    Discipline for sure. Sometimes it's needed. I've seen a lot of spoiled little kids who their parents didn't know how to raise them. A good old spanking would definitely do the trick

    Gotta love biased G@G polls that endorse child abuse!

    If you have to resort to violence when disciplining a child then you're a stupid person.

      but if someone who was spanked said 'i've been abused' it doesn't really count because there are people out there who have the shht pretty much beaten out of them daily. THAT'S abuse.

      @unbrandedsouls Any sort of violence is abuse. If some guy forcibly bent you over in public and spanked you, his ass would be in jail.

    Discipline - those are memories and a reminder of what can be done when they get older

    cause if the parents will not do it

    the world will do it and the world is not very nice

    I find that it greatly depends on the character of the child. Some children can leave deeply affected and some other children won't be that ashamed

      I have never seen a kid that was spanked properly with an attitude or acting up. What I have seen is a bunch of brats who get away with what ever they want because the last generation of parents were told that

      "You should be your child's equal and be their best friend forever"

      Part of the reason why the majority of my generation is so fucked up and disrespectful because they never were disciplined

    It depends on the child and how it is done, and it's no one business but the parents.

      And fully grown men. That's known as consensual spanking which is perfectly fine as both the partners agree that it's best for their relationship.

      Oh sure you're totally right. Everyone knows about consent. Even rapists right? Grow up. Hardly anyone knows what consent means anymore at all. Just cause you know it doesn't mean that others necessarily know it as well. I treated it with a more general world view than the minority worldview in this case.

      @Stellastarling Rapists do know about consent, genius. They simply choose to ignore it. Just like murderers ignore the fact that murder isn't legal. Are you really that dense? It doesn't matter how many times you write, "Killing is wrong" on knives, people are still going to stab other people to death with them. Treating people like children doesn't make them better. They know rape is wrong. They know murder is wrong.

      @Stellastarling I'd wager most, if not all of those people are lying to try to avoid jail time. Consent is not some top secret concept. People play dumb to avoid being convicted.

      @Kiran04 Consent is not something that can be made so lightly of. Not everyone knows exactly what consent is. They just assume. Consent is a lot of things. Consent is when someone agrees, gives permission, or says "yes" to sexual activity with other people. Consent is always freely given and all people in a sexual situation must feel that they are able to say "yes" or "no" or stop the sexual activity at any point. There are a lot of clauses for what is and isn't consent. It isn't as easy as you make it out to be. It's not just yes or no. It's a lot of other things as well.

      Such as body language, appearance and non-verbal communication. A lot of people actually thought that people wanted sex just cause they were dressed a particular way. that is not consent. Even if you've been dating in the past or had sexual intercourse before it does not mean that you can do it again without getting consent again. That is not consent. Even if you are married you cannot just assume that they want to have sex. Silence, lack or resistivity. Especially this. It cannot be considered consent at all, However a lot of people do. There has to be a positive yes. Also alcohol. There is no way that someone should do that. A lot of people are taken advantage of during this time. When they are under the influence. In no way can this is assumed consent even if they say yes, because they are under the influence and ought not to be taken advantage of. Basically you need to be verbal, sober, oral and enthusiastic. Otherwise it can't work. That's consent.

      @Stellastarling Again, treating people like children does not make them better. You either expect adults to act like adults or you don't get any adults.
