Quote:Oh and as for corporal punishment (you mean things like spanking?), that's not right... oh sure you need to punish people but that isn't nice. What my parents did most of the time was made me have a time out on the stairs for a few minuites... hitting children is cruel and should not be allowed. You need to find some kind of replacement punishments of course because as I said you can't just let people do anything, but hitting? Absolutely not.
Corporal punishment when taking to far is definitely a bad thing, but a swat on the behind I'd say does a lot more than a time out. Spare the rod and you spoil the child.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
