Feel free to show me the law backing up that statement. I suspect though, that you cannot. I wouldn't be surprised if you could dredge up some court cases where people prosecuting on the behalf of children had prevailed against abusive parents, but that is a far cry from there being a law outright banning parents from spanking their children.

Another good candidate for having "In my opinion" appended. There's two sides to that, as I said before. In
my opinion, it's the legions of Dr Spock devotees that let their children run rampant because they're afraid to raise a hand to them that make horrible parents.
Shakran, I have to say that you've totally lost me. You seem to take issue with my post because I haven't followed some rules of debating? I hate to break it to you, but I have no training or education in the field of debate. I'm just an average guy trying to express his opinions as clearly and accurately as I know how to. If my arguments are rendered irrelevant to you because they don't follow proper formatting, then I'm sorry to hear that.
In truth, there were no "desperate hopes" in my post, just my attempt to put forth my viewpoint on a topic of interest to me.
