If I remember correctly,

I agree. Setting boundaries and enforcing them is extremely important to help raise a child. Not correcting a child's disruptive behaviors can be a form of child abuse via neglect. I'm not talking about a can of soda though... The key thing is appropriate boundaries must be set. I'll tell you right now...if you walk into my office and tell me you spank your child...I got no problems with it. If you walk into my office and tell me you hit your child with a switch or a belt I'm calling child protective services. If I see belt marks, extension cord marks, cigarette burns, scalding water burns, frying pan marks, or caning marks (switching) then you are leaving my office in cuffs and your child will be going to the next of kin that is trust worthy. You can speak all the rhetoric you want...those are the laws.

I have NO respect for people who abuse children. None, zero, amen, end of story. If you are worried about the government taking away your guns...let me see evidence that you are abusing your child and losing your guns will be the least of your concerns. It is up to all of us to protect innocent children who cannot protect themselves. I hope I am making myself clear here. It is NEVER okay to BEAT or ABUSE a child. NEVER!

WTH do you think a switch is? A board or something?

A switch is not in any way related to "caning". Caning uses something much heavier and in many cases soaked in a liquid in order to inflict SEVERE PAIN AND DAMAGE to an individual.

A peach switch is a very pliable, very lightweight, very small in diameter piece taken from the end of a branch. They do no lasting harm. The marks left do not create scars. The marks left do not bruise. The marks left do not bleed.

A peach switch is usually less than 1/4" in diameter at its thickest point and tapers to less than 1/64" at its end in most cases. The length of the switch is normally 12-18" in length. Mom always told us to grab one "about the length of a flyswatter".

I see you trying to control the conversation by controlling the language again. Caning, while called switching in those lands that practice it, is not the same thing. Perversion is the best way I can describe the practice of trying to demonize a very merciful way of administering discipline and equating it with child abuse.

No wonder children are so screwed up when are taught these things in public school. And foolish talk like the above is the cause of it.

I swear, educated idiots!!!

It is nice you have the power Crispin. Glad you are given the authority to exercise it. Can I have power too?

He probably says no. We aren't smart enough.

Dang Chadeaux, I hope the elite are kind and benevolent rulers!

If we beg enough, they may let us take a few more breaths before they put their jackboots back on our throats.

Glad to know you promote child abuse...welcome to my ignore list. I can no longer value anything you say.

Glad to see you care about protecting innocent children. Take away your gun and all hell breaks loose. Protect an innocent child and all the sudden I am a power hungry ruler. Very well done, now I can never take anything you say seriously either.

Well they did promise to put them on our throats, But do you think they will actually let us grovel enough once they have us down?

I hate to say it, But I have a hard time groveling. I try not to put myself in the position to grovel. And if it is imposed on me I may not deal with that well either. Funny how a little self respect makes you not want to beg for freedom and liberty.

I do not think I would do well with our friends across the pond.

Are you saying you are not abusing authority that you perceive should be yours?

Listen, you read theories, you read opinions, if it jibes with your thoughts you have been taught you are okay with it.

That staement you made kind of makes you look like you would like a lot of power over someone else. I am worried that you think everyone fits the same mold. It does not show intuitiveness on your part. It looks like you are hungry to "serve mankind" by enforcing your beliefs.
As we have had a congenial relationship I would hope that we reach common ground here. Please, none of us are infallible, none of us should use force to inflict our beliefs, don't let power go to your head.
