Title: Kiwi organization promotes hitting children
Post by: TehBorken on Jul 19 06 10:21
 [h3]Kiwi organization promotes hitting children         [/h3] A Christian organization in New Zealand devoted to promoting beating children has produced a booklet with instructions on how to hurt your child, and is touring a Swedish lawyer around NZ who argues that Sweden's anti-hitting-your-kid law ruined Sweden.

Mr Smith said last night the brochure was written for a Christian audience and outlined the biblical philosophy of child punishment. Many Christians did not want to see smacking banned as that would take away parental authority, but he conceded the brochure would appear as "total nonsense" to non-Christians.

I loathe people like this.  As a recipient of "smacks", I can tell you it left me with issues that took years to move past.  I am a firm believer that if you must use violence to solve issues, you have a brain that is incapable of creative thought and you're simply lazy, angry and a blight to society.

  Anyone that "smacks" someone smaller than themselves, without fear of being hit back, is nothing but a spineless coward and should be shot with balls of their own shit for a week.  

  If they're still angry afterward, you haven't shot them with enough shit.
