Stupid UK government

[Bro Izzy]

The Labour party (same as democrat in USA) are now trying to ban smacking your kids. The youth of today is feral and needs strong discipline

Labour MPs plan to rebel if the Government doesn't give them a free vote on smacking.
Fifty MPs will put an amendment next month calling for smacking children to be banned.
And they argue that MPs should be allowed to vote with their conscience.
It is illegal to smack a child only if it leaves a bruise. But ministers fear being accused of nannyism if they bring in a total ban.

Have you ever thought about living in Godly America Brother Izzy?
It's obvious that living in a Godless Hellhole like England is just not suitable for a good Christian Man like yourself.
Banning the smacking of children?? They'll be banning Guns next!

That's crazy. Here in North Carolina, it isn't considered child abuse unless the bruises take longer than nine days to heal.

Ten day bruise = child abuse.
Nine day bruise = normal corporal punishment.

That's outrageous.

How for God's sake will one be able to raise kids if you can't correct them a little every now and then to keep them on the right path?

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes



Do these Brits REALLY hate their children so much that they would go against God??

Re: Stupid UK government

It gets worse. They're even whining about a wonderful new pain-compliance device that specifically targets young ears. I guess they'd prefer one that hurts old people too?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe...ito/index.html

The Children's Commissioner for England, who oversees children's rights, has called for a ban on the ultra-sonic gadget, known as "The Mosquito," which disperses young people by emitting sharp, piercing sounds.

The device causes discomfort to younger ears by exploiting their ability to hear very high frequencies -- a power which declines once they reach their 20s.

But human rights groups say the machine infringes civil rights and creates a divide between young and old.

Launching the "Buzz Off" campaign, England's Children's Commissioner Al Aynsley-Green said: "I have spoken to many children and young people from all over England who have been deeply affected by ultra-sonic teenage deterrents."

Aynsley-Green said about 3,500 of the devices are in use across England to split up gatherings of youth in areas such as parks and shops...

"These devices are indiscriminate and target all children and young people, including babies, regardless of whether they are behaving or misbehaving," he added.

Youth leaders backed the campaign, adding that The Mosquito fails to address the root problems of anti-social behavior among youths -- and may even push teenagers to congregate in unsafe areas...

...Shami Chakrabarti, [Sounds like a Muslim name, no surprise there] director of the human rights group Liberty, said: "What type of society uses a low-level sonic weapon on its children? Imagine the outcry if a device was introduced that caused blanket discomfort to people of one race or gender, rather than to our kids.

"The Mosquito has no place in a country that values its children and seeks to instill them with dignity and respect."
