that´s one of the many laws i dont like about the USA...You cant spank your kids, then why have kids...

you cant spank them they grow up to be thugs or whatever and all your hard work for nothing...Dude that´s a 18 year job every day of the year 6 to 8 hours a day then they turn you up to a: elderly home forget you there....
You HAVE to teach a kid what´s wrong and what´s right, manners, etc...Not spanking your kids creates more thugs...Yeah they listened to a who knows what study, study that could be influenced by money just look at the climate change study...I always felt that studys could be influenced by money...dont forget we live in a money hungry planet...The government is telling the parent of a child how to raise his/her kid and if the government is going to do that the government should pay for that child to take care of that child...where is the money that is coming from to take care of that child is coming from the parent...

One reason i suspect this study was influenced by money is that if you dont spank your kids then tend to be more loose mentally and thus become more gay/lesbian/bi and be more lose morally so who knows if this study was influenced by the gay community or someone with a gay agenda...Dude i dont have a problem with gayness but DONT FORCE anyone to do what they dont want to do...For sex i tell you, they will detonate an atomic bomb and dissappear an entire continent...Just for sex...And not just that something else the study didn see is that if you got someone that grew up very loose mentally then that person marries someone that is very lose, the kids grows up MORE LOSE and the process is just losing up as generation passes by, causing the population to have more kids you are going to see more mixed marriages, more violence, etc...Why because a person is not restraint it has never been restraints and the mind has a chip that constanly is going up and down seducing or telling the mind to do evil or not common stuff, or become lazy...Pitch that along with the climate of the USA which is colder along with obesity going rampant...what do you think will happen enventually...
again this is all hypothetically speaking...

is kind of like been beautiful beautiful people dont get restraint and if not been careful of or taking care of it unrestraintness can lead to not having scruples...Beautiful people are lucky because besides that they have a high level of confidence and they have access to anything but dont forget beautiful people are a minority is not the case with everyone else...

lastly...And then there is the alcohol acechando and since most people seen to drink go figure...Something that helps beautiful people is that since they have more access and have everything they need they tend to be more happy than the average person which helps but again go figure it out and you will see...

and since most people want to sleep with beautiful people, remember is 1 beautiful person against: 700,000 against him looking at everyone of his/her weakness...same thing could happen with blond people...Again is good having a supercomputer, not just 1 supercomputer, all calculating all of this...

I strongly agree, I strongly agree, lol.

You do everything you can, but, they are truly responsible for their own actions, after a certain age.

P.S. Please don't discipline your kids in public, cameras are everywhere,
If you so decide to beat dat arse, lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo

I spent three months living with a brother-in-law last year for disipline my child. Got reported by my own daughter and had to move out and take anger management classes. It was pure BS.

I am also from the old skool of 'whip that butt'. Let's face it graduates from the old skool....we were raised in a different time. For the future generations....remember...we become grandparents and the rule is: If I've got to babysit..remember...I will whip that arse. So there is some hope for them yet!

I always warn my kids. I always tell them what will happen if they keep doing what I tell them not to do. Then after what I feel is ample enough time to get themselves under control, I tear that a$$ up. Before the a$$ whipping I always ask them if they know why I am whipping their behind and I make them tell me what they did to bring on that whipping. They also have to tell me how many times I warned them and what I told them would happen if they didn't do what I told them. Then I pound on the buns until I know they don't want to experience that again.

I use a paddle like the schools use for "corporal punishment". I figure if the school can hit with a piece of wood then so can I. I do it just like the schools do. "Touch them toes baby!!! I want all booty!!!" I guess you can say my whippings are very controlled and they are done in the privacy of their bedroom away from the other kids.

I also warn my kids at times with the warning "don't make me slug you in your forehead." They know that I will slap the taste out of their mouths if they look me in the eye and lie to me. All of my kids know that I would rather have them tell me the truth even if I don't like what they say, than look me in my eye and lie to me.

I have a grandson that is 14 mos old and my daughter relies on me to discipline him because he sees her as a playmate. She hates to see me do it so she usually leaves or warns him before I tap his hand or gammys.

As a parent we are responsible for teaching our children that there are consequences for their actions and that the stupid stuff they pull is not cute and they are the one to pay the price.

EX: When my daughter entered highschool, I sat her down and told her that if she decide to start having sex, she need to let me know first so that we can make the necessary arrangements. I told her that I wasn't worried about her getting pregnant, because when she leaves the baby will leave with her. I told her that I didn't want to have to bury her before her time or go hunting because of some guy trying to grow a brain. I told her you can't see a disease. You can only see the results of a disease. I told her if she was going to do grown folks stuff then they should be paying for a room and not disrespecting that boy's parent(s) house. And if he wasn't willing to pay for a room then he didn't need to be in her stuff.

During her senior year of highschool she came to me and told me that everything I told her, she told her friends and classmates and almost all of them wished they were my kid. Why? Because I kept it real and I could relate to raging hormones. Sad to say a few of these class mates were already expecting and some were already HIV positive both boys/girls.

She also told me that she learned how to be accountable for her actions by the way I disciplined her over the years and she's learned to weigh the cost before she make decisions.

I found that duct tape works the best...hehe
