 I want to hear if you think it is right to hit a child. If it is, what justifies it and if you are against it, why????

I find it really fascinating how many women out there want children. I find that great! However i'm really curious to know how many don't?

I heard this prayer this morning at church, as part of the sermon, and loved it.  Thought it would be interest to some of you here.   I've copied the text from http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1052871.html  - an English language Israeli newspaper.

I am feeling Santa-ed out this morning.  I realize that I can't avoid him during this time of heavy shopping-promotion, but, my oh my am I sick of him!  In our family we don't celebrate Santa Claus (or give gifts on the 25th), which is a decision I am happy and proud about. I completely respect other people's traditions and practices in this regard, and my three kids know very well to not interfere with the excitement of other kids.  But I find it very interesting, in a culture that increasingly excludes religious references at this time of year, to see Santa stuff

Everyone must have some of these that they remember from the playground. I was wondering how similar or different the rhymes were from different times and different parts of Canada. Also, I'd be interested to hear what the guys did, since I don't recall doing much with boys from this period of my life (except for my brother, which was different because we always avoided associating at school if possible, though we were great buddies at home).
