Personally, a child needs a good whooping every now and then.  It lets them understand their place on the food chain at home.  Okay, no I do not eat my children but I do punish them.  Punishments can range from losing a cool toy, MP3 player or TV/Computer privileges.  But when they are young and do not understand what thy have, they get a good old fashioned spanking.

I remember when I was a kid, I used to get the living hell beat out of me.  Did it help?  I think it did…nah, who am I kidding.  I never grew up till I was like 27 years old.

Anyways, back to the point.  There is an article out there today about a group that thinks spanking or paddling is not a good thing.  They want schools and parents to stop this corporal punishment now.  They feel it leads to teaching children violence…no stupid people leads us to violence.  Wait, schools get to whoop kids too???  I did not even know schools still did this…but they do.  There is 21 states that this is still legal and the following states use it regularly, Missouri, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida.  I say good for them, more states should follow in their footsteps.

Part of the article has quotes from James Dobson himself.  get this, we actually agree to a point.  That is freaking scary to me, because he is not exactly the smartest peanut in the turd.

“Corporal punishment is not effective at the junior and senior high school levels, and I do not recommend its application” Dobson said on the organization’s Web site.  - I agree here, I do not want some teacher spanking my older child at school.  The older they get, the less it helps.  You need a better way of punishing them.  Kick them out of sports or hold them back in school.  Something, just not physically touching them at that age.

“It can be useful for elementary students, especially with amateur clowns (as opposed to hard-core troublemakers). For this reason, I am opposed to abolishing spanking in elementary schools because we have systematically eliminated the tools with which teachers have traditionally backed up their word. We’re now down to a precious few. Let’s not go any further in that direction.” - Wait a second, am I actually agreeing with this monkey turd?  Sort of, I think all schools should have the ability to spank kids ages 10 and younger.  if they get out of line, cause problems and will not listen…SMACK THAT ASS!

Kids these days are getting way out of control anymore.  Girls have the need to dress in as little clothing as possible and boys for some reason like to wear their pants/shorts all drooped down.  Do you dumb ass boys realize that sagging your drawers is a meaning of “I am ready for butt sex”?  That is right, this is a visual aid created back in the old prison days.  You sag your pants, you are a bitch and ready to have your corn hole plugged.  So every time you see a kid with his pants sagging, just laugh it off as he is saying, “Hey world, I like butt sex and I am ready to take your load”.  And girls, the less clothes you wear…well…you tend to look pretty damn slutty to a point.  A black bra under a white tank top, short shorts with your butt cheeks hanging out and pants so damn low we can tell whether you wiped your butt the last time you used the restroom.  Not attractive in the least.  There is a time and place for these outfits.  Guys, try and do this in prison and I bet you change your mind about how cool you look.  Girls, find out how many sex offenders live near you or your school and I bet you will think about that little shirt and no bra before you hit the mall.

Wow, we have gotten way off path here.  The idea is this, kids need to be punished.  It helps them understand right from wrong.  Does it help all of them, no, but it will help a majority.  You can sit there and say, spanking will not help my child and you may be right.  Prison has not helped all inmates, but I bet it sure made most of them think twice…especially when they sag their pants.

Still think spanking is not needed or is a harmful way to deal with kids?!?  Have you ever been at a store or restaurant and heard that kid in the back or right next to you screaming at his/her parents and thought, “OMFG, would you just beat that child already!”.  I have and I know I am not alone on this one.

Now let’s get to the part of the story that really gets me going.  They claim that the majority of the kids spanked are black.  Is this where we are going today people?  Everything in society has to be black or white.  I am so sick and tired of everyone writing stories claiming the black community is being put down again.  Here is the story line for the raciest kid spanker’s,

The punishment is disproportionately applied to black students, according to the organizations. During the 2006-07 school year, for instance, black students made up 17.1 percent of the nationwide student population but 35.6 percent of those paddled at schools.

So let me get this straight, of all students in teh country there is only 17.1% that are black and 35.6% of that 17.1% were paddled last year.  I am no math expert, but that number does not add up to being a black problem.  According to my math, 82.9% of the students are not black.  People, stop making this a racial issue.  If the kids get out of line, they get punished.
