Perfectly fine as long as you only do it when nothing else works. And I'm not talking once a week or once a day here. Only when NOTHING else works. Works for me.

my child is grown up now when she was growing up if she was very naughty i would smack on the hand so she knew right from wrong never did me no harm growing up i was never beaten

Couldn't agree more with the last person. There's just no reason for people not to commit crimes anymore! And even with the death sentence in the US, the inmates still get to spend about 20 years eating drink and taking drugs..

have we got the right to kill someone in the name of justice? I think that this is more to do with the cost of keeping offenders in prison, if you convicted of murder should you die? if this is mandatory can you think of all sorts of circustances where the crime is not quite as striaghtforward as it sounds, like in the case of abuse if the the abuser gets killed is that ok? If someone has been blackmailing you and you kill them is that ok?

LYNYRD SKYNYRD! The greatest rock band ever! Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, Artimus Pyle, Steve Gaines, Leon Wilkeson, Ed King! The best rock band in the world! And even though half of them have died, the band is still going, with Ronnie Van Zant's brother, Jonny Van Zant, on lead vocals! The freebirds still rock!

rock sucks
