If I were you, I wouldnt burden myself with proof. Its not up to science to prove that spanking doesnt work. It is up to spankers to prove that spanking does work. Billions of children were spanked. The fact that spankers cant find one example of spanking actually benefiting the child is enough to make their entire case invalid.
If science were to show spanking does not fix the problems it purports to be able to solve—if spanking causes more harm than good, I would then consider it an act which may need to be considered child abuse. Every child is different, but we must look to safeguard the maximum number of children as we possibly can to enable them to grow up as mentally sound as realistically achievable.
spanking kids with un-directional money is much bigger violence
Define "unacceptable"

Are you saying spanking is not sadistic? Lets see the definitions.
Sadism is basically when someone gains sexual pleasure from pain or humiliation of others.
Americans enjoy humiliating their children so much that they even spank them in public, and in online videos and in front of other children and in schools.
Americans obviously gain pleasure from childs pain.
But is the pleasure sexual? I would say it probably is. It is derived from violence, and it has been proven that violence and sadism are linked.
Do you gain pleasure from causing pain to your children?
Like most of the uneducated americans, you dont want to improve yourself. You want to prove that others are as bad as you. Also, most of americans when searching for porn, search for incest daughter porn or hentai. I am not saying you do this, I didnt look at your browsing history. But here you are, trying to justify these things. One must wonder...whats in it for you?
You are the one with debates about letting children watch porn, if I were you I'd back away suggesting things that anyone can see is false about me, you already look like a prick.
The fact you make it sexual says more about you than anyone doing it.
Who said I think it's okay lol.
I just noticed a ridiculous attack when Asians spank their children harder and far more often than Americans do.
Why don't you debate it then if you think its ok because of culture?

Are you honestly trying to justify american sadism towards children by using asian sadism towards children? There doesnt seem to be any logic there. Since you are trying to justify it, I wonder if you engage in such sadism yourself. Are you one of those americans who have daughter kink?
Spanking has been most integral to Asian cultures. Nice try at a jibe, moron.
Well, we will see why someone may think its acceptable when someone accepts the debate i suppose!
I dont understand why would someone want to spank a child. Is the person turned on by it? Is it one of those american incest fetishes? America is a weird country.
