A gentle smack ont he hand that doesnt inflict much pain is a non issue.. I wouldnt even call that a spanking, thats just a gesture, I'd do that with my friend if he tried to steal my food :)
Yea the fact that your parents employ effectively torture techniques (albeit it in lighter form) to get compliance is just disgusting... We have abolished it throughout most of the modern of world but people still think its ok to use pain and abuse to control your child...
@realcaseyrollins I mean your the one asking the question.
to me a spanking is just a very specific type of beating where you are inflicting pain on the child by beating them on the ass.
I think parents mostly use it as a euphemism for beating their child without needing to admit they actually beat their child.
For sure, i would call it out in private too.. In this situation she had done it in public and a bunch of people int he resteraunt gave her shit.. she came to me to complain how she was "disiplining" her kid in public and how she got in trouble.... this was when i learned she hit her kid and i lost it. I didnt see the actual abuse, she was coming to me to tell me how she was "unfairly" criticized for hitting her kid. My response was "good, they should have criticized you, your lucky thats all they did, stop beating your child"
@TruthSandwich Funny how that works huh, its almost like being a shitty person and horrible president doesnt get you elected or something...weird.
@thor its a cracker more or less, by itself it will be like cardboard, just like any other toast or unflavored cracker... So that seems like a silly take to me.
Its all about what you put on it, and when you load it up right it can be amazing. Even some butter and salt is pretty good if your a toast fan.
I love that stuff!
@KiffinEileen Of course it has value before its cut down. People buy land for the forests on them all the time, even with no intention of cutting it down.

BREAKING: Israel military confirms it bombed Gaza’s largest refugee camp—resulting in IDF mass killing Palestinian refugees. Horrific.
We demand a Ceasefire. It is a violation of international human rights law to kill refugees & civilians.
#CeasefireNOW

@bibliolater Man vox, they always get everything wrong... They mention "its not a symphony its a requiem"... no... its a symphony and a requiem.
A requiem is a compilation written for mass. A symphony is an orchestra piece with certain musical qualities. It was both.
