And I do think the anti-spanking bill is useless, as there are already laws to punish ABUSIVE people who beat their children excessively (i.e. lashing out when they are angry, for no good reason. I think we have probably all witnessed that at some point). But, I wonder if NZ has worse kids now. Probably not. However, I do think it is a Pandora's box. Maybe they should just stiffen sentences for the ABUSERS, since that is what I assume they are trying to prevent.Nicholehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12856961502842210791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21821553.post-67213290111549962592008-06-24T07:16:00.000-06:002008-06-24T07:16:00.000-06:00Yes, at this rate it will soon be time to board a new Mayflower and sail away . . . but to where? New Zealand already has the anti-spanking law in place, and most of the rest of the Western world seems poised to follow (save for those portions of it which have already preceded NZ).Luke Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00468820761922891904noreply@blogger.com
