The majority of people, whether CEOs or bums on the street, were spanked as kids. Not to mention that the newspaper's survey had a whopping sample size of "about 20". Whatever that means. They don't even know how many people they talked to? |

What I like about that article is the way they write it up like the CEO's are lucky not to be crooks and killers because they were spanked. They didn't do much of a "survey". It appeared that there were 20, but they all had been spanked. That was the article. I wonder who on this board was NEVER spanked. Me, even being the perfect angel as a child, was from time to time "switched". But that's okay. Mom had to go to the Nursing home, and I got to choose it. Want your teeth back Momma? Huh? Remember when you spanked me in '67 over that broken vase? Seems pretty trivial now doesn't it? Aren't you Sorry momma? Huh? BWHWHAHAHAHA |

One thing I've noticed is that I have no real baseline for measuring how my kids' life is right now. I look at their life and from my point of view they're very priveledged, have a great life, not a single want. My wife, who had a lower middle class upbringing, sees it mostly the same but her baselines differ. To most of the people we know we are cheapasses who put too much effort into stretching our dollars. As an example, on a night my wife works, I make dinner for the kids. I ask them what they want... one says oatmeal, the other a cheese sandwich. I think cool, healthy, they get it. My wife comes home, sees what they had, and is annoyed that I didn't make them something "better" like fish sticks and fries. My point of view is that not only did they have dinner, they had what they wanted, and it was healthy food. Her point of view is that they should have a hot dinner. Other people on our block would see the fish sticks as a low quality dinner. |

Serving Fish sticks is child abuse. |
