A swat set me straight faster than any parent-to-child conversation
did. A swat stopped me from doing whatever it was that got me swatted
immediately.

A swat never really hurt, but I cried anyway.
I don't see anything wrong with hitting a child. I'm cautious about
slaps across the face (reserved for the most extreme cases of foul
language in a two year old) but there's nothing wrong with spanking. I
hear a lot of crap about it teaching a child how to be violent, and I
hear more crap about talking to your child is showing them "respect"
and teaching them a better lesson.
Personally, I never paid two shits when an adult attempted to talk to
me about something I did wrong. If I was swinging on a tree and was
being told not to, I wouldn't stop. But once that hand enters the game,
I stop. Ooo, do I ever.
Double personally, I always thought an adult who would try to talk to
me was "weak".
Triple it, I got spanked, but yet I'm not violent. It's the current
phase, parents are being brainwashed by morons like Dr. Phil and home
magazines telling them that it's wrong to hit a child. If you want to
raise a brat, go right ahead. Children can't compromise properly, and
they have relatively short attention spans. They're not going to sit
through a 20 minute lecture about why it's bad to beat up their little
brother. Oh, sure, they'll sit through it literally- you're forcing
them too - but ask them to repeat what you just said a half hour later
and you'll get a bunch of "ums" and "uhs".
arinami...why do i always find myself agreeing with you?..dis gurl is in my head an walking around...but when i was young and did stuff i got warnings, which -->never worked<-- and when i repeated the offense i was beat...by the time i was 7 i knew my parent's words as law! getting hit stayed in my memory and to this day i dont dare talk back to my parents...its like my respect for them is automatic..ingrained in my head...as for promoting violence..maybe thats kinda true, i used to fight alot(only when a girl talked about me behind my back, or if she was startin it wit me!).....but i would never fight some one older than me out of respect... but yeah, the folks i know who werent physically disciplined in some way @ a young age tend to be hella...immature, and i see them treat their parents like crap. but thats just the people i know, which isnt everyone in the world ...duh.
