I’m not defending it (of course!) because I know that spanking (the application of a hand or even wooden spoon on a bottom) is often grouped in there right with child abuse. So put shaking and hitting with a fist in the face and all that in there and everyone says, Oh, we should make those things illegal (like they aren’t!) and spanking gets in there too.
And all that’s left is the methods that only work when parents are well-rested and entirely focused uber humans and which anyone who has to deal with real life doesn’t measure up to without a full time nanny/caregiver/helper and devolves into either yelling or psychological manipulations and threats.
Which is not good for children and has every ability to be damaging if not more-so than a spanking which is honest, usually immediate (so kids know what it was for) and over quickly.
NAME…THAT…PARTY!!!
What are we supposed to use then? Harsh language?
Darn you Hokie, darn you to heck, you stole my post.

– You know, this is the pen ultimate “teh funny”. If the Kalifornicate legislature outlaws spanking perse’, the BDSM community will relocate in mass.
– Which would be at least half the damn state.
[…] immediate reaction to seeing Dan’s post, ‘California Mulls Spanking Ban‘, was to decide to write the following […]

Dang it! Now what am I going to do with the rest of these velvet ropes?
Whew! Okay, I think I’ve successfully exorcised the spirit of Chief Dan George.
Except for the eyebrows. Great eyebrows, I think I’ll keep ’em.
Thoughs on Spanking Bans
 
Sparked by Caifornia spanking legislation.
Perhaps Dan Collins is right when he says: “If spanking is outlawed, only criminals will … spank.”
