It wasn't an entirely serious response. Still, what kind of punishment do you advocate?

I never said it was necessary. This thread asked if it was okay or not, and I'm saying it's an acceptable route to take in raising children because the process works alot of the time.

Of course, I used to walk around with a book in my pants and ended up getting twice the spankings I deserved. My dad's even used a belt.

Well I see this way...

kids who are willing to accept punishments - won't care if they get smacked or grounded.

kids who are naturally afraid of their parents - will be good anyways, no need to smack.

So where is the benefits to hitting? If was smacked as a kid it would not have stopped me from doing what I wanted at all.

Children shouldn't be beaten up, however, if the situation calls for it, a slap is not unacceptable.

I think with todays kids. (I am definatly a prime example) They are going in and out of jail as if they were adults. They need to be slapped around. I've seen first hand. WOW. They are goign to put me in jail for 2 months I'll sit here think about how I can do it better. Kids need their little asses beat.

So you did not recieve corporal punishment when you were a kid?

By the way, I think we all need to acknowledge that there's more to good parenting than beating kids. It's not slap or jail. >.<

If parents don't start disciplining their kids Physicaly this is what they will be looking at for their whoel child hood.

Yes guys that is what a YOUTH PRISON looks like in the US.

I'm sorry man, I don't want to even try "debating" with you. You sound like carlos Mencia with his idiot "Beat the spoiled brats!" crap... Intelligent arguements have already been posted numorous times in this thread, you should try reading them. Your entire arguement can be contradicted by typing in "corporal punishment statistics" on google and clicking on a few links.

Tor the sad thing in America is. It's just that slap or jail. There is no off the hook. All of these inner city kids had no punishment by parents so the courts think they should do it. Judges are relentless. And no when I was younger I did not get much punishment. My dad left and it was only me my mom and brother. I realize now that a slap across the face or an ass beating would have done me real good. It has taken multiple lock ups to put my head the right way.

I thought that environment could play a factor or just the conditions under which you grow up besides the method of punishment. Perhaps even genes! Darnit, I now see I was wrong all the time, it's just the slaps that shape us.
