I read an article about how the British rejected a ban on spanking kids. They decided to allow moderate spanking of kids instead. I guess the rest of Europe has a ban on all forms of physical punishment, such as spanking. When I was a kid, I got spanked. I was raised on a farm and my father used a rubber hose from a milking machine to spank us kids. Let me tell you folks, it was like a whip and it stung. I think that was what made me tough. You learn to take a little physical pain. You also learn discipline. That is the point of spanking.

You could always tell on the playground which kids had liberal parents who didn't spank. They were spoiled brats and they were wimps like their liberal weenie parents. How do you discipline a child who doesn't have the mental ability to be reasoned with at such a young age without spanking?

"The Time Out" - I love that one. They put you in a little corner for about 5 minutes. What happens if the kid decides to run around and scream instead of sitting in the corner. What do you do then Mr. Liberal Parent? You know you can't yell at the kid because that would be verbal abuse. You certainly cannot grab the kid because that would be physical abuse almost as bad as spanking. So, basically you have to let the kid run wild.

I remember my grandma spanking me once and she did it with so little force, that I laughed. It didn't hurt, so I just laughed. You have to make it hurt a little or else it does no good. This is why I am not sure these so called "moderate spankings" are any good. Liberals don't understand this. Of course liberals don't understand contact sports like football either.

I am engaged and about to get married. I hope to have kids someday and so I am starting to think about these sorts of things. I know I won't use a rubber hose to spank my kids like my father did, but I will find something. Kids have got to learn discipline and a little toughness.

I think liberal parents should be spanked. They are making the world a wimpier place and the kids are running around wild without discipline.
