It's that sort of permissive parenting that created this disrespectful society we live in. :suss: Martin Marvinski wrote: This to me is clearly child abuse and a human rights violation. Those are fairly vague terms Martin. Is everything that causes pain abuse? What exactly *are* the rights of a human? Certainly the rights of a child are not the same as the rights of an adult. So which is worse - causing a child momentary pain at a time when it is too young to retain a memory of it, or methodically exposing a child throughout upbringing to propaganda that will warp perception and stunt ability to learn/trust/interact with others for a lifetime? As i said, at this point i find it difficult to take this discussion seriously, as for me it is entirely academic. For a parent to take this attitude however is somewhat frightening. I see it as a symptom of a deeper problem however; if a parent can be cavalier about surgery on their child, what will be their attitude towards their child's education?
