Laws are temporary.
One of the great lessons that no-spanks and other radical liberals
often make in their references to organized slavery and women's rights is in failing to acknowledge that a vast collection of laws perpetuated both slavery and the rights movement. No one in his right mind would try to enforce fugitive slave laws these days. Yet, these were once among the most powerful laws in the land. Other laws have come and gone. It was once illegal to possess alcoholic beverages. These days, liquor is widely available. Cocaine and related products were once legal to obtain. Not so these days. Even the future of the ubiquitous Patriot Act is in limbo. That is the nature of laws. Someone with the power to do so sees a perceived need and passes a law. Over time, the attitude of society changes and the once necessary law is ignored or is replaced by other laws. The Soviet Union once wrote the equality of women into its constitution. It was the law of the land that women were equal with men. That is now longer the case. Like America's fugitive slave laws, equality of the sexes is no longer enforceable in Russia. It time, it is the fate of all laws that try to make the world anew. |

Yes. And you find this strange in what way? No one in his right mind would try to enforce fugitive slave laws these days. Yet, these were once among the most powerful laws in the land. Mmm.....I'm really impressed with your grasp of logic. Other laws have come and gone. Yep. It was once illegal to possess alcoholic beverages. Still is for minors, and in open containers in moving vehicles, and enough of it inside a person to impede their driving capacity. These days, liquor is widely available. Gosh, I hate to remind you, but it was widely available during prohibition. That's one of the reasons, along with the growth of organized crime, that the law was appealed. Tell you what. When the spanking ban comes into law, if organized crime grows, I'll discuss a repeal with you. Tell me, have you heard yet of the STM and their providing places to spank and objects to paddle with? STM? Spanking Teachers Mafia, of course. Cocaine and related products were once legal to obtain. Not so these days. Oh? I can get lots of various drugs legally. No problem as long as my conditions warrants and a doctor agrees. The laws still work. Even the future of the ubiquitous Patriot Act is in limbo. That is the nature of laws. Sure is. We tend to have the ones we want, ignore the ones we don't, and society moves right along. Just as we wanted one to end slavery forever in this country, and to enfranchise women, we want one to give the same protection from assault to children that adults enjoy. Someone with the power to do so sees a perceived need and passes a law. "Someone?" You mean someone with the assigned power by vote of the people and subject to intense lobbying? That would be correct. Notice we vote, and we lobby. And there are more of us all the time. Over time, the attitude of society changes and the once necessary law is ignored or is replaced by other laws. Yep. That assault laws do not extend to chidlren in full is just such an instance. Tell you what. When the spanking ban law comes into effect if it's ever not needed, I'll be the first to ignore it. Of course that will mean parents have stopped assaulting their children. The Soviet Union once wrote the equality of women into its constitution. It was the law of the land that women were equal with men. That is now longer the case. Like America's fugitive slave laws, equality of the sexes is no longer enforceable in Russia. It time, it is the fate of all laws that try to make the world anew. You ran this one by before. Tell us, because more and more banks open, making the opportunity for bank robbery more likely, and thus the law against it less effective, shall we repeal those laws? No, lil 'o' you've once again made an utter and complete ass of yourself. Just as other countries have shown, anti-CP laws work to lower the incident of CP. Other issues, even if related, come under other laws. An anti-CP law is primarily for one thing. To end the assault of children under color of parental rights to 'discipline.' That they still will is not in question, nor that some parents will in fact beat their children and otherwise abuse them. This law will be for one purpose, and it's coming. All the hysteria you can muster here, and the rapidly diminishing public rhetoric in favor of child assualt by parents, is not going to change the inevitable. It would be so refreshing if you folks could come up with something really logical and hopefully factual, to defend the need to spank children. Really. Give it a try. Hundreds before you have tried and failed, but you, observer, are special. I can tell. 0:- |
