Assuring swift and certain punishment is the best way to eliminate that behavior.

Yes. Try & leave out the politics. I believe it's possible to discuss these things rationally without getting political.

The old peace thru war doctrine? Seems we've done that for decades & the behavior hasn't been eliminated. Should we use that philosophy with children too?

I'd prefer you didn't. People will think you're a Republican.

Absolutely with children, and I prefer to call it 'creating respect'.
I also beg to disagree with how successfully it has been implemented over the years. We have had a distinct falloff in its use over the last 6-7 years much like during the later half of the 70's and mid-late 90's

To what degree shall we beat the children? Just short of leaving a mark? Surely we don't want to incur medical expenses? And what level offense shall be grounds for a good beating? Forgetting to take out the garbage?

Wanting peace doesn't mean I wouldn't honor a treaty, that's dishonorable.

"Peace thru war" applied to children to me implies beating or some other form of corporal punishment. But if it means a stern talking to, groundings, & taking away iPods to you, then you have my apologies.

The trick is to leave all options on the table, let them use their own imagination as to what the punishment might be, scarier and a better deterrent than spelling it out for them.
Works in foreign policy, too, just not the way this administration handles it.
