Quote:I literally freaking said nothing that contradicts those links. You'd have to be stupid to think that being abused is an absolute guarantee for criminal behavior and drug abuse. The point is that there is a societal trend away from such behavior that correlates with parenting that doesn't include corporal punishment. There is not a societal trend away from such behavior with parenting that does include corporal punishment.


You being disciplined that way and turning out "fine" is just as insignificant as me not being disciplined that way and turning out fine. Anecdotes do not matter.

 

Oh dear, this is your quote from earlier.......

 

"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"

 

The point is, last time I checked, it wasnt illegal to give my child a spanking.
