“There is nothing more pathetically sad than a parent who teaches a child not to hit by spanking them. Well, that, and adults who think hitting someone will solve a problem.”
“There are terrible people who, instead of solving a problem, bungle it and make it more difficult for all who come after. Whoever can't hit the nail on the head should, please, not hit at all.”
“When a child hits a child, we call it aggression.When a child hits an adult, we call it hostility.When an adult hits an adult, we call it assault.When an adult hits a child, we call it discipline.”
“He seemed to think that spanking solved problems instead of taking the time to talk about them.”
“We think a wise person is someone who solves problems. Truth is, a wise person is someone who avoids problems.”
“so who's more adult- somebody who works like mad to avoid a problem or somebody who works like mad to solve it?”
