Of course not - 20 years in jail in no way justifies killing someone. One could argue that if you don't want to follow the laws of a country, either (lawfully) challenge them or leave the country. Lol classy. Actually, the threat of the death penalty doesn't deter criminals. At all. Only...

Because.. it worked? What about that are you not understanding?

Arresting you isn't attempting to kill you, yet you'd deprive that officer of his life. Some would call that excessive force? And well, no, if you've committed a crime then by definition you're not entitled to liberty until proven innocent or punished? Isn't that how our justice system works?

Because kids are kids and still do stupid things regardless, like my sister beating me up or me dropping a drawer onto her toes.

BS. Would you resort to restrained violence to stop someone stealing your stuff? Yes. (That's not self-defence). You would kill a police officer for attempting to arrest you for a victimless crime - essentially for doing his job, even if you don't agree with it? Your ethical position is as...

You missed the point again. It was about progression. The crop was the "pinnacle of punishment", and because I respected the smack and avoided that, being hit with the crop was never in the equation. It was a threat my parents made because they knew if would never have to be used. Abuse a...

Nah, she has Self-Important Retarded Idiot Syndrome.

But as I've said, I don't think pitbulls from non-fighting show lines would need careful training, any more than other powerful breeds (rotties, labs, german shepherds). Dogs from fighting strains? Yes, and they wouldn't be appropriate around kids, I don't think (though that isn't set in stone -...

Which is why I said that those 10% of cavvies should be the line that is bred, not the 90% that have a genetic disease that doesn't need to be passed on. And no, correct, but predisposition to aggression is also largely due to environment, as below: Not if they've already been...

Well the point I was making was actually the location of the strike. There's a lot of nerves, not a lot of padding, and a huge potential to do a lot of damage if you hit a kid in the hand/fingers with a stick. There's also the distribution of force - the force of a stick (on hands, bum or...

That depends on if smacking sparingly on the bum counts as violence.

Not anymore than I would support a parent's right to smack a child's hands with a stick?

Well I suppose I should correct my statement to say that smacking wouldn't incite any MORE shame/sadness than other punishments, because that is what punishment is designed to do: teach right and wrong by making you feel BAD about doing wrong. Teaching them to not do wrong just because you say...

WTF are you talking about? I never did and never would sign something like that. I believe in drug legalisation..?

In your case? No, because a submissive urinating in the presence of a dominant is instinctual, and punishing a puppy for peeing would only incite more peeing. But in other circumstances? Yes, of course - as their mother would have (though not smacking, per se). When my dog was a puppy, and bit...

Fair point with the fur (some of them are a bit musty) but fascist? Oh come on, you can do better than that!

Are you saying I smell? :(

Oh come on, those are buckets of fun! :D

What would your useful form of punishment be, then, if you even see discipline as a necessary thing?
