Only jews deserve to be burned. Even if it is with a cig.
It shouldn't because in common vocabulary, hitting a child means a slap in the face on or the bum whereas hitting a girlfriend means full-on punches.Itooh wrote:That's a really good point!anaphasiia wrote:Reiteration: why is it okay for a parent to hit their child for stealing the cookie jar, but it's bad for a boyfriend to hit his girlfriend for cheating on him?
I admit I mostly disagree with you, but your thoughts are still interesting and relevant. And this question in particular make me doubt my certitudes.

I'm irrationalizing both hitting children and assault to say they are not intrinsically different, that parents are so accustomed to the method they delude themselves slightly. There was exactly one post in this conversation that wasn't for some reason angry and didn't misinterpret my posts, and had substance (evidence/dissection to validate their positions) which was Itooh's.Acarr wrote:*long sigh* Stop rationalising assault.

I have to give evidence for my position, you do too. None of you do that (at best, the evidence is "it makes them behave" and "it's different from assault because I say it is" (because the child views you as superior, yes, they submit)), you all just get angry, misread my posts and call me insane for me wanting to justify not hitting or smacking a child, severity aside. In your words: "What the fuck?"
If someone says an argument without providing evidence, that implies the statement is supposed to be the evidence, otherwise it's an unfinished argument.Acarr wrote:I like how you keep saying evidence even though nobody has referenced anything.
That's not true! Itooh made an argument that made me consider things I didn't before, which is briefly lowering the child's self esteem to make them achieve perspective/realization. I still don't agree with it much, but has made me think.Acarr wrote:Though I'm never going to change your mind if you feel that physical punishment is not the right way to raise a child.
A statement isn't evidence, that's just not how things work.anaphasiia wrote:If someone says an argument without providing evidence, that implies the statement is supposed to be the evidence, otherwise it's an unfinished argument.Acarr wrote:I like how you keep saying evidence even though nobody has referenced anything.

What ?Bradandez wrote:Speaking from personal experience, there were way more worse punishments that me and my siblings were faced with. Either having our asses smacked with the dreaded chañcla (the sandal) or put hot sauce on your tongues for example. Out Hispanic elders were ones not to be messed with. Looking back at those punishments, I can easily laugh at how silly they were.
