Like I said before, most children (at least from the pool I have to draw upon) do not require this sort of punishment, so the lack of corporal punishment would obviously not cause anarchy. But, I think it would be small minded of anyone to say that there are definitely no problem children in that country. Perhaps you disagree, but I believe there are children in this world that would benefit from such punishment.Cheeze_Pavilion said:You know what's an even more interesting notion? The idea that an entire country has been following my ideas and hasn't exactly descended into brat-anarchy.
Oh no, you misunderstood. I was simply trying to point out that just because a country makes a law it doesn't make it right. Both Saudi Arabia's law that allows adulterous women to be stoned to death and this law you speak of (by the way, can you please cite your source? It's not that I don't believe you it's that I'd like to have the same thing you're looking at in front of me so we are on the same page) I disagree with. I didn't mean to draw any more comparisons than that. I'm sorry if I did not make that clear.I can see you don't even grasp the difference between deterrence and retribution.But sadly I don't agree with them, much like I don't agree with saudi arabia stoning adulterous women to death either.
Your unnecessarily hostile tone and overtly sarcastic use of quotation marks is trolling. You're not making intelligent points anymore, you're just trying to insult me. And once again, I am not trying to, nor have I ever tried to make the point that I know more about parenting than your parents. I am saying I know more about parenting than YOU. If you want to bring your parents on here for them to argue their point of view i will gladly listen. Perhaps I could bring my parents on here too, for they raised seven children to adulthood who ranged from my little sister whom they rarely even had to raise their voice to, to my brother who used to steal money from his friends' houses and they had to beat senseless to get him to straighten up. I am sure they would have interesting things to add.Bringing to light the fact that you think you know more about parenting than a parent based on the fact that you're a camp councilor--dealing with the children that have already been screwed up by the bad parenting of others,--is not trolling.
It's making explicit the immaturity of your viewpoints.
You know, I can't really believe you're actually trying to argue this. The idea that somebody knows how to raise children just because they were one at some point is just ridiculous. I mean, if a fourteen year old girl got pregnant do you think she would make a good mother? I mean, she was a child at one point, recently in fact. So she should understand children perfectly and know how to raise one better than some adults by your logic since adults forget how irrational children are right? No, of course not, that's ridiculous. A girl that age would make an awful mother. She's immature and knows nothing about being a parent.
Finally, I noticed your posts seem to be getting angrier and while I rather like this debate we're having since I find your views interesting, I would not like to cause any negative feelings on this forum. So, if you are unable to have a calm, rational argument with me then please just tell me and I will stop posting on this thread. This discussion is not worth making enemies on this board.
