Ok, now youre getting stupid. If you are saying its sort of warped and sexual, well, yes. As testimony to that you can cite the fact that most of us would get an erection if presented with the ready haunches of a high school girl in those little skirts and knee-high socks. I dont think anyone with a penis is going to argue that point.

But Brutal? Comeon dude, grow up. There is no BRUTALITY in some slaps with a board on the ass. Stop exaggerating.

And dont reply with, "How would you like it if..." or, "How come parents cant..." or any other stupid emotionally charged bullshit. You know damn well you cannot present an objective case for a slap on the ass as being Brutal.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>I'm not sure by what standard "some slaps with a board on the ass" fails to qualify as brutal (especially if you're not interchanging it with merely "a slap on the ass"). You might at least want to qualify your statement after seeing some of the paddling-related bruises on this page.

One objective fact to consider (though it's not often available for measurement) is the degree of skin inflammation that results immediately from a paddling, whether or not bruises later form. Then consider how much water at how high a temperature it would take to achieve similar results.

Does inflammation from spanking correlate less sharply to pain intensity than inflammation from scalding? Would scalding someone's ass not be "brutal" in your book?

There's nothing bullshit at all about asking people to put themselves in the position of a victim or their family--and certainly not about asking why there's a double standard allowing teachers to do to kids what their parents can't. If that's too emotionally charged for you, maybe you should stick to debating less emotionally charged practices.
