Is "smacking" some sort of British slang for something?

spanking

is the american word

Aha

Yeah, in the American sense, this law would be uselessly broad

Also, who the hell is the State to tell me how to discipline my kid?

yeah

pretty much

Well, I don't think parents should have the ability to attack their kids for not behaving

@The Electric Lizard I'll take your nannying under advisement, thank you

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

its a basic parenting technique

Can't parent anymore Kafir

ALALALALALA

Yeah maybe beating your kids with a bike lock is a bad idea

it would be better to just eat the ones who cant behave

@system11 Amen

but we already have laws about that

People shouldn't beat their kids at all, There are different ways to teach right and wrong other then attacking them

spanking isnt beating

They are similar

imagine thinking spanking is beating

And the intention is the same

@The Electric Lizard Yes, Grandma

your wife must really not be into anythign slightly more ranchy than missionary

You are using pain as a way to make someone act how you want them to act

@Benjamin Henry It really isn't that irregular to oppose it

wow, pain is a way to show how something is negative

i wonder if we do this in other places

a slap on the backside is not the same thing as beating someone

<:thinkgon:560211224923734026>

@The Electric Lizard It's also none of your concern, unless the kid actually gets injured

So everyone should just follow rules out of fear of pain? @notaglobe

that's some autistic reductionism

until theyre old enough to have a reasoned discussion and follow the rules, yes

I disagree

ok

then you disagree

@The Electric Lizard Statist
