An often-debated issue: Do you think kids should be spanked to improve discipline? Do you spank your kids?
 
No. It's the equivalent of solving problems with violence. oh wait...it's not even the equivalent...it's exactly that.

Honestly if you're an adult and you can't effectively reason / outwit / motivate / control a kid then you've got problems.
 
See what happens if they don't get spanked ^

Attitudes
 
Yes ....... the current snowflake generation is why no spanking is a problem.

People should be punished if they step out of line - like when they post threads in the Ask MyBroadband section when someone has already posted a thread that day.

Indeed, or post jokes or hoaxes* on the CPF whatsapp groups... permaban incoming immediately if it happens, and no margaret oopsie sent-to-wrong-group moments excuse cared for.

*SA criminals won't put a fcking piece of paper in you hatchbacks rear window wiper and hijack you after you have driven off ans then stopped along road to remove it, they will fcking hijack you right there in the shopping center parking lot in broad daylight.
 
Personally I don't like to be around kids that were never spanked. I find them to be selfish, self-absorbed and ill-behaved. Give me disciplined kids any day of the week. They are able to sit still and have adult conversations. They have come to realise that life is not all about them getting their own way by throwing tantrums.

My wife and I were with a Mom for a day a few weeks ago at a birthday party in a park who was all progressive and "didn't spank their kids", I could detect a hint of snootiness when I told her that I was disciplined as a child and our kids were all disciplined.... when it was time to leave she called the kid over but the kid was playing and didn't come. She had to call the kid like 3 times... eventually she had to go over there and pick the toddler up... who then turned around and scratched the mother in her face. Haha, the look of shock on her face was too glorious to behold. I was busting myself trying to not open my mouth and say "That's why you need to spank your kids", but I think I didn't have to say it... she was obviously thinking it.

Be VERY careful about spanking your kids in public though these days. It is not advisable at all any more.
 
Not till a certain age. At 2 they can't understand why they are being spanked. At 5....in the words of of Bernie mac: throat or gut?
