Writer's Block: Something to cry about

I'm fine with whatever consenting adults do together.

With children? Barbaric and cruel. I don't think that physical violence should be encouraged in either parents or children, and while people do snap, humiliating and physically harming people dependent on you is inhumane.

Corporeal? That's a what, an angry corporeal patronus? Seriously though, this is a question people seriously ask? This depresses me.

Spare the rod, spoil your child etc. The Word of the Lord tells you the right way to treat your children - AND PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS SHIT D:

Seriously. One person kept quoting the proverbs at people and meant it. So depressing. I don't understand these people. I bet they're who will beat their children for beating other children, too. Being a kindergarten teacher in that place would give me a headache.

Hmm, see, I'm torn on this one. My mother never spared the rod, so to speak, and I think I turned out ok. When my terror of a little sister was growing up, she tested our patience with an eagerness that made me believe she was spawned from the pit of Hades. I never hit her, though, because she wasn't my child. I almost did, once, when she threw a bowl of stir fry at me (I'd had the audacity to catch her in a lie), but I didn't. My mom didn't hit her often, either, but she was spanked. Now, do people even draw a line between spanking and beating? Should one be drawn? Is my perspective too skewed? These and other questions always rear up when I think about corporeal punishment.

Hmm...
