We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Bah, Humbug! I'm all for corporal punishment, and throughout my school life have always advocated the belt, slipper, cane, or tawse and written several essays to that effect.
I believe smacking children under 3 is banned in scotland, and the degree to which once can smack a child is restricted, i.e. if bruises or welts occur due it, it is illegal. But a slap across the wrist, or a clip around the ear -- which were common in the Ducal Household -- are permitted.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Re: Anti-Smacking Law
Little children can be extremely vulnerable if hit the wrong way, so I can see how some of these laws make sense from a medical perspective. I'm neither pro nor contra hitting your child though, if it works for you and you don't hurt the kid it's fine by me.
I'd personally advocate burning toys, giving them nothing but brussel sprouts to eat, unplugging the tv or computer or threatening to send baby pictures to a HS mailing list before smacking though.

Re: Anti-Smacking Law
I got both when I misbehaved, as I got older there was less spanking/smacking and more grounding/priviledge removal. Getting spanked is easy time, not being able to watch TV or get on the computer sucked big time. Much more effective.

Re: Anti-Smacking Law
Hmm, I was talking about raising kids and teaching them disciplin, morals and how to behave, your wife and boss should know that already.
My parents stopped smacking me when I grew older because at that point they could just as well talk to me, their authority was established and I became more reasonable.
Smacking the wife is about as bad as wives smacking the husband or boyfriend, which can often be seen in movies and is surprisingly not frowned upon. It's always the fault of the man.
