#2 For a second there, I thought that said "...smoking". Same basic principle, I suppose.

The British seem to have one of the biggest collection of "cringe and hiders" on the planet. They are people terrified of everything, especially things that make loud noises, surprises of all kinds, vigorous and violent emotions, etc.

I wouldn't be amazed if they wanted all live births to be done under general anesthesia because they are such inherently violent acts.

#4 Story in full A POWERFUL UN watchdog is preparing a report that will criticise the Scottish Executive for its failure to outlaw the smacking of children.

The UN committee on the rights of the child is Powerful? Why don't they stop their own forces from trafficking in child prostitution? Why don't they stop third world female infanticide? Why don't they stop female circumcision in Africa? Why don't they stop the Taliban from blowing up schools?

Why are they wasting our tax dollars in Scotland?

#7 The fear of using even the slightest form of physical discipline explains why there are so many brats running around the world today. People are now so stupid that they equate spanking with whipping or beating; they honestly cannot see a difference. All of it is identified as abuse. Now, kids are put in their rooms in time outs. Some kids go there to play computer games and watch TV-what punishments. Others go to think about it, only to forget about it again when they emerge from their rooms 30 minutes later.

When I was a rugrat, I went around biting people. My mom, not averse to spanking, tried everything to get me to stop. One day, she bit me back-didn't break my skin, just bit me. I stopped that habit instantly, because I finally understood what my bad behavior did to others. She did a good job. Thank God Protective Services weren't around to lecture her.
