Okay, first and foremost...yes, I am against spanking. Does that mean that I think everyone who has ever tapped their child on the bottom is an evil child abuser? No, of course not. So this is my disclaimer: I am not trying to attack anyone's opinion, so spankers, please do not write nasty and rude replies telling me what an idiot I am for being against spanking. That certainly does not change my outlook on spanking when people in favor of it act so rude and disrespectful. My main question is, why do people seem to think that spanking is the only possible way to raise children? Why do so many people think that all kids who aren't spanked become criminals? That isn't true at all! There are a lot of kids now who are spoiled because their parents don't want to have to deal with them so they basically just don't discipline at all. But my parents didn't spank me, yet they still disciplined me. We have a wonderful relationship now and I respect others.
