So you're saying my parents couldn't do a good enough job raising me? I came out fine with spanking, and might not have if I hadn't been. (and I gotta say the belt smarts...) I support spanking because of these parents who don't raise their kids right at all. The one's who have kids running around a store screaming or cursing at them. Honestly, there's no way I'd want to raise a kid if there's other kids around cursing at their parents and others. A good spanking has nothing to do with being a bad parent, it's just a more forceful disipline, that is very effective. If you think spanking is for bad parents then you should go hang around in a store some day and see if you can point out the ones that have never been spanked. (No, they're not the ones walking calming beside their parents, unless those parents did a hell of a good job. which is very uncommon these days)
