Corporal punishment is an effective tool in shaping a young mind, but if it's applied without a deep sense of fairness, the child often grows to hate the parent.

@plungesponge In truth, it doesn't keep the child from loving his parents, it keeps him from loving [i]himself.[/i]

@PhoenixPhail Nah, that's too simplistic of a view. I did say it had to be used with a deep sense of fairness. If the child knowingly violated their own principles, they find the love of themselves and their true values when they are back on track.

@plungesponge I'll agree to disagree.
