Don't know whether you are one of those "serves-them-right" folks. And I am not talking about occasional beatings of children although that in itself isn't right either. I once was disobedient to my teacher at High School (I was 14 yrs of age by then), and when he beat me because of this, I hit him back and that was more severe than what he did. I was much stronger at that time than him. He never did that again, and that's the only thing such people deserve. If these authoritarian assholes can't deal with kids in any other way, they should not be teachers. I have never beaten up my own kids; I do hate violence towards those much weaker. It's unfair and disgraceful!

You should have kicked that person caning you in his/her dirt ass!

Your lifestyle is wrong if you fail to defend yourself against those hurting you.

Taking caning or any other form of beating without reaction such as this is humiliating. Never accept such treatment from anyone! Kick him/her back!

I suppose that's right. On the other hand I was brought up (at school) to endure the cane, and that was controlled beating without anybody losing their temper, as I see it. Mind ,it used to smart like hell and skin was often removed, but didn't really make me live in trepidation. What do you think?
As for my nipper...she beats me up and means it.
