"Appropriate" spanking?

 timetowaste85 wrote:

Yup. You play baseball and break a neighbor's window by being careless? Grounded for a week. Do it again, having not learned a lesson? Mild spanking. I'm not advocating BEATING a child. There is a huge difference between a spanking and a beating. So, yes. Appropriate spanking. But thanks for proving my point about how different things are these days. I rest my case.

Have you ever considered that there might be a correlation between corporeal punishment for kids and the above-average level (for Western world countries) of violence in your society?

Regardless, the kid really isn't learning WHY it's wrong to break someone's window, it's just learning not to get caught doing it. You need understanding to truly teach a lesson, and how are you going to beat understanding into someone?

Besides a 6-pack not being the only indication of tone, I think you must be blind, or at the very least have an internet skewed perspective on what is normal and what is fit. Like the people on 4chan saying Scarlet Johanssen is obese.
.

But Morons on E! And TmZ said the same thing about Kate Upton. Neither she or Scarlett are obese, and it's funny to even think they are. Maria Kang is in good shape. Absolutely. But like I said. She isn't overly toned or bulky. She doesn't look like a sprinter or a pole vaulter or a crossfit champ. She looks fit.

I think were actually to a great point in the US right now where people like Kate Moss and the runway models of the early 2000s are no longer our paragon image of beautiful, and that we have women like Kate upton, who is still fit but has curves, as some of the beauty ideals in Hollywood. The "beautiful waif" is no longer the beauty standard and I think that's a good thing. I don't, however, accept the whole Lena Dunham/Rebel Wilson mentality that being obese (obviously more with Wilson than Dunham, but I dislike Dunham for plenty of other reasons) is perfectly okay. It isn't. It's unhealthy. I think young women being happy with their healthy bodies is a good thing, but I don't think being overweight should be encouraged.

And, despite my weight loss, I'm hardly a paragon of health. I still want to lose around 50 more pounds because being healthy makes you feel better. Both physically and emotionally.

I live on canned tuna, whole wheat bread, apples, carrots, and tons of other vegetables that I just pull out of my fridge and feast on. No cooking necessary for any of my eating.

edit - Also protein shakes.

I'd vary that meat intake, really. Mercury stories won't stop me eating delicious tuna (I have to bring some home for Lady Deadmouse anyway), but I eat a can every 2 weeks, perhaps even every months. Eating it daily could lead to very serious cancers and degenerative brain diseases. And it's not something that's hinted at by a few fringe researchs, there's over a thousand five hundred study of those effects. You'll grow yeast inside you until that very yeast start to release organic mercury on it's own. You're like, growing a plant inside you that will end up pissing toxic metals all over your insides.

Also, because I have lived with someone on a similar diet - I hope you either do not have a roommate, or that your accomodations have very good air flow.

Also why identify her as "hot"? That's probably going to just further inflame tensions.

Meh, she isnt a looker. She is ok.

She is pretty hot.

Why would that inflame tensions?

The crime rate of the nordic countries crime rate by native nordic people is very low.

They're obviously doing something right. Which is why I'm raising my kids on Scandinavian guidelines.

The harshness expected from my Russian ancestry is not something I believe to be effective.

To thread jump a bit... Spanking children is a True American Value, and one those dirty, pinko commie liberals are trying to take from us

It's cause it's to damn cold to commit crime.

Sides, its just the person opinion on her looks. I hate Bob Seger, and being from Michigan should cause outbursts of rage and stoning to death from my fellow Michiganders, But usually people here just say "Eh....youre an idiot" and we all have a laugh.


So yea, her body obviously looks nice, she looks ok, I wouldnt say no to her if she followed me into a bathroom stall thats for sure.....................then again I wouldnt turn that down in most cases anyways

People see "Hot mom" and "fat people" and you already have people siding into "us vs them", by identifying her as hot, you'll already have your standard bevy of white knights dashing to rescue internet maidens and then you'll have white knights for the other side championing the cause of the overweight, then come in black knights who aren't really for their side, just against the other side. And then you get a rapidly building snowball of stupid.

I'll petition Snyder for your public stoning. You're worse then a commie.

I like that we agree the overweight white knights aren't dashing anywhere.

According to my wife's child psychologist colleague whom we just texted, there I no proof either way regarding spanking and violet behavior.

Hes a Hippy. Theres no arguing with Hippies Cincy.......they repurpose their own pooh to grow tomatoes

I certainly don't recall any children who were spanked or not turning a light shade of purple many can't tell from pink.

Were I a hippie I'd point out that you're likely using manure as fertiliser anyway, but since I'm not I won't.

Good thing you didnt there, eh Walrus?

It took almost no effort at all on my part to find this, this and this. Just sayin'.

I saw those after I asked her Walrus. There are just as many studies that say the opposite. Much like anything.

meh, people overreact to everything, honestly, WHO CARES what some bimbo posted on facebook. reading through some of the comments (on facebook), it's like people took it personal.

So glad to have your insight add to the conversation. Your contributions to dakka in the future are sure to be deep and long lasting.

@Walrus - comically, I found this article linked to one of the child spanking articles (which has nothing to do with this thread by the way):

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/09/19/sweden-allows-public-masturbation/

So apparently Sweden is a much more enlightened place than the US.
