police have come and reprimanded parents for leaving their children walk unaccompanied around GATED neighbourhoods 20 feet from their house - ridiculous!

I've actually heard stories of parents getting their children taken away by CPS for this very kind of thing.

1.  No one, not even a bodybuilder can do push-ups for 30 straight minutes.  So the article is an exaggeration.

2.  Eating soap isn’t gonna kill anyone, unless you believe it’ll turn you blind like the “Christmas Story” movie.  At worst, it’s a laxative, haha.  

3.  Spanking doesn’t leave marks.  If it does, it’s no longer a spanking but a beating.  I agree with the earlier poster - my Dad had to use the belt on me only like 2x and I got the point.  I never crossed the line again.  Same thing for spankings.  

It used to be common in households up until the 80s to spank, make kids taste soap, and other physical punishments....most of which were handed out by MOMS.

(One lady told me her Father would make his children hold books with outstretched arms for 5 minutes at a time, til their arms were worn out.  They got the hint).

America is now a bunch of pansies.  Why do you think ѕυιcιdє rates are through the roof, there are counselors/police at schools and people are given “mental health” days off?  Because people are mentally weak and give up too easily.  (This is what the elites/joos want...people who won’t/can’t fight back and/or organize to resist tyranny, both spiritual and natural).

THIS ^^^

And ... there's an agenda afoot as well to destroy the authority of parents in general, and fathers in particular, over their children (and of course the authority of husbands over their entire families, including their wives).  Ultimately, since all authority comes from God, it's an attack against the authority of God Himself by the forces of Satan.  And this episode here is yet another minor skirmish in the wider war.

Indeed, a person would reach simple "muscle failure" before any harm would happen to him.

Muscle tears, ligament tears, all sorts of injuries result from trying to get in one more rep past failure. Again, I'd be very interested to know if there was any evidence of this. At least we can all agree that as stated, the punishment is way overboard. Clearly, the man doesn't maintain a similar discipline for his own body.

Physical correction does less and less to curb behavior as kids grow older. It seems that the opposite effect takes hold after a certain age and rebellion sets in. It's my experience that the same people who brag about getting thrown across the room by their father are also usually the same ones who brag about their sins. Maybe they got lucky and it wasn't a regular occurence and maybe their father made sure to pray with them more than he punished them. Somehow, I am getting the impression that this is not the case here.

I appreciate the slippery slope aspect of this, I just wish that in this particular matter we had a less problematic example to go on.
