    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    At the end of the day people should be able to choose if they want to take a vaccine or not... It is totally wrong to be forced or coerced into taking a vaccine by the government, media, big pharma, work places or anyone else. It is wrong to loose your job for not taking a vaccine. There is...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    Some people are just hostile, they love to argue. Even after I've agreed with them they continue with their bickering and antagonising. :no reply:

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    You gave two great examples. The kid in the supermarket and the kid in the car. This is what I would do. First I would get their attention and use stern words "you better settle down and behave or else I'm going to punish you when we get home" These stern words may be all that's needed for some...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    That can also be done without resorting to corporal punishment. That's what I'm saying. We can at least try non-violent punishments first before resorting to spanking the child I agree. Different kids are going to respond to different punishments. What's so insane about that? Heaps of...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    Yea but the same result could of been achieved by locking him in his room for a while or taking away his favourite toys for a while. There is no harm in at least trying non-violent punishments first

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    I'm not saying corporal punishment by parents is wrong. If other means of punishment have been exhausted and are not working then a good old fashioned spanking or a pull of the ear is required. I can't stand seeing those kids throw a tantrum at the supermarket. My sister and I would have never...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    You cherry pick scripture to support your thoughts but ignore the ones that oppose them. I'm not saying that corporal punishment is wrong, unless the parent uses excessive force and causes major injury. It's up to the parent I'm just saying that it achieves nothing that non-violent punishments...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    I was talking about parents using it. They have other means of punishment. Should schools use it? Well. Teachers don't have access to those other forms of punishment that parents have. All they can do is give them detention in which the child uses to do homework usually. So you make a valid...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    I agree. Why assault a poor child when there are other non-abusive means of punishment. Most societies don't even use physical methods to punish criminals, so why use it on vulnerable children who are still learning. I think corporal punishment should only be used in extreme cases after all...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    My question to you was What does spanking them actually achieve that other forms of punishment don't? You didn't answer the question I think because corporal punishment doesn't actually achieve anything that a non physical punishment already does.

    Pffft whatever Read on and you'll see that I posted passages that appear to oppose as well You called me a liar I warned you about it And you've called me a liar again You can piss off for all I care Don't like people who make false accusations Your actually the liar Satan is the father of lies

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    I wrote them in the OP but if you missed them here they are... Bible verses that appear to support corporal punishment Proverbs 13:24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    Physical punishment used to be popular against criminals. But most societies don't do that anymore. When then should we be doing it to kids who are just still learning and very fragile. In some sports bad athletes will miss some matches if they behave badly on the field. We can apply that to...

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    You know I thought the same thing but surprisingly a google search brought up this. It cites the Australian institute of family studies I agree. I don't see corporal punishment achieving anything more that other forms of punishment do

    Is it ok for parents to use corporal punishment to discipline their children?

    In the op I presented bible verses that appear to support corporal punishment and others that appear to oppose it. I was leaning towards yes. But after reading what people have to say and thinking about it more deeply I changed my mind. I find the arguments for it not very convincing If you...
