Spanking a cure for mental illness
Some of my relatives thought I was a brat and needed a good whupping.But they didn't get what a meltdown was.Since I was verbal as a child,I went undiagnosed till adulthood, so they assumed I was acting out.A spanking wouldn't have cured anything.I wonder how many of us older ones got a beat down in childhood becuse unknowing people just though we were having a spoiled brat temper tantrum.
We'd have to agree on what constitutes spankings and mental illness before having any kind of meaningful dialogue on this, and that'll never happen. Some peoole consider the mildest spanking or a smack to be a "beating" and owning a "gas guzzler" to be a mental illness.
Give people some credit. Not all are mindless shills awaiting any suggestion to do something stupid. They are out there but are not a majority.
You really really shouldn't temp Skippy like that.
He'd advocate beating the mentally ill half to death with a sjambok just to drive some of our more more emotionally charged brethren up a wall.
Some say he's a +r011!
PS: Tell Marshall that I voted for Trump. I'd love to do it myself but it might be considered "provocative" and not in good keeping with civil discourse so I won't.

/\ I'm talking about a diagnosed mental illness being cured by a spanking.Doesn't matter if it's a light tap on the ass or a belt.It's not a medication so has no benefits.For kids with sensory issues it would just trigger more meltdowns.
As for spanking,I guess you forgot that I did spank my kids.It depends on the kids,some kids will do timeout in a corner,or extra chores.This isn't about a kid being an obnoxious brat,but one with a real illness.Do you think you can just spank the schizophrenia out of a child?
No I won't give dumb people credit.During the ice storm here the hospitals were filled with people who thought it was a good idea to run a gas generator in the living room.Maybe you underestimate the stupidity of the masses,but I don't.I am surprised at you Skippy.It's what caused the nanny state that you abhor.People that don't have sense enough to not text and drive,leave a dog or child in a hot car,drive drunk,people that watch Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Now lil' Skippy,I know you don't want to really beat us.You would rather we attend one of those special "health" camps.

I just hope that parents and therapists don't listen to this evil SOB.
I wonder why no Trumpateers have posted defending Bannon on this?Maybe buyer's remorse?
You know it's possible to like a president but not agree with everything he does right?
Sure,I certainly didn't like some things Obomber did.But this should really worry people with special needs kids.What if funding for their health care is taken away becuse an idiot thinks spanking cures a valid mental illness?
You should worry,becuse if Bannon believes this load of crap he may decide to cut the mentally ill or special needs off disability.Would you still like him then?Do you think a spanking would have cured you of Autism??
Anyway,he's filling his cabinet with career politicians and the ultra wealthy.So you won't be getting any change,they will behave like typical politicians,lie and put themselves first.
I know you wanted change,don't blame you.So did I,Bernie.

My brothers and I got those beat downs, even if I wasn't the one who triggered mom's hairpin trigger of a temper. If none of us brothers owned up to the incident, all of us got our asses beat to a bloody pulp. Once dad got home, we got our bloody beat to a pulp asses beat again to worse than a bloody pulp with his leather work belt that had a large, solid brass buckle attached to it. With incidents like that, it was extremely painful to sit for the next 9 months (and we were not allowed to sit on a pillow to ease the pain.)

Wrong.
Try living in South Central PA, among the "Plain Folk" (old order Amish and Mennonite). You think I'm a concrete thinker? Deal with those two groups that originally hail from the Palatinate.

Forgive me for being anal, but those particular Mennonites had originally hailed from Switzerland, but had fled to the Palatine to escape religious persecution. Most of the original Palatine Germans were Lutherans and Calvinists.

That's awful,sorry you had to go through that.My folks were gentle with me but did swat me with a fly swatter when I was acting out in a brat like fashion.I was more grossed out by the fact it had smushed flies on it than the sting of the swat.Only once did I get hit with a belt,another relative did it and it was not helpful at all.I don't even remember what I did wrong,but I sure hated them after that.
I spanked mine with an open hand on bare bottom,when they got older I did switch them on the legs a few times.A small peach tree switch.They were both being REALLY naughty.It was only used as a last resort.When they got bigger it was more effective to take away phone privledges and ground them.

