Do you know what the purple paint law is?

If the land has a fence around it, you stay out.

If the land isn't fenced with no "no tresspassing" signs set out all over the place, I'd see no reason why you couldn't hike through the area.

If I owned 50 acres somewhere and didn't get there much, I'd make certain to be very neighborly to look out after the place when I'm not there.

We own about 20 acres a few miles out of town. We don't live there. I visit it once in a while and harvest firewood and mow the trails. The guy that owns the property next to ours keeps an eye on it for us. He bought his 20 acres the same week we bought ours. There were several miles of dirt bike trails on the two properties. It took us several years to get people to realize we did not want them riding on our property. We'd barricade the trails and post the signs, and they'd steal the barricade logs, drag them down the abandoned railroad grade 1/4 mile, and tear down the signs. Finally they rode on a wet day, and left a mud trail all the way back to their house. I got the cops involved, and spoke with their parents, and that ended that.

I let that neighboring property owner hunt our property and he has several deer stands on it. He still sees people out there occasionally and asks them to leave. And we still frequently see signs of people out there, trash, or 4 wheeler tracks. But for the most part, having someone keeping an eye on it makes a huge difference.

This unit is for hunters however anyone can use it for property boundaries.

That said, some kids can be like wild little ...

Dude, really?

I spanked my boys perhaps a couple of times. Generally one swat, always with an open hand.

When they got older, realized that there were other punishments that hurt more than a swat.

That said, some kids can be like wild little indians.

We had two of those. To us at least they were. To almost everyone else they were perfect little angels.

The oldest was very stoic. Still is. He could not be disciplined with physical punishment. The youngest was different. He wasn’t affected by spankings either but he felt embarrassed to get one so the threat worked. The oldest we had to get the point across that he didn’t need to fear what we could do to him but he needed to be concerned what we would not do for him if he acted up.

It's not been holding up in courts very well, even junior-league lawyers are coming up with arguments that courts are accepting.

Funny, I thought we had the only two like that. However, at school, one would get into more trouble than the other. Outside of the home and school however, we got nothing but compliments on how well behaved they were.

1st grade was the 1st time I ever feared an adult. Nun hit me in the head with a broken pointer stick. Left a welt. I had to get my parents involved. That stopped it for me, but others still got beat on a regular basis. The beatings didn't stop the behavior.

I went to school in the 70's. I honestly cant not remember "regular beatings" given to anyone.

If one of my boys came home and had a welt on their head after coming home for school, they wouldn't have to get us involved because we would be adressing it with the school automatically. Corporal punishment in school should not leave marks on the body IMO.

I agree 110% The purpose is to discipline the kid, not take your frustrations on him. You can also change "kid" to dog, horse, or...

I asked my siblings a few years ago if we ever got spanked. I honestly don't remember, and they couldn't either. We did know that the threat was there though... as somebody else said, the embarassment alone is a deterrent.

So a nun broke a stick over your head for bad behavior, but it didn’t stop your bad behavior? Then your parents got involved and beatings stopped?
I would think your parents getting the beatings stopped is why. My guess is if the beatings continued there would be more of a chance your bad behavior would have stopped.
I don’t ever condone corporal punishment.
