1. I love spanking threads!

This will degenerate quickly but thanks for posting it.

Here's my take: If you spank your kids, go right into work to morrow and tell you boss you want to be spanked (1) when you make a major mistake; (2) when you make a minor mistake and the boss is mad/drunk/out of control; and/or (3) when you make no mistake and the boss is mad/drunk/out of control.

If you do this, then you can argue with some, not really persuasive, but some legitimacy for this outmoded act.

2. If Spanking Worked...

If you think spanking works, take a close look at prison populations. You think those people weren't spanked? Spanking leads to resentment, and often, rage. It's a dangerous way to go about trying to get someone to do what you want them to do. And a lazy way.

4. It doesn't work! The intent of my post was irony. Adults who spank

would never think of their 'superiors' spanking them.

3. Probably Helped Make a Masochist Out of Me...

...so it wasn't a total loss.:spank:
