| | | Improper Salad Preparation: Grounds for Beeting?
Do you believe that if a child, when preparing salad for the family dinner, makes an unpardonable error such as:
> cutting too much off of the radishes while removing stems
> improperly washing the lettuce
> scraping skin off of the carrots to energetically
..that the parent is justified in beating the child to punish it?
How many have first hand experience in this (either as beater or beatee)?

| | Hmm, well do you mean direct beatings as a result of poor peeling? Well, food is quite important to me, to find my roast potatoes stripped down to miniscule amounts would perturb me slightly, but a beating? Hmm... 
A more serious question, is beating correct?

| | | No, there is no justification for ever beating a child, period.

This IS a serious topic you well-hung philanthropic potentate, if you're going to spam, at least use daring usages of wit like replacing the "a" in the word "beating" in the title to an "e".
Your position is that you have no experience with this, I assume. Fine. That makes the poll:
Beaten/Beatee: FDL
Non Beaten/Beatee: Nippy
EDIT: dw, nippy and others: This thread is NOT about the morality of child-beating, that has been discussed ad nauseum. This is about abuse resulting from miniscule things like chores being done improperly, etc.

| | | I don't think it's ever justifiable. Having been on the receiving end, I don't think there's any excuse.
To expound on that point, its amazing to hear the excuses or reasons that are given. The most trivial matters take on some monumental proportion.

Egads man, who would have thought that one so brain-addled as you could figure out a compliment whilst working in an insult. It amazes me...
I personally agree with DW, my POV is that it doesn't matter what a child does, it still is a child, it doesn't know the difference so for not peeling correctly or breaking a family heirloom, it matters not.

| | | Absolutely no beatings!
Beating a child for such a minor mistake will scar him/her emotionally for life.
I have read somewhere that Hitler had a s***ty childhood; history has shown how he had turned out to be. *shudders* |

| | | When I read "Improper Salad Preparation: Grounds for Beating?" I thought you were joking. I don't think that anyone in his right mind would do something that. But then again I can't say I've got lots of experience..

You shrewd pancreatic gesticulator! I'll spam my own thread as much as I like, and you'll take it and like it, or you're next on the scaffold!  I'm ok, not ready for it to be Monday, I'm in no mood to concentrate on work, just want to go home and read something. How about you?
