| 803895 | 2009-08-24 10:19:00 | Now that we've squandered nine million it appears that the issue is being reframed as a parents right to do light smacking . My question is what the hell would the use of light smacking be? Surely a light smack makes no difference to a child, so let's face it, those campaigning for this are hardly likely to restrict themselves to a light smack . This really has turned into a complete joke, at least if you want to do this admit that you're doing more than a light smack, hell I've seen people doing more than that in public so god knows what they realy do when they get the kid home . I've heard some people admit they use belts and wooden spoons etc, so I doubt they believe in the light smacking stuff but at least they're honest about what they are doing . Personally when I was at school, I never saw the frequent caning of students ever make any difference to the ones that were being caned . Scared the hell out of the other 90% of the kids, but the ones that misbehaved never really changed and in fact seemed to see it as a competition to get the most strokes . So might give the adult an outlet for their anger, but has stuff all effect on bad kids . |

| 803896 | 2009-08-24 10:31:00 | Oh, but you said it yourself 12v, scared the **** out of 90%...duh, can you say d e t e r r e n t .....comes with such words you may not of heard before....punishment. We have a whole upcoming generation that doesn't understand that....and a current one that just wants to keep shrugging off societies barriers... I cant say I'm happy with the law of S59, that wont resolve the purpose for which it was intended, instead it will waste police resourcing spend chasing 1 person opinion, when it could be spent ...... you guess it, policing and protecting the abused children. Poor old Sue must have had a hard time in her childhood, my wife had a terrible one, wasn't about smacking though, but Bradford is confused with smacking\abuse, did you miss that she didn't say smack, but assault or hit!....in the news commentary tonight! |

Nothing can be done about masochists,that is those that like a bit of pain,the fact is some pain helps with discipline . The reason we all don't rob a bank is due to fear of the consquence . |

Found someones credit card the other day, handed it into the bank . Found some cash in a money machine, handed it into the bank . Most IT people with a clue could scam people easily, but we don't because most of us think it is wrong . |

If they dont change the law they have showed what value the government puts on citizen initiated referendum. I they dont change the law back they will get their asses whipped in the next election. |

You are talking about honesty and I am talking about fear . Fear stops us from doing certain things,we behave because we fear a smack,for example . |
