LOL @ KnowledgeIsQueen dapping all these child abuse posts.
But seriously, spanking your kids is a very sensitive issue, and I don't look down on anyone who decides to do so or not do so. Personally, I think it's a case-by-case basis, so, yes, if my kid beat up another kid (and it wasn't in self defense/defense of someone else), then they'd get a whoopin for that so they can experience the same pain they caused another kid. But if they were fukking up in school or something, I'd probably pick some other punishment for them.
People like to act like back in the "good ol' days" when parents would beat the shyt out of their kids for looking at them funny, those kids turned out better, but a lot of them are fukked up because of it, and they never really learned anything from all those whoopings.
And when I was a kid, I responded more to being grounded than spanked. A whoopin' lasts, what, 15 minutes tops, and then I can go back to doing whatever I was doing. Being grounded can last months at a time, and you can't do shyt.
Also, slightly off-topic, this new enlarged
smiley is creepy as shyt.
