What do you think? Should spanking be allowed (within reason, no abuse...) as a form of punishment for kids???

RaceDriver, you obviously know nothing as you proved in that post of yours where you were trying to make fun of lefties. And just because people aren't "the same" does not mean that they shouldn't be entitled to equal rights(I'm talking about all people in general, don't start with the evil criminal bullshit it's pathetic).

Cameras should be installed in peoples homes to prevent these acts happening. People who call this an invasion of privacy are supporting child-assualt and should be imprisoned. The government will lay down strict guidlines about how parents will interact with their children, and disobeying these guidelines will meet harsh punishments.

Damn, id make a good leftie-scumbag! Big Grin Shame im too good a human being to be a leftie.


you don't know shit, I'd expect more of someone who's so obsessed with lefties. And I wasn't aware that there was even a "left position" and a "right position" on spanking...Why do you have to be so fucking divisive? We're all human beings, you seem to have forgotten that.

Oh good!
(PS minoritys is not valid. In some white-developed societies, whites are minorities. Non-whites will be majorities in most white societies in due course).

Aren't any lefties going to comment on my immitation?

The first I remember, but I don't recall favoring minorities over whites. I'm for flat-out equality, not extra rights just because a person's non-white.

I was spanked as a kid. And my sisters were too. I thought when I was kid that I would never spank my own kids, but I realized later maybe that's why it was so effective.

Needless to say, I will probably spank my kids, but it won't be excessive or used as a stress reliever. I believe that is where the real problem is.

This system has been around for years, and I detest it's coming under fire for being too harsh. Threat of injury is an almost guaranteed deterrent for bad behavior. Although spanking only involves the rear end, it hurts worse because of all the blood vessels that sting from the slaps.

I should know. I was spanked as a kid. My last time was when I was nine, if I remember correctly.

Now, abuse comes when someone wrongly uses the way of spanking. Instead of hitting the rear, they hit the face, chest, head, or limbs. Broken bones, old bruises, and fractures are commonplace in children who have been abused and never taken to a hospital.
Now, the police are damn good at their job, especially in my city of Sugar Land and in Houston. You need a will of steel and good instincts to make it on the streets. Though, I wish the media would stop whining about the use of police tasers.

Someone died because of a taser. Maybe he had a bad heart, or was on drugs. Ever think of that? Not only that, but many stations around where I live only show minorities getting the shock treatment. That’s called bias, and is a cheap way to make a point. You get the cops suspicious; it's your own fault. Don't act stupid and you won't get shocked, or shot.

And in a metaphorical sense, there are people bigger than us punishing us for doing bad things. They're called the police.

Seriously, it sounds like some kind of weird s&m powerplay thing.



That's most likely because you're an over-sexed pervert. I love how people attempt to link everything to sex today. It's such a weird phenomena. People, even high-end sociologists, put way too much emphasis on sex it seems. Probably a reaction to the ongoing deconstruction of old sexual taboos. Instead people are going way to the other extreme, which is pretty much just as bad.
