Is everyone on BL a leftist pansy?
Saying this is okay because "you've never seen a real whipping" is like saying no one in the first world can ever complain about anything because people in Africa are starving.
"Hey guys there are worse things that can happen so therefore it's okay!".
Spankings teach kids the hard way.
Just because little kids will usually immedently stop doing whatever you spanked them for as a reaction, how do you know you've actually thought them a moral lesson that will stick with them.
Chances are when they're older, ten, twenty years later, they'll forget what they were spanked for, and just remember hitting others is okay.
