Politics divides. Trade brings people together. Destroy political power & set trade free.

You are implying a position of unquestionable authority by way of having kids. It's not a valid argument.

Hitting (no matter what you want to call it) is not discipline. Discipline is internal self regulation. You aren't teaching that, you are demonstrating your lack of it.

Except for the logical fallacies...? "There isn't enough time" (everything is an emergency, right?) & telling me I can't understand because I don't have kids.

You seem to be misinterpreting my point. You are justifying physical aggression with "there isn't enough time."

Neither can you apparently. You hit & make arguments from authority. Might have something to do with how you were raised.

If you don't want them to hit people & you want them to deal with problems rationally & intelligently, you should model that behavior. Hitting them isn't making them better people, it's only repeating the cycle that made you someone who hits kids.

And sure, you can resort to the "you can't understand" argument like I haven't been a kid, like I haven't seen my friends & family have kids, like I haven't seen the results of their different appraoches, like I haven't studied the subject to prepare for kids, & like I just can't fathom how exhausting the whole process can be. But it's just an effort to escape having to actually deal with the issue.

Parents who regularly resort to similarly authoritarian trump cards "It's not your house" "Because I said so" "You're too young to understand" are teaching their kids to make arguments from authority rather than to actually have well thought out reasons for what they do.

Would you "discipline" a retard or an elderly person who has lost their mind the same way? You imply that it's the only or the best way to communicate & make them understand because that are irrational...?

Would you train a bear or an elephant or a chimp by "spanking" it?

Tell yourself whatever you want... But it's exactly what I described. The frustrated kid walks around & tries to slap everyone on the legs. You aren't teaching internal self regulation or discipline. You are teaching either violence or mindless obedience, & both are great sources of evil in the world.

Fixing the crumbling public infrastructure & marking it as having been fixed by #Bitcoin isn't any sort of legitimate property crime. It's not even private property that is being repaired & it is saving private vehicles from damage so there is really not even the possibility of a victim.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Hitting kids only teaches them that to get what you want you have to be bigger & stronger & "in charge."

I have friends who hit their kids & they seem to just mentally block out the fact that when their son gets frustrated he walks around the room & hits everyone. They always act surprised. I have seen people literally hitting their kids saying " We. Dont. Hit." In time with the smacks.

It's so fucking obvious. And it has been clearly shown to lower IQ & reduce self control.

You are demonstrating that when you can't outsmart your kid you will resort to violence rather than distractions or instruction or anything else. So they will also resort to violence rather than learn to think.

If your logic worked then we should just hit old people when they get back to a stage when they don't understand either.

The worst is the people who had a fucked up childhood who want their kids to get the same treatment.

"My parents hit me & I turned out fine!"

If you want to hit your kids then not really...

Lol, definitely the "fake money for criminals"

They just have to get better at working together.
