If your parents hit you it is not abuse it's disaplin

Not sure if serious.

Poor African's.

Is this a joke?

No not a joke

It's not abuse if they spank you for doing something wrong or bad. It is discipline because it teaches you not to do that wrong or bad thing anymore.
-
You would not want the pain of a spanking again, therefore you will avoid the action that was being punished.
-
You can't justify hitting someone your own age because they've done something you don't like unless they've hit you first. People think they have the right to strike their children because said children came from them. It's treating them as less human than the parents. It's disrespectful. There are ways to discipline children without being a fckhead.
-
Regardless of whether or not you're for disciplining children, don't you think it's kind of stupid to put a child and an adult on the same level? Children objectively ARE less human than their parents, that's why we have consent laws, why children can't drive cars, why there are age restrictions on media and a whole slew of other precautions we take to ensure that responsibility falls on a adult rather than a child.
Also, with the risk of siding with the likes of Panda and Muscle, I'm all for spanking as discipline. There is a difference between abuse and punishment. And punishment isn't a bad thing, so long as it's appropriate and reactionary to something a child's done. -
They aren't less human, the age restrictions are to protect them because they aren't developed enough to drive a car etc.

The very fact that they're developing at all implies that one is more important than the other, or at least more developed. If we define human as having worth or skills or knowledge or experience or possession of anything really, an adult is certainly more human than a child. Only under the broadest definition of human being 'is a homo sapian' are a child and an adult of the same importance, and at that point there's no reason to compare the two because you're already ignoring the gigantic differences between them.
The average adult is more responsible, smarter, experienced, wealthy and contributes more to society than the average child. Therefore, the adult is more 'human' than a child. Only if you argue that everyone is exactly equal in every way and deserves the exact same things at all times is this wrong, and that argument is objectively wrong, as I explained in my last post. -
I can't equate productivity to worth. I feel that's too harsh. I'm sure it's more realistic, but I'm heavily sentimental and I don't believe that children should be struck. I believe that violence is a form of punishment that should be reserved for people who intentionally harm others, not for kids that are making mistakes and learning. I'd rather take away privileges.
-
I can understand that. Personally, I think productivity is the only measure of worth, but I can understand your view.
-
IHLAOY, I completely agree with you, even though I am a child myself.
