Ted Cruz Spanks His Daughter!
Agreed 100%
The damaging things done to me at the hands of my parents had little to nothing to do with spankings. My old man gave me a few really hard shellackings but those arent the things I hold a grudge over.

Practice what you preach.
And by the way, if you actually read what I initially wrote, I had a problem with Cruz denigrating another Presidential candidate (Clinton) by saying she should be spanked like he spanks his daughter, not that he's allegedly a child abuser simply because he spanks his daughter. Don't be so damn eager to jump all over me.
It's certainly not out of the realm of political campaign mudslinging. It has a very long history.
Maybe if you took down that neon Kick Me sign you've been wearing on your back for the past 6 years...
Rest assured the average run of the mill spanking will be less damning than an expulsion.
Either you're imagining a neon "kick me" sign on my back, or you're back to justifying bullying again, as that's the sort of thing a bully would say.
As for spanking being preferable to expulsion - you let a stranger hit your kid, and see how it makes you feel.
And in regard to political mudslinging - sure, there's a long history of it, but that doesn't make it right.
If no one wants spankings in school, fine - I can see that to a point. HOWEVER, I'm tired of parents these days not being able to control their kids. If your kid is disrupting school for the other kids, then they should be expelled INDEFINITELY and the parents forced to home school so others won't have to deal with their unruly brats. Kids get away with too much these days and something needs to be done about it. Maybe they should be sent to a disciplinary school made just for kids who decide to misbehave. Most parents these days don't know how to parent properly and shouldn't even have kids, but they do and the rest of us are forced to put up with their little asses. You have any better ideas Kraichgauer? I know how we take care of unruly adults in the hospital - they get doped up and if that doesn't work then they get restrained and that's all legal. Kids should be no different if they choose to misbehave and break the rules. Teachers are NOT babysitters, FYI.

Hit your kid and your kid will hit other kids. Bully your child and your child will think it's okay to bully other children. Sexually abuse your kid and he/she will perform those same acts on other children, not even realizing that what they are doing is considered wrong. (After all why would they if their own parent does it).
As children grow other they may begin reject their parent's disciplinary methods, but many will go on to repeat the cycle when they have kids of their own. It's really not very logical to spank your kid for misbehaving, unless you want to teach your child how to be aggressive.
In my case hitting is the only way I could be reached sometimes.
I could comment on that last part, but that would be cruel.

I can see you're being your old charming self again.

Don't you just love going out to eat someplace and people just let thier undomesticated kids run around like animals making nuisances of themselves? You'd think they could at least have the common courtesy to hog tie them in public places like that.

Every post, eh? If that were the case with over 10k posts of nothing but bullying and denigrating people I would have been banned not once but multiple times over the years.
Hint: Disagreeing isn’t bullying.

Nice straw man but I knew you’d have to work blacks and gays in there somehow. It’s a signature trait of yours. [/quote]
Whatev…

Hog tying might be just a wee bit much, Mr. R.

Hog tying, hobbling, leg irons, police chokehold, I don't really care. Whatever it takes to ensure a quiet and peaceful dining experience for the other patrons.

I wound never spank my child. My mother spanked me everyday in my life for no reason at all. Once it got to the point where I walked into school with black and blue marks. To this day, I have never worn a belt because I have a phobia toward it. My father on the other hand spanked me twice in my entire childhood. He preferred the lecture than the belt. I believe a little swat on the behind will work.

I think some duct tape would work swell, don't you Mr. R? It's economical, comes in a nice prison gray color, can be used to keep someone securely in their chair and help to control all the "yap yap". It's true, duct tape can be used for anything.

Disagreeing is one thing, demeaning is quite another.
And I can't speak for others, but I'm not s snitch. The only time I'd complain about someone else is if I received a threat from them, as I did from one NT who had briefly belonged to WP. Besides calling me an Aspie ret*d, he sent me pictures from a site regarding murder and bloody mutilation.

I did say I didn't want to be cruel.
