Spanking, within ‘common sense’ reasons, is legal, according to the Supreme
Court of Canada. You can’t use a shoe aor a belt, you can’t hit the kid in
the head, can’t spank if they’re under the age of 2...

In the UK we are allowed “reasonable chastisement”, but it is not something I condone. I have 4 kids, and
I’ve never even thought about it; although I have been bitten and nipped by
them at times.

As an aside, in Europe you probably couldn’t go a block without seeing some
marquee or billboard without seeing an advert with a topless model selling
something... what is it about North America?

Not in my part of Europe! Like you, in the UK we prefer more subtle ways of
exploiting women to sell cars etc. Even the “hello boys” WonderBra advert was
withdrawn in the UK. This is about
as controversial we have gotten.
