No. I would contend there's a distinction.

Corporal punishment as discipline for children is more engrained in our culture than this type of anger and disrespect for women.

Like I said, both are wrong so I think it's a moot point anyway.

son(s)

Based off the information that we have, Rice's situation was worse. If there

I go with AP. A 4 year old is more defenseless than a grown woman IMO

billyrust

9/15/14 9:45pm

On the other hand, people die from blows to the head...

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:50pm

And AP's own son died from physical abuse...

billyrust

9/15/14 9:52pm

Guessing it wasn't from a switch to the butt...just a hunch.

Here's the difference in my mind.

Duke Silver

Just to make things clear, AP had nothing to do with his sons death.

So it goes...

9/15/14 10:21pm

I know. And Ray Rice didn't kill his wife/fiance either

Where is garyfan?

Adrian Peterson was wrong. He needs to change how he disciplines his kids

titlecoug

9/15/14 9:46pm

Could you not say he (Rice) was "raised" that way as well?

billyrust

9/15/14 9:47pm

You think he was expressly taught that it was appropriate to knock a woman out?

YSMACK

9/15/14 9:49pm

Taught by example, maybe...

billyrust

9/15/14 9:51pm

Then that by itself is something of a distinction.

"Misguided" is quite the value statement

cougarblue

9/15/14 9:50pm

Is someone slices their kid's privates in his punishment it's misguided.

ah, the beauty of relativism...everything has a line, like it or not.

Really hard for me to make a judgment on Peterson

hansel

If we believe Peterson, he was "just disciplining."

garyfan

9/15/14 9:58pm

Not even the DA is accusing him of more than over-the-top discipline, right?

Anyone who bruises their kid and breaks the skin is not disciplining. They are

my dad beat me with a belt till my butt bled. did I ever tell my mom to shutup

It doesn't matter if your behavior changed. What your dad did

CDV

9/16/14 8:02am

Society never accepted whipping with a belt until it bled.

garyfan

9/16/14 8:36am

I agree. I am just arguing that even if it did, that still doesn't make it

CDV

9/16/14 9:11am

Agreed.

garyfan

9/16/14 10:12am

I totally agree.

YSMACK

9/15/14 10:01pm

This is why I think AP's is worse

Remigius

9/15/14 10:06pm

Please tell me where people have said they are ok with that. There is...

BengalCougar

9/15/14 10:09pm

That is what hansel said

Remigius

9/15/14 10:12pm

No it isn't, he said it was a different situation to him. And he also said...

BengalCougar

So where's that line? Is it child abuse for a mother to spank

It wasn't just on the legs and waist, there are reports that the child's scrotum

CDV

Doesn't matter. Both are wrong and have no place in society.

CrackerJack

This is the correct answer. And why this poll is flawed.
