Hey: Is it alright for parents to use physical punishment? Are there other forms that you might disagree with more?

Well I was spanked as a kid so I don't think it was such a bad thing. But in my opinion there are better ways to discipline.

My side to it is that there is a point to which it is okay, but there are demeaning things parents do all the time that can permanently harm the child.
Never, never, never pour a glass of water on a child while cussing at them to clean themselves up and then make them clean it up and have them find you got their school computer wet.

Or take food away.

True.

Well I think there could be times where the punishment fits the crime.

This is also true. However, no "crime" deserves the punishment of leaving mental/emotional/physical scars/bruises.

Well the problem is that any discipline can result in psychological harm. All it takes is imperfection. Though, with forethought and good judgement, along with care, most can be avoided.

( I love the fact that we are being courteous and having a good conversation)

But of course. Tips non-existent hat

Okay, so kinda related to the last debate: do you think most modern parents are too lenient with their children because of the punishments they endured at children?

It's possible.

I found some more unpopular opinions that aren’t mine, this time they’re from people I know/people I’ve seen on YouTube:

Political, social justice, and pro-LGBT+ messages shouldn’t be forced into children’s clothing designs, why should they be a walking billboard for things they don’t understand?

There are only two genders _{(Note from this person: trans/non-binary/genderfluid/etc are definitely valid and should be treated as such, but they don’t count as their own individual “genders”)}

Little girls shouldn’t be wearing bikinis

Instead of making UNI free, we should make it harder to access for all and instead have employers not set such high F-ing standards for jobs that are barely above minimum wage, most of these degrees don’t mean S—- anyway.

Lower life expectancy in the US has nothing to do with lack of universal healthcare

And now one of mine:

Soda tastes better flat.

There are only two genders (Note from this person: trans/non-binary/genderfluid/etc are definitely valid and should be treated as such, but they don’t count as their own individual “genders”)

Technically, biologically speaking, there are only two genders. Note that most other genders are variants of these two genders.

Little girls shouldn’t be wearing bikinis

No they should not.

Soda is better flat for some flavors. Not all.

how dare you. i can’t believe this. flat soda is the worst

It's better than the feeling of your tongue disintegrating into thin air

Soda and pop rocks makes me feel high.

It's better than the feeling of your tongue disintegrating into thin air

mmmmm love that feeling

Unpopular opinion: being gay is not, and never was, a sin. There are very few parts in the bible that talk about homosexuality. And when it is talked about, it's usually been mistranslated/misinterpreted. For instance, the whole thing on sodomy and how sodomites are sinners isn't about homosexuality being a sin. It means that gay rape is a sin (this was determined by looking at the story where the word sodomite originated, which was a story about men wanting to rape male angels)

Um, I'm not getting into this because I don't know much about that story, but my pastor would be willing to have a civilized and polite discussion about it.

I can send you a few things about it if you want? I can send the original story and the things I read that talk about what sodomy might mean

I honestly would like that.
I don't know much about the subject of gay being a sin. I've never really asked those questions.

I'm still learning about it, and it's honestly a really complicated thing because the bible is so old.

It might take me a bit to find them though

Very true. Still, do you think that the Bible is relevant to nowadays? I do.
