I doubt we spanked any of our kids more than half a dozen times each while they grew up, because we didn't have to. They got it, they knew their boundaries.
Refocusing and attention getting spankings.

Commies trying to eliminate all forms of violence as being possible responses against government tyranny. If you want to worry about violence against children, worry about the violence done to someone who was never disciplined as a child to established acceptable limits of social behavior.
Violence is a virtue when it strikes against tyrannical government that does not respect individual property and rights. There are quite of few I could name that are now in the news, but communists and Nazis are good examples from the past . . . and present.

Yup. We all know that when people used to whip their children, those children grew up to all be thugs and western civilization collapsed because parents and teachers used to spank bratty, disobedient, children. /s

Think of it as rebooting a computer that is acting up. Just hit the ‘spank’ key:)

Wow, I am blown over. For once in a blue moon, Pope Francis has said something that this Catholic agrees with.
