calling out the mental gymnastics of people who hit their kids because they don’t know how to adapt reasoning to simpler minds.

Miss me with that corporal punishment BS.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” - Asimov
In other words if all I do is teach them to fear authority, they haven’t learned to care about their victim, they’ve potentially learned that they should only do awful things IF they are the biggest person in the room.

The difference here is that most of the people in this thread probably love the shit out of their kids, which is exactly what teaches them empathy and compassion for others. But it isn’t the spanking that does that, all it does it create fear. If we ignored our kids, barely loved them, AND spanked them perfectly according to all the situations that seemed to warrant it, they would absolutely become monsters. The spanking isn’t the determining factor, it’s loving them and teaching them how to treat other people.
