I'll deal with it when I get there. If he responds to spanking I'll do that. Take his toys away, I'll do that. Whatever works works. I'll be the judge of that and if anyone has any problem with how I raise my own child, they can piss off.
Then again, maybe I'll just take the advice of everyone across the country that wants to demonize a parent for a simple spanking and not do it. Poor kid's gonna have a mindf***ing of epic proportions coming instead.

This is a sad f***ing world, man...I truly fear for future generations. But as already said, this is one case in our HUGE country. If it was a constitutional ban then I could understand a statement like that, but this is one case. And I'm sure you're not the first person to "fear for future generations", I think the previous generations have said that about all of us ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Honestly looking back I always hated stuff like being grounded or banned from TV and videogames more than spankings.
Of course unlike most parents mine would actually lock up said TV and videogames so I was actually punished.

Of course unlike most parents mine would actually lock up said TV and videogames so I was actually punished. Same here. I have Kenyan parents, so I'm no stranger to getting spanked with long, thin sticks like it's a damn Tom Sawyer movie or something. But I was also sent to my room a lot and grounded, along with being scolded by a loud and scary African man. The latter hurt more because at around 7 I realized a spanking would be over quickly, while having no video games for a week would be long and drawn out. Anyway, I think different methods work for different kids. There's no "cure all" for misbehaving. Just gotta find out what works and (unfortunately to some people) spanking might be a part of that.

But the feeling in your parents voices that they are disappointed/ashamed in you is far more painful then any slap on the back And yeah, it still works to this day for me ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) shows how effective it is

This is so wrong. I actually look back at being spanked with laughter for some strange reason. I remember running away from my mother with her chasing me. I knew why she did it looking back, but I too fear for future generations.

I only got smacked once by my Grandma. I can't remember what for but it sure as hell never happened again so I must have learned my lesson.
Whatever that lesson was.

I was never physically punished as a child.
I was punished with manual labor, push-ups, and psychological tactics.
I would have taken a spanking any ol' day of the week. A spanking takes like 2 mins and you're done.

These groups who will send the police to arrest you and take away your kid for spanking your child are trying to force us to not spank our children. It was the Grandmother who alerted the police, actually. What groups are sending the police to arrest you if you hit your children? Show me the groups then.

Yes, certainly something to weep over. Of course, that will never be the case anyhow. There are too many parents who don't know anything but "smack" when their child is out of line. This is an. isolated. incident. folks -- relax. You can still smack around your kids all you want.
