What's the relevance?  Does your statement carry more impact with it than without? To me, no, it does not.  That makes it unnecessary.  Would you just as easily type white woman as opposed to blond?

I see where you are going but I honestly don't think that is what H2o meant. I think it was just a descriptive term, I don't think it was intended to carry any insinuation with it.

Isn’t there boatloads of evidence out there that “physically” disciplining children has no beneficial effect whatsoever?

I'm curious as what this evidence consists of.  Did they follow children who were spanked vs. those who weren't to see what kind of adults they grew up to be?

I'll retract because I agree and I'm poor with words...but my guess it that's why the questions arose.

I actually dont have a party.  Thats why I like Trump the repubs dont like him and the dems dont like him and liberals are to stupid to realise that none of the polotitions liking him shows you he is for the people not the government.  If you read all my post you would see that I prefer reinforcement and Im actually educated on the subject.  You suffer from so many cognitive distortions it isnt even funny.  Youre not trying to understand what my view point is or why I may believe what I believe.  Youre to busy trying to argue with a person that is educated on the subject.  You dont care what the truth is you just want to be the one thats right.  Find the truth and then youll be right.

I didnt read anywhere where he said he constantly beats the hell out of his kid.

 

What he did in the past is the past.  Let go Mr. Perfect.

You spell realize like a Canadian.

The general gist of the behavioural research I have seen (which does ask research both the parents and the children) and I have seen one from one of the Scottish Universities (I think it was Strathclyde but I might be wrong) and one from the US - pretty sure that was Michigan - suggests that physically disciplining children can lead to them using aggression and physical responses to difficult situations later in life and found no evidence that suggested it achieved any improved outcomes.

OK, thanks......it just seems very complex to me. In some circumstances I would think that aggression and physical responses may be necessary later in life.

Responses in this thread are pathetic. If somebody wants to physically punish a child and it’s within the law that’s a choice. People that want to start throwing in the “back in my day” “school shootings” “cell phones zombies”. If kids were only beaten more we wouldn’t have these things......

 

Go to a bar and cry to somebody about the glory days. Maybe you can talk about how well adjusted you are based on your mutual beating stories and how they made you the man you are today.

We don’t punish people for not following the evidence du jour. At least, not in America.

It was in reference to the girl in general. The reason any of you are harping on the fact that I said blonde in the original statement instead of just saying woman is beyond anal.

Well appearantly you dont read very well because I said I wonder.  I can actually decipher your political party by your behavior. Its a shame you helped re-elect Cuomo.  You are also an exstremely unbalanced individual because you started getting upset and formulating your response before you finished reading or you would have seen that I didnt say I used a switch on my kids and you wouldnt infere that i concluded they hadnt been beaten.  This thing getting heated is exactly why this content doesnt belong here.

 

I do believe there is such a thing as abuse and I also believe that when possible, reinforcement is a more effective tool.  I heard that somewhere.  Oh wait,  It was when I was taking Psychology in college.  Youre probably picking an argument with someone that you shouldnt on the subject.

Why did you come to the conclusion that WEO voted for Cuomo? And what is the relevancy if he did or did not? WEO has posted on this board for quite a while. I don't know what his political leanings are but if I had a guess it would be as an independent. It seems to me that he is more non-ideological and less rigid in his thinking than many are.

people love to get their piss all hot by what the media quotes someone as saying.

 

 

 

 

i can't trust 90% of what i see and hear with my own eyeballs in work and home and the subway ride between

This may be the first thread that I’ve ever read all of the posts in. It’s been an interesting discussion.

 

On the topic, I agree with Weo’s point. AP has no business in this league. If you are suspended for drugs and you get busted for drugs again, you get suspended a second time (and more severely). Why would he continue hitting his kid with a belt? Regardless of where you stand on discipline we can all agree that it CAN be interpreted as abuse. At the very least AP is a moron and at worst he’s a criminal. He was already punished for child abuse. Clearly, he didn’t learn a lesson if he still believes that a belt is an acceptable form of discipline.  He’s a terrible parent.

Im fine giving benefit of the doubt but maybe a learning experience? The history of our country protecting white women from young black men isn’t particularly good. Throwing in blonde instead of woman creates connotations that a huge number will read whether you meant them or not

Yeah but the connotations of “beat bloody” versus “spanked” are Gucci as long as it promotes cyber lynching.

False dichotomy. Lack of beating is not the same as spoiling. It's possible, and more effective, to discipline a child without hitting them.

 

 

 

I am NOT defending it at all! I’m just saying that depending upon when are where you grew upo, you might have grown up with different models of parenting. My wife and I both experienced “more than words”. Different times.  I just literally tapped one of my boys on the arm once, and that was because he almost caused a car accident. But I STILL remember the shocked look on his face.
