Btw, if children act violently for no apparent reason they might suffer from a psychological disorder and the parents should definitely take the child to a psychologist.
It has been discovered that a large percentage of murderers and physical abusers have some form of autism.
 
It depends for me. I would only really use it as a last resort, and I would never use it on a girl! It's not appropriate for a girl at all, though I can't see many girls' behaviour warranting it anyway. :)

It would depend on how serious the situation was, and I would try everything else first.
 
Bebelina,

And just be angry, beat the sofa, work out, running works fine, take a log and beat the dirt.

Not for me, in an aggressive and angry mode i'm not operating well anymore and become rather clumsy. Would hurt my hand hitting the sofa, i'd get myself under a car while running, i'd break my own arm with a log. Last time i tried to acknowledge aggression, the handle of a teapot ended up in my hand. Best thing for me is just to let it slide while focusing on something completely else. Usually grabbing a book from Terry Pratchet helps in this way. Can't be busy hurting myself, others and/or causing collateral damage if i'm laughing my head off.

Or if you are of the more sophisticated kind, you can sit down and meditate and transform the feeling into creativity and write a book, paint art...build a house, start a movement.

Not really my thing. Meditating and leaving myself alone with my own thoughts, particulary when angry, makes me barking mad.

Back to the topic of spanking children:

Never. Besides, there are much better ways of correcting undesired behaviour. Inducing guilt or shame for a crime done by a child would probably last longer than the shock and short term pain of a parental smack.
 
Obviously many of you did not read my examples showing that alternative to spanking are not full proof and can be totally ineffective when used on the right (demonic) child.

And then he could *yawn* grow up into a *yawn* productive *yawn* adult who lives a *yawn* meaningful and healthy life. I should *yawn* write something in here about not *yawn* living your life as a mindless sheep, but *yawn* everyone has heard it before. Rip the *yawn* system.

I think if I had a child I'd sell him or her off as a Nike slave. But that wouldn't really cover copay on the delivery and prenatal care, so maybe smacking them around with a two by four would be best. Then you could brainwash them so that they'd take care of you when you become a pathetic vegetable in a nursing home.
 
I was thinking a normal adult life for Ryan will involve a chain saw, hockey mask and human brains served by severed head bowls. Basically a real life “Red Dragon” or “Jason” but since we have already seen those in the movies, ya that’s boring. :p

Better yet Xev, why not take a baby or several and lock them in a white room with chain them to a toilet and give them as little human contact as possible then at the right age sell them to highest biding psychologist so they can conduct a “Genie 2” experiment. Come on you can get rich, though the UN will want your head on a platter. :p

We need more imaginitive serial killers, really.

That'd be perfect. Especially if you had a set of identical twins - raise one in a hellhole, raise the other by a loving family.

Can you think of how much money you'd make!
 
Oh by the way Xev I bet you think your funny right, oh ya read kazakhan limk up there!

Mucker brings in an interesting point; punishment methods seems to be gender specific. But is it true that girls and boys are different, and should be punished differently for the same acts? Or is it just that girls and boys act like we expect them to, and we’ve taken a dislike to how we expect boys to behave?

There was another thread which highlighted the US statistics for gun shootings, and I’m thinking that the US might want to consider how it raises its children. Which means that it is the publics interest to know how children are reared. . .?

btw I’m not sure that I agree that WWII is a good example of violence solving problems. I am unsure of what about WWII was violent (as apposed to WWI which I would have thought was more violent at a micro level). To be sure the death squads are an example of violent killing, but I don’t anyone is arguing that these people ‘solved’ a problem. Terrorism might be a suitable example of violence solving problems. A couple of instances spring to mind, such as the Malaysian independence movement. The problem would be that Malaysia was governed by the British, and it was ‘solved’ by terrorist acts. Without a doubt they were an influence in bring independence, but the political movement was equally, if not more so of an influence. I would say that violence is a technique, and the solution is given by the people who use the technique, not the technique its self. I.e. violence has no inherent solving properties.

It seems to me this form of socialising is Mucker's chance to be a little bit wild, the poor little piddle.
 
Wow, hey now guys I’m not going to have a wild orgy under one of my threads, please stick to the issue. And if your post get deleted remember: it was not me!

Fetus, has Ryan been seing a psychologist? If not, he probably should.

Mouse, if reading a book works best for you, then read, it's almost like meditation anyway. :)
