I can't believe that now, in the 21st century, spanking is still legal and even sometimes socially acceptable in a "civilized" country like the U.S.! Spanking is a terrible form of violence, and it teaches children that violence is acceptable! Not to mention that spanking is a form of sexual assault, because the buttocks are a sexual region! All parents who spank must be pedophiles who get sexual pleasure from beating their children on a private, sexual region of their bodies! And when kids are beaten on such a private part of their bodies, it teaches them to submit to pedophiles! Spanking also teaches girls to submit to abusive husbands later in life! Spanking is primitive and outdated! It's a fossilized relic from a bygone era! Why do parents still use such a brutal and primitive method of discipline now in the 21st century? Spanking should be illegal everywhere and parents who spank should be burned at the stake or crucified or drawn&quartered!

doesn't defend the pedophile priests? Isn't it the same thing? Or is it that their hatred of the Church trumps their delight in defending child rapists? How can this be defended? Don't give me this crap about defending civil rights. I totally understand that. But when something is criminal, such as child pornography, this is not someone's "civil rights." It is criminal. Period. Children have for too long been mistreated and tossed about as sexual objects. These are children. How can the ACLU (Anti Children Liberal Union) advocate this?

I brought up four boys on my own having got them away from a violent Father.
All I did was to give them everything that they *needed* (which was not the same as what they wanted).
I set fixed routines for them (adjusted acccording to their age) and had a proper set of Family rules with consequences for breaking them and one was that I would not tolerate bad language because to me that was a prelude to violence (real,physical including when I was pregnant).
My boys thrived on that and all have good jobs now and one is a good Father too (and the rest shall be too).
Now I see my eldest grandson (8) starting to get out of control and being rude and have mentioned it to my son yet his wife says that it is "normal" and now she has told me that I was "too strict" with my boys.Now my son has never said anything of the sort and I think she is reading too much into it and trying to let Lewis do as he likes for *her* benefit and my son doesn't see it.
What should I do for the best?

For a 5 years old child that crave constant attention from adults? We play with him constantly and we take him out for stimulations and entertainment, but sometime we have chores and job to be done, but meanwhile he's still constantly asking questions to distract us from business, do you think by getting a dog for a child, we'll be able to take a breather?

They honestly don't work. I know several people that have the same "problem". I only drink them because they taste good, and no normal pop (soda for you non-michiganders) tastes the same. Anyone know the reason?

I'm a working adult who graduated form high school 4 years ago. My grades in high school were pretty decent ( B average). I'm planning on going back to school. I know I have to take my SATs, but what are the chances of me getting into a good college or university even if I get high SAT scores?

I'm not planning on going to an Ivy league school or anything like that, but I was just wondering what my chances are getting into a university. Would colleges and/or universities even look at my grades from high school since they are so old? I would really rather not start at a community college, I would like the chance to go to a big school with a big community.
