Neocodex is what convinced me non-sexual spanking was wrong. Thank you @Sweeney and @Nymh

Of course. Happy to discuss with anyone who is open to it.

I dunno, I was spanked and turned out just fine! There's a way to do it that won't cause psychological damage. My dad was pretty good at letting me know why I was getting spanked and gave me lots of love after as well as what to do in the future to not get spanked again for the same thing! I will always be a proponent of spanking and yes I have read the research since it is a huge topic in psychology and I am a psychology major. We had a chapter about it in all of my child, infant, and adolescent psychology classes. Nothing is going to change my mind. My dad never abused me.

Many people mistake the words "functional" and "fine."

Also, my dad never touched me with his bare hands. He used a belt. I know, to you, that probably doesn't make things better since we will never agree.  But he never physically touched me. It's even in the bible (for anyone who reads it lol, because I am not religious anymore) spare the rod, spoil the child. I think removing spanking from ways of punishing children has ruined the children of today! This is why children don't listen and think they can disrespect adults. In my young days, we didn't have all these problems with children acting out the way they do now. We would never think about standing up to our teacher and raising a hand to them. Children think they have more power over adults with all these laws and ways of dealing with children. It isn't working which is why our world is going to hell. All I know is, I always thought twice before doing something I knew was bad. It definitely taught me to behave and do the right things and not the wrong.

For reals, you think the only way to instil respect and manners is through inflicting pain?

Psychology is science. :| I have a bachelors of SCIENCE in psychology.

 

Yes I agree, psychology is science. I never said it wasn't. I didn't take psychology to be a scientist. I don't want to do research. I don't want to do counseling. I want to work with prisoners. Or those people who murder others. I needed psychology to get into this field. I claim Criminal Justice as my main major as I am a double major. I only needed psychology to learn about all the mental diseases and to learn how to read people. All of my research projects that I had to do for psychology were all on prisoners or murderers. But, as I want to work directly with crime scenes as far as analyzing them, I would consider myself an analyst or investigator, not  scientist!

This. I wish I could rep it more than once.

We may need to take this to a new thread

I thought forensic psychology died when people realised it wasn't reliable.

Don't worry, I got you.

My mom would hit me with hands, or buy things just for that. I'd get hit more for trying to avoid that punishment. She'd even laugh and show off her 'equipment' like it was some sort of game. And yeah, being autistic too didn't really help in that department. 
 
But you know, it was TOTALLY OKAY AND TAUGHT ME A LESSON RIGHT?

Her hands? Or other people's?

[Jozie]

The bible is not a good source of proper punishment.

 

By that standard if you had premarital sex we can stone you for it.

Bahaha reading the bible should be a form of punishment!

 

Children aren't any worse than they were 25-50 years ago. Children are just more visible. There's so much wrong with this entire justification for spanking. The world isn't going to hell. Things are better in large for a lot of people than they were before.

My dad hit me with a belt until I was black and blue for being autistic and stimming. I didn't turn out okay. But yeah, spanking is totally fine. smh.

 

I disagree with the first part but again, agree to disagree  

 

And that is abuse. I am really sorry he did that to you! You are an amazing girl, super smart, and beautiful!

I said the same effing thing you said before you even said it and I said it better .. yet you get a +rep and I didn't.

 

I sense a dramatic exit in my near future.

That type of spanking would legally be considered child abuse in Missouri.

Forensic psychology focuses on juries now. What you are referring to is the chemistry side of forensic psychology.

 

Lie detection is no longer admissible in court. Eye witnesses can be thrown out because it has been proven to be more false than true when it comes to people recalling what they seen. 

 

I am not going into forensic psychology either. I am the person that will collect what I can at crime scenes, analyze the crime scenes and come up with scenarios for what happened. And as far as working with prisoners, I want to work with them on their mental health and use that to reform prison punishments such as solitary confinement.

But you're cool with physical abuse of children who cannot defend themselves? Yikes.

Don't tell me what I am referring to I am aware of those facts.

You were talking about using your background in psychology to analyse crime scenes and criminals. That sounds like what a forensic psychologist does (or did ). I would have expected an actual CSI hopeful to have a background in a more rigorous science - maybe biochemistry. Sorry for not realising what you were talking about from your murky and misleading description.

That's happened to me on a few threads in the past. Unfortunately if you don't have the majority opinion on a topic, you're probably going to get dozens of replies against you because everyone wants to give their two cents and there aren't many people arguing your side. Just the nature of a discussion forum really.
