If you have to smack your child then you must be a full-on retard. Either that or your 6,7,8,whatever year old is such a genius that the only way you can influence their behaviour is to use your size advantage and act like a thug.

What is so staggeringly amazing about this is the way that slavish followers of fashion refuse to believe that they are slavish followers of fashion

From CUK December 1913.

If you don't smack your child then you must be an idiot of the first water. Either that or you're (sic) four, five or six years old will grow up to be a little monster with no discipline.

My wife doesn't like it when I spare the rod...

Smacking is overrated. I find a good cane or riding crop more useful. Nothing better than having the kids cower in the corner as you reach for the baseball bat or cat o'nine tails.

It's all about respect.
