About minority Groups I have no facts, just observations from my travel there as to how a lot of the native americans, asians, hispanics and afroamericans are treated, and how much of that bad treatment is allowed and systemized, I don't say that there is no racism here in Europe, far from it, but there is more struggle against it from goverments I belive. (Don't really know much about the current US govt's struggle against it though!)

I was just wondering, how big is the current defecit in the US budget right now.
I now that it's big but so is the entire US budget, so in percantage it mightn't be that big.
3% is allowed in the EMU.

Spanking children????
Do you spank your grown up friends? Why not? Becourse they can fight back??
I've never been hit by my parents, I've never hit my kids and never will.
As it is Banned to physicly harm your kids (spanking) here in Sweden, spanking isn't very common, the rate of violent injuries and deaths among children has also decreased since that law was made in 1979. And compared to countries where spanking is allowed the violence against kids (death by violence) is far lower in countries where it is Banned.
Hitting your child means you've failed as an adult, you propably feel powerless and can't find any other way, it can't possibly be for the best of the child, saying that is really sick!
