I would guess the word "girlfriend" should be put in alleged/doubtful "quotes."

onewrldoneppl: Great advice! Except for the squatting, it's almost exactly what we've done up in Niigata. No despair here.

Nessie--from what I've read in Niigata, it's an average year for nuts, not like 2 years ago when the beech nut shortage brought bears down out of the mountains just before hibernation, causing all kinds of problems. I don't know what the situation up in Hokkaido is this year.

I live in Niigata, and this morning's paper (Niigata Nippou) reported it as probably 2 different bears--one was reported to be a meter, the other reported to be 1.6 meters. Has the story changed since then?

Fine photo. Looks like something my students might take of themselves at the beach. I don't really understand the complaints. Posed? Only in the sense of "Let's take an interesting, memorable photo that will make us smile when we look at it later." Fake? I'd say absolutely not. "Big legs"? "Better in Miami"? You're looking at a small selection of average Japanese females between high school and college age (I guess). I don't see anything unusual here. Again, it's a fun, sweet photo.

It's hard to make a comprehensive case in the space of a forum entry, but for anyone interested in non-violent approaches to discipline and child-rearing (whether the violence be physical, verbal, or psychological), I would recommend the works of William Sears and his wife. Especially, "The Successful Child" is concise and applicable from children from infancy to teens. Of course, the question is not simply hitting as a means of discipline--there are many ways of "hitting" without actually making physical contact--but rather what consistent (yet evolving) system of child-rearing a parent chooses. My wife and I are believers in Sears' attachment parenting--it has allowed us to have wonderful relationships with our 2 beautiful children. Oh, and to answer the question, there is never a need to hit a child. As a Christian parent, I'm also concerned how the "spare the rod" verse is misinterpreted as a mandate to use physical punishment on children. To answer that, I would recommend a good work on Biblical-based child rearing, "Heartfelt Discipline."
