@ GogotherapitSeven reasons, reminds me when I tried to write a parser for a text adventure around 1985 and tried to determine how many subprograms were needed for events. Back then I came up with maybe four and at most half a dozen (six of the best?). At first I thought that I would be lucky if I could reduce it to a dozen subprograms. It all went downhill when I started the program, which ended with a memory error when defining the array for the text variables since the computer would assign 256 bytes beforehand for the empty fields. With only 11.5 kB available it more than filled the memory at once.
What I am trying to say is, that you will always see lots of reasons, but in the end it all will be done to even less since pro and con (+ and -) will often be two sides of the coin (a reason).

No spanking is ever unfair, just unexpected!
@ jogreenknickersGetting caught is unexpected, you did the crime expecting to get away with it. Once you got caught you expected the spanking in times gone past.
Getting a spanking after your brother spinned tales can hardly be fair. At least a spanking isn't a death sentence. It can't be taken back but at least it isn't the end of days.
