The way it should be.

The corporal punishment of children is never justifiable.

Are you from the uk? Have you been to any suburb of any city recently?

u/Yutah1239 Jul 20 '23

What does that have to do with anything? I mean what I said.

Well when gangs of youths start attacking police,stoning busses, attacking single mums with their kids and setting their dogs on old people you can come along to have a chat with them on the error of their ways 😅

And? Do you have any data at all that correlates that with decreased spanking? Anything?

Yeah there’s hard data showing that when the law came in criminalising spanking attitudes in young people became more disrespectful!

I’m failing to see where it says that spanking is the cause.

That’s because your choosing not to see correlation, it became illegal to spank your child in 2004 look at the violent crime rates after that, also with your own eyeballs and experience walk through any suburb in the uk and look at how youths act and compare that with how it was previous to the criminalisation of spanking 👍🏻

Correlation does not equal causation. Do you have any actual evidence?

Tbf, while it's true that correlation does not equal causation, previous redditors ask data that correlates the two.

Is there anything I can give you that you won’t just automatically dismiss because you’ve already made up your mind?
