The Christian Smacking Manual!!

**Colapop** · 19th July 2006, 12:29

I smacked my kids as little 'uns. It hasn't done them any harm. In saying that I've never hit them anywhere but on their arse and haven't hit them with anything but my hand (about 3 smacks max.) They learned very quickly not to do things that (mostly) I considered naughty or dangerous. Yes I am the law in my household and as long as they live in my house they abide by my rules.
All that said I support them in everything they do and trust that they (now) know the difference between right and wrong. I also have not smacked either of them since I don't know when (years).

My parents never hit me at all and look how well I turned out.

The pro-smackers have an elegant line in sophistry. They state that "parents" should be able to use "force" to discipline children, where appropriate. Many New Zealanders would agree with this proposition. But the unasked question is around the context, level and extent of such measures. I don't think that many New Zealanders would support 10-15 minute sessions, or for that matter any application of force to a child that constituted a "session".

I think that was the joke. While Helen is a big problem, so too are all the man hating bitches that surround her. Which raises a question. Why are all female politians as ugly as fuck in NZ? Yuck.

The anti smackers do a pretty good line on calling a fluffy bunny a spikey porkupine as well. Just my opinion as a barbarian horde of course ;-)
