Who says i dont have evidence? i've seen evidence of a smack [not a full throttled attack, a smack] making a child think twice before running across a busy road. Maybe showing the kid a video of another kid like him/her being runover might do the job better, but probably leaves a mental scar. Which is a lot worse than a stinging pain for about 5 seconds.
'we never suggest that we should cause physical pain to adults who don't do as they're told.'
Well the stats aren't that convincing...
BBC - Press Office - World citizens reject torture, global poll suggests
anyway, sorry, to the thread at hand... i can see im not going to convince u lol, but i wouldnt want to talk about sex with my 4 year child without him/her showing an interest because opening the door to sex will make them understand other things, such as the world of perverts and paedophiles, rape and other sexual abuse. And i jus wouldnt want someone so young to be worrying about it so early in life.
If they start teaching it at school however i'd feel obliged to allow my child in on these lessons to avoid him/her receiving it 2nd hand in the playground which i do think is less likely if they're not actually taught about it.
