I wasn't spanked as a child. Not as a rule, anyway. My parents would explain to me what consequences my actions had. If I misbehaved, their disappointment was enough punishment. But there were occasions where I completely, consciously disobeyed them, and I got spanked.
It was the embarrassment and surprise that disciplined me on those occasions, not physical pain or fear of their power. The fact that I had misbehaved so much to drive my parents to do that was enough to make sure I didn't do it again. This is what people against spanking fail to realise. It's not about being an authoritarian.
Obviously if all you do is spank, spank, spank then you cause problems, because there is no reasoning and then it all becomes about aggression. But likewise, purely reasoning with your child and not following up with actual punishment is just as bad.
But the most important thing is that every child is different. Some kids will respond highly to reasoning. Others won't respond at all. Some kids don't need to be spanked, others need to be spanked because they don't understand the consequences from disobeying the reasoning. It's all about finding the balance. And that is up to the parents.
only been in one "fight", which involved the kid throwing a wild swing at my ear, me having no idea what was going on, and my friend pushing him away almost immediately
fighting is dumb and i hate all the assholes who decide to engage in that behavior at the bar because then i actually have to do my job instead of stare at co-ed ass all night

's what i always thought. it will get you out of lot of fights, but sometimes, just sometimes, it ain't gonna be enough.
also it is really easy to get punched out cold if the other guy knows what he's doing. double that if you get suckerpunched (which somehow, fight-picking assholes are tremedously fond of.

That's also why I got my permit to carry a concealed firearm. After my wife's uncle just got killed by a psycho with a knife, I felt it was time to not fuck around with it anymore.

im so glad we don't do that.
seriously, i'd be shitting my pants so much if everyone around me was packing heat.
fuck the bat if you're in the car just run them over
yeah but if I'm outside the car
I've been meaning the move the bat into my room, actually. I'm usually closer to my house than my car when I feel like things might turn ugly (I live across from a/"the" bar)

If you're fully trained, it's no big deal. My father taught shooting to beginners in the military, so I've been trained it that style of gun safety, trigger safety, and properly identifying my target before shooting as to not hit some poor unlucky bastard behind it.
Now fucktard gun nuts who think spraying bullets in the vicinity of a target is a plan of action scare me. There are way too many of them.

better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it
i seriously hate having to walk to my truck at 3am and worry about ghetto thugs and crackheads outside the bar who have a bone to pick with somebody that may have thrown them out for being an asshole
but by 3am most of the time there is nobody around.
still disconcerting when you're at work and you've got a whole crowd of jackasses walking off saying they're gonna fuck you up later and get you another time white boy etc etc

Yeah, it's amazing how many minor incidents I read about turn ridiculously violent for no reason. People are fucking insane.
For instance, 2 weeks ago my wife's uncle heard a scream at his neighbor's place (it's a double home). He was worried because he knew the lady had two young kids like 10 and 12 years old, and her elderly grandfather (85) lives there too.
So, he went over their back deck and knocked on the door, and through the glass saw tons of blood. He told his wife to get back in the house and dial 9-1-1. He went in to check and the psychopath ex-boyfriend of the lady, who was out of jail only a year or two for stabbing someone else to death at 18 years old, went fucking nuts in the house because she was going to get married to another man.
Her uncle fought the guy, but he ended up getting stabbed and falling over. Then he got his throat slit. The cops caught the asshole, but my wife's whole family is now in a state of shock. This clown killed 3 people in the house and her uncle that came over to help. First quadruple homicide in this area ever.

punishment was a belt
I was reading Ranes thing about being punched and the first real fight where I was hit in the face was with a bat.

one time was in a haystack jungle gym where some guy was picking on my sister who was sitting on top. it was just like thunder dome!!
Half in middle school while most the others were relegated to bars (either working or as a patron).
did backhand my brother a few years ago, but to be fair, he was being a bitch and totally deserved it.
Thankfully it only happened a couple of times in college before I realized I was being an idiot
i just found Pushing Daisies seasons 1 and 2 on netflix instant cue
i know what im doing this weekend
then the dude just walked away
ahh the halcyon days of high school freshmanhood
It's way up on my list of one of the worst places to get hit.
started typing it up but it's pretty boring and mainly the result of drunk assholes
I have a Louisville Slugger in the back of my car now

and he did't hit you back? that shit gets you in fight generally.
