Opinions on “spanking is abuse” parents?

Question by *Laura*: Opinions on “spanking is abuse” parents?
What is your opinion of the people that say “spanking your child is abuse” “I’m going to call CPS on you if I see you spank that child” “my child can do what they want,they’re their own person” etc and end up with drug addicted pregnant teens,and want to blame the REST of society for their children being how they are? Don’t you agree that those parents should be the most to blame for how their children are? I mean obviously they’ve taught them no morals,no self value,nothing of that sort,not a difference between right and wrong. Your opinions? I think spanking is 100% fine if it’s done in the right way,with the right reasons behind it,not just because you’re mad at your child. It’s done to teach a lesson,not to abuse a child. HUGE difference between spanking and abuse,and by not spanking/teaching your children right/wrong,you’re allowing THEM To become the abusers to someone else because they don’t know any better.

Is there a way to kick a marijuana addiction without the resulting depression, mood swings, and other miseries?

Question by Eric R: Is there a way to kick a marijuana addiction without the resulting depression, mood swings, and other miseries?
I know experts say that there is no such thing as a marijuana addiction, and that is JUST charming, but back in the real world, I need answers.
Every time I try to quit, I get plagued by depression and bad moods.

“…but marijuana is a depressant. You should feel better.”

Once again, a charming sentiment, but that’s just not the way things work.
I’ve lost friends, jobs, and a social life in my attempts to quit…and by “social life” I don’t mean sitting on the couch with my stoner friends. When I go without, I get so depressed that I don’t want to go anywhere. A lot of working at a job has to do with being nice to others. Whenever I try to quit, I get angry really easily. I’ve lashed out at friends, co-workers, and even customers, when otherwise I would have been very nice.

“That’s just the withdrawal. You’ll feel better when it’s over” = Idiotic sentiment #3
Six months of “will-power” did nothing but make me feel better. In fact, a lost a lot of friends (most of which don’t even smoke) by my inability to be as happy-go-lucky.

“Then they weren’t your friends in the first place.”
Maybe, but it beats being alone.

“Make new friends”
Yeah right, a recovering drug addict with an anger issue is such a draw

“See a shrink”
I can’t I’m poor

“Well, if you’re poor then you shouldn’t be able to afford drugs”
I’m willing to do the extra work for a fix

“Then you should be able to the same amount of work to save for a psychologist”
There’s no visible incentive. At least with marijuana, I KNOW I’m going to get high.

“There are also groups and clergy people that could help”
I absolutely despise group therapy. I lack the ability to feign interest in other people when I’m smoking, let alone when I’m trying to quit, and I don’t trust religious people. They always play the Jesus angle. “With faith and God’s help you can kick this addiction. Now go hand out flyers for our church”
