What do you want, Sandy? You want this board to stay as a pretty civil forum for contrasting political views or do you want to change it into a cage match of infantile insults and name-calling?

Just askin'.

He was just plain wrong but having said that, maybe we've swung too far the other way. "never stop a child doing anything in case it effects their emotional development and God help you if you if you ever raise a hand to my child", then these same people complain about poor discipline in schools and wonder why countries that take education seriously produce smarter, more hard working adults.

As you Americans would say, "go figure".

I have never heard of this. Where is this practiced/advocated?
Seems ridiculous on the surface but I would like to read the theory as to how this is positive.

God would not be able to help you if you raised a hand to one to my kids. I am not a blow hard and I am dead serious.

Careful John, you're gonna bust Sandy's lollypop...besides, he finished his statement with a "grin"!!!

Besides, Obamma yo Mamma hasn't taken nearly the insults that some on the right have had heaped upon them, most noticeable the "tea baggers" and Sarah Palin.

But I can be a troublemaker too, especially when I'm sober!!! In the spirit of "Why can't we all just get along", I promise to holster MY lollypop, so long as everyone else does too.

Is everybody happy?????????

A person can apologize too much. But when you do or say something that is wrong, and we all have, an apology is in order.

As far as corporal punishment, a little can go a long way. And every child is different. The rod has it's place, but I would recommend using it sparingly.

I love to insult and belittle the right. And I really don't blame them when they fire back.
