    • Man, I'll beat the shit out a kid.

      No, I'm kidding.
      Beating is not ok.
      I do think a light smack on the back of the hand or a swat across the behind is harmless as a punishment, however.
      Furthermore, all kids should learn how to fight to defend themselves. All kids should learn to take a hit, too, as you can't expect the school bully to miss your kid's nose on purpose when there's nobody around to put a stop to the inevitable.
      The current generation of teenagers were raised on a whole lot of "Johnny/Suzie, don't do that. Johnny/Suzie, please stop. Johnny/Suzie mommy's getting upset. I'm going to count to three! One...Two...Two & a half... Ok, you're grounded!"
      And Johnny/Suzie scoffs & says, "Fuck you, mom." while they're walking out the door.
      I cheer when I catch a parent giving their kid a well-deserved spanking. Fuck that soft, undisciplined bullshit. It doesn't produce anything I'd want starting the next generation.
