Reply #16: I would never condone beating a kid [View All]

But to me, spanking is sometimes appropriate when it's on the rear end and not ridiculously hard. It's great for getting attention and sending the message that if you don't want to feel that again, don't do the thing that caused it.

What really gets my goat is what I refer to as "volume parenting". You know, the dipshit inbreds who run around in public endlessly spewing such unforgettable gems as "Get over here, NOOOOOOOWWWWW!!", or "Stop that, NOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!" at 153 decibels, like it's actually effective.
