That's an oddly specific way of looking at whether life is better now than it used to be. I tend to look at things like quality of life, happiness levels, crime rates, murder rates, and things like that. I don't really care how the economic system swirls around the funds as long as people, on average, are happier.

It was stated that today is different. I simply ask is it better than when they were growing up? I fail to see that. So when you ask about the switch, I say yes, the switch needs to be used more often. Not every case. and not even necessarily the switch itself, just corporal punishment. But in some areas of this country, the switch is the tool and that is how it has been handed down. I dont know AP, or really have any reason to like him. I just understand what he was trying to do though I think he handled it poorly and excessively to an extent. I dont think that level he went overboard equals felony intent. I think he needs a warning and some education. In other words his intentions weren't completely bad, his execution of those intentions needs work. That's not hard for reasonable people to understand. |

People that are doctors or have high paying jobs pay latino's and black's to raise their kids, who happen to live in the projects. Go figure.

Honestly, having to listen to a couple of hours of non-stop talking and the continuous tapping of mother’s index finger on the cherry wood dining room table, was punishment enough. |

Our daughter is an angel, and listens. Our 2 1/2 year old son needs a pop on his butt when he screws up. I can't imagine what sick **** would take to lashing their kids. |

I was a kid who pushed the limits all the time. She knew how to get what she wanted by being the good kid. Even if at times it was deceiving. |

I don't have kids. I don't advocate anyone beating their children. I don't even like hearing parents yell at their kids. But I have met kids who were just...monsters. Kids who did whatever they wanted and talked to their parents like they were dogs. I'll never forget the first time I spent the night over at a friends house in the second grade and my friend called his grandmother a ****ing bitch when she tried to get us to go outside. I know that, ideally, a kid would never get to that point. But life doesn't work like that. Sometimes good people have rotten kids. Sometimes rotten people have great kids. Do not abuse your kids. But if a smack on the ass is what it takes (when ever everything else has failed!) then so be it. |
