Many do. Many parents actually bite toddlers when they throw tantrums (I have read numerous police reports about this) because they are children themselves (in attitude, not age) and can’t handle a young kid crying.
All this says is that kids whose parents use spanking are more prone to further forms of physical abuse. Kind of proves my point.
Except my point is that corporal punishment, when intentionally and strategically utilized, is not the same as biting babies or resorting to general violence and abuse. Apples and oranges. I don’t think anyone is contending that flat out beating the shit out of a kid or biting a baby is acceptable, but it’s also not corporal punishment.
Leads to different levels of the exact same outcomes in terms of external behavior (as seen in some of the studies i posted) . So one is less damaging than the other, but still damaging.
A very young child likely can’t tell the difference
But I agree that a light slap if the child is doing something really dangerous can be very effective bc in that case, creating fear around a behaviour is the point.
A toddler doesn’t need to understand why sticking a wire into a socket is a bad idea. They just need to be scared enough not to do it
What I think should never be done is using corporal punishment for social rules or “disrespect for authority” (e.g., talking back to an adult, dressing a certain way)
There’s also the case of corporal punishment for failure to perform (e.g., bad grades) but I don’t think anyone here agrees with that
They have plenty of accountability, just not to you.
They have different priorities than what was planned for their lives.
I think that boomers grew up expecting an old age where they were wise sages and then their creations, like the internet, made them being the repository of information irrelevant. And they don’t like it, so it’s easier to lash down then to adapt.
Fuck this.
Have happy, healthy, educated, ambitious, adventurous, living kids. Give to them. Have your last check bounce when you die. Life is for the living.
In the meantime, don’t be hypocritical. Social security and medicade take up half of the annual budget. Something like 2.7 trillion? The military is a third of that. There’s where the subsidized exestence, and the narcissism that makes people think they have a moral high ground - actually exists.
That didn’t answer the question and it doesn’t address reality.
Zecarlo is typing.
But want others to pay for it. It’s like the woke, like the Squad, complaining about western culture while wanting the benefits of it.
Meanwhile young people use the internet to feed their vanity instead of as a research tool.
People paid into that. It isn’t some handout.
I accept meta data as objective (of all the meta data that I am aware.) How many centuries of meta data did they use for their analysis? How about from the 1950’s?
Ok boomer.
Do you . . . do you actually understand the internet?
Dude, it literally is a handout. “Paying into that” shouldn’t mean you can take out more than you paid, by that logic. My generation has to deal with social security running out (as we’re paying into it), taking care of our parents, and navigating the fun world of 401(k)s.
Are you denying that it is “cause and effect”? Seems clearly “cause and effect” IMO. The cause (reason) is the words spoken, and the effect (violence) is what was resorted to by the person hearing the words. If you are a STEM, why not converse like one? At least qualify your comments.
THis has me thinking
When young kids get spanked for something like talking back to an adult or saying something offensive, do you think it could reinforce “hitting is okay when someone says something bad” on a subconscious level
Definitely.
Thats how a really high number of fights start. “You talking to me?”, “what did you say to me?” Etc.
because not everything needs to be seen in a science and mathematical context.
I’m not denying the cause and effect. I am stating the fact that physical assault outside of defense to immediate bodily harm to one’s self or another is an unacceptable response to the also unacceptable action (to a lesser degree) of calling someone a bitch.
Don’t know.
Does it matter if we know about the brain/body’s response now? The response of the brain/body to the action wouldn’t have been different the 50’s. Human biology does not change that rapidly.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but yeah I would have him arrested.
Pay for what? Healthcare, housing, food?
Many see this something that should be a human right in the 21st century as much as the freedom of speech or freedom of religion.
Not a brain scientist by any means, but logically it tracks.
I’m not.
This is nonsensical. Understand? What does that mean in this context? But this gets to the point; a young person says something meaningless like do you understand the internet as if that makes him the smartest person in the room. Ok, you can access porn, you’re a genius.
Meanwhile 90 year olds are on social media. It must be so hard to understand the internet.
Using literally incorrectly doesn’t make it true.
Lifestyle choices.
Maybe I missed something, what are folks asking for coverage of outside of healthcare, housing, food?
free or significantly reduced cost higher education
I limit my discipline to three general categories, which are flexible to reflect the situation that necessated it.
1.) Lying
2.) Safety Issues
3.) Deliberate disobedience
Not something I am opposed to. Every other “western” nation has this and is kicking the US’ ass in math and science.
I took loans for my education and have no issue paying them back. However, the rising cost of post secondary education is greatly outpacing any wage benefit one may see due to the higher education which will eventually cause many to turn away from it.
