I thought it was a Stefan Molyneux post for a moment. Someone hurt Sam. If only it were possible to narrow it down to one or two people.

or he is just right
Sam has no children and has no clue or business talking about it. Perhaps someone beat the fuck out of him for no reason (it happens) but spanking is just another language to get a point accross.
Anyone who has had young children knows it is nearly impossible to 'reason' with them at times, and restraint does not fix the problem, and that's not what the Bible says to do anyway.
Proverbs 23:12
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
Proverbs 23:13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Proverbs 23:14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

I'm not commenting on the religious angle tyler old bean
I don't agree with the take that someone without children isn't allowed to speak on it because as you well know a lot of people have children even though they have no business having children, and vice versa.
And I think many many people are totally unable to apply a just hand and therefore most all corporal punishment is just dished out by frustrated adults that also never learned to control their anger and they just lash out. Whether or not telling those kinds of people to not hit their child would actually improve anything is questionable though, genetics and all that.

My response was based on what Sam said, which is extremely reactionary in his projection of how he views the topic, and his lack of understanding the difference between correction and abuse, going so far as to, in the first sentence, comparing it to those terrible things.
I don't need to say anything more, as it doesn't matter. A tale as old as time is the man speaking confidently about what he has no experience in, and harming everyone else around him because of it.

One last thing about 'religious angle' - it's contemptuous. God's word is not just a 'neato topic for intellectual debate and study' but actual instruction to be listened to and obeyed, put into practice and have an effect on the world.
This disconnect has well ruined my country.

I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, it's just I do not believe in God at all, wasn't sure if you were aware of this, and I didn't want to open that can of worms. It wouldn't be right for me to speak on Christian matters.

Just the same for it to not be right for someone who is not a father to speak on fatherhood.
