Arguing About Spanking

I've been having a pretty intense argument over spanking with Angie at Angie the Anti-Theist. She's an extremely passionate spanking opponent, whereas I think mild spanking is harmless. Since I've already written enough for a long post, I thought I'd just link the comment thread if anyone is interested.

  1. Wow. Poor Angie is so scarred from her own experiences that she's blind to common sense on this issue. I wouldn't have argued with her about it at all. You were exactly right to compare her stance to that of a religious person. You made some great points there that I think you should edit into a post for your blog.

  2. Well, I've found her to be pretty reasonable in general even when we disagree. Some of the things in her post just irritated me enough that I wanted to comment.

    "You were exactly right to compare her stance to that of a religious person."

    She got annoyed at that, but I don't see how you can go through the kind of experience she had and retain much objectivity on that particular subject.

    "You made some great points there that I think you should edit into a post for your blog."

    Thanks. I was thinking about doing that, since I had written so much. But I got lazy and just linked the thread.
