re: Adrian Peterson issues a statement

I feel like I need to go get a switch and pop myself a good 10 times to see what it does to my skin. I caught whoopings as a kid, so I tend to think this may look worse than it is, especially in today's extremely oversensitized and reactionary society.

ETA: That being said, I don't whip my daughter. She's gotten a two pat spanking once or twice, but that's it. I guess that flies in the face of AP's excuse of that's how he was disciplined. I have no problems with how I was disciplined as a kid but I still don't use those methods either.
