Just curious, klg, would you see hitting your
teenager as an appropriate form of punishment?

The only lesson I can think of where a smack might do some good is if
you have a kid who is hitting others. Then *maybe* a smack on the hand
to show them it hurts might be in order but only if telling them that
it hurts doesnt work. FWIW, none of my friends who have kids have had
any trouble telling their kids that it hurts others. The kids always
understand that.
I think verbal corrections are just as effective as physical ones.
Sure, young kids dont always understand the reasons not to do something
but if you simply tell them "that is not ok" and then redirect them to
do something else e.g "Do this instead, it *is* ok" they usually
respond very well.

My parents never spanked me as a teenager. By the time I was that age,
they felt that revoking privilages was a better punishment for me.

Re #181: I read an article yesterday about the Pink Pistols, and their
existance makes a bit more sense to me now. Apparently, it's not that
they feel there's any particular connection between homosexuality and
guns; it's that they wanted to create a club for gun enthusiasts who,
because of their sexual orientation, wouldn't be welcome in the
conservative-leaning NRA.

Re #214: Apparently quite a bit, from what I've heard from conservative
politicians. It's an important issue to the religious right, which is
sort of the rudder that steers the Republican party.

I think the only people who think the religious right exists are those who
are afraid of it.

You may think it - but it is extremely clear that a virulent religious right
exists. They were out in force in MS over that religious monument. Some
others kill doctors that perform abortions.

Interesting note: The AL atty gen who is carrying out AL Sup Ct order
to move the monument is the same Bill Pryor whose nomination to a
federal judgeship is being blocked by liberal Democrats who allege he is
unqualified because he wouldn't enforce existing federal law.

Which federal laws has he refused to enforce? I thought the liberal
opposition to his appointment is primarly because of his anti-abortion
stance.

(Why would a state atty gen have been asked to enforce federal law?)

State attorney generals cooperate with federal agencies in enforcement of
federal laws. See, for example,

(First of all, being anti-abortion automatically makes him a religious
zealot who ought to be demonstrating in the rotunda of the AL Sup Ct
bldg to keep the 10 Commands. monument there, right??
Second, tell us, what's the necessary connection between being anti-
abortion and not enforcing federal abortion laws?)

Re #225: There's a difference between being an AG charged with enforcing
the law under penalty of contempt, and being a life-tenured judge able to
make his rulings comport with his prejudices with no penalty at all.

Something relevent to the earlier conversation about bullying:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/09/04/sprj.sch.bullying.prevention.ap/ind
ex.ht
ml
"Bullying shouldn't be dismissed as a harmless schoolyard rite of
passage, according to a report that found bullies and their victims
often develop behavioral and emotional problems later in life."
It's really sort of sad that a study had to be done for people to figure
that one out.
