Unless you're pointing out a spelling error, that's what they said.

[Madmitten]

It wasn't my mom. My mom specifically said not to beat me. It was the Christian School I went to.
No, but they did circle me like sharks talking about how I liked something that came from an "evil pagan island" (read: Japan).

i only recently got into pokemon.
but your christian school and stupid and so are your parents if they let you continue to go to that school after you told them you were getting beat

I was just pointing out the fact that Japan has nothing to do with Pagans

I never told them. I thought I was a terrible person. I let it slip on the last week of school I had been getting beat the entire school year and at that point it was too late to do anything.

It is a primitive practice. I mean, hitting your kids to instill fear and obedience?
That's something that was in style 2000 years ago.

So is breathing and loveual intercourse..

But wait that has nothing to do with child abuse

[Doomonkey]

When I think about my time as a kid, I find that words are much more hurtful then a beating. My parents never said, "I hate you!" or anything like that. But knowing that I had disappointed them, was more than I could bear. The thought that the only people in my life didn't like me was something I could not put up with.

For me, a physical rebuking is connotative with correction, not dislike. But negative words are. I would gladly take a spanking over losing the favor of my family.

It is because of this that I think the best way to parent a child it to:
 - Give them standards and expectations
 - Let them know you love them and that your physical corrections are not meant to damage them, but to help them
 - No extremes (Don't tell them you hate them, or act like you do)

[naturemon]

Well I understand that hitting may be the most effective way of doing it, but not the right way. I'm never violent in life, ever. Only when it comes to communication, but not physically.

I have never gotten in a fight of any sort, I however was physically punished (extremely rare) when I was younger, it's not in my nature toharm others, I know for a fact I wouldn't feel how I do now about fighting were it not for the possibility of being physically punished.

That's why I said it depends on who it is.

It's a biblical teaching that has been proven by every sort of child protection agency as being ineffective.
It is a "what" that is a "practice," which is "primitive."

You've made two incorrect statements in one thread over the course of 5 minutes. Cease and desist.

Nothing. You mook.
