Well firstly with that system, people would have to refrain from sex entirely until 30 or onwards,since there is always a possibility, even with contraceptives, and is there much difference between 27 and 30?? Not too much, with something ike that system, the line would have to be drawn somewhere, but I think it would have many different views.
Anyhow, that idea just repulses me, taking away freedom of sexual relations and havng a baby, which some feel is the greatest miracle of life until after 30, why should they wait that long?? Do you know they would get all that much more experience of the world's ways in a few more years??

I may not be able to out write you in trying to explain my views, Im left with falling back on the one thing that will do more to explain what I mean than any words I can write....Raise a child of your own, then come talk and we can discuss things from a more common reference. Im not saying you will come to the same conclusions but Im sure I will have many laughs at your attempts of trying to talk or reason with your 2 year old [img]smile.gif[/img] (not not all spanking involves pain, at two the swat on the diaper is all about startling them and getting their attention fixed on an unpleasent notion associated with some behaviour) |

Spending time with two year olds has NOTHING in common with being a paerent. Just because I babysat for years as a kid did not mean that I knew the first thing about parenting. |

So its not ok to smack your kids when your angry. Do you have to wait until your happy to spank them? Perhaps institute a series of random spankings at random times and random severity just to "keep them on their toes"? After all they have to have done SOMETHING wrong at some point.

And yes it can go with a well-remembered sensation, but the word no carries a lot of connotations with it, perhaps from whil at that age and just having NO! said loudly to you is a remembered sensation, as at that age I'm sure it could be quite effective.

Picturing swatting a two year old on the diaper gives me a bit of the chills. I NEVER had to swat my son ever, nevertheless at two years old!
