[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] Well, if your parents raised both of you the same way, then even in your own family your "(don't) spare the rod . . . " method only has a 50% success rate, and that is if we discount your younger sibling. You conveniently forgot to quote my statement regarding my obedience to non-violent parents. My parents instilled in me at an early age that their authority, experience, intelligence, and knowledge should be respected, and I did. Any "reasonable" child would do the same, without violence. I agree that some children, "by nature," are more difficult. In that case, the nature of that difficulty should be addressed, be it biological, chemical, or emotional, by professionals. I will not propose an ammendment, because an ammendment is unneccessary. I believe that children have the same rights to life, liberty, and happiness as adults. And if an adult grounds a child, for good reason, "depriving" her/him of liberty, a "reasonable" child will realize why he/she was grounded. If he/she pursues the "violation" of his/her rights in court, a "reasonable" court will rule in favor of the parents, who were acting in the child's best interest. Why should adults be entitled to more rights than children? The "family unit" of this nation has functioned for over 200 years without clarification from the government. Frankly, the less "clarification" from the government on the most personal insitution in our lives, the better. P.S. You do not have to worry about me "breeding" any time soon; I will not do so until I am married, and marriage is probably 10+ years down the road for me, if ever. [/QB][/QUOTE]
