I've been seeing this graphic a lot the past couple of days on Facebook. Time to start unfriending again.


Sick!

1. I thought spanking taught that others don't respect you.

26. Today Rush Limbaugh played a clip by ESPNs

Mike Wilbon claiming America's demise is due to parents not spanking and whipping their children with switches enough.

29. to be expected

2. People clinging to the "good ole' days" meme.

4. these are the people who want to "take their country back"

back to the 1950s

3. I got spanked as a kid. Didn't teach me a thing.

[MohRokTah]

7. Taught me how to be devious.

It taught me how not to get caught.

25. Spanking taught me...

....to lie...really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good. Took me awhile to break out of that mode...as well as lieing to myself.

...my wife, on the other hand...wasn't so lucky. She suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder.

10. it teaches some, if not many, that violence is a way to solve problems

5. ugh

My psrents beat me as a child
and now I suffer from this condition:
PTSD.

[Trillo]

11. Hey undergroundpanther, haven't seen you post in awhile.

I was spanked in elementary level public schools by the principal. One of my adult rules I've followed 99% of the time is over the last 3-4 decades, "Never take a class under any circumstances whatsoever." I simply do not tolerate schools, I even get flashbacks if I have to walk onto a school campus to vote.

37. hi trillo

Im relying on a cheap cellphone for web access
I cant type longer articles. Mostly I post short
Posts now. I had my home sold from under
Me and im seperated from everyone inytt my life that matters my sisters are monsters
ended up in supervised housing with abusive
horrid staff,freind offered a room but it is out inthe
boonies and Im trapped and I am alone broke
And isolated. I
onder why everything has to be one miserable situation after another.this phone sucks,the
keyboard misspells everything and it hardly ever picks up a signal. So calling people
is impossible
And I miss a lot of calls. My life sucks

[MohRokTah]

6. Obfuscatory justification for continuing a cycle of violence and abuse. eom

[BlueJazz]

8. Oh..I get it. So...if someone REALLY spanks the hell out of their child, the child...

....has even MORE respect for others.

mmmm...carrying this further...If a parent gets a 2x4 wooden plank and smashes....

I don't "Get" some people.

[napkinz]

12. I wonder how many of those who abuse their spouses were abused as children

So I think we know what spanking, hitting, or beating a child teaches the child.

I'm sure there are studies on this.

[Tikki]

9. I never got spanked (hit) as a child, it taught me to never accept or expect to be hit....

and never to hit and the people who have never known the feeling should try it, bet
they will like it better than they can ever imagine.

I don't respect hypocrites...maybe that is what it's all about.

16. ...

Why not model for a child how to behave and act from the moment they are born? Why would you hit a child, then turn around and say that it is inappropriate to hit others (both children, when they are children, and adults, when they are grown)? It works for our family to be models of respect and trust, and to treat our children in the way that we want to be treated.

13. really, if spanking taught respect, wouldn't things like racism/homophobia

be cured by the generations who got spanked the most??

[Orsino]

14. And that's where emperors derive their war powers, Charlie Brown.

Primates use violence to enforce social norms, and we appear not to have evolved out of the habit.

I wonder whether spanking ever taught anyone to respect LGBTQ people, or atheists?

[Trillo]

15. My dad spanked me a few times.

One time, I was maybe 15 years old, not sure exactly, but I was packing my things to leave home. Dad came upstairs to get me, and grabbed me by the belt to forcibly take me to his spanking area. I decided I'd had enough spanking. At the top of the stairs I used a karate movement, worked his grip loose, grabbed him, and pushed him down the stairs. He tumbled the whole way. I guess I'm lucky he didn't break his neck, but let me tell you this, HE RESPECTED ME after that. He never tried to spank me ever again.

Remember this story when you decide to spank your boy. One day your boy will have had enough, and you'll be an old man by then.

[pipi_k]

36. And this is exactly

why I have a problem with people who spank/hit their kids.

