And they'll be put in jail or prison, and have their child taken away.

First off you obviously ignored pretty much my entire post.

I said I've never seen it used properly, obviously it's possible it has been used properly a few times, but the majority of times spanking is used is simply because the parent believes they're right and thus because the child won't listen they hit them.

That's not how you properly spank someone... as it doesn't teach them anything aside from to hide things from you, and not argue with you, and essentially have a less open relationship with you.

The parent who hit the other parent, is in the wrong, as that was AWFUL to demonstrate to their child, that violence is OKAY, plus he was an idiot, because only idiots can't deal with their problems without violence.

Spanking by majority is not used properly, and at the least Humanity needs 50 - 60 years to become more intelligent and mature, before they try it again.

i was in a mall sitting on a bench waiting for a friend to come out of a store. there was a child sitting on the bench across from me playing with a hand held game. another couple came by with kids of their own. these kids were loud, spoiled and cursing. the parents told the kids to sit on the bench and wait until they came out. * fast forwards*

the 2 kids were sitting on the bench bothering the other kid playing his game. the lonechild finally gets upset and starts mouthing at the 2 trouble makers. they start fighting and the parents come running out of the stores. the father of the 2 little meanies pulls the kid off of one of his sons and the kid starts crying. during this time the parent of the lone boy finally comes out of a store seeing his child crying draped by the collar by this strange man....* sigh * do i need to say more...it gets ugly ....all because these 2 little ones have the power over their parents. some kids just need to be whoop...i admit some dont need it but hell if they all dont.

Sigh, I'll repost this since you're all too ignorant to read the entire thread.

Spanking has become a way to punish children and even teenagers, just because they disagree or don't go a long with what the parents state (and parents can be wrong, especially if you have an intelligent child) and that is unacceptable.

Rarely if ever is it used as a method of teaching, instead of punishment or pain.

You don't punish children, you go out and buy them ice-cream and talk about what happened.

Sigh, it's pathetic that people would want spanking to actually remain, because I've never seen it used as it should be, or even be effective when it's used as it shouldn't.

Kids may fear it, and thus they may not do what angers their parents, but that doesn't mean they agree with what they aren't doing, and thus they'll do it when their parents are away, and perhaps they should.

In truth the fear of being spanked encourages children to hide things from their parents, not tell them.

The point is that spanking should be banned, until such a time that the world has become mature and intelligent enough to use it properly (50 - 60 years at the least), and not in the aggressive and punishing manner that it is used for now.

yeh, i think we are. who is to say we all have to act a certain way, and if you dont some will look down on you as if they were better then you, pffft....followers always think like this. times are changing and the system needs to change with the times. gone are the days where everyone wore suits and long dresses, gone are the days where every one dance and listened to the same type of music. we are just now starting to express ourselves as individuals, but, some that are stuck in their organized slaved ways just can't break the ignorant bonds that binds their supposedly free thinking mind.

recordings need to be precise with no flaws for constant listening. live is better when seen in person because you get to see the artist put their feelings into the music...but more times then often the performance isn't as good ( sound quality wise ) due to minor individual mistakes in the band, flaws in the ambiance or the artist performance being tiresome.

haha, all the world leaders and figure heads have their thing. i dont like the kissing of the popes ring, or the arrogant ways of the queen of england ( give me a picture of yourself? wt...) and bowing down to someone is just as bad.... imo. but itz all out of respect and if you're not pressured to do it then there shouldn't be any embarrassment. but, if it was customary for everyone todo the same for Obama....how many would do it? hmmm...
