Re: Forty Minus One

To be fairly honest, that's a silly question. If I am in a house with a child about to be raped I'll kill the attacker if I have to. I'll probably spend most of my life feeling regret and guilt for it but a child is a child.

It still doesn't make any of it right. And pre-eminant attack out of a burst of epinephrine and a paternal reaction is far different than executing a man for a crime that has already happened.

You will not find one in the new

[h=3]Exodus 22[/h]King James Version (KJV)

22 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.


Food for thought hmm and this is in the old

Are humans and animals of the same intelligence now?

Do animals have a spirit ?

God gave man to have dominion over animals can we ill treat them ? why or why not

I agree that spanking if done right is harmless, and does set a definite boundary. What's most important is the chat before, that is responsible for at least 50% of the beneficial effect. I'm not sure there's such a thing as bruises that last an hour? But anyway yes marks do and should fade reasonably quickly.

Each child is different so they must be disciplined in ways with how they learned best. The system I was raised with was 1-2 warnings and then spanking. Warnings NEVER worked for me. EVER. Spanking was the only thing to keep me in line. Spanking is harmless. There is a difference between spanking to discipline and spanking to injure a child. I was spanked. I lived. I was spanked with hands, leather belts, fly swatters, kudzu vines, switches, spatulas...you name it. When I got to be 16, spanking was stopped and the grounding started to take place. There is a right time for discipline. It is okay to spank. However, using things that leave bruises on your children for more than an hour: that is abuse. It hurts more for the parent to be the discipliner than for the child to be disciplined. I may not be a parent but I have babysat several times. I hate seeing the look on the eyes of children when they know they did something wrong but they need to be taught there are consequences for bad behavior.
