Jesus fucking christ.

Anyone semi-educated would know that this would just create more criminals. Ones who view corporal punishment as okay in the home, AKA domestic abusers.

That on top of the fact that it's just plain wrong and cruel.

    "I got beat and I turned out fine" people when you point out that growing up to be someone that thinks beating children is okay means they did not turn out fine, lol.

    My dad would give me or my siblings a belting when we had misbehaved.

    Not so bad there was a lasting bruise or whatever but I feel like I remember each occasion.

    My parents weren't really great parents, but I wouldn't describe them as abusive. They didn't punish us out of anger. Physical punishments were one of the few tools they had.

    Other's are welcome to call them abusive but to me it could better be described as ineptitude.

    Now having kids myself there's just no way I would ever do that. My kids are only 2 so not really old enough to have meaningful conversations but I feel like most of the punishments I received were really due to some kind of misunderstanding - perhaps more accurately me not understanding.

    The freaks and weirdos are always up to the crazy ideas.

    Just WHY was it that Walz was reeled in on pointing this kind of thing out? The entire conservative movement and the Republican Party is just chock full of weird people.

    imo, 'weird' wasn't the correct word, nor was it strong enough. not sure there is even one single word, 'evil' is closer but still doesn't quite get all the way there.

    That's the thing, though: against regular people, it's the mildest of insults if it's even an insult at all.

    Against fascists, thought, it's DEVASTATINGLY effective and here's why:

    Fascist movements depend on being absolutely convinced that they're the only sane and normal ones in a world gone mad because everyone else is an immoral weirdo. That's how they justify all of their atrocities, and it's what their entire shared identity is about.

    When you point out what weirdos their leaders are, that makes them doubt EVERYTHING about them. After all, in their world view, all weirdos are insane and immoral and all righteous people are normal.

    Came here to say this. Having Walz starting to point out just how utterly weird a lot of conservatives and Republicans really are was resonating. Sure, they are also evil, mentally ill, etc., but all that can be gotten to and explained later.

    Someone with a large platform, pointing at these people and stating the obvious - that they are just so very weird - works to sway people that might otherwise not be paying much attention, or are only hearing stuff from Bullshit Mountain about how "liberals can't define what a woman is" and other such soundbites...

    You're all missing the mark. These people are mentally ill — mainly narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism — to the detriment of all of society.

    All of their actions and beliefs are symptoms of their extreme mental illness.

    So they want to legalize child abuse… that’s the goal here folks, let’s not pretend it’s not what they want.

    Poor kids are gonna either end up with so many mental scars and have to just live with it since our society is so fucked up that they will probably try to outlaw therapy.

    Well I demand physical punishment for Trump appointees. Let's start with belts and go from there until they learn to behave.

    Nah, belts are not enough for these people, one should overpower them just as much as adults do children. Let them feel the powerlessness of abused children.

    Fuck these fascists. Anyone vile enough to use their position of authority to enact violence against children should be thrown into a cold cell. Fuck anyone enabling this.

    Violence begets violence. Getting beat as a child didn't make me peaceful in any way. Just what you would expect from some useless sports dipshit.

    I mean the Republican party is already onboard with child labor and raping children. Should we be surprised that they also want to beat them?

    How about we punish real criminals first? I dunno, maybe frauds, felons, and rapists would be a good start.

    Parents get mad at teachers for asking students not to use their phones in class. You hit their kid and you're going to get shot.

    I would have hit a teacher back but x10 because I was a kid and kids are sociopaths. I remembered fistfighting my stepdad in the front yard in middle school. I did not win.

  • I used to teach K-8 PE. I remember one day a student in 2nd grade told me how proud of himself he was because he got into a fist fight with his dad in the street and he didn't cry.

    Either that Dad is a pussy, or that kid is tough as nails.

    I was threatened with this once. Told the principal that it would take more than him to do it. And I meant that. He called my dad. Told him I threatened him. Dad laughed in his face and told him to try me on, then he hung up.

    Just waiting for them to push this for public schools only. After all, only "the poors" would send their kids to public schools.

    Where I went to middle school/high school my parents had to sign something that opted OUT of getting a paddle used on us for punishment, either on the hands or butt. One of the gym teachers constantly brought it up and would volunteer to spank kids this way.

    There's virtual reality now. If you realy need to beat children, do it there.

    The troubled teen school I was sent to in the mid naughts had and has parents sign a form which releases them from liability if a kid gets injured. They’ve beaten the shit out of kids for things like asking to go to the bathroom, or having religious amulets.
