    No, nowadays they might enjoy it. Living within a sexually robust and masochistically lascivious society. In this last age sparring the rod or not they probably still be spoiled. Spoiled goods. Rotten to the core.

    The fact that parents won’t beat their children (within appropriate bounds) is exactly what’s wrong the western world.

    That 13 yr old kid deserved worse for why he did.

      @jacquesvol I’m not talking about punching and kicking your kids. There is a LIMIT. But spanking your child for acting up is okay.

      I was the oldest in my family and my parents had no problem slapping me around. 95 perecent of the time it was justified. For the other 5 percent, my dad apologized to me when I was 25.

      Beating and spanking is a huge difference. You could spank your wife and she'll most likely like it 😂 and if you beat your kids then it becomes abuse.

      @That1tallguy but your kids won't really like spanking, nor should you ever spank them in the same way you would your wife. and the only reason kids are spanked and not beaten is because if you went all iron Mike Tyson on them, they would die after like 1 or 2 mistakes

      No shit they won't like it do you think they let getting grounded too? They won't like any type if punishment. Depending on what your into it may not by all that different. Have you never heard daddy punish me some girls are into that kink. I never heard it in person but it's definitly no abnormal. Then there's bdsm were you might use an actual belt or paddle.

      "Went all iron Mike Tyson" 🙄 seriously no one in the right mind would do that. Hit anyone with a bald up fist and that's assault. Not to sound like a dick but statements like yours make me question if your actually a 30 year or just some kid posing as an adult.

      @That1tallguy "statements like yours make me question if your actually a 30 year or just some kid posing as an adult." well ditto, while my original comment was completely serious, my reply to you is half a joke, because you started comparing spanking kids and spanking children as punishment which is beyond ridiculous, so I assumed you were joking. and now failing to see obvious jokes also makes you look pretty stupid, additionally.

      @That1tallguy even if that was true, and its not, Id like to quote the famous politician Adlei Stevenson, after they told thim that every person in their right mind would vote for him - "thats not good enough for me, I need the majority". so yeah, that is completely meaningless. and anybody who has to apply force on a weaker being (whether its a woman or a child) is simply a powerless weak piece of shit, and should have the woman/child taken away from him, after receiving the beating of a lifetime. The only legit scenario where force is a valid way to get a point across is when dealing with primitive hostile equals.

      In circumstances like these, it's necessary. You teach your kid what to do and what not to do. You can teach him that by talking with him about it, but with stuff like smoking or bullying, talking isn't enough. A smack is way more useful than 1000 preaches.
