    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    Trolling aside, the genuine comments in this thread are sickening. You've provided no justification why smacking is the best method of punishment, what it actually teaches a child that other means can't do so more gently. I think a lot of people genuinely hate children and like to see them...

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    Plenty of people have raised children without ever laying a hand on them. It's not a naive aspiration at all. I like to leave my young children near open flames. If a child is too small to understand logic and recognise danger, they're small enough to physically move away from danger. You...

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    The core of it, is that there seems to be this idea that we should make our children conform to the norms of society by whatever means necessary. A smack around the head is a pretty brief and accurate primer for life tbh. That's how life is, everyone is going to try to fuck with you, you better...

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    Is smacking a child an indefensible act of abuse against the most vulnerable in society, or does it teach children important lessons about how power structures operate in the adult world? It seems to me that smacking is often applied because it is convenient to the parent. It's simple, quick...

    Sexism against guys...

    The difference between maternity and jury service is that the government doesn't force you to get pregnant. Would you agree that payments like the baby bonus provides incentives for irresponsible behaviour among impressionable bogans? A decision of the magnitude of having a child should be...

    Why are atheists on this website always attacking Christianity?

    Qur'an 4:34 also says you should beat your wife if she refuses to have sex with you. You can force her to consent through violence. What do we call sex without consent again?
