FB09 - It's a shame you don't know who said those things. They clearly all deserve a spanking.

facebooker09 - It's funny how you see the judgment pointed at you as harmful but are so dismissive of judgment of people you don't agree with. Your kids will learn a lot from you.

facebooker09 - "so even though that (sic) none of the "spankers" are judging the "non spankers" for not doing so, you guys can judge us for doing it. Awsome. Id rather spank my kid than teach him to judge others."
Really? Did you read the first 50 comments?
They included:
"Not spanking your children is just another reason why kids these days are so soft and expect everything handed to them. Congrats to all you extremely liberal parents that are softening the nation."
and
"Don't believe the touchy-feely-hands-off hype."
and
"So where are all the bleeding hearts? Maybe they are in hiding,because they all know they have screwed up as parents,and i use that word parent very lightly. "
and
"You're (sic) alternative parenting methods screwed up an entire generation and we are worse off for it."
and
"The LACK of spanking is what is destroying the minds of our children."
Should I continue or would you like to recant your statement about how judgemental BOTH sides can be?

Non-spanking discipline is not synonymous with no discipline. It is amazing to me that pro-spanking commenters frequently remark how rarely they actually use the technique, and simultaneously condemn those non-spanking “liberals” with wild-as-wolves children. If a child who was spanked 3 times in their life had NOT been spanked, would that child have turned into a juvenile delinquent as a result? Really? Either spankers are spanking far more often than they admit or those few spankings probably weren't *really* entirely necessary.
We don’t spank our son. Many strangers have complimented his good behavior at Woodman’s. Perhaps it was some of you? Would you take it back if you knew he learned his behavior through consistent and well-communicated expectations and follow-through by his parents instead of spanking?
I was never spanked – my parents were very strict and firm with discipline without being physical (and not a soul who knows my father would consider him liberal). I am now a mature, happy, law-abiding citizen with a good job and a great family. So is my husband – and his parents swatted him a few times. While I don’t personally feel it’s necessary, it didn’t scar him for life, but I don’t think it saved him from a life of hooliganism, either.

We're all God's children, so I'll bet he spanks us.
