VICanucksfan5551 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Spare the rod. I used to get the wooden spoon and spankings...I turned out alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well jeez, get the word out JR! As easy as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpcurtly Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 If by turning out alright, you mean growing up to be someone who advocates the beating of children, then sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I said right in my post that I wasn't advocating that kind of violence...yup the bus driver should be fired. He could have killed her. All I have been saying(with the use of hyperbole) is, "I believe" there is a serious discipline issue with a lot of kids growing up today...there is an ever expanding number of out-of-control kids these days(look no further than Amanda Todd). But like I have also already said, I don't know the answers, that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpcurtly Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 And that would require better parenting, not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes, I agree....better parenting involves a more disciplined approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpcurtly Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Discipline yes. Physical abuse, no. And even more than discipline would be INVOLVEMENT IMO. Far too many parents expect teachers etc to raise their kids for them and wonder why their kids have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I guess it all comes down to the individuals definition of physical abuse. I certainly don't feel like I was abused because I was spanked as a child...and I always thought twice before doing something "bad." Couldn't agree more with your involvement statement, though. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFBR392 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 that girl is tough as nails! Not only does she get back up, but she goes right after him. You think you'd be a bit wobbly after a shot like that at least. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks, guys, for the video. That is pretty funny, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpcurtly Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I wouldn't consider a spank (being a moderate, open hand "pat" on a cushioned bottom) to be abuse, no. Beyond that, you get in to grey and then ever more black and white territory as to it being or not being abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 So would you say that I was an abused child because I got spanked bare ass with a wooden spoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpcurtly Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yup. If you, as an adult started walking around with a wooden object and hitting people you could be charged with assault and rightly so. Now that doesn't mean you were "severely" abused (that's dependent on a lot of other factors) but you certainly were abused if you were struck with a wooden spoon.

aGENT Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Huh....that's interesting. I do not feel the same way. Looking back it was a pretty effective punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 He didn't really connect all that well. It looked like more of a glancing blow to the side of the head. A proper upper-cut, connecting underneath the chin, would have broken her jaw or knocked her out at least. She's lucky that he had poor aim on that one.
