I was whipped when i was little, not very often but occassionly. I think id have turned out better if i had been whipped more as a child.

But anyway. The government constantly gets between disputes that should be between the family. The government is constantly increasing taxes which takes time away from parent children activities to being put at working longer hours. It is nearly impossible for a single parent to make ends meat these days.

And im not just going after the media, or the government. But also the way people project themselves. there were times when you did not act a certain away around people. you respected their age or rank.
Im not saying this is the perfect way, but people had respect for others, and basic etiquette.
