They got that ass whipped cause they deserved it! Everytime I got 1 is was all my fault,even if my sisters did it! I was the oldest so...... Go figure! I should have known better! I did!!!!! My Daddy was the worst I've ever had! Mostly for when I told a lie or was not home when he said! If they outlaw spanking the next generation will not be worth a shit for nothing! Not to mention the parents will be overcrowding the jails!!!! Now the overcrowding is due to the posession laws! Mostly for a small amount of WEED! I say write your congressman and put this to a vote state by stae! That dude on tv today noway has children! He's a FUCKIN' prick! There's my 2 cent's! I'm a better person for all the spankings I've gotten! I even told my Daddy Thank you for every 1 he gave me along the way! I am the person I am today for that reason!

You clearly have very strong feelings on this subject. Your liberal use of exclamation points certainly left no doubt about that.

I rather doubt the nation is in danger of having spanking outlawed, and I can tell you straight out that there's never going to be a referendum vote on the subject from state to state. Do a little more reading on this subject when you're not feeling so "exclamatory" and you'll find that nearly everyone with training in pediatrics and child psychology agrees that there are better ways to discipline children than hitting them, despite any great benefits you might have derived personally from the practice. Most reasonable people recognize that spanking doesn't necessarily constitue abuse, but child protective authorities generally agree that hitting/beating with objects like belts and paddles and hairbrushes often crosses the line.
