Nothing wrong with a spanking, unless you ask the pussies raising kids with zero respect these days.

Its abuse rightfully so, but hot dam Germany has some serious problems of its own now. Glass houses and stones.

Spanking defenseless children is abuse. You knucklehead.

Corporal punishment breeds fear, not respect.

What does is loving, present, interested parents, combined with consistent, logical rules, with consistent consequences.

Spanking will work in the short term, at the cost of significant damage to their adult psyche. It’s insidious, hard to fix later. When the foundations of trust are shattered, everything else following is built of a bed of sand.

Arguably, a lot were.

And we haven’t gotten it figured out. Accepting that is the first step towards improvement. We’ve simply turned the best method of improving things on the problem. It turned out that many people were thriving despite the beatings, rather than because of them.

We will still make mistakes, but, if we do it right, they will be lesser. The generations following can learn more, fix more, and build higher again.

Sophistry. Is it your position that no one was ever “ruined” by spanking? Then you’re just in denial of reality. Keep your bullshit to yourself.
