I'm stating my experience and the experience of those in my cohort. Take it for what it is. If something works for the middle class, why shouldn't the middle class continue to do so?
Spanking Your Child?
- Thread starter demien2k5
- Start date
I don't have kids but some of my friends that do, do spank their kids. They have great kids, too!
So, you do see spanking as constructive, and the only means, to disapline a child ??
I see it as an effective strategy when used properly. As I stated earlier. I guess you need me to state it again. So I did.
Native American and Colonial Children
NATIVE AMERICAN CHILDREN prior to European contact seem to have enjoyed an indulged childhood followed by initiation rites,
which occurred at the onset of PUBERTY. Born on an average at four-year intervals, they received protracted breast-feeding and
the attention of their mothers, who carried them on their backs in cradleboards. Allowed to crawl when they were ready and
to run about freely by the age of three, children were not disciplined with corporal punishment. Instead, instructed by their
parents and members of the community in tasks designated by gender, they were chastised by shaming. At the onset of menstruation,
girls were separated from the group and told to fast. Boys of the same age were isolated, confined,
and given substances that induced visions as guides to life. Such practices marked a clear line between
childhood and adulthood, as young men and women assumed the tasks designated by their cultures.

Someone mentioned this on another thread, I had to come back for a look. Congrats to demien, this seems to have been a knock out punch. Good 'Ol BL flew off into the wild blue yonder after this post.Interesting story bro', but there's some fuzzy stuff I'm not getting. If you were 8 years old in 1993, that would make you just about 30 today? Assuming you entered university at age 18 and did a four year computer science degree while simultaneously earning your flight wings to immediately become a Canadian Forces fighter pilot, then did the mandatory service term of 7 years (since the forces paid for your degree) you'd have been at least 29 years old by the time you sought and were granted your discharge, only to immediately be hired on by a major airline as a commercial pilot, quickly rising through the ranks beyond their existing complement of experienced pilots within the last 12 months to become one of your airline's primary advisors for corporate decision making, and consulting regularly with airport managers on their plans? Did I get that right? (going by what you've posted here and in other threads). You da' man.
(apologies for the hijack folks, I get confused easily)
I think demien administered a good ole ass spanking to BL with this one and all within the confines of the law but of corse, thus still keeping with the theme of this discussion. I remember when BL said this, it raised some suspecion as well that something was off.
One is a law that's been on the books for some time. C-36 is new and untested.
