Its just true.
I'm not saying parents shouldn't use other forms of punishment, but honestly it's like saying we should get rid of captital punishment, its retarded. I mean if you do something bad enough your parents should be allowed, nay, encouraged, to smack you for it. It's called classical conditioning. That said, people need to know where to draw the line, abuse is NOT ok. If a good solid thwack for soemthing you did doesn't work, maybe parents should look into boarding school or some other greater form of punishment, but we shouldn't take away a parents most effective form of discipline.
On a similar note, we shouldn't get rid of capital punishment. I'm sorry if you killed 7 people, or killed 2 people then ate them, or maybe raped 10 women. You should be put down like the animal you are. It's just another way our society is going soft. And I am a liberal saying this, not a bleeding heart liberal, a stab-you-in-the-heart liberal.[/i]
