    Sean Hannity is defending that football player who got in trouble for beating his son, Hannity says he was punched in the face by his dad as a kid and deserved it. He said he was whipped and beaten by his dad, but he deserved it and it made him a better person and didnt give him brain damage, although im sure we all know it really did :wink

    [video=youtube;UyP4EYJyGAY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyP4EYJyGAY[/video]

    Let me recap the general scope of the past couple months,

    The Right wings thinks its ok to hit women, beat children, shoot minorities if they are too tall (Michael Brown), and to also shoot minorities if they are walking home (Trayvon). Yet, it is the left wing that causes death, violence, and authoritarianism? What a joke :roflol:

    The Right wing is on the wrong side of EVERY single issue, except ISIS. But when they tell ISIS to convert or die, yeah they are on the wrong side of even the ISIS issue.

    I saw a woman pop her son in the mouth today at the auto shop when I guess he said a word that she warned him not to say again.

    I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm not saying close hand clock your kid in the jaw but I have no issues with a parent popping their child in the mouth.

    Dishonest as usual, the left can never frame issues honestly, it might make them have to actually have a debate, perish the thought. The guy switched his son on the back of the legs, far from a "beating," which generally implies an all over the body assault to reasonable people. Kids are switched, spanked, on the back of the ass and legs so as not to cause injury, and it's dishonest to conflate that attention to -not- harming the kid with a regular street level beating intending to inflict injury. Parents should be the final authority on whether to use that kind of corporal punishment, not you, me or the government, certainly not a bunch of MSM leftist handflapping ninnies on television.

    Perhaps you'd prefer the "prescription pad and therapy" abuse the left loves to inflict so much? Not me, I'm glad I was switched and spanked as opposed to DRUGGED into a stupor.

    A. A friend of mine was widowed three times. She had nine children which she raised largely alone. When all the kids were grown we were talking about what a great job she'd done. Two were lawyers, one worked in goverment, two were school teachers and the other four had good jobs. I reminded her that if she were trying to raise them again she'd be in jail. Spanking isn't allowed now where she lived.

    B. I was working in my yard and my neighbor was in his yard painting a picnic table. His 16-year old son came into the yard and my neighbor said, "Bud, did you haul thos boxes for your mother." Bud said, "Tell the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) to haul them herself."

    When he picked himself up he was screaming, "Officer Kelly did you see that?"
    "I did. And Carl, you really need to get your feet set before you throw the punch or you lose most of the power. Do you want to try it again or do you want to let Bud go haul the boxes." Bud hauled the boxes.

    I never had to spank or hit my kids but I did preclude the possibility. My reason was simple. I was hit a lot, mostly by my mother, and I can't say it did a bit of good. They would have done better talking to me but they never tried that. My wife was a hitter and when they were grown my son said the talks we had were a lot harder than the slaps from his mother.

    I don't believe in hitting people.

    But i believe that people have a right to defend themselves against any form of attack, and against any attacker, regardless of what the society and the law says.

    To not allow people to defend themselves is asinine.

    Gender or age should not give people special privileges.

    Did you not see the pictures?. The piece of (*)(*)(*)(*) who called himself the father on this 4 year old boy whipped his this child so hard he was drawing blood from his thighs. This is his own child. You have to be a piece of (*)(*)(*)(*) to hurt your own child in such a way. This child will most likely have physical scaring from this, let alone mental (*)(*)(*)(*). If this had been done to a dog, everyone would by crying a river as an animal abuser.

    What could a 4 year old possibly have done or even have the understanding of what was done which would deserve this:

    [​IMG]


    note the pictures are of wounds that are old, god knows what this child's legs looked and felt like in the days that followed.



    Anyone saying this is not abuse and valid corporal punishment is fked in the head. Hanity knows this is abuse, but he says his (*)(*)(*)(*) for rating and shock value.

    Yes I saw them days ago, and they are not indicative of any "abuse" in the least. Topics like this are informative in distinguishing people who grew up under a rock, and navigate via pure emotions, from those who have actually experienced the wide world and know a real injury when they see one. Those pictures are -not- one.

    ...endless wailing of the well-manipulated drama queen over a mundane switching.

    ...and drama queen has never owned a dog, or at least never owned a well-trained one.

    Oh and we work in the "eternal infancy" appeal too. 4 year olds are plenty old enough, and are capable of doing plenty of things that earn a spanking or switching. But that's a matter for parents to decide, not me.

    Not much different, I'm sure, and one nice thing about such corporal discipline, it doesn't hurt at all after it's over. Stings like hell though when the switch is being applied. Good. Far better for the child and infinitely more humane than ritalin.

    Anyone who confuses a garden variety switching with "child abuse" is a total drama queen... and fked in the head.

    Yeah, it seems to me there's a certain amount of physical punishment that is healthy. It helps us to learn our place in the social order instead of growing into monsters.

    So you are what I stated in my former post. Obviously people exist who think this is A-ok, like yourself. Doesn't change that fact that it is abuse plain and simple. Just means there are fked up people in the world. Nuff said.

    Anyone thinking this is proper punishment was most likely abused in the same fashion as a child and perpetuates the cycle. Sadly we find the same cycles exists in child sexual abuse as well.

    Parents have different ways of raising their children. Some parents choose timeout, some choose taking away things as punishment, some choose physical punishment etc. People need to realize that just because "you" wouldn't do that to your kids doesn't mean its wrong. There are plenty of people out there who truly believe that any physical punishment towards a child should be outlawed.

    I personally know a little one who developed a trend of hitting his parents whenever he got upset for any reason. Now every time he gets upset and balls his little fists he stops and thinks and quickly shouts "No! Don't hit or I'll hit you back" because thats what daddy said and daddy meant it.

    The only problem is that he now uses that phrase every single time he gets upset at anything at all so Im pretty sure there are people living around us who think Im in there beating the snot out of him or something. The good part is that I never have to actually cause him pain. The sound of me slapping my thigh while tapping him scares him enough that he thinks he's actually getting a real spanking lol.

    Some kids are worse than others, but I'd never go any farther than a few spankings. Humiliation is also a great method for teaching your child a lesson.

    If I have no desire to detain/kill you and take your child, I have no desire to prevent you from exercising whatever practices you like as a parent.

    The question is: has this crossed that line. Smacking doesn't qualify, nor does the belt, nor a whipping with an extension cord - depending on the punch that'd be the minimum force I'd be willing to intervene to prevent.

    In all but the most exceptional circumstances, families should be sovereign in their parenting.

    [hr][/hr]

    But I have little sympathy for Hannity. Far too much of a social conservative for my liking.

    Despite the photos, it should still be innocent until proven guilty.

    Photos aren't real evidence.

    I'm just fascinated by how much anecdotal evidence plays a part in the argument.

    So if children arent beat into submission, they will grow up to be monsters? I would argue its quite the opposite.

    How else would you handle children like Bart Simpson or Cartman?

    They may be cartoon characters, but there children out there that are like them.

    They will not listen to reason nor things like please stop.

    And you'd be wrong but I suspect you're used to that. Conservative values are logical, Spooky, and don't have to be beaten into anyone who is reasonably intelligent. There's a reason liberals need purges and bans and force.

    Since we are apparently still in fantasy/fallacy land fueled entirely on emotion as opposed to rationality or fact, anyone jumping to the conclusion that a garden variety switching is some "cycle of abuse" without MUCH more evidence is probably a self-interested social worker or some other form of nannyninnygov gynocrat who is part of the problem of an epidemic of spoiled, unruly, but drugged up "special snowflake" children in contemporary US culture.
