As adult are you grateful for the punishments you got as a child?

My parents say I will be gratedful for the belt and the cane.

Times have changed - almost beyond recognition - since I was your age, Erik. Corporal punishment, at school as much as at home, was the norm. I think we were more stoic and philosophical about punishments if we were caught misbehaving.

How do you know how I am about my punishments?

ArtieKat · M

@erik2000: I don't know what you feel. I was talking generally about changes in my lifetime.

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@ArtieKat: I see, I misunderstood.

@erik2000: erik...the minute you typed "beatings" you sent a message to us that you were being "BEATEN"....think before you type! I see you edited that word out from your original post

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@Fernie: I think belting or caning is a beating.

Fernie · F

@erik2000: make up your mind kid! You are now just being annoying. You took the word out of your original post and now you are using it again. I think you just want some attention

ArtieKat · M

@erik2000: I agree that any punishment with an implement constitutes a beating or flogging - call it what you will!

ArtieKat · M

@Fernie: I don't understand the point you are trying to make about Erik's use of words.

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@ArtieKat: I don't see what difference it makes how you call it.

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@Fernie: I didn't want to be annoying.

Fernie · F

@erik2000: it makes a huge difference. If you don't see what difference it makes...why did you edit your post and remove the word?

Fernie · F

@ArtieKat: because a spanking is quite different than a "BEATING"

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@Fernie: I didn't edit my post. I posted it like this. Who is annoying?

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@Fernie: Just I didn't use spank or beat in my post. I used punishment belt and cane.

ArtieKat · M

@erik2000: I'm agreeing with you that words make no difference to the act of corporal punishment.

Fernie · F

@erik2000: No...you removed and changed the word "beat"...and that is what some people responded to. UGH! WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO TALK TO LITTLE KIDS? My bad!

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@ArtieKat: Of course . It doesn't hurt less if I say spank or beat. Plus I haven't changed the wording.

erik2000 · 22-25, M

@Fernie: I used the word beating in my response to Th1nkF1rst comment. It is still there and you commented that.
