Simply put, I view the use of ...I like this post. Simply put, I view the use of the word "spanking" as a thinly veiled way to disguise the more violent word of hitting, which is really what "spanking" is. <br />My way of thinking about it is asking this question: "Would I hit any other human being for any reason?" If my neighbor's tree was shedding its leaves on my lawn, would I go over and hit one of my neighbors? Then why is it ever okay to hit a person who happens to be smaller?<br />I wonder if that's why bullying occurs? Does the bully understand that it is okay to hit someone smaller because that's what has happened to him (or her) and that's what he (or she) has learned to be acceptable behavior ? <br />Anyway, I guess you get my message, I totally 100% agree with everything you wrote.lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.com
