It is good your dad didn't break your bones, but this seems like a strange standard.
Quote: Children can't be reasoned with most of the time, so it all comes down on actually letting them know that something is bad by administrating some pain from time to time, so that they don't fuck up as I did, and even if they did, they actually know that they did fuck up and apologize, and avoid that kind of behavior in the future.
I'm glad you thought it was good for you, but generally, what do you think it teaches children when those in power lash out angrily at them, even when they have screwed up? What does this do to teach them impulse control or emotional intelligence? My father was beaten as a child (at home and by nuns at school), and he is still so angry and hurt about it that he can't even talk about it without anger and pain after all these years (he's 70 now). And man, does he hate nuns.
