Roger Goodell gotta really hoping that hoyer gets hurt in practice today and manziel gets his first start. What a week.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

This is God's revenge for Tebow

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

The media witch hunt continues.

 

[blue32]

Supposedly he disciplined his kid with a switch. Not sure if there is a problem with that, unless he went way overboard. I mean you only need to scare the kids for christs sake

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

My parents and generations before that got this done as a common occurrence.

It's no wonder kids are ungrateful shits nowadays. Anything that happens is considered child abuse. People freak out when parents spank kids. sometimes people need to Get a life and mind their own business.

 

[speeds]

"My parents used to whoop on me and I came out fine!"

-- Someone who is absolutely not fine

I think if the only way you can make your kid not be an ungrateful little shit is by hitting them, then you're doing something wrong.
And if hitting a kid to make him behave is ok, then hitting your wife to keep her in line should be acceptable also right?

Oh please. I don't have kids. But spanking a kid because he is wrong is not a bad thing.

And whipping him with a tree limb causing bruising, welts and lacerations?

The evil legal system is way, way, way overfunded. To spend their money, prosecutors must stretch definitions of everything (like rape) more and more every year. With China eager to loan, our government will have an endless supply of trials, lawsuits, wars, and spies, until the floor falls through on the economy when China tightens up.

Enjoy the overseas torture entertainment now, because the angry world will come for us when we can't afford the military. About 30 years from now. You young punks will pay. I won't. Heh heh.

Ah I remember the days of tree switches. Had to go pick my own,

minor bruising can occur from any type of physical discipline, so can welts. Lacerations however are over the top.

Mom spanked me with a wooden spoon a couple of times. Hurt, but it's not like I was scarred mentally for life, or turned into some crazy lunatic. The shit made you realize at a young age to listen to your moms. Until that is the spoon broke over my wrist! hah!

actually now that I think about it, in being disciplined as a kid, the stuff that I remember more now and must have "scarred" me, was the non spanking stuff. I.e. instead of putting me in the corner, there was a circle on the wall that I had to keep my nose in (and it was about a tippy toe height above where my nose normally would reach) My dad was pretty good at psychological warfare at times. I would taken Spankens 1 out of every 1 time over his innovative stuff.

God I remember the "corner", and the "writing sentences" that shit suuuuuucked.

 

[Minstrel]

A lot of things were common in the past that most of society considers barbaric today. "Tradition" is never a good argument for why a practice, especially a violent one, is fine.

 

[BlazerWookee]

And whipping him with a tree limb causing bruising, welts and lacerations?

Welts? Absolutely ok. Bruising? Maybe just a teensy bit. Lacerations? HELL no.

 

[jlprk]

It used to be, some family professional would come talk to the parent and warn him that he was going too far.

Now, a first offender gets 3 years in prison. The cause is that since Reagan and 1981, the government has given up on giant deficits. (Nixon's Revenue Sharing program had made the Federal government perpetually subsidize the state governments.)

When this board debates things like drug use and family fights, you conveniently leave out how many years of prison time you think is right. Your estimate will be much less than the actual sentences being handed out. (That's why a jury is never told what the consequences of its verdict will be. No one agrees with the horrific sentence lengths.)

LOL writing sentences. repped

 

[Strenuus]

So... when are people going to finally stop watching the NFL and see it for the joke that it is? Or are people going to blindly follow it because they were told to love it?

 

[OneLifeToLive]

And whipping him with a tree limb causing bruising, welts and lacerations?

No. This is over the top.

But a slap on the butt (within reason) doesn't hurt when disciplining

Do you dislike football or something?

My mother was a ninja master with those wooden spoons. She even broke a few on my butt.

But never were there welts or lacerations. Some of you are talking out the asses you claim you were beat on.

"My mother beat me so bad I couldn't walk for 3 months and when she was done I thanked her for it."

Uh huh, sure...

 

[Wheels]

oh man I never had welts. But I did forget to mention my dad had a weightlifting belt for when we really got out of hand. That thing was like a Championship Wrestling belt. We even drew on it to make it look like the WWF Heavyweight belt. (and then it was promptly used on us)

*far away look* Good times, good times...

Wasn't Peterson the one who lost a kid to child abuse? Didn't some dude beat his baby momma's kid to death last year?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Oh please. I don't have kids. But spanking a kid because he is wrong is not a bad thing.

There are plenty of other ways to discipline a child without spanking. Spanking is usually just good for letting the parent vent. In my household spanking did little to prevent future bad behavior.

I do not have a problem with Peterson playing football but he is definitely wrong if the kid was bleeding after punishment.

As someone who was belted by my father and hit with a coat hanger by my mother, I agree with you, not with the asinine legal system's knee-jerk reaction, which is to ruin his life by making him an unemployable felon living under a bridge.

Do some of you want to change your opinion on what Peterson did now that we have pictures?

 

[magnifier661]

I had some welts on my ass from my dad's belt. I definitely deserved it though.

I've spanked my kids and I think there is a time and place for it. I would usually tell my kids to go in their room so I can calm down before I spank them. They thought that was more torture, but it was honestly for their benefit
