cleo...spanking teaches children that there are consequences for inappropriate choices...There is a BIG difference between a spanking and violence. Studies like the one mentioned by SLM(sicklittlemonkey) are biased, and there are no duplicate studies to support the pseudo findings.

"haafu" is as racial as you can get. It signifies something less than full blooded Japanese. The old term in the US was "half-breed" in reference to a person who has mixed heritage. The problem in Japan is that this racial term has become accepted as the norm, which is even worse. It means that racism has become the norm rather than the exception.
