I remain unconvinced by these arguments, and will continue to piss standing up, and posting while doing so.

In fact, I think being able to piss accurately while standing up is perhaps the greatest thing about having a penis. Makes it easier to post, also just a chance for a little rest. Why would you stand up?

Okay so in relation to child smacking there is a weird other side to it. Now obviously I'm not in favour of smacking children to discipline them. Since at the end of the day it's just a stronger person (adult) using violence on a weaker one (child) which is just awful. HOWEVER....as many parents (and I know there are some in this thread) can attest there is this really weird biological imperative to perform aggression on children. Now I know having said this most of you will be reaching for the  or  emojis, but hear me out.Parents or grand parents or uncles/aunts around kids are very often struck by these weird desires to do physical sorts of play with kids which if done between two adults would be like the beginings of a fight. I'm talking about stuff like the urge to pick up children and hold them above your head, tickling, pretending to "eat" children, pincing cheeks, rubbing them on the head. These are all playful, normal developmental behavior between parents/Guardians and their children. But it seems to be rooted in some almost animal level of logic of "use violence to establish I am more dominant than you." (Sort of like how dogs when playing will try and put their teeth around another dogs neck. And how babies will often start laughing when they see a dog showing teeth. It's a fear response.) Again I'm not saying that we should trash children with belts or anything. But that from a biological point of view, we probably do want to be aggressive around kids. And it's generations of civilization that is making us hold ourselves back from doing it.

^^^ I think he's saying it's a natural urge to teach young how to play fight, like dogs or lions. Which would make sense if we lived in a field and hunted raw meat and fought each other bare fisted for territory, which we don't. Anyway, our parents used to hit us, and then my mam trained as a playgroup leader and learned in great detail why you shouldn't, so they stopped when I was in my early teens. Which means I have the unconscious urge to hit things when they frustrate me from early childhood and impotent rage at having to not hit things from being a teen. Worst of both worlds! Unfortunately there were no books/ courses about teaching your child that love is unconditional. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Apr 21, 2022 |

I'd argue that as a society we've been trained to love violence and retribution while also have a massive deference to those who dish it out to us, so the only outlet is those weaker than us. Nae biological imperative,just power.

The Question IRL posted:Okay so in relation to child smacking there is a weird other side to it. I would say personally that I hated having those things done to me as a child and thus, as an adult, I would not feel the impulse to do them to children because I would expect the child to also hate it, and it seems like a very weird idea and I don't at all buy that it is "biological" to want to do that. To be perfectly honest I think you should observe as much as possible, the same degree of personal boundaries with your child that you would with any other human, not least because this is behaviour they should learn and demonstrate with others.

I was smacked by my dad when I did something particularly ‘naughty’. I don’t really bear him any ill will over it, and he’s very much of a different generation- he was a prefect and caned younger boys at school for example. Last time I can remember it happening was when I was seven and had amused myself while doing homework by stabbing my pencil multiple times quite deeply into the surface of the kitchen table. He smacked me six times, I cried and sure as poo poo didn’t do it again. My mum however once the menopause struck would go loving mental and attack me. I can remember walking down the Appian Way in Rome aged fifteen with her screaming, slapping and kicking me because she thought I was hunching over to spite her (?)- I have curvature of the spine which was /much/ worse when I was a teen. That I /do/ still bear a lot of anger over. Tbh her psycho-fits only stopped when I ended up grabbing her and physically throwing her (literally) out of my room when I was about 17. So yeah, there’s a difference between discipline and abuse but frankly I don’t trust most people to know where that line is at the best of times so better just to avoid totally.

Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. We have never seen a totally sane human being.Jedit posted:Social Norman

There really isn't anything that you cannot teach people by means other than violence, so the use of violence as a method of instruction is entirely for the gratification of the person doing it.

The notion that there's nothing about our behaviour rooted in biology seems like a very hubristic and anthropocentric attitude. I don't have kids so I can't say whether I'd feel any violent impulse with my children, but I can say that as a human being I regularly feel involuntary impulses of varying intensities which I overcome through conscious thought. I don't see that the difference between us and other animals is that they display biological behaviours and we don't, it's that we have greater capacity to overcome biological behaviours through social conditioning and conscious discipline.
