GNU_Linux Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 More than likely folk who think coropral will put the bairns on the path to be a good & proper member of society like kids used to be also think bringing back national service will do the same.

I know. I mean it must have been great living in pre-1980's Scotland without all the muggings, rape, murder and generally cheeky b*****dness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I was smacked as a child. I don't have any resentment towards my parents but I certainly don't advocate it today. I have two daughters, I wouldn't hit any female so why would it be acceptable to hit my own girls? My sister in laws smack their kids* and any time it was in my presence I felt extremely uncomfortable. It's not discipline, it's lazy parenting. You can better results actually speaking to children. * I don't know if they do it now that it's illegal but it really wouldn't surprise me sadly.

Funky Nosejob Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Speaking as someone who was regularly given the tawse and the cane at school, I think our society is in a far better place without the legalised assault of our children by their parents and educators. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory, presumably postulated originally by the Marquis de Sade, was that children learned better when teaching was followed by a damn good thrashing. So you'd ace your Latin vocab for the day, then take an absolute pounding regardless, just to make sure it sank in. Our grandparents/great-grandparents generations must have been considered absolute pussies for only kicking the shit out of the kids as punishment. Unrelated, but supposedly average IQ levels have risen so rapidly over the past hundred years that the Victorians would be considered mentally retarded by modern standards. Fancy.

Yes! Like if a football club's fans demanding punishment for other people's offensive singing. And not realising it would also apply the them. Cue hilarity as UEFA fines rack up. In a purely hypothetical scenario, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
