I worry for my son, and I wonder would it be better bringing him up in another country?
You appear to be changing the subject matter. :chin:
My initial question was to your hypothesis that smacked children don`t grow up to be violent. I speculated that they tend to agree to delegate that "violence" to others.
e.g. If you don`t want people smoking in your local, the likelihood is that you don`t go round there and threaten any smokers by yourself. Or even with a group of mates. In order to get your way, you get your "elected authority" to do that for you. Sanitised violence. No need to get YOUR hands dirty ( or bloodied).
(This example could be replaced by an infinite number of others).
I think it`s the same world as you. Just viewed differently.
I didn`t say it was.
Which "people in question" ?
No thanks, going round in a circle may be seen ( by some) as detrimental to my well being. I may then be susceptible to a smack by someone who thinks they know what`s best for me.
I don`t consider either as an acceptable option .
I don't condemn my mum for this, I do remember occasions when I was a right little bastard at home. The occasional smack is fine in the long run, but it's not something that should be used regularly. Otherwise, we start getting into much darker territory.
