Sorry for the double post, but anyway, they call that child abuse now :covri:. It's a darn shame you can't punish children without ridicule (no, I don't have children, but I can emphasize for I have worked with younger people before).
Your right... My Grandpa whipped me once and I'll never forget it... Too bad I had so many females and tree huggers in my family... Coulda used some more.
and the funny thing... I would have learned something from him if I had only listened... But I guess that is my mistake and mine alone...
But by the same token... My Granny "Opal Belle" whipped me with a fly swatter... I was a strong teenage at the time... But I ended up feeling so bad that I had made her mad to begin with... She was the Greatest Woman that I ever knew...
