  I attended a public school that had corporal punishment. Guess what, the kids respected the teachers. No one got a paddling that didn't deserve it. Furthermore, crime and violence was unheard of. I had more than one teacher ask to borrow my pocket knife to open something, the same pocket knife I carried to school every day. Most students with pickups kept hunting rifles in their backglass. A few kids would trade a few fisticuffs from time to time, but a black eye or two and a trip to the school counselor and it was over with.

  I'm finding myself more and more at odds with this pc morally bankrupt society.

  Though warning against physical punishment, a government pamphlet for parents says: "Of course, you have the right as a parent to get angry and show it."

  I disagree 100%. Discipline, no matter what form, should never be done in anger. What a bunch of assholes. There is nothing wrong with spanking a child when done properly.

  sorry, this is a real rant, and i'm beside my self.. here in florida we have had a horrible winter.

  now we are spending hours cutting trimming and pulling up dead plants to be picked up by the garbage company on a certain day of the week.

  no problem.. this week my neighbors placed their bags 10 feet into the edge of my lawn to be picked up.

  JD...I don't want his yard or house waste in my lawn that doesn't get picked up so how is that getting petty?

  Your actions are petty. Your not wanting waste in your yard isn't. You appear to need to learn some basic social skills.

  Reverse the situation. How would you like to be approaced when you offend someone, whether intentonally or unintentionally?

  Same here.

  More emotional based diatribe. I grow weary of the intellectually dishonest.

  Is that a tacit admission that your worldview is based upon emotion?