Corporal punishment for children who knowingly do something wrong is something that can be debated. Physical punishment for crying, emotional distress, or meltdowns is child abuse. It is something that CAUSES mental illness. I'd say it's right up there with raping children. Bastards deserve a curb stomp.

One time My old man gave it to me and my brother across the backs of our bare legs with a length of air compressor hose (the infamous rubber hose treatment. F-ck, that hurt!

I know you wanted change,don't blame you.So did I,Bernie.
So are you guilty for all the. Ad things obama or his lackies did?
Or am I responsible for things trump or his lackies do.
I am worried but nothing I can do, still way better off then with Hilary or Bernie would been.
Were get a pro constitution judge on the court, perhaps universal concealed carry just like driver licenses, remove of the NFA or at least removal of silencers and Sbrs from it.
The bill of rights will be saved for another 10-20 years. Protected from the democrats plans to gut our freedoms.
Trump is probably securing republican support. They control the congress, unless he wants to be like obama and not get anything done then he'll need republican support. Plus democrats refuse to help him, so why would he select s democrat?
It was to be expected, he wasn't going just a point random non politicians, the people for those jobs have to have security clearances and experience. He could t appoint his friends or family that's illegal and they'd not have the clearances anyways.
So given he's limited to politicians and democrats refuse to aid Him, is it any suprise he picks republicans
I dont know who bannaon is, nor do Igf, I probably wouldn't like him. I also don't know 99% of obama as staff besides the doj. They'll do what trump says, so until he comes in office we don't know, so everyone should calm down, when he gets in office and if he starts doj f horrible s**t then we'll talk. Until then I not gong listen to liberals lies and propaganda. They just can't accept they lost. It's pitiful

I think Bannon is equating mental illness with bad behaviour. This is an easy mistake to make because the behaviour of the mentally ill is often bad; but the answer is not hitting them. Hitting may or may not be effective with NT children; I don't know, I don't have kids. But hitting a kid who is acting out because they are suffering from mental illness is like hitting a kid who has diabetes. It is not helpful.
To me Bannon's statement is an indication of a poor understanding of the treatment of mental illness.

Brannon is Trumps advisor and strategist.
I didn't say you were guilty of anything,you voted your conscience.I voted mine.Of course neither of us are responsible for what a politician does,but we should speak out if we think something is wrong.
I accept we lost,can't speak for others.
The man did say this,so it's not propaganda or a lie.

Well I guess that's proof that spanking doesn't work.You're still naughty.

Also don't forget this is the same person who said back in the year 2000 that all the money in schools was being wasted to special education students and they were a burden on the system and using up lot of their money for them for being in mainstream. I don't remember his exact words. But I was pissed. How dare anyone say I am a waste to my school's money and a burden and I don't deserve the help I got in school because I am a waste.
But yeah what if he wanted to cut out funds for kids with disabilities in the education system and just have the schools abandon them?

Okay, I consider this bullsh*t of Bannon's to be an attack on my daughter, and all the other American kids who get special education. If it comes to society breaking down under Trump like all the Chicken Littles feared, I say we all take turns holding Bannon's arms behind his back, and booting him repeatedly in the ball sack.

The man did say this,so it's not propaganda or a lie.
If or when he tries to do something, not says something or said something years ago, but actually tries to do something that's bad. I'll speak out here.
Every time I freaked out or spoke out about obama was cause he was trying to or doing stuff. People are freaking out and trump still has 2 months before he's in office. We have no freaking idea what he'll do. He may very well do nothing and just keep doing the same that's been done for the last 30 years.
The democrat party and its media lackies won't accept it, I suspect the riots and twisting of every word trump or any of his lackies said will go on for the the next 4 years constantly. Makes me sick.
The left has a habit of taking stuff out of context and then implying a new context. So forgive me but I don't believe anything the left media says.
