While we're on this subject, I'd bet a lot of money 9 out of 10 kids today have never had their butts blistered with a belt for misbehaving. Today parents just take their I-pods away from them for a day or two and everything is just fine. My brother and I got a whooping about once a week. And all 3 of my kids have had whoopings, including my 2 girls. Today they all 3 are well-mannered, polite courteous adult Christians. If you young married parents think its not right to whip your kids, then be prepared to face the music.
