How come the cants who say "it didn't do me any harm" tend to be cants?

I'm not sure that teaching kids that violence is the solution to a problem is necessarily a good thing.

Although I do think there's a difference between giving a wee tap on the back of the hand to a child and walloping a kid so hard on the backside that they come off their feet.

About 1 out of every 100 times I've smacked my kids I reckon it was probably the best course of action. The other 99 were just me letting a bit of steam off when there were probably better alternatives. I'm a bit better nowadays though. I try to let the drink wear off a bit before going home and nip down the pub if the hangover's got me in a stinking mood.

It never done you any harm, other than the fact you grow up thinking its ok to smack a kid.

Knew a guy(now dead and not missed)was beaten up by his da, he then to beat his mrs then his kids. His son grew up to do the same to his mrs(now divorced).

It's not the answer, though admittedly he was an extreme example.

You are using too many words there. Arguments should be resolved using fists. It's how I was brought up and never did me any harm. It has hospitalised many women, but that's harming them, not me.

I don’t have kids wieg nah, there must be better ways to discipline children especially now. Take toys off them, takes phones/consoles off older kids

Much better than actually wanting to hit them

I could be being very naive however

My teacher used to punch me. He locked me in a sports equipment cupboard for an hour after I was caught fighting for the umpteenth time.

Another teacher used to throw the board duster at me and drop books on my head

My old man smacked me once and I never played up after that.

Kids today are too soft which is why they all fight with Knives the little runts.

If they play up or show no respect then they deserve a kicking!!

Spot on Ghod

Worst thing I can do to my kids is cut the wifi or take their controllers away. They suddenly behave and become polite.

They'd probably prefer a smack to that mind you

Yes it explains why I’m so well behaved and show respect to my elders

It also shows why I beat anyone that is rude to me and that includes the youth of today

Age doesn’t bother me. I don’t care how old or young anyone is. I react the same to anyone being rude or showing no respect
