-- Posted by Bearsy at 2:11 am on July 10, 2009 have a child and I've seen firsthand that it works better than anything else to get kids to behave." I thoroughly agree with this. If the kid does what you tell him to, you know you're doing something right. My wife consistently burnt my coffee before I started beating her, and nothing seemed to work. After she realized that burning it would get her a punch in the face, my coffee has been perfect! Clearly beating is a working method. Asking her to 'just be careful' wasn't enough, despite what you unmarried hippies preach. -- Posted by Neodymie at 2:12 am on July 10, 2009 kids are meant to be beat. That's why they're so resilient. -- Posted by Mods1Blow2Me3Daily at 2:12 am on July 10, 2009 i believe that when i have children, those lil bastards are gettin the belt, if their misbehaviors warrant them -- Posted by ilikeeggs at 2:13 am on July 10, 2009 You have to do whatever you have to do to teach a child right from wrong.  I think it's hypocritical however for parents to hit their child then tell their child hitting is wrong. It's a lose/lose situation. -- Posted by jsia at 2:13 am on July 10, 2009 That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Ignoring the fact that you're being a dickhead for a minute, we've all been children at some point so we are the best people to have an opinion. -- Posted by Complex Kid at 2:15 am on July 10, 2009 It surprises me that no one realized that the OP was being sarcastic yet. -- Posted by GOREGASM at 2:18 am on July 10, 2009 Just abort them as a fetus and save the trouble.. -- Posted by hI jAMES at 2:21 am on July 10, 2009 I'm not gonna spank my children.  I'm going to use Cesar Millan psychology on them. -- Posted by yssuPevoLI at 2:26 am on July 10, 2009 You certainly can have an opinion about spanking without having children. I will spank mine when and it is warranted
