the love of god is the beginning god cannot be loved if he is cruel - this is the entire problem with the direction the west has gone since the enlightenment
Who said anything about cruelty? I say the unjust should certainly fear justice. In any case, you should let God know about that typo. I'm sure he would appreciate it
I distinctly remember my dad seeming uncomfortable and compassionate when he spanked us. It was never a spur of the moment thing. He told us the way things were, and knew that he had to come through if we misbehaved.
Well I was more referencing the people on my facebook page who post memes about how much better the discipline they had growing up was while I remember them doing a lot of questionable **** that leads me to believe that their worshiping of their nostalgic punishments had little effect on preventing how horrible of people they turned out to be (mmmmm run on sentence...) but yeah i totally agree with what you said
I looked up slang synonyms for eating ass, and one of them was "The American dream" Ain't that the truth

This^ I've never got a real spanking, well maybe a few which I most definetely deserve, but those were more correcting than punishing. I believe you can raise a good kid without even touch it with a finger because mostly it's behavior is a direct result of how the child is raised and or other surroundings/social connections/school. So a lot is preventable. There are exceptions, don't get me wrong. It's even against the law in some European countries for the fact that it can easily get out of hand. It could harm their self esteem, give anxiety or depression, their behavior problems can get worse or the parent/child relation is severely damaged.
Yes but the French are a prime example of what happens when you don't spank you're kids. If their attitude wasn't enough, the lack of spanking in their younger years has made the them crave it in their older years. Damn it, now I've got to go look up the keywords "French," "maid," "spank."
