LOL… only in your imagination. I guess atheists do it just because you want to?

Oklahoma Republican Doesn't Like That You Can't Hit Kids ...Even Those with Impairments

Not beating family members is indeed a personal choice I make.
But your own scripture prescribes it.
Do you spare or wield the "rod" towards your own?
No, I don’t. I have many friends that are democrats. It is all in the context of how people are viewing the OP
Yet you posted what you did.
Are you walking it back now?
I can only take your word for hit. My scriptures, interpreted correctly, don’t not subscribe to beatings.
Not at al. You apparently didn’t comprehend what I said. We are back to two people looking at the same evidence and coming to two different conclusions.
It is becoming a habit of yours, I think. Next you will be subscribing to Palestinians having the right to murder and rape. OH, wait, you DO believe in beating children and adults.

A biased, faith based website? Even so, rigorous peer review amd metastudies do not support spanking and show it's more likely to set a child up for detrimental outcomes (like learning to not get caught instead of instilling a sense of right and wrong).
Common, decent and good sense also tells us it's wrong to hit a child. We can't hit an adult but people want to defend hitting a child? No, such violence has no proper place with rearing a child.
I've also noticed that many bungholes are like the wanker in the video who are so eager amd willing to hit a child, amd so limited in their thinking and taking in information, that the erroneously claim doing away with spanking is making it so parents amd schools can't discipline their kids.
I wonder when the faithful arrive at the Pearly Gates,
which faction will gain admittance, & which will escalate
down to the Lake of Fire.....the beaters or the rod sparers?
Only then will they know who "correctly" interpreted the Bible.
(IMO)
It would appear that neither of us comprehended it.
With that double negative, your answer isn't clear.
Some use it to intensify the negative.
Others use it to cancel each other out.
So again.....do you wield or spare the rod?
I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma and went to a school where paddling kids was like some kind of weird perverted religious sacrament. When I had kids of my own I sent them to a school that didn't use physical violence as a means of discipline. Both my kids grew up to be well adjusted and productive individuals.

As I mentioned previously, pull that stunt in the UK in public, and you'd get "corrected."
Apparently you didn’t read the PDF
Odd it is that so many believe a teacher should
be able to beat a student. But the parent of
that student can't beat the teacher.
It should be an eye for an eye....or butt for a butt.
Probably one of the many reasons you have so many problems in the UK - mirroring the problems we have here
This sounds like a claim that beating children
isn't yielding the results you want.

The problems in countries where physical abuse of children is illegal have nothing to do with that. Get back to me when the US is a bastion of morally upright citizens, a beacon to the world.

I find that hard to believe {sarcasm}.

Why would I waste my time with obvious filth and garbage that tries justify beating a child? Especially when I know that spanking does far more damage than good?

Spanking is not always a form of child abuse. That claim comes from a one size fits all mentality. Spanking can be taken too far, but it can also be useful to children with compulsive and attention deficit disorders. This can be much healthier and safer than drugs.
A quick open hand slap to the leg, can occur as fast the brief attention span of the most deficit children. They can process this, since it is within their attention range. It does not have to break bones, but just enough pain to change the focus, at the violation. Cause, effect, cause.
A long winded time out; 1 hour, for a child that can only focus for 2 seconds, will never work. This is how you train little monsters. Their mind will wonder after a minute, and then forget the original crime. They may learn to accept the time out, as justification to be mean in the future. To much time to reverse engineer. A controlled spanking would make the original violation; cause and effect, conscious. Then it is done. They can go back to play, learning to censor this exact behavior, with possible future quick lessons; pending.
The problem is many parents have monster kids they cannot control. Maybe the parents need to be spanked for their child's bad behavior. I do not mean in an abusive way. But this way we can avoid all concerns of child abuse and still get the job done. This is a liberal problem now covered up with drugs. Out of sight out of mind. Spanking parents would make it come back to mind for real change.
What gave spanking a bad name, was caused by adults taking out their adult frustrations on children. The spanking became more of an adult release of pressure and stress, and less about constructive attention and impulse control and direction for children. A teacher with a class full of monsters could get angry on some days, and over spank; enough for all, targeted at one. This is where the teacher would be better off going to the parents house and see if they can benefit by a spanking; spank the monster creator. Then it is not child abuse.
