Hello. I've noticed that some of you advocate spanking adults (that is, 18+) as a punishment. I have a few concerns. For instance, as they are now legally adults (and more likely then not, living separately too), what authority do you hold over them? If they are watching R rated movies, so? They are legally adults now. Their minds are mature enough to see nudity and violence. So, my question is, why do some of you, as parents, think they have the right to discipline them?

Re: Why beat adults?
Our authority comes from Jesus as written in the Holy KJV Bible. If you can find me a scripture that says parents are no longer responsible for their children once they come of age, I'll be happy to agree with you.Originally posted by Newguy View Post
Since you're nothing but a God-mocking troll, I can't imagine why anyone should care what you think. Jesus is all that counts.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

Re: Why beat adults?
So your authority comes from an ancient book that holds little meaning in our day to day lives? Jesus is not all that matters, living your life (your ONLY life) to the fullest is what matters, because buddy, once its gone, you have nothing.
I DO, however, know of a little thing called "battery" and its the legal consequence of beating a legal adult (scripture approved or not) without their consent.Comment

Re: Why beat adults?
No it isn't. It's the definition of a violation of a secular law. The consequence is up to a judge or jury, IF someone files a charge, which no one does in our gated and PRIVATE community, and IF all of the elements of the crime are proven.Originally posted by Newguy View Post

Re: Why beat adults?
The guilty person is "santa" because the kids were just messing around, and he took revenge too far.
Landover does not have a gated and private community.
By the way, the clip was 35 seconds.Comment

Are you so egotistical that you question the word of God?!If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
