I think a large part of it is WE were 'afraid' of (read 'respected') our parents.  Did we disobey and act up....sure.  BUT we knew for darn sure where the line was.
Bottom line.... ADULTS were in charge and we (kids) knew that and repected that. 

I couldn't agree more, Haz.  My grandpa kept a loaded .38 S&W on top of his dresser and an unlocked gun cabinet, for as long as I can remember.  Fear of getting my rear end tanned, along with proper safety training, were enough to keep me out of trouble.  Time outs just don't have the same effect as a good ol' fashioned whoopin'.  Fellow Americans, I implore you.  Beat (spank) your kids, it may save their lives someday.  If you don't have the stones to do it, ask a neighbor.  Heck, call me, I may start a service.  I see enough candidates in a single trip to Wal-Mart to keep me in business for a while.  

Swoop

P.S. Just in case... I was not condoning nor suggesting violent acts against children.  Their is a difference between correction and abuse.  I, for one, don't believe their is anything wrong with traditional spanking.  I'm glad my parents cared enough to tan my hide.

I really agree with you on that Swoop. Too many parents nowadays are either too lazy or too afraid to discipline their child. I was raised the same way as most of the previous posts said. I got in trouble, it was the 2 inch wide, 1/4 inch thick leather belt to my hind end. It makes for better adults in the future.

Me being a parent now, with a daughter that is more stubborn than a drunk mule, has had to discipline her often. Just a quick and stinging swat to her backside is all it takes. No damage done, just temporary pain to remind her of what the rules are. And after every time, explain why she was being punished. It isn't done out of anger, but out of love.

She knows not to touch any of my guns without me being there. Strangely enough today, I just finished installing a new gun safe in my home to guarantee she stays out of them, but there are still a few left out for quick access. But the mystery of them is gone. She sees me handling one, she will ask to see it too. She looks at it, says that is GREAT, and is done. I have to add, she will be 3 years old on the 24th this month.

I am also glad in the Texas they actually have a law making it legal to reasonably discipline a child in public without fear of Child Protective Services being called on you.

I do have to say though, I am truly sorry for their loss. No matter what the circumstances. The loss of a child would be, by far, the worst thing I could think of.


Proverbs 13:24 - He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.

Proverbs 22:15 - Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

Even Salomon said "Spare the rod and spoil the child". The phrase "rule of thumb" comes from the old tradition that if you hit your wife or kids with a stick smaller than your thumb it was not abuse.

As far as the "rule thumb" thing, that was before Samuel Colt. I think the best thing we could do to counter Islamic extremism, is start giving out guns to muslim women in Pakistan.

+100 on that Swoop!!

Glad my parents instilled,"tanned" this in me. Having raised three boys and the oldest being a new parent now I hope my wife and I have passed this on.
