I'm not so sure about that. It may seem like that to an outsider, but all my friends (and I) are students or will be studying next year. We ARE the people that are willing, and definitely capable, because of our universitary education, to "ensure further development". That while none of us is a "power-seeking sociopath", and all of us are "partying like there is no tomorrow".

Going back to my first post, I spoke about corporeal punishment of children. While it is required for law to protect the weak, in this case, a child from parental abuse (beating the child senseless), I do not accept that it take away from me a form of punishment that works, has worked since time immemorial and leaves little mental scarring. Sometimes, locking you kid in a room or taking away his toys just doesn't cut it. Sometimes they do not listen and then come out with "I have rights, you cannot touch me" routine.

Corporal punishment is not needed. I've never been hit by any of my parents, but nobody's gonna be able to say I haven't been raised properly. IMHO, a parent that needs to inflict pain, or even threatening to inflict pain for that matter, to keep his/her children under control, is a bad parent (or at least one who's children raising techniques could be improved). A good parent is able to make his/her children do as he/she wishes without all that. |
