Well, you raise your kids out of fear and anger and whatnot, and i'll raise my kids outta love and respect, and make sure they're my friends, too, and we'll see how fucked up your kids are compared to mine in 20 years. lol
you both have valid outlooks. but its the same as being to left/right.

im black so id be the last person to tell you that whuppin kids asses is wrong. if you dont set some strict guidelines then you have HUGE potential for fucked up youth.

however you're too harsh you get a fucked up asshole too.

kids cant be your "friends". but you can treat them in a manner so youll most likely be "friendly" if anything.

we're raising nations of pussies here in north america. you spank your kid youre a bad parent. dodgeball is bad...bullies are bad.

bullies arent bad at all. in fact id think the school would be doing something wrong if there were no bullies. its a crucial lesson in life when faced with a bully you either shy away from or stand up to. if bush had more people kicking his ass than pampering it in his youth he might not be so detached from reality now.
