The Case for Spanking

Californians should pay attention to this story entitled "Girl Kicked Off Plane After Tantrum," in light of a bill being introduced in their legislature to ban spanking.

I'd be willing to bet this little hellion has never been spanked. If she had, the parents would have had better control of her, and she probably wouldn't have been so out of control in the first place.

I guess if you have a nice little compliant child, you might (MIGHT) get away with not using spanking for occasional discipline (defiance and rebellion are where it should be used), but many kids are too strong-willed to respond to anything else.

(Hint: "stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop" doesn't count as discipline and correction, but it is a good example of stupidity and impotence).

This kid is Exhibit A for the need for spanking.
