Thatâs absolute demonstrable bollocks and you well know it but you wonât admit it because you donât like it.

Ainât that the fucking truth. Like living in North Koreaâs seriously communist side.
So letâs do this. @Mascot I think we know you never smacked your kids. Are they well behaved now? Did you watch as they reached up and burnt themselves on the kettle and with a strong but firm voice say âDonât do that?â Or did you think fuck it and let them burn themselves? First time jnr used a glue gun I did the warning and later applied the gallons of cold water. But then you donât give a glue gun to a toddler as you should be too busy teaching them to behave without hitting them. Bet you donât answer honestly.
Weâre back in Demolition Man.
Canât resist. You do know that a few decades ago was the height of your political allegiances powers donât you?
While the Conservatives were fighting alongside the feminists, I suppose?

You might be a prick by your own definition but Iâve never EVER lost my temper with my child. Never needed to. Iâm not a shit parent.
throws the ball up and waits for somebody to smack it into their own face.
No, itâs not a quote. Itâs intentionally bastardising what I posted. Thereâs a fucking surprise.
You can say itâs bollocks all you like, but itâs true.
Decades ago it was common that men hit their wives. And it would be justified as âjust when they deserve itâ, âwhen they need a short, sharp shockâ, âas long it isnât excessive and out of controlâ
Exactly the same arguments that are used to justify hitting children.
Here is the charming Sean Connery justifying when itâs permissible to hit a women. All the same platitudes. Only use an open hand. Only as a last resort. Only when she wonât shut up. Etc.
There were a lot of Sean Conneryâs around in the seventies. My Grandad was one. Liked to give Grandma a little clip every now and then, just when she stepped out of line. Never out of control or in anger. Until the day he went at her with an iron so hard he nearly killed her and she ended up in hospital.
NOT A FEW FUCKING DECADES AGO IS IT???
For fuckâs SAKE! Itâs 2023!!! Youâre banging on about 50 sodding years ago. And you even posted a video that proved you wrong. #achievement
Ghandi hit his wife apparently
Well, youâve already decided what you think so there doesnât seem much point really.

What does it matter? Iâm say a few decade and you are saying fifty years. Is that the level of semantics weâre going for.
The point is that people would use the same arguments to justify hitting their spouses and people use today to justify hitting the kids. Thatâs just fucking true, as much as you donât want it to be.
Go back centuries and youâve got Slave owner trying to justify hitting their slave by claiming itâs only when they step our of line, and for their own good really.

A critical reappraisal of Ghandi is overdue. He was no saint.
Could be true, remember hearing mother Theresa was a bit of a cow
Christ, donât start on Mother Theresa or youâll have me and @klopptomist finding common ground!
Was she from Warrington?
A few = 5 seemingly. âDad, can I have a few pounds please?â never in the history of mankind (HA) equated to ÂŁ5
Being a parent is a bit like driving. Everyone thinks they are great and itâs everyone else thatâs the problem.
But here you are, on a public forum, proudly admitting and evangelising the righteousness of hitting a child, in defiance of the mountain of evidence thatâs itâs harmful in a variety of ways, as well as being totally ineffective.

The ghoul of Calcutta? Think Hitch knew he was going way off the board there. Can you tell I respect him?
