what the heck is this thread? this is the first time seeing it and I wish I didn't.
So many bad takes in here Different. This issue is literally summed up in the phrase: violence is never the answer.
Different, answer me this, when you grew up and apparently everyone used corporal punishment, weren't there still bratty kids who thought they could do whatever they wanted to and talked back to their parents? you're getting caught up in it now because you're old enough to notice these people whereas before they were your peers and thus less noticeable.
You also say not to rely on the government at all, but chances are you went to a public school, got student aid if you went to college, and are signed up for social security (I found that side tangent laughable lol, attempting to change the topic once you realize that you are in the minority is sad). I also find it funny that you are disagreeing with people who agreed with you that you should take what the government says with a grain of salt. It isn't a crime though for independent findings to coincide with government findings lol. Research is research.
I also thought your statistics were funny. Let's run a little test, shall we? If everyone thought that throwing cats in a blender was a fun and awesome pastime, would it make it ok? Now apply that same logic to this. They're all in the wrong.
When I was younger, all my friends who would receive corporal punishment had it happen all the time for the stupidest of reasons (like forgetting to put a bike in the backyard). It seemed like parents who did it would find any chance they could to do it again. I remember this one friend, his dad would brag about all the horrible punishments he did. As a child, I thought these stories were funny; now that I'm older, I realize just how messed up it was.
Personally, I think proper parenting comes down to instilling proper values in children, and that starts with being a proper rolemodel.
