Close.
"There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise." Proverbs 26:12.
I remember you arguing that you are wise (becuase of your age).
Who's the fool now?

<quoted text>Just because someone has a child doesn't make them a real parent. Anyone can have a kid. That is NOT the same as being a real parent though. I think this is what you meant but just needed to be clear on the fine points. There are good loving "parents" and deadbeat abusive "parents".

Did I make a comparison between spanking and beating? No. But I did point out that spanking is physical violence. Like I said, teach your kid that hitting is OK, and they are going to do it themselves. Spanking is a just a sign of a lack of parental skills IMHO. Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

You can easily prove me wrong. Simply cite some objective evidence that the specific deity you believe in exists. For extra points, you can also cite more objective evidence that the Bible is the inspired word of this deity.

A swat hurts, and is meant to inflict pain with physical force, that is what violence means. How is spanking discipline? Causing children to fear their parents is not discipline, RR.

At least you put effort into this, I cannot discount your entire explanation however there is something you are missing. The human brain, like all animals, is something that changes very little between generations, in other words, when you know how the brain itself works you can pretty much apply it to the next generations. Psychology is not like psychiatry, psychologists do not base their information on stereotypes and presumptions, they utilize a lot of other scientific fields, one they are fond of is neurology.
Neurology pretty much understands how the brain works, so well it can even pin point specific emotions and types of notions and predict how they will be reflected in tests. Basically, child psychology has been studying how the brain develops for so long, the amount of information used in that field can pretty much predict the responses of children to specific stimuli with little error.
So even if they do change through their lives, they will follow a specific pattern of development, it's part of the wiring.

So what you're saying is that you cannot prove Leprechauns don't exist?
Why is that?
Oh right - because one cannot prove a negative.
If someone is claiming something exists, then that someone should be able to prove it.
So, back to the topic of this discussion:
Prove there's a god.

I agree with that last sentence, but I don't see a spanking as abuse or physical violence.
A smack on the butt or back of the hand isn't violence, IMO.

All the knowledge of psychology in the world will not prepare you for actually being a parent. The closest thing to it is being a caretaker for animals, but this is not a good comparison either.
Because of dealing with others about the child in school and etc.
I raised 5 of them so I think I'm qualified to say so.
It's true knowing child psychology could possibly help but
it wont help you teach your child how to wipe or how to deal with the neighbors kids parents because your kid beat the other kid up or vice versa. It's really a you had to have been there to know kinda thing. It's like the biggest responsibility you could ever take and then some, and one you can't escape. At least without becoming a bad parent.
