I never said anything about spanking a teenager, did I?

So if a child keeps trying to stick things in a light socket you think they should be left alone to live out the consequences?

LOL...seriously, have you ever met a child?
"If you tell them why it is wrong, and encourage them to want to do the right thing, then that is the way to do it."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Lets take this a step further, everyone has to buy this insurance whether you want it or not. So that way just in case you accidentally use a gun you're covered.

I think LL thinks that kids can be very easily programmed by speech.....
It IS doubtful that he has even met a child.

Do it, man! It works!
We were at a restaurant, behind me these two people had a baby with them, in the carseat still. The baby was crying & crying & crying, then got louder & louder. It got to the point that the manager came over & asked the "dad" if they would "Please quiet the baby down, this isn't really a family restaurant."
Mr Dad got mad and told the manager where he can stick his opinion...
The manager left & the baby kept crying. My wife & I had a few choices: try to ignore it, get up and leave or stand up for ourselves. I chose the latter.
I turned my chair around and politely asked BOTH of them to please quiet the baby as we are all trying to have a nice dinner & date night here. The "dad" got a little pissy with me, too. He stood up as if to be aggresive towards me. I stood up as well & confronted the lil sumbitch. I told him if he doesn't shut that f_ckin baby up, I will.
Since I was about 6 inches taller and 75 lbs heavier, he politely complied.
You know what the baby wanted?
His bottle........
F_ckin people like that, people that can be so selfish and rude, dry me nuts.

<quoted text>If you hit a total stranger the same way you do/did your kid I suspect that it would be shocking to them and the police would call it assault. Why do you think your kid would not build up a certain amount of resentment after more than one smack? I spanked my daughter one time after she deliberately got off the school bus with another girl in a bad neighborhood. She was missing for several hours and some horrible things went through my mind during that time, memories of my own disappearance, horror that she could be gone forever. The neighbors, cops, everybody was looking for her; there was no bullshit 24 hour waiting time because she was 6. When she came walking around the corner at the end of the block I knew the greatest joy, sadly, I spanked her, then came completely unglued and collapsed...crying, from a terrible mix of relief and shame. I couldn't believe that I'd spanked her after being so happy to get her back. I'm not a crying type, nor a spanker but I was a mess of contradictions, sitting in the floor, crying. I'm crying now, recalling it. I finally got up and apologized to her and explained why I was so emotional and had hit her. I told her it was dangerous for little girls to wander the town without having told their parents where they were and got it through to her that she needed permission to visit classmates' homes after that. I vowed never to spank her again. I can't imagine that she could possibly fear me more than some stranger. We've gone over "stranger danger" since then and she hasn't disappeared anymore and I would never hit her again on getting her back, no matter how hysterical I became.
I didn't proofread so get over the typos...catcher.

I know! An attitude can control you unless you control it. Do people always mean what they say?

Great. But what about the million or so unregistered guns out there, that are held mostly by criminals? Do we just say, oh well close enough?

Most sexual abuse is not done by strangers usually. Its often done by people who the child knows. That is why female teachers often rape little boys.

Gun nuts are childish and selfish. They care only about themselves and not the rights of their victims. The poor children in Sandy hook no longer have life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness, and neither do any other gun victim.
