"Donna Metler" wrote in message .. . "ChrisScaife" wrote in message ... How would he a better person if I was beating him (the animal society way) instead of teaching him interaction according to modern principles of human society. I don't know of animals that beat their young. Only degenerate humans could be that base. ;-) Mama cats swat kittens on the nose for misbehavior, along with a hiss. Yes and dogs (or should I say bitches) will growl at a pup that gets a bit too boisterous... but it's a long way off from human children who go round covered in bruises and may even suffer permanent damage from their parent's fit of rage. Making the kid understand WHY is all it takes and thrashing them really doesn't help. |

Do you know of any animal that put their youngs in diaper??? ;-) That is because animals are not able to do that, but they are able to injure their offspring. They choose not to. Actually, it depends on what kind of animals we are talking about; some do eat their youngs. You are right that most animals are very protective of their youngs. It is ironic then to think that humans are difference and as parents, we don't know how to take care of our youngs. If you've been listen to the anti-spanking zealotS, we have been doing it wrong since the beginning of time! As for abortion... I would rather not start on that one right now. Chris It's your choice! :-) Doan |

Donna,
Animals cannot speak. Animals communicate through body language and vocalizations. This is why mana cats swat their kittens on the nose. Mama cat is raising her babies to survive in their world. I can speak, and so can you. I didn't need to raise my children with hitting. I taught my children to survive and prosper as humans. Mama cat is teaching her children to survive as cats. See the difference, Donna? LaVonne Donna Metler wrote: "ChrisScaife" wrote in message ...

Don't disagree with LaVonne, she's an ""expert""!
chuckle The whole thread seems so "academic" as to be out there in LaLa Land. Ego stroking and people feeling very philosophical and all.. Look, There goes LaVonne, the Pied Piper of Dinkytown! AdoptaDad wrote Many animals use what amounts to some form of physical discipline when rearing their offspring. It's not uncommmon at all. In addition, there are several species that actually eat their young. Given my druthers, I'd rather be beaten than eaten. And since I'm the male of my species, I'm rather thankful I'm not a black widow spider or preying mantis. Humans are no more (or less) base than the other species on this planet. |

Mama cat is teaching her children to survive as cats. See the difference, Donna? LaVonne I'm not pro-spanking. However, the claim was that NO animals use physical punishment-and it only takes one counterexample to disprove such a claim. I'd also argue that most child development theorists who advocate spanking do so only with quite young children, who aren't exactly capable of higher level reasoned discourse, and usually only in situations where an immediate adversive response is necessary. Which is exactly the mama cat's response. Donna Metler wrote: "ChrisScaife" wrote in message ...

Doan: It's not the first time that I've seen
these ultraliberal types makes grunting noises about how terrible human beings are. I agree when it comes to needless slaughter of dolphins or higher primates, but these types generally apply these comments in stupid ways. The neurotic ultraliberals actually think that by chattering a whole bunch, and patting each other on the back, their BS is "the truth"! The truth is that this sort of debate is more typical of a few petulent 17 year olds who think they have it all figured out. I would suggest to you, Doan, to let them prattle on about their gibberish and let them delude each other rather than lend them credence by even debating with them on such an incredibly stupid premise/whine. Just LET THEM go walking out over the edge of the cliff with their raging cultic views. |

The more they post publicly the better it is for others to see their true character. Sit back an enjoy the spectacles! :-) Doan |

Too me it seems that a lot of heated debate here is due to misunderstanding. In this case I suspect we are not all talking about the same kind of "beating" of children. Sometimes people are just being argumentative to score points with other readers of the NG. I always ask myself if I would send the same posting by private e-mail. If not, then I don't send it. Regarding administering pain as a general principle for enforcing your authority: Would you rather your kids comply because they fear you, or because they agree with you about what is wrong and what is right. IMHO if fear is the motivator, then they will offend the moment your back is turned and have no respect for authority. If consent is the motivator they will have self discipline. Now what exactly is YOUR point of view ? |

Doan: When Lemmings run over a cliff en masse, why stop them?
When you challenge them it only curbs their insane excess. Sorry if you thought I was dictating rather than suggesting. ChrisScaife wrote We ARE discussing "beating" of children. I have seen my own son covered in bruises, administered by his mother and/or her lover who is a professional martial arts expert. Wait a minute Chris Scaife! When you say "covered in bruises" are you talking about bruises from blocking in Martial Arts? Isn't that a common thing for people who love that sport and want to do well? Aren't such bruises a bit like some of the injuries from other sports? Football, Pole vaulting, etc..? Learning to ride a bike? I would expect a certain amount of bruising happens in Martial Arts training. Are you setting this aside when you say "covered in bruises"? You can label it "stupid neurotic ultraliberal type BS grunting noises", but people who condone that kind of human behaviour will never get MY respect! Are you disrespecting Martial Arts in general? Or just the one person teaching it? |

Greg, I meant that the adult is a martial arts expert.
