What is Spanking?
Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition, defines spanking
as: "to strike, especially on the buttocks, with and open hand." Striking an adult, anywhere on his or her body, for any reason other than refusing criminal apprehension or in self defense, is legally defined as physical assault. Why do people fight to defend their so-called right to physically assault their children? Is it because children are not protected from physical assault in the US? Is it because children cannot fight back until they are much older? Is it simply a repeat of how spankers were parented? Is it a lack of not knowing better? I'm curious. Why do parents feel the need to physically assault their children? And why do so many individuals who aren't parents feel the need to defend the practice? And before one individual answers, this has nothing to do with reasonable force. LaVonne |

So did your parents "assault" you, LaVonne? ;-) Doan On Mon, 26 Sep 2005, Carlson LaVonne wrote: Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition, defines spanking as: "to strike, especially on the buttocks, with and open hand."

Kane,
As a result of Doan's years of badgering, lying, and harrassment techniques I have him in a kill-file and haven't read his posts in months. Rather than respond with a thoughtful and intelligent post, it appears that he simply responded again as he always has. No loss to me that he's in my kill-file.

LaVonne You aren't entertained, as I am, by the screeching of hysterical dancing monkeys? Oh well, I guess you watched him for many more years than I. I suppose it could wear thin, like his arguments. 0:- |

Poor LaVonne! ;-) She got caught lying when she claimed to have posted "numerous times" studies where the non-cp alternatives were proven to be better than spanking under the same statistical analysis. She is now looking for an excuse to avoid me and hoping that her little puppy, Kane0 will do the dirty works for her. Come on, Kane0. LaVonne is counting on you. ;-) Doan On Wed, 28 Sep 2005, Carlson LaVonne wrote: Kane, As a result of Doan's years of badgering, lying, and harrassment techniques I have him in a kill-file and haven't read his posts in months.

Trust me, Kane. Doan's entertainment value for me wore out a long time ago. First I tried to take him seriously. Then it became apparent that his posts contained no debating points. And still later his posts appeared to be nothing more than a malicious intent to block honest debate. At that point, I placed him in my killfile, because I had better things to do with my time than read or respond to anything he had to say. IOW, he caught me lying and I just couldn't face him. ;-) I find your responses to him humorous, however! IOW, thank you for doing the dirty works for me, my little puppy. ;-) Doan |

What is Spanking?
i believe that the need to do this, is based in a fundamentalist skewed veiw of what it means to train up a child, to these people , kids are born totally EVIL and they see it as a mandate by God to beat to the point of bruising, in order to cleanse the EVIL out of the kid. ROloff believed this: http://www.whyaretheydead.net/misc/Factnet/HALPERIN.CSJ. quote: A more dramatic case is that of the Rebehak Home operated by Lester Roloff. According to the charges, residents were paddled and whipped for misbehavior. Roloff claimed that "such discipline was meant to save their souls. . .There's nothing wrong with handcuffing a girl to keep her from going to hell" (Striker, 1984, p. 98). Roloffs was the place to dump your messed up kid (that you messed up), and know that Roloff SOLD you your dignity back, they firmly believed that there was NO good in us, and they were OUT to get it out of us, none gave us a counselor we were not offered any real help, but forced to comply to authority and somehow go back out of there from a veyr toxic cult system back into the sick and ill family system that created us... latr Bryony Roloff Rebekah CultMindControl Survivor |
