Now that Marinus is gone, I can spew hate. >:@ No, you dumb fuck, you cannot use it either way. At the ripe old age of 16 with a good decade of English classes under your belt (hopefully anyway) you would know that the plural form of the word life is only lives. Don't worry though. Im sure you're a good, morally sound person. Just improve a bit on the English side of life. 0.o

MerrikBarbarian | 9

#3645662 - Sunday 27 November 2011 01:33

Not much of a debate since many places now ban spanking and if you spank a child in public you can be charged with abuse.

gabrielbaby | 9

#3645691 - Sunday 27 November 2011 01:35

It depends. Haven't you ever said something like that. The child doesn't understand that's a bad thing, I did it as a child before. But as you get older you start to understand. As a child they should be scolded if they don't understand it, but as they get older they should get a spanking.

deviable | 9

#3646250 - Sunday 27 November 2011 03:49

Well I view three firm smacks with a flat hand a spanking. I'm not talking about wailing on the kid.

trippyshitt | 1

#3646354 - Sunday 27 November 2011 04:19

Damn. If I said somethin like that, my grandma would beat the hell out of me. It would be DAYS before I got my ass off the floor. Also, it doesn't matter if it's a little kid. He should know not to insult people. My cousins two years old and knows not to say mean things like that.

#103 - No, that's bad parenting.

mommabear0823 | 12

#3646811 - Sunday 27 November 2011 06:33

I think that no spanking is ridiculous, I was spanked as a child, most of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents were as well, why is it different now from say 50 years ago, when they got a strap not a hand. Don't get me wrong spanking with anything other than your hand is a weapon, a hand just gets the point across

bizarre_ftw | 21

#3646824 - Sunday 27 November 2011 06:39

Two things 1) spanking a child is hitting a child, it is demeaning and wrong, you should not teach a child to not do something by embarrassing them it is emotionally scarring to some extent. Punish your children, don't abuse them. 2) how has no one made a spanking --> sexual reference joke yet?

trippyshitt | 1

#3646856 - Sunday 27 November 2011 06:44

Exactly. It's abuse if you're using some heavy belt that makin' the child bleed, or if the spankings for an illegitimate reason. Getting beat by a hand when you're being BAD isn't abuse. -.- kids are so fucked up these days. We all need a spanking every now and then. My parents beat me all the time (hehe... I'm bad.) but I still love them. Its not like it's torture. It's punishment.

bizarre_ftw | 21

#3647188 - Sunday 27 November 2011 08:26

well see, my mother (on the rare occasion [not that i wasn't bad, i was just sneaky and manipulative about it]) did spank me. and see, now i dont remember what i did wrong, three days from then i couldn't remember what i did wrong. i do, however, remember the hate and need for revenge even now, and likely one or more of the times i tossed her cigarettes in the trash was fueled by said hate. even now me and my mother are not on great terms 1/3 of the time. long story short spanking = bad

Maybe if she spanked you more often you wouldn't have been such a bratty kid.

It's ok OP. Sometimes people within a normal weight range can look huge to little kids. It has happened to me, even though I am nowhere near overweight. Don't take it to heart. Also, if the case is that you do have a couple of pounds to lose, turn the comment into something positive, and use it for motivation to shed them.
