Corporal Punishment is Lazy Parenting

Spanking, beating, belting, smacking, and any other sort of physical abuse towards kids of any age is lazy parenting. Anyone who does this is a coward and a lazy asshole who isn't fit to be a parent. If you can't find a better way of dealing with a child's actions than beating them then you need to reassess your own character rather than taking it out on another person. I was the whiniest little bitch of a kid up until the age of like 12, was never spanked even once, and am now a perfectly well-functioning, smart, outgoing 17-year-old with no noticeable traces of the kid I used to be. What do you guys think? Do you think Corporal Punishment is okay? If so, why? If not, why not? e: [quote]Beating/spanking both [url=http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/247333.php]can cause mental illness[/url] and [url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1983895,00.html]can create aggressive behavioral issues[/url], or at least make a child more prone to both.[/quote]

    Hey! I was a whiny bitch when I was younger too, now I'm not. I think when we finally realize that our actions have consequence we become better people not for others necessarily, but for ourselves. I was also thrown into a kind of leadership situation which made me realize, perhaps more quickly than others, that the people around us respond to how we act. The impact I had was only recently explained, and I was not as aware of it at the time, but what I learned was that people emulate those they admire and this can go a long way. It is similar to education, I do not believe we ever truly learn something unless we have the desire to learn it, so too we many never truly be good people until we desire goodness in ourselves. Or I'm high. Point being, I do not believe in it and, if I become a parent, I will not use such methods. That said, I'm not going to go out of my way to tell others how to raise their kids.
