It just hit me, the problem with todays youth that is. Have you ever noticed todays youth being so mischevious, misbehaved, mouthy, etc.? Well, I have, being barely out of youth myself.
Sparing the rod and spoiling the child is the problem! Of course, some parents believe they can not spank their children, and some politicians believe this as well. At least where I live, if you spank your child with an open palm on their bottom it is legal (so long as marks are not left). Haha, this is a bunch of crap! When I was little I got spankings when I misbehaved, I got back-handed when I smarted off, and so forth.
It seems that a spanking is a bad thing? No! My parents did it, their parents did it, their parents did it, and so on! They all came out pretty good I'd say! I came about fairly well also.
To hell with sparing the rod, I'll use the damn thing! When I was a kid, we did not have video games (they were still a new technology, about the most we had was nintendo, sega, or atari!), nor did we have air conditioning, nor did we have cable television! Know what this left us to do? We played outside... CONSTANTLY! It was our only fun all summer. Playing street ball and riding bikes was about it. This also kept us healthy! Until I was able to stay inside to play video games, watch television, and so forth I was thin and healthy! Now? Haha!
So parents, please don't spare the rod. If it is a nice day, why not suggest to your kids to go play OUTSIDE! Shoot some hoops, play football, ride bikes, even go swimming! I used to spend entire summers camping with only a friend and what we could carry. We would go for 3+ days at a time and come home only for a couple of days.
Wow...
