BTW, it's an irony that I, personally, grew up in a non-corporal-punishment home; but the harshness of "non-violent" forms of punishment are just as bad and more insidious. I can, quite vividly, remember being put into the corner; and left there for hours. Once they forgot that I was there, and I feel asleep in the corner. I awoke in the early morning hours, and then went to bed. My mother drug me out of my bed at 6:30 am and stood me back in the corner for the audacity of choosing to go to bed without permission. My parents were also anti-gun and anti-military, but when I joined the USMC those drill instructors had nothing on my own parents concerning psychological methods of abuse. I can, again vividly, remember my older sister begging to be spanked for some infraction, like her friends might have endured, because the suffering would end quicker.

A method you continue to use, I might add.
There you go, "mystery" explained, now you know why MoonChildAbuser is a child abuser -- he told you himself why. That kind of shit? Contagious -- from parent to child.
To me, this was no mystery at all. He was abused, he hasn't processed that abuse, he abuses his children, and he rationalizes that abuse using wololololo dogma. Thus, he's "happy" (of course, his children will likely grow up to either hate him or abuse their own children, but what does the abuser care, he just cares that he feels
great after brutalizing his kid). There's literally no mystery here -- this shit goes on everywhere, abusers are a dime a dozen, and they're all cut from the same abuse cloth.
The unexamined life isn't just not worth living -- it's also actively destructive to your children.
Once again, your framing of the disagreement presumes the outcome, by assuming that corporeal punishment is necessarily torture.
Note how ManlyAbuser refers to this conclusion as an "assumption" when it's really not -- it's a simple deduction. What is torture if not pain inflicted to elicit certain behaviors? Obviously corporeal punishment is torture -- if anyone does the exact same thing to an adult, the aggressor is guilty of battery. How battery and torture somehow magically becomes not-battery and not-torture can only be explained through a particularly malevolent form of doublethink.
We get it, MoonBeater needs to feel like he is not a monster. He'll never accept that he is indeed a monster for brutalizing his children. Accepting that one has done wrong can be very, very difficult -- especially when it's one's children that one has wronged -- and that would be far too much effort for such a
fundamentally cowardly person who beats defenseless creatures up, to "deal" with his own abuse issues.
Far too much effort. For such a grown-ass coward.
Scum.
