Wait a minute Col. I think you may have contradicted yourself.

First you said you completely agree with Stevem4a1 that it is wrong to spank your kids: "In all seriousness, I agree with your posts. It is great to see some open minds on here."

But later stated: "I do think possitive reinforcement has a far greater value than a consequence type discipline (not just speaking in terms of spanking) - but I think both have a place in a raising well rounded children."

Are you running for office?
