Tell me exactly where I said it teaches them anything. You were the one who said it teaches them something.

Teaches him one thing. Violence is an answer and when you are bigger than someone beating them up is how you get your way.

It may do that. It may not. It ain't fact, though. I merely stated some occasions which may or may not rebuff your "fact".

Given that some parents spank selectively, does it teach the children that violence is the way to get your own way? Or does it teach them that bigger people are unpredictably violent? Or does it teach them that some misdemeanours are worse than others? Or does it teach them nothing at all? Your call. But whatever you decide, your certainty does not make it a fact. it is a fact that some parents spank selectively -look back up this thread and the previous one for proof.
