Never. Seems like not-europe is barbaric in this regard.

This is the tragedy of the guys who got spanked: They try to justify it.

Was wasn't spanked with a rod, but with the hand and don't think one can 'deserve' it. I remember it not only as injustice, but also – and that really hurt, dawg – absence of love from my parents.

Same here. My father didn't really show anger when he gave us the belt- and this only made it even more confusing I think. When my schizophrenic mother accused us of whatever crazy ideas she drummed up, when we denied it it made her even more angry that she felt we were lying. When he got home, he calmly lined us up and belted out bare asses without listening to reason. If you guys want to know what effects this has on a kid, I can say for me it caused me to rebel big time. Started hanging out with the "bad crowd" at school, caused a lot of nervous issues and made me violent. Hell, I still bite my fingernails today. And of course, the last time my father went to hit me ended up with me tackling him and punching him in the face- dog turned on the master.

But yeah, that emotion-less violence which people advocate here is the more disturbing kind imo. Sort of like the serial killer that stands stoic and shows no remorse which our perverted justice system is so intrigued with to better understand etc.

Did you take getting your inoculations as an absence of love from your parents? Those can hurt a lot, especially to a child.

Causing minor pain is not always a bad thing.

Having to resort to physical violence to teach someone who is likely at least two decades younger than you something is most definitely a bad thing

I really wonder sometime who the children are here discussing this and who are the grown ups discussing this. It's really the wildest pop psychology epidemic saying the real reason parents spank is they're feeling powerless and forced to resort to physical violence

Interesting how people who got spanked are actually defending that sort of behaviour. Reminds me of the circumsision thread. Nobody wants to grow up to realize that something fucked up happened to them and in many cases they are going to do the same shit to their children to solidify their belief that it is OK behaviour or to take back the power that was taken from them as children. It's the same thing with child abuse and rape. It is cyclical, people who get abused as children are likely to abuse their own children. Very sad.

lol this is such a bullshit post. basically what youre trying to say is everyone on tl that has been spanked is mentally traumatized but they refuse to admit it. get your head out of your ass. most people here who have been spanked has no problems with it because they know that showing discipline isnt the end of the world. its not denial, its the truth.
as stated multiple times already in this thread, i hardly think spanking is the problem for children growing up with problems. it all comes down to whether or not they feel loved by their parents. parents who spank kids are still capable of showing their kids huge amounts of love, at which point the spanking becomes nothing more than a disciplinary act. parents who dont show love to their children, regardless of whether they hit them or not, will end up with kids that are weird because theyll treat others with the same amount of love that they received from their parents.

but i will say one thing. i also feel that the younger generations are extremely spoilt and undisciplined. generations before mine probably thought of my generation the same way, but nowadays with stricter laws on child discipline and such i cant help but feel that the limitations on how a parent is allowed to discipline their child has led to children nowadays feeling like they can do whatever the fk they want and get away with it. i dont believe anyone has the right to tell a parent how to discipline their child, except for the child him/herself. obviously there has to be a line drawn, but nowadays when parents are getting questioned because a teacher found out that their student was given a light spanking last night, i think its pathetic how soft everyone has gotten
