Good. Asinine statements like that further reinforce my arguments. Thanks!
(edit) and to clarify my point here, after reading your next post, if you cannot keep your temper in check long enough to post a reasoned counter to my anti-spanking arguments, how can we possibly believe that you are capable of holding your temper in check long enough to keep a spanking from turning into a beating that is abusive?

Fuck semantics dude, how is a beating
not abuse? Would you care to explain that to me?
During a beating you beat someone, as in your intentionally trying to cause *damage*, for no other purpose than not being able to control emotions, during a spanking your causing temoporary pain in order to discipline and teach. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. It's like saying that a packet of mixed nuts is the same as a mental institute.
Oh, and me getting a little angry during an argument has nothing to do with how I actually behave, I can get worked up and angry when it comes to talking, but that does not mean that I loose my temper and start hitting people without cause. Besides, some of the best advice I've heard about giving a spanking, is to not do it when your angry. If that means waiting a few minutes, or even hours to calm down first, then wait and calm down. I know how to control my temper, it has been years since I have been in a fight, and that was with my older brother when we were both in our early teens. When I have kids(if I do, anyways) the only time they would get a spanking would be if they
really misbehaved, the major form of punishment would be time outs.
And me becoming angry does not mean that my arguments are no longer reasoned, emotion and reasoning can exist together.