They only do it until the kid gets big enough to hit back.

then it's a whole different story.

19. some of the responses ...

Michael Yan Montemayor: That's so true , today's generation idiot were not spanked therefore they don't have respect for others and are allowed to talk to their parents like they're their friends and girls are allowed to wear booty shorts at 9. Feel sorry for the next 50 years

Yvonne Edmunds: In the 60's and 70's we got our ASSES BEAT, Not SPANKED and we came out fine. We learned to RESPECT our ELDERS, Never called our PARENTS or any other ADULT by their FIRST NAME, we said YES MAM/NO MAM, we didn't SWEAR or TALK BACK, LISTENED and DID WHAT WE WERE TOLD, etc. If NOT we SUFFERED the CONSEQUENCES and ACCEPTED our PUNISHMENT!

Gail Morgan: Yep that's why kids get in so much trouble now. That's the permissive raising we have now. Some people ground kids. When I was a kid we had the fear of mom and dad if we did something wrong.

Johnnie Gray: My parents spanked me and my siblings when we did something that was wrong and we did learn from it. As a result, there are 8 of us and none of us have ever been locked up, none of us are on drugs, we all work and take care of our selves and our families. We respect others and honor our parents. No parent should ever beat a child, but a good old fashion spanking works. Much love to my family and friends.

18. Had to drop FB

I just couldn't deal with it any longer:

Researchers say physical punishment actually alters the brain -- not only in an "I'm traumatized" kind of way but also in an "I literally have less gray matter in my brain" kind of way.

"Exposing children to HCP (harsh corporal punishment) may have detrimental effects on trajectories of brain development," one 2009 study concluded.

Harsh corporal punishment in the study was defined as at least one spanking a month for more than three years, frequently done with objects such as a belt or paddle. Researchers found children who were regularly spanked had less gray matter in certain areas of the prefrontal cortex that have been linked to depression, addiction and other mental health disorders, the study authors say."

20. I'm waiting for DOCTOR Ben Carson to chime in with his "medical" opinion

Want to guess what the good doctor -- who thinks evolution is a myth -- will say?

[napkinz]

21. ...

[LiberalAndProud]

22. Like.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

23. This appeals to the"My childhood was a better time" mindset

We got spanked, lived in houses with lead based paint, rode bikes with no helmets, prayed in school -- and it was a magical time with no crime and we all respected one another....


It's like "Main Street USA" in Disney World/Land -- there's an element of truth, but it largely evokes a halcyon era that never really existed. Poverty, crime, and abuse all existed then, as well.

[Bettie]

24. I was spanked as a child

It taught me that you can never trust anyone, because even those who are supposed to love and protect you will use violence against you.

I am, however, very good at sensing when people are about to get violent.

My kids do not get punished physically and they aren't afraid of me. When they have done something wrong, they own up to it, because they know that the penalty for lying is much harsher than if they admit what they've done in the first place.

They will admit to what they've done because they know there won't be physical harm done to them in any case.

That tells me I'm doing it right, at least for my family.

[WinkyDink]

27. I was spanked. I struggle to respect authority. I often fail.

[JoePhilly]

28. Spanking is lazy parenting.

[napkinz]

30. yep

[Tikki]

31. Hitting (spanking, same thing) beats them down and forces many to respect people they...

otherwise would never respect.

Tikki

[napkinz]

32. less respect and more suspect

as in distrust and mistrust

[jwirr]

33. Yeah apparently spanking is popular. Mark Dayton is getting a lot of flack on his web-site for

saying that Adrian Peterson should be suspended for a year.

[napkinz]

34. the FOX viewers and Limbaugh listeners are weighing in

nt

[jwirr]

35. And the fans who spank their own kids and think nothing of it.

[napkinz]

38. fans ... many of whom are religious FANATICS

and their "good book" tells them to beat their kids, subjugate women, hate gays and lesbians, enslave others, and on and on
