[net.kids] Spanking, good or bad

colonel@gloria.UUCP (George Sicherman) (01/26/85)

Here's a point that nobody has brought up, so far as I know.  Of all
the forms of corporal punishment, the most popular seems to be striking
the child's unguarded ass.  Can anybody explain why this method is
superior to others?

	"If you strike a child, take care that you strike it
	in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life.  A
	blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven."
			G. B. Shaw, _Man and Superman_ (1903)

Could we find out if Col. G.L. Sicherman is a parent or not, please?
By the way, Col., if you know someone beating their children (as you
claim in a previous message) what have you done about it?  Cheered
them on?
