England: Spank Em If Ya Got Em

British Reject Ban on Spanking of Kids

LONDON (AP) - British lawmakers on Monday voted against a ban on parents spanking their children, and decided instead to tighten existing rules.

After a three-hour debate in the House of Lords, peers rejected the ban by 250 votes to 75.

Instead, they voted to allow moderate spanking, but make it easier to prosecute parents who physically or mentally abuse their children by spanking.

Britain is out of step on the issue with several European countries, including Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Austria, where all physical punishment of children is illegal.

What the fuck are people not allowed to discipline children anymore? No wonder we have all these kids running around going wild....shooting people up..there's no discipline because parents are afraid that even smacking their wrist in public will give law the sign that there's abuse....if you don't beat the rod you spoil the child...seems to me that today's society has forgotten that

They DON'T have that in Britian, at least nothing near what we have, even when you adjust the percentages to account for their smaller overall population.

And the article was about Britain.

Not "us."

So how does their not spanking THEIR kids make OUR kids run wild?

Wow my thread makes an Ali-like return.

Thought it was pretty interesting; and the subject, on talk radio, spanking vs not, always seems to make the phones explode. I hope R+F pick this one up.

I love when the people who wont spank their kids get angry and threaten to kick the shit outta the other caller who spanked his kid.
