Every child when I was one must have been physically 'abused'. Why, every one of us that I knew had been whipped with a limb from a tree or scrub. Can't you just imagine every parent in going to jail for teaching their child a lesson about why you really shouldn't be doing bad things.
(I'm 79)
It usually only takes once, then you don't ever do any thing naughty again.

Yeah, I know. But you're dealing with kooks.
Watch and find out.

1. Things change
Often for the better. Kids grow up and mature and stop doing naughty things now, too. Only they do it without being beaten bloody with tree branches. It's progress.
See, a kook. Told ya.

2. my grandmother whipped me with whatever she could grab
she never hit bare skin and never above the waist... but I knew what I had done was very wrong or very dangerous. over the seven summers i stayed with her i would imagine i got 10-12 whippin's... the only one i remember i KNOW i earned it...
Sounds like a loving grandmother. Too bad you turned out to be a liberal. At one point sounds like there was some hope for you.
merrily
7. She had no other way of disciplining you?
If so, how sad for both of you.
Questioning his grandmother who was wiser than you will ever be? I think we all know who's the sad one here.

8. none that were effective...
my cousin and i were routinely into stuff. it was summer and we were bored. she would try separating us... sending us to our rooms... scolding... she even denied a meal or two. heck, she put us to work doing stuff we hated... and we just did a piss-poor job of whatever it was or walked off the job.
i only remember those summers with fondness. two mischievous boys running around a farm all summer getting into all sorts of trouble. could have been a book...
merrily
10. How sad for both of you.
Yeah, you already said that, dimwit.
ProdigalJunkMail
68. not sad at all
and for you to assume such says a lot about your worldview. she lived a long life full of love and joy. so, she spanked us a few times that i can barely remember.
and as for your false equivalency remark... i wasn't comparing my treatment to anything. i was responding to a post about another person who was spanked as a child and doesn't seem bitter about it. i will simply say that there is a difference between a spanking and a beating... but people like you probably won't agree.
SLAP!!
Nice job! No reason to take crap from that idiot.

3. One time everyone was a cannibal
Like cannibalism, maybe some customs should just stop.
I'm sure there was a time someone said: "Can you imagine every tribe member being shunned for partaking of human flesh?"
Yeah, that totally makes sense...... to idiots who believe all people at one time were cannibals.

4. I'm 70, and I was never hit or struck in any way by my parents or any other adult.
Call me up and we'll make up for loss time.

6. Luckily, before I had a child, my husband's father and uncle talked about how unfair it was for any adult to hit a child.
And I will add here, especially any adult on whom that child depends for food, shelter and medicine.
We have enough ****ing leverage over our children without getting physical, for pity sake. And, if violence against those whom we've given life is all we've got, then maybe we don't have enough brains to raise kids.
Also, while people talk about the unconditional love of parent for child, my observation is that the love of a young child for a parent is truly unconditional. A child whose step dad was in prison for holding her arm in boiling water, scarring her from wrist to elbow for life, told me how much she missed him.
Unluckily, for the rest of us, you have a child that will no doubt be another leech on society if the level of stupidity you've demonstrated so far is any indication.
I wish she had taken the "maybe we don't have enough brains to raise kids" advice, because she's as dumb and worthless as they come.

9. I principle I agree.
My parents told me they used to have to go and cut their own switch. I usually got it with a ruler, fly swatter, or a belt.
I have no problem paddling a child's behind, but unlike when we were kids, you can't do it in public anymore. And at least people have become more aware you never need to punish a child if you're angry, and that would include of all you ever do is send them to their room with no TV or something. It seems Peterson knew immediately he had whipped the boy too hard and regretted it. I don't think he's a bad parent.
A perfectly reasonable post.
Except in the land of kooks.

13. "Deep cuts" on the legs of a four year old--and for pushing his brother, no less?
Yeah, a prince of a parent. And Rice is a prince of a husband, too.
Give me a break.
This primitive has a major reading comprehension problem. She went from reading "Peterson knew immediately he had whipped the boy too hard" to saying "Deep cuts on the legs of a four year old--Yeah, a prince of a parent." No connection to reality whatsoever.

