Quote:Your wife is an adult, who knows the difference from right and wrong.

 

The majority of children dont know, and need some sort of corporal punishment to get the point across. 

 

Time out work for some, spanking work for some, and whipping work for others. 

Simply not true.


The CDC also released a report that shows that teens (you know, the ones that have been spoiled by the lack of "whippings") are less likely to get pregnant, more likely to practice safe sex, less likely to use "illicit substances" and more likely to exercise than previous generations. Now correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, but we're doing something right. The OJJDP also shows that juvenile crime rates are down.


The AAP showed a link between spanking and mental illness.

 

A 2009 study found that HCP (harsh corporal punishment) may have detrimental effects on brain development.

A 2010 study found an increase in child aggression when the child was spanked at least twice in the previous month.


The Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma found that corporal punishment is related to a decrease in cognitive ability.


But hey, you got whipped, so it's a great system, right?
