But I don't blame her. I blame the system which not only allows, but encourages useless people like her to pad out our "govt" expenses. She, and many others in similar positions, have achieved absolutely nothing.

Does he think his own family is above such legislation? If not, why not? If so, does he believe the "great unwashed" needs legal guidance in the raising of their children? He knows perfectly well that ignorant or sadistic people will continue to batter children, regardless of the law.

In fact you could argue there are a hell of a lot of parents who are "bad" or indifferent because they refuse to discipline their kids.<br /><br />Every parent should have the right and responsibility to smack their kids if they believe it will do some good.<br /><br />And can we dispense with calling smackers "loving" parents? I don't give a shit whether they love their kids.. all I want is for kids to be smacked if they need it.<br /><br />Also, can we dispense with "a light smack on the bottom? If the kid needs it give him a good solid smack on the arse and be done with it. Like Barry Obama said.. If you see the neighbour's kid acting up, give him a "whooping".<br /><br />JCJCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-5578924715846875642009-08-24T14:33:20.230+12:002009-08-24T14:33:20.230+12:00What is sad is a sizeable demographic is unaware i...What is sad is a sizeable demographic is unaware it was all about 'control'; a sizeable demographic unaware this was marxism in action.<br /><br />Such a shame that the advocates of freedom have to start from absolute scratch because of decades of socialist indoctrination of the population.Elijah Lineberryhttp://www.nightcitytrader.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-79136213456116197982009-08-24T14:04:23.295+12:002009-08-24T14:04:23.295+12:00Excellent post, just awesome.

It's always been about control, never about the smacking and the Left care not one iota for the rampant child abuse still rife out there.

This law is not clear, therefore they have a duty to fix it.