15. Do you not think he loves his son?
I do.
merrily
18. What that hell does that have to do with the price of tea in china?
Loads of people who love their children are crappy parents, even deadly parents.
Please don't move the goalpost. Not on injuring children. Please.

21. It has everything to do with it.
He whipped him too hard. That doesn't mean he's a bad parent.
merrily
23. Bullshit. As I said, parents who love their kids have killed their kids.
Love does not equal good parent. Neither does hitting a four year old so hard for pushing his brother that he requires medical attention.
Get a grip.
BKH70041
28. If you kill your kid then you don't love them.
I don't care what they might claim.
Ouch! Another SLAP!!
merrily
35. Again, get a grip. You just excused a football player for hitting a four year old harder than he allegedly intended to hit him. When you are out of control, you are out of control. It is not THAT much harder to hit a four year old hard enough to kill him than it is to hit him hard enough to give him deep cuts that require medical attention.
Don't be so fact free.
A documented liar telling someone else to not be so "fact free."
BKH70041
47. No, you're misrepresentating the truth.
I never condoned how hard he hit him and admitted it was too much. I just said it doesn't mean he's a bad parent. If you're going to talk to me, you need to do it based upon my positions and not your suppositions. But you're going to have to demonstrate to me you have the mental capacity to do that, which you haven't even come close to doing, or there's no reason for me to continue.
SLAP!! SLAP!! SLAP!!
And anything the primitive has to say beyond that is moot. She has just been informed she is too stupid to be taken seriously for all eternity, and on the internet for all the world to see, and by someone who's obviously intellectually superior to her in every way (well, as intellectual as you can be as a primitive), and there's nothing she can do about it.
However, no doubt this other primitive now has a target on its back. Telling other primitives how stupid and irrelevant they are will always get you noticed.

29. Whipping your kids genitals too hard doesn't make you a bad parent.
Welp. There it is.

31. Reread what I wrote because your misrepresenting the truth.
I know it's a hobby at this site to twist what people say and then claim they're not, but it's still a hobby of some at this site whether they admit it or not.
Oh Noes!!
You actually pointed out that these fools are so intellectually void they resort to stalking those they disagree with in order to have them banned. You can't do that. Shoving their own hypocrisy in their faces never works since they're not bright enough to see it, much less acknowledge it.
merrily
37. A hobby at this site? Which sites do you usually prefer?
Who said anything about other sites? Further demonstrating her reading comprehension problem.
And she just demonstrated what the other primitive said about twisting their words, which she had already done in earlier posts. This merrily primitive idiot can't do anything right.

30. He's a criminal child abusing piece of shit.
the pictures are appalling. Hitting children for discipline is one of the most ****ed up things I can imagine- and it's ineffective. There are numerous studies that provide evidence of that.
"disciplining" children by hitting them is bad parenting. It teaches a terrible lesson early in life. sick. sick. sick.
BKH70041
42. Then don't do it.
I and millions of others were disciplined by being spanked and are just fine. If someone isn't mature enough to know how to properly discipline their child via paddling, then they certainly shouldn't. I can see where many at this site would not qualify to do so given who they are and what they believe on any number of topics. But to reiterate, he did whip him too hard, no argument there.
SLAP!! This primitive doesn't know when to leave well enough alone. And they just told the primitives they're not mature at all based upon other things they've said on the site. Its openly calling them stupid!!
Kudos whoever you are. And good luck.
cali
45. bullshit. You may be able to speak for yourself. But you have no right to speak for millions of others.
Oh, but you are?
BKH70041
49. You need to put that in your own pocket.
Mirror. Look at it.
And the SLAPS!! just keep coming.
The whole thread is a practice in liberal poor parenting advice and foolish remarks about things the primitives can't even begin to understand. Worth a row over to the island.
