But more seriously, no I do NOT approve of this. I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear in my original thread. I thought I was making myself clear that hitting a child, even spanking, is completely wrong and in our society spanking is seen as ok. It is disgusting, yet most individuals do it. Don't bash an entire religion because of a ruling that has similarities with our OWN culture. Now, I would hope that we all share in the fact that beating a woman is wrong, and deserves to have a baseball bat beaten through his skull.

Now I don't care about whether you are being PC or not. You don't think I have that same hatred for those individuals responsible for those attacks and future attacks? One of my good friends throughout my childhood moved to the outskirts of the city and his father was killed in the towers, so don't try and preach me about hatred about those events and all events that have followed. But I am smart enough to realize that it is not the doing of the vast majority of that religion. Like I said, EDUCATE yourself. It wasn't that long ago when we as a nation did not treat our most vulnerable members very well. We changed and so can they.

Back to the topic more specifically...remind me on my next vacation planning to not go to the UAE..didn't they imprison a couple for kissing in public? I'm glad we have some resemblence of separation between faith and government.
im sorry, but spanking is disgusting? and it lowers IQ? wow,what book have you been reading? if thats true, then i wouldnt have enough motor skills to take a leak. sorry dude, but people like you are why kids are complete lack of respect idiots these days. my kid has had her butt busted since she was about 1 1/2 or 2. shes a little over 4 now and hasnt really got one for about a year. she now knows where the line is and not to cross it. and if she does get out of line or backtalk,all i have to do is look at her and she is instantly cured...i dont understand people like you. let me guess,you probably believe in the whole 'time out' thing. wish that was around when i was a kid, id have done a whole hell of lot more wrong than i did!
