<<I gather from this post that you think I approve of spanking. I don't. I'm simply trying to make my usual case that life has lots of nuances to it and that parents who spank their children are not, necessarily, at least not by that act, mentally unbalanced. It simply depends on the what the culture says about parenting.>> No, I was just kidding you. Did you not notice the g? I have no idea what your opinion of spanking is and I highly respect your thinking both academically and as a humanitarian. But spanking, IMO, is in the same category as the death penalty. Some day all countries will outlaw it. 30 countries now outlaw spanking as primitive behavior.
