corporal punishment

ajtpdj Oh, did I mention it was on TV? Pro-corporal punishment and anti-physical punishment debates.

The affirmative. “If you say it with your mouth, they won’t listen to you, so I’ll make them understand with their bodies.”

If you say something like that… The denialist. “So if we physically punish you now and make you understand that with your body, you’ll switch to the denialist camp?” I remember a story where I said, “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to tell you.
