The Evil Bastards come out of hiding again

Apparently 300,000 evil bastards have signed a petition saying they want the legal protection afforded to adults to not be extended to children any more.

They, presumably, believe they have the right to smack children around. This makes them evil bastards and, in many cases, the future parents of taggers, bike thieves, muggers, rapists and finance company directors.

With all the moaning about the ills of society I'm still astonished that attempts to undo them meet so much resistance. Still - "Nanny State" whingers, your thread starts here.

No response, this argument has been done to death on KB and no one has changed their stance a bit.

John.

Emotive bullshit, maybe they can tell the difference between a smack and abuse, which is something you're obviously unable to do going by your post

edit, a re read makes it look like a pisstake

I'd like the law to be changed to let me smack other peoples' kids.

My parents killed me. At least once. Made me the man I am today, it did.

Some of us are from the old skool of thought where a good smack can do wonders. My old man laid into me a few times when I was a kid. I got a few good hidings. Dad was never out of place as I deserved every smack that I got (I was a shit as a kid). My dad never went overboard, and in a day or two things were always back to normal. The cops back in the day were well known to give a kid a boot up the arse, and it was all just part of the job.
I admit those years were in the twilight of the days of a good hiding from the folks, but kids knew their place, and did ya ever hear of kids murdering people or shit like that?
Today with the PC BULLSHIT things have gone crazy. Ya have kids running riot. Fuck ya have kids trowing concrete off motorway overpasses. Is that demented and fucked up or what.
Bring back the good old days where a dad could hurl his boot up the asshole of a little brat!
