My thought is that someone needs a real good spanking.



...........while you are at it the child could use a spanking also.

Oh, how can you be so callous? The poor thing just isn't respected enough! Even babies have feelings! Have you no heart? This is just one more example of people refusing to understand how hard it is to raise children! Why, in movie theaters and libraries and restaurants everywhere I go there are children crying and running around. Does it bother me? Of course it does, but I've learned to respect their feelings and not say anything. Of course I'm now suffering from three ulcers and recently had a heart attack due to extremely high blood pressure, and am also being treated for several mental abberations, but do I let that bother me? NO! I just ignore the little mosters and their *#^$&% excuses for parents and shrug it off! Never mind the temptation to throw one - just one - of the little *%&$^# off the second-floor balcony; I just pretend I'm somewhere calm and peaceful, like the middle of a depth-charge attack. Furthermore, I think blah blah blah blah rubber baby buggy bumpers blah blah blah blah must...eat...mudpies blah blah blah blah supercalifragilisticexpialidocious blah blah blah blah I hate Harry Potter blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Yup, one of several thousand children that is short of a slap or two.
And before anyone gets on the 'oh you can't do that, sociology trip', it's exactly what dogs do with their puppies, and what cats do with their kittens. Nobody accuses cats and dogs of being abusive parents, because it's a perfectly natural way to control a youngster, who is too young to have any understanding other than 'ouch, that hurt, I guess I'd better stop doing that'.
Unfortunately, it seems that if you suggest that approach these days, everyone thinks you're Doctor Mengele.

Spare the rod etc...

I agree, the fact that spanking somehow got confused with child abuse has made for a generation of lazy, rude, and spoiled children.

Spare me. Whether something is natural or not is no indicator of whether or not it's a good thing.

Like the 'fact' that it was the welfare system that caused Cho to shoot 32 people? Again, spare me. Or, goodness forbid, cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has quite a few. Problem is they all disgree with you.

It's just too cute how proponents of corporal punishment so desperately turn a blind eye not only to scientific fact, but also to countries where it it is outlawed and the kids are just as well-behaved or better. I also like how you blatantly disregard that Correlation does not Equal Causation.

Never mind the temptation to throw one - just one - of the little *%&$^# off the second-floor balcony

I admit that toddlers who stare and stare and stare at you deserve some mild domestic violence. The number of times I'd like to dropkick one...

But yes, that news story is hilarious:rotfl:.

Please be careful. While I'm all for spanking children -

:hmm:

Let me rephrase that.

While there's nothing wrong with necessary spankings, there are children who can be constantly unruly due to reasons other than being spoiled.

Sometimes benadryl is the best medicine.
