Of course you are not my enemy. I just have found some research terribly flawed. On the web, you can find anything pro or con concerning any
one topic. They do say 50 years ago when almost every parent spanked, there was less criminal activity among the young than there is today.

I have a nurse friend that works with troubled teens and there is more brutality and willingness to cause harm to others than ever before. At this young age, 12 on, is numbers of youngsters who have no respect, and are hardened/angry enough to murder. We are loosing so many of our young now to be a drain on society and it's future. That is frightening! I'm not using this one illustration as factual full information....but there are many institutions around that we did not need several years ago.

Most of us using PC have had abuse and been victimized to a larger or lesser degree, but I think we have still been able, for the most part, to function as responsible citizens. This is not to say, that discipline should be spanking or time-out....but where have the parents failed for kids to be so
acting out at such a young age. Just rambling here, but it is a worrisome
thought. Maybe I'm just getting older and looking at things a bit more jaded than in my younger years. Seems like the whole world is such a mess, in every way. Thanks for reading. bj
