  Dear Karen…

  I stumbled upon your website thanks to Google and was intrested in your little
  
  “rant” about people that use corporal punishment for their childern.

  “I seem to have a strong aversion against people who hit their children. As I walk down the street, if I see a parent yelling at or slapping her kid, I feel like kicking the shit out of her or him. ”

  “I feel like kicking the shit out of her or him…”

  Isn’t that an oxymoron? You want to ‘kick the shit’ out of people who are hitting others.

  Corporal Punshiment is NOT how people have introduced violence into society, I was beaten horribly as a child (course hindsight says now I deserved it but maybe not with a 2×4) and I dont beat my kids. I may ‘spank’ them when its warrented, but thats if they go into the street or something very serious.

  The reason why childern are so violent is because of television. I know most people in their 30’s grew up with Bugs Bunny and other violent cartoons and that’s no excuse, but now it’s everywhere….and all the current popular cartoons are about ‘getting’ the bad guy and using force.

  Computer games – well thats a differnt subject because my child is too small to worry about that – the only computer games he uses are ones on Noggin.com, or PBS Kids.

  I just found it highly retarded on your part to make a rant about people hitting their kids and then you’re answer to it is MORE VIOLENCE.

  Dur Dur Dur….
