To my knowledge I have never met a non-phlegmatic personailty person who was never spanked and still turned out to be a decent human being.
Because you are a scared little boy ? Or are you a scared little girl ? You say you were spanked and this is the standard by which you claim to be "abused" ? If that is abuse how do you respond to the daily ruthlessness of life in the adult world ? Parents that sit and argue back and forth with their children, taking lip service from their children is whats fucked up in this world today. Its why we need teachers aids in school and the classrooms are still out of control. Its why school kids say fuck you to their teachers and anything else they can spew out their snotty little mouths, because they can and they can get away with it. Not one of my classmates or my generation would have ever considered spewing our mouth because we knew what was comming if we did. Its called respect. Disipline is innate in rearing young, its in every species on the planet. It quick, its harsh and then its over, we move on with life because the lesson was taught... RESPECT.
Fear and deference is only the appearance of respect. Reinforcement is a far more effective teacher than punishment.

If only I knew what you are saying. I hate when people use rare words. Im not bitching really, just alittle.
Either way I would say people go either way, nothing is carved in stone. Which is another good point to the topic which I already brought up. Because a comparitive small handful of parents truely "beat" thier kids for no apparent reason should not have made it a public case that anybody that uses strict dicipline on their child is a child beater. In other word, "beatings" can go either way... LOL They can be to the point of getting a point across one time for that given situation or they can be used on a constant basis for all the wrong reasons.
I have snapped on woman in stores jerking on their childs arm and the brat carries on out of control. I could tell this was a regular routeen and had no effect on the child. I could tell the child got away with murder since the day it opened its mouth. I hear them make threats, "if you dont stop i will take away your toys" I hear them plea bargin... "If you stop I'll buy you icecream later" good grief give me a fucking break. My mother told me "if you dont stop wait till we get home"... HEY... thats all I needed to hear... problem resolved.
My duaghter was one of the best behaved kids in her class, she was raised as I was. I got a handfull of spanking from my father... 3 to be exact and my mother probably 10... Dad took care of the real radical stuff. Like a few choice words I learned in 4th grade and came home and tried out on my mother. "Go to your room and wait till your father gets home... good lord was that a ruff hour, once I got three hard hand smacks to the ass it was over with, except for the week grounding. I never tried that one again... NEVER, even as a pissed off teenager... I KNEW RESPECT and I understood it... I RESPECTED it and I got respect back.
Get over it pussies ! LOL
For one reason or another, he is fiercely skeptical of anything even remotely scientific and these are his default arguments for any data that he doesn't initially understand, contradicts his childhood superstitions, or just isn't personally interested in being challenged on. Clearly, according to him, if he doesn't personally understand how the evidence was obtained or why the evidence is permissable, then it must be the evidence that is suspect, as opposed to his lack of education.
okay obviously you can't hear tone of voice in text
what i meant was that Black Metal White Guy is better than his dad, and that at that at the end of the day, you're parents shouldn't be honored/revered/worshipped etc etc simply because of the fact that they're your parents
when your parents are being/acting stupid, you have to treat them in the same way that you would treat other people that are saying/doing the same stupid things that you're parents are doing
"honor thy father and mother" is an instruction that had to be written down because people that breed are less worthy of being honored than sterile/gay/lesbian people
i can't have respect for someone just simply because they were capable of breeding
