Ridiculous that someone gets indicted for spanking their kids.
So what Peterson was indicted for was using a switch on his kid. Yay government getting involved with parents raising their kids. If the child's life isn't in danger (aka starvation)
Agreed. I was hit with much worse as a kid.
They showed the pics here in Minnesota on the news. Noticeable bruises and scars. Kid is four years old.
And Peterson said he got it worse as a kid. I guess that discipline really helped him as a man, seeing he's fathered three children from three different women.
Correlation and causality are not the same thing.
Precisely. Just like claiming that harsh discipline on kids helps them build character.

So beating your kids and wife/GF is apparently ok now?

George Carlin hit the nail on the head when he spoke about the pussification of America.
Since when did spanking = beating?
It's psychotic to hit your kids with sticks. If you can't get the point across in a better way, you're a terrible parent.
Uhh, did you see the pics of his kid?
If thats not beating, then what is?
And no, i'm not posting those pics, absolutely sickening.
Yes I have. But do we know that these marks are from Peterson?
May be he did take his disciplining too far. Or may be these pictures aren't reflective of what AP actually did to him. But certainly not going to label him as a child abuser based off some pictures on the Internet.
