Lol… Ok I find this kind of funny because I got whoopings, spankings, or whatever else you want to call them when I was younger. My parents felt that this was the way to disipline me because children are supposed to fear their parents. Personally I believe this is true if your children don’t respect you or fear you at least a little you can’t expect them to listen to what you tell them. I’ve always wondered if this spanking arguement is due to cultural reasons but I guess not. I also feel like its all up to the parents and however they feel is best to raise their children. If that’s the case why do authorities make such a big deal about spanking kids… the media also. Seriously, children have to learn one way or another the boundry lines that they shouldn’t cross and quite frankly a little time-0ut doesn’t do the trick. What do you think????
